I tried working on this myself, but it is above my skill level (I am extremely new to modding and life currently disallows me the time I need to sit down and figure it out). I was hoping there was a file with a simple command that told the game when to load what model, depending on selection, so I could just tell it to load the alternate costumes, but looks like i have to unpack and rename the models/texture, or something. Like I said, I am extremely new to modding.
Basically I'd like to see Ada's costumes swapped around (both ingame and cutscenes):
Special 1 -> Normal
Special 2 -> Special 1
Default -> Special 2
So when starting a game with the "Normal" costume selection, Ada is in her Assignment Ada outfit.
When starting a game with the "Special 1" costume selection, Ada is in her more classic looking outfit.
And when starting a game with the "Special 2" costume selection, Ada is in her long Chinese dress.

To make Ada's costume fall a little more inline with Leon's.
For normal, Leon would have tactical gear, Ada would have tactical gear.
For special 1, Leon would have his outfit from RE2, Ada would have an outfit like the one she had in RE2.
For special 2, Leon would be in a very fancy yet impractical outfit, Ada would be in a very fancy yet impractical outfit.

It would be cool if there were more options in the main menu without the need of a trainer. I would like to swap the costumes around so that Gangster Leon is with Popstar Ashley and RCPD Leon is with Armored Ashley (it just makes more sense that way IMO)

That's a great idea, but i guess it is impossible, unless someone figure out how to decompile and compile the game script Also it's possible to change Leon and Ada costumes in Mercenaries mode during the character selection Leon with jacket - Hold [M] and press [Enter] Leon with a gangster costume - Hold [M] + [Z] and press [Enter] Leon with R.P.D. uniform - Hold the [Z] and press [Enter] Ada in costume from Assignment - hold [Z] and press [Enter] Ada in costume from Separate Ways - hold [M] and press [Enter] steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=487894737Not sure with buttons for X360 Controller, but i really like to see the options just like Leon costume selection

That's a great idea, but i guess it is impossible, unless someone figure out how to decompile and compile the game script yes exactly but meanwhile that we don't have access to the engine we can use a trick!  it can be possible by using a launcher for the game exe a simple file renamer app i mean running another exe before running the game exe (with same appearance as re4 menu music etc) and in that launcher selecting the outfits (by a swap script (renaming , replacing) and click on a launch button (which it can have two task to do, first call the bio4.exe and then close the launcher) or for not messing with the packs and folders by scripting making few different modified bio4.exe and renaming the used model in them (hex editing) and in the launcher adding few shots of characters' outfits and link them to the correct modified bio4.exe actually we can do lots of more cool things by our own game launcher (musics , mods...) i wish one day they will release this old engine and i believe that we can make the re4 the most lovely wanted game ever if we had the engine lots of new levels , new stages , even new story and also saving my favorite luis of that bad fate

What about swapping the names of the models/textures? i think probably it needs some packs editing to make them ready to load correctly in other selections but at least possible Yeah Im trying, but I'll probably be headed to Afganistan by the end of next month, so I have been preparing for that. why? (what for?) are you an Afghani or an American soldier? (if it's a trip i wish an enjoyable trip for you) cheers

you cant simply rename the files because the udas files contain files with names in them, bin files etc.
Swapping characters is not hard to do though once you learn how to import a character in 3d modelling. Son of Persia has a tutorial and Markos as well.
Happy Modding
