RE4UHD BIN Tool Tutorial
A foreword about how I'd like to answer your questions about these tools
If you have any questions about a particular tool or process, please ask in the appropriate tool thread instead of posting in the Main thread of the tools release. I will not answer questions about particular tools unless they are asked in the appropriate threads. I am asking this because I want to keep this information organized so it is not scattered all over the place.
For the RE4UHD BIN Tool Tutorial please visit the online Google Doc HERE
A full directory of all the RE4UHD tutorials can be viewed HERE
Happy Modding!

Hi Mr. Curious
With our current knowledge, can we add a breakable lock to our ETM door?
And can we add an interactable bell or replace it? (bells in r201 for Garrador.)
Thank you

Thank you AFAIK we can not add these kind of locks to ETM doors, however there are some ETM doors that have them already. I think try looking in R20e (the one with the wine bottle and painting that flips). I am not sure about this really. As far as the bell goes you can definitely move it, but we can not add these with the tools we have as they are BIN files in the UDAS that are controlled by the exe.

Thank you Mr. Curious. I spent hours to know things about locks. It appears that the lock has nothing to do with .UDAS file. Anyway, the lock is associated to "Model_ETS_ID=" in ETS file. Unfortunately, if we made more than one door uses the seem ETS ID, the lock will work only on one of them. I searched on r20c the room that you are referring to, and unfortunately it's just the seem as any other door. The only thing we can do is to move the door with its lock (or to assign the locked ETS ID to the desired door). We are limited to the room and its number of locks. Here is a better alternative option, can we add a locked ETS door with a key item? Thank you Mr. Curious for being very helpful.

If you look in r101 udAS you will see the lock model there as BIN file.
About adding locks; no we cannot do this. I spoke with razor at length about this and we did a lot of research on this. He said it would be too much trouble to add a function to his DLL for this feature so sadly we can not do this.

Yes indeed.

This is really sad, thank you guys for putting a lot of efforts for this game.
Thank you Mr. Curious for being helpful as always. Have a nice day.

sorry update here: I originally said " I think try looking in R20e (the one with the wine bottle and painting that flips). I am not sure about this really. " the room I meant to try is r20c.
Cheers

ok so, i found a mod for 2007 i want to convert. looking around, it seems i need to extract the .bin files of the 2007 mod to get the smd files. unfortunately, this is where i'm stuck. every time i run the extractor, i get "invalid model file".

Yeah, you don't use BIN files from 2007. The 2007 version uses PMD files which need to be converted to SMD, then the skeleton of the newly generated SMD has to be converted from 2007 to UHD skeleton.

that's the problem. i don't have PMD files (which is what i meant to say, when i put SMD). the mod i have starts as a bunch of .dat files, which i've extracted, and i get the equivalent of an extracted .udas file, which is 133 files being a mix of bin, tpl, fcv and whatnot. i know that with the UHD files, i can easily extract a bin to get the current SMD files for replacing/repacking, but the mod i want to convert won't decompress
i did however snoop into the folders and found an xfile folder that looks to be the primary resources, as it's filled with pmd and tga files, assuming those are what i need to be using. i initially thought to just replace the original bin files with the mod's bin files (i've seen they're incompatible due to skeleton rigging, but wanted to try). but the one step i can't find anywhere is how to recompress the udas files back into lfs, seeing as the lfs tool doesn't have a repack option
last thing, and i know this is off topic, i tried registering to the site before posting, but seems it wouldn't let me. the final OK button in the process doesn't do anything

you're better off asking about this in the right section of the forums. This section is for the UHD version of the game, and this thread is for the BIN Tool for UHD.
