Resident Evil ORC Models/Character swap

[kostasishere]

How to play lay as Leon, Hunk, Jill...
1. You will need a Hex edit program
2. Go to dlc/pack1/characters and find a file "characters.swb2" (make sure to keep a backup)
3 Open the characters.swb2 with the Hex editor and if for example you want to change {Lupo with Carlos} first type to find the text string Carlosoliviera.ssg

4. Select the line with the adress for the Carlos model but start from the 00 hex values and finish again the selection again with all the 00 like the picture (make sure to copy the Hex values and not the text string)
5. Now search now for Lupo.ssg in text string, again select the adress for Lupo model and make sure to start from 00 hex values the and finish with all the 00 hex values.

and now paste and replace the hex with Carlos model.
6. Search again for Lupo.ssg and replace the value again with Carlos values (you need to replace the 2 first model adress because the first adress is for the playable character and the second is for the ai bot)
7. Do the same and find Carlosoliviera.edgemolel, select and copy again the adress from the 00 hex and finish with all the 00 values.

8. Do the same for lupo.edgemodel

and replace with the Carlosoliviera.edgemolel hex values.
9. Search again for lupo.edgemodel and the replace it again with Carlos edgemodel value (like i said above you need again to replace the 2 first model adress because the first adress is for the playable character and the second is for the ai bot model)
10.Save it and you are done.
Now you will have Carlos character for Lupo and it works fine with the default xex and the new TU

TIP:Every model adress line (ClaireRedfield.ssg and ClaireRedfield.edgemodel for ex) have three results in the characters.swb2, you need to replace only the two first adress lines you will find (the first is for the playable model, the second is for the ai bot model or it will be invisible in the game and the third/last is info about the character and if you replace this model adress you will have a fatal crash error) so every time you search for a character model adress to replace go to the top of the hex editor and just make a click and than search for the model.

Sorry for my English and have fun ;)

[kostasishere]

Just manage to make it work, tutorial and character added. Have fun ;)

[nicola37]

what is the dlc required to do this? I tried with Echo Six Expansion pack 1 but it did not work; the "characters.swb2" file did not contain any string like "Carlosoliviera.ssg" or similar one.

edit: download link is broken

Just updated the tutorial and upload a second character swap
You don't need a dlc file, only if you want to swap the alt USS skins you will need the dlc to unlock them.
I added in the tutorial a spoiler with the correct characters/models names so you can find them. For ex to find Carlos search CarlosOliveria.ssg. in the characters.swb2 ;)

[nicola37]

I still don't get what i have to edit. Where do i have to look for that file? In the RE ORC folder i have only:
- save game
- game installed file
- DLC files

I found dlc/packx/characters (x stand for 1, 2, 3, 4) directory only in Echo Six Expansion pack 1 and 2 and nemesis mission, but than the "characters.swb2" file is very different from the one you uploaded. I did not found strings like "Carlosoliveira.ssg". Where do i have to look for that file?

The tutorial is for jtag rip not for the pc version of REORC in case of misunderstanding (it also works for the pc but the file and values are different if you try to mod it) so if you try to mod the jtag version go to the folder you rip the game and go to the subfoler dlc/pack1/characters and you will find the file characters.swb2 to edit. Again just in case to make it more simple, there is a subfolder inside the game with the name dlc (so don't try to find characters.swb2 in a downloadable contest file with le fluffie or Horizon) ;)

Awesome tutorial kostas great work bro

Cheers thegutta ;)

[nicola37]

yeah, i was trying to mod some dlc file ^^" too bad i don't have a jtag. I would really use ada, leon, ecc... as main characters.
