Resident Evil mods

[TheMortician]

Just dropped by to let you guys know that i've written a documentation about modding RE1 for pc. It's not complete but it's still very useful right now.

TheMortician's RESIDENT EVIL (PC) mod documentation

I will update this doc as soon as i can. I will also add a guide for editing the textures of the "door sequence" doors soon.

Very interesting kevstah.

Would you mind to explain me how to find and extract the .tim files out of the .ivm files? I didn't find them with TimViewer and Yu Ri.

I could use that for my documentation and would give you credits for that ;)

EDIT: Forget it, i've found out bymyself Seems like i never tried to open them with one of them.. I was sure i did but i didn't haha xD

But what about the .gpx files? Do you know anything about them? or how to open the .PIX files without any loss? I opened them with painthop but the colors were mixed up and not everything of the image was viewable.. I only know they're .raw files

[MarkGrass]

Keep up the good work.

To help a little,

.PIX - Headerless TIM Textures (Item Avatars)
.EMW - Code + TIM + TMD (Real-Time Weapon Models)

About the .PIX, if you see one that is 150KB (example - CLIS01.PIX), copy the header from a 151KB TIM over to the PIX and rename it with a TIM extension. You can then view the 16Bpp TIM in PhotoShop, PSicture, etc.

Yep you scan any file with TimViewer for .TIM files just use the Raw Scan thingy, I'll update the list later and make it more ledgeble as there are a few mistakes and it looks a mess it's worth noting that models and tims in the .IVM files are only used for the "check" / examining model. As for .PIX's try PixEdit 7.

[kevstah2004]

I thought the .PIX was the Alias PIX Format how do I go about changing the file header of a .PIX file then is it just copying the header from a .TIM with the exact same file size that only contains one image explain please as I'm a complete noob

[TheMortician]

Yeah MarkGrass, could you explain just a little bit more?

[kevstah2004]

^ Looking at your thread at bioflames how did you edit the savedat1.dat to get the extra PC weapons?

[Gradon]

100V.IVM...Don't you suppose that could be Wesker's gun? Or Kenneth's? I can't really remember well since I haven't played the game for ages. But, just some random ideas..

You think youre a noob i thought you were speaking French right there.

[TheMortician]

^ Looking at your thread at bioflames how did you edit the savedat1.dat to get the extra PC weapons?

Hehe thats easy hex-editing ;)

Load the file savedat1.dat with a hex-editor like HexShop or AXE.
Then change any XX XX (for example 00 00) value in line 00000320 to one of the following:

01FF CombatKnife

49FF Mixed (All)
4AFF Mixed (Silver Color)

6FFF Uzi w/ Infinity
70FF Mini MI Machinegun w/ Infinity 115

You can change every 4-byte string (for example 00 00) in line 00000320 to one of the above.
But remember that you will only have 6 slots with Chris so you will have to replace some digits from mid to end of the string.

For example, it should look like this for you having the Machinegun in the last slot of Chris' inventory.



I hope that helps



Here is a picture showing both weapons ingame



The skins used in this picture are

Chris - "Night Operations" skin that looks like the Saturn one
Jill - "Red Belly Shirt with Shorts" skin from the PC version

[kevstah2004]

So it's this?

[TheMortician]

Don't know for sure about line 00000330 i only now that line 00000320 can/should be changed. Its possible that the line below is responsible for Jill's 7 th & 8 th slot.. Have you tried it out and can confirm it?

[kevstah2004]

Yes.

(Jill)
When slot 8 is empty it shifts the value for slot 7 on line 330 [****,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,40FF,FF08]
to [0000,****,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000] on the 320 line.

(Chris)
If either slot 5 or 6 is filled or both are filled the line 330 is changed to [020F,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,40FF,FF08].

now to find the lines for item box shouldn't be to hard to find.

[MarkGrass]

Yeah MarkGrass, could you explain just a little bit more?

I would, but for once i'd like to see someone else do the work, and not just me telling he/she how it can be done. Please, take no offense.

I will throw one more thing on the table though, concerning Bio1 saves:

OFFSET          BYTES           DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------
0X13C________224_________ BGM Table

What the above basically means is: You can change any ROOM's music to whatever you please, and if that's not what you're after, then it's nothing more than 224 Bytes you don't have to worry about.
