In this tutorial i will teach on how to edit TEXTURES!
The format of the textures used in RE4 is .TGA , you will need a software that open this file , i recommend Photoshop CS6 since it's the one i'm using in this tut.
To extract textures you need a software called GCA Extractor(click the name to download)
Now follow my steps!
1-Put gca_e.exe on your RE4 main folder.
2-Rename "xfile.dat" to "xfile.gca" and double click it!
(on xfile.dat characters and weapons are located)
3-After opening this is what you will see.
4-I want you to click "Create Folder from Arch.." and "Output To Folder" make sure extract xfile.gca to your desktop!
5-Click "OK" and it will extract!
6-Now open the "xfile" folder on your desktop , this is what you will see!
7-Double click the "em" folder and then open the "pl0b" folder , we will give a new color to Ada's haircut.
(i have a LIST on my forum explaining which folder is which char)
After opening the pl0b folder you will see the textures!
8-Double click the "eida_hair.tga" to open on your software of choice.
As you can see it's really small, let's paint it pink!
9-Save it as .TGA! and move the folder to your RE4 main folder to see the results.
It should look like this on your folder
And this is the result ingame!
Here is an example of what i did following this steps!
Download my RESOURCES PACK for tattoos/blood that you can add to a char!
For example , adding tattoos is pretty simple , just open "o_ada_mune.tga" which is her arm/shoulder , drag and drop a tattoo and then save it , here is the result!
Have a nice day!
