📖 Detailed Feature Guide

Mod Engine

The mod works by hooking into the game's character system and replacing assets in real-time. It uses a combination of:

  • Memory Patching: Overwrites in-memory character data.
  • Resource Replacement: Replaces model and texture files.
  • UI Hooking: Intercepts and modifies the character selection screen.

Character Switching

The mod integrates seamlessly with the game's character selection:

  • In-Game: Simply select Leon S. Kennedy from the survivor roster.
  • Config File: Edit config.ini in the game directory to adjust his stats.

File Structure

The mod's core components work together to provide a seamless experience:

  • Setup.exe: The installer/uninstaller.
  • core.dll: Contains the character engine and core logic.
  • lib.dll: Holds character-specific data and resources.
  • mpclient.dll: Handles additional client-side functionality.
  • config.ini: User-configurable settings.
  • checksum.md5: Verifies file integrity.
