So this is an idea I came up with yesterday while brainstorming ideas for modding Dead Rising 2, I want something I have a passion for (Resident Evil) So I will stay interested in the project.

Here is what my goal is...
I want a mix of Re4, and the original RE games.

LIST OF THINGS TO DO/LEARN:
1.Make the camera so it's 100% of the time over the shoulder, just like Re4/Re5.

2. Make the environment's darker. Pretty dark.. not pitch dark. I also want the Flash Light to be a major part of seeing around good.

3. Learn how to Lock doors, and to play keys around the stages that you need to find to open the doors. (<-- MAJOR)

4. Remove the Mission timers altogether.

5. Along with the camera tweak, I want to make the game much, much more oriented towards Guns, instead of Melee weapons.

6. Is it possible to make Reloading possible on guns? Any way to make find-able ammo for guns?

7. Greatly limit inventory space, down to max of 5 slots so players have to make smart choices on what they carry (just like old REgames)

There may be more things Im just not thinking of at the moment.

If ANYBODY can help me with ANYTHING listed above, that'd be really great.

Also, Please note, this is mostly a Brainstorm idea. If there is to many problems, or to few things can be done, then it won't feel like Re enough so I wouldn't want to dump aton of time into it.

Let's see if we can make this happen!!

Let's see if we can make this happen!!

1. Not sure about it someone else might be able to answer this better.

2. Could play around with .csv files which are the light files for each stage but people should be able to overcome this by increasing their brightness if I am not mistaken.

3. Here is code from a locked underground door in royal before you get the key.


cDoorPlacement UndergroundDoor2
{
	AudioEnvVolume = "SewerAccess_Door2"
	InitialState = "0"
	ItemName = "door_standardknob"
	KeyItem = "85017"
	Location = "-141.569,-1.578,-63.527"
	LockedMessage = "50407"
	Rotation = "0,0.3828,0,0.9238"
}

As you can see KeyItem = "85017" is the key required for the door. If you go into items.txt and look for keyItemID = "85017" you find


cKeyItem Key_undergroundkey
{
	AssetFilename = "keysingle"
	CollidableQuality = "0"
	CollisionType = "3"
	DisplayName = "85017"
	DR2 = "true"
	InteractDistance = "1.2"
	KeyItemID = "85017"
	MergedFilename = "data/dynamicprops/SingleKey"
	MergedFileNotUsed = "false"
	RestrictedByRegion = "false"
	UnlimitedDurability = "true"
}

If I am not mistaken new key items should be able to be made with unique ID's which you could then assign to doors

4. You could make the duration of each mission an indefinite amount of time so that it seems it has no timer.

5. Not sure exactly what you mean for this one.

6. Don't think picking up ammo will be possible. From what it sounds is that you would like to have limited weapons this is a problem that shouldn't be to hard to overcome with your mod. The problem being if you spawn an item through a level.txt it will spawn every time you load up that area. You can overcome this the way it was done in Infinity Mode with spawning a reward for killing a boss or something since I know RE had bosses back when I played XD

7. Hmmm might be possible you would have to figure out how inventory slots are assigned and then have it get limited at your desired amount.

1. as mentioned in chat, camera.txt is probably the solution to this one.

2. lighting is solved: Lighting in the game Problem is the flashlight goes dim too, we have no idea how to change this. From what I have seen about how light works, I don't think it is possible to change.

3. unlock every door, acquire every key Everything the community knows about doors.

4. Remove the Mission timers altogether. I learned how to do this while help create infinity mode.

5. want to make the game much, much more oriented towards Guns, instead of Melee weapons. just place more guns -- easy. keep in mind that case west is more gun oriented with the same game engine.

6. Is it possible to make Reloading possible on guns? Any way to make find-able ammo for guns? I dont know how this would be done either.

7. Greatly limit inventory space, down to max of 5 slots so players have to make smart choices on what they carry (just like old REgames) you start out with only 4 inventory slots, if you can keep chuck at level one. you could easily up his stats in all other area, but there would be no leveling up. We don't currently understand much about leveling up.

6.) There is a line in items.txt: RequiresReload = "true", but it is only for the PostmanShotgun and MilitiaSniperrifle, all other guns have "false". So I suppose all it does is add a cooldown, so the NPCs won't instakill you.

I didn't find any reference on that cooldown, though. "IsAutomatic" doesn't seem to intefere with the RequiresReload. But maybe you can find something more concerning that.

Good luck with your mod.
