Dead Rising 4 - Modding Tools (Download)

[Sir Kane]

Version 2.1 release of tools for Dead Rising 4.

Tools available:

DR4BinTool	Used to modify the bin files containing game definition data
DR4Tex	Convert textures to DDS (they use some DX10+ specific formats for a lot of the textures, but most icons and stuff should open fine in Photoshop or another viewer)
DR4Extract	Extracts big/tex/mdl files

Version 1 changes:

• Initial release

Version 2 changes:

• DR4BinTool now properly skips the BOM in input text files
• Added DR4Tex
• Added DR4Extract
• Added support for hash.txt, which is used to map hashes to strings

Version 2.1 changes:

• Fixed outdated DR4BinTool binary

Version 2.1 download

This may contain bugs, so make sure to back your files up.

Will update as I create additional tools or updates.

Requires the VC2015 redistributables found here

Most of the names for flags and such are no longer present in Deadrising 4 (they've been replaced by hashes, meaning faster code, but virtually no way of retrieving them).

We need a whole zombie-enthusiastic slaughtering army to search every nook and cranny. I wish more people were aware of the awesomeness happening here. No but seriously, that is really a let down. The order of Medieval Town, we should grant Sir Kane kingship to our goddamn army to search through large amounts of codes and finding what was left behind (or straight up removed...all of this would help). Sir Kane, you are a kickass mother fucka. I think it's unfair to you, with what like being a one armed army... unless you are Ash Williams of course. www4.pictures.zimbio.com/mp/RS0Nk-RHX2ex.gif look out for those Kandarian demons they nasty.

while I would like to...I probably would have no way of finding certain things out. Although from my slightly rushed inspections, I couldn't find the stats relating to the exo suit or the crates you get them from.

[jacktheripper]

I would like to mention something. It seems certain bins that could be turned into text files can't be changed back into bin files. Examples at the top of my head are the gamemodes.bin and the tool_datafiles.bin. This is a problem cause I found a bunch of factors for redeeming dlc and wanted to see what happened with the game if I changed all the default settings to true...but I can't cause the Bin Tool can't put them back together. I'm also sure it isn't cause I modded them. I never modded the tool_datafiles bin and yet the text file still refuses to go back together.

Seems I'm a bit late to the party, but congratulations Sir Kane, I'll be installing Dead Rising 4 right away, from my boxed copy.

[djlarryt]

Way to go Kane. Nice work once again.

[Svendr]

Thank you Sir Kane. Please oan anyone help me, I cannot convert Tex files to DDS files. I am putting DR4tex legs_mayor_m0.tex legs_mayor_m0.dds & I get an error message that the file failed to convert.

[wesyes]

I too have not managed to get the DR4Tex to work. Thoughts?

really? That's weird. Triston and I had the same issue O.O but that was back when the tools just came out with no updates. I don't know why you're having that issue.

[Faaw]

not working anymore (at least with latest DR4 update)

Happen for every coregameplay_bulk files




I didnt edited anything in the .txt file, just unpack -> repack and I get error

[ratchet034]
