DR2 to OTR model file swapping

[wesyes]

So I was messing around with exploring the Dead Rising 2 & OTR files. When I had a sudden urge to straight up overwrite the Cosplay suit with the Arthur suit from 2. So because it was a new outfit to OTR I entered the information found in the big.xml and items file I believe. Then I backed up and copied the arthur model files big and tex files. What I discovered was that if you simply rename the Dead Rising 2 files to override the DLC or say an existing costume in NPC.BIG. As long as they have the same number of model pieces then you can get a straight up replacement. Its quicker to replace the dlc files as there is no repacking required. I will post pics soon.

Please keep this in mind for the pictures below;
The Armor suit is replacing the TIR Wrestling Suit, The Armor helmet is replacing the cosplay helmet, and the boots are replacing the cosplay boots.





As you can see the eyebrows on the beard dont really sync well with any existing model I have tried, novelty glasses, fireman mustache, and hygiene mask. So I have taken out the beard for now.

Going to post some more pics of all the models i imported from DR2 later but so far this is what I have done.

Replaced the

TIR Wrestling Suit with Arthurs Armor
Cosplay boots with Arthurs Boots
Cosplay helmet with Arthurs Helmet
Fireman Cap with Chucks TIR motorcycle helmet
Cosplay Suit with Chucks TIR Motorcycle outfit(no gloves as cosplay loads none)

More to follow

So this weekend I was able to add Arthurs armor suit from dr2 as a new costume with dispensers in the security room. My only problem now is that i cant seem to get the box name to change. They still say novelty glasses, swat outfit, and swat helmet. Also there is still eyebrow clipping on arthurs beard for frank. What I was trying to do was get the beard to default to chucks face and take care of the clipping the lazy way... ;P

Now I have to do the retexture for my new megaman suit that Solidcal has helped TONS with!

Knowledge is power!

Of course the name on the dispencer will stay the same. You would have to edit the display name number in items.txt to change it. Though I think the the name of the arthur's armour got over written with something else in OTR.
