How to Extract and Modify Resident Evil 5 Models
Resident Evil 5 is a survival horror game that was released in 2009 for various platforms, including PC. The game features many different characters, enemies, weapons, and environments that are stored in *.arc files. These files contain model information, such as meshes, textures, animations, and sounds.
If you want to extract and modify these models, you will need a tool called S100 Arczip. This is a program that can unpack and repack *.arc files for Resident Evil 5 PC. You can download it from this link [^1^]. You will also need a hex editor, such as HxD, and a 3D modeling software, such as Blender.
To use S100 Arczip, you need to follow these steps:
Resident Evil 5 S100 Arczip
Copy the *.arc file that you want to extract to the same folder as S100 Arczip.exe.
Run S100 Arczip.exe and type the name of the *.arc file without the extension. For example, if you want to extract uPl00ChrisNormal.arc, type uPl00ChrisNormal.
Press Enter and wait for the program to finish. It will create a folder with the same name as the *.arc file and extract its contents.
Open the folder and find the *.mod file that contains the model data. For example, uPl00ChrisNormal.mod.
Open the *.mod file with a hex editor and look for the offset where the model data starts. You can use this list [^1^] as a reference. For example, for uPl00ChrisNormal.mod, the offset is 0x0000C000.
Select all the data from that offset to the end of the file and copy it to a new file. Save it with a *.smd extension. For example, uPl00ChrisNormal.smd.
Import the *.smd file into your 3D modeling software and edit it as you wish. You can also import the textures from the *.tex files in the same folder.
Export your modified model as a *.smd file with the same name as before. For example, uPl00ChrisNormal.smd.
Open your original *.mod file with a hex editor and delete all the data from the offset where the model data starts to the end of the file.
Append your modified *.smd file to your original *.mod file and save it.
Run S100 Arczip.exe again and type \"r\" followed by the name of the folder that contains your modified files. For example, r uPl00ChrisNormal.
Press Enter and wait for the program to finish. It will create a new *.arc file with your modified files.
Copy your new *.arc file to your Resident Evil 5 installation folder and replace the original one. Make sure to backup your original files before doing this.
