Re4r Text tool

Hello! I wanted to introduce you to a text editing tool for (essentially) all RE Engine games! (For now is just Re4r and Re2r)

It's a very basic and simple executable to use!

Rengine msg tool

Virustotal Scan

The Virus-total scan, it has 2 detection's but they are false positives.

It was based on the .bat file from YouTuber TrainDozer (link to the specific video: https://youtu.be/TnHQVo9ZV8s). I made some changes to make process easier!

I'll give a brief explanation of how text modding works for re4r and how to use the program but the process is the same for re2r, just the folders are a bit different.

After extracting the files (if you're familiar with modding, I believe you already have all the game files extracted), inside the _Chainsaw (or_Mercenaries) folder there will be a message folder (valid for all RE Engine games), inside it will be other folders with all the game's text files and their languages.

The files will be in . 22 extension and compressed within these files will be all the languages that the game itself is translated into.

All you need to do is place the program and the .bat file inside the folder where you want to extract the texts and open the .bat file.

After that, select the first option and type the language you want to

extract (e.g., en). The program will extract the text in the language

you chose from all the files inside the folder.

After that, simply open the text files and edit what you want and save (Remember the file you edited, you will only need to copy that one.)

Open the .bat file again and now choose the second option and select the language you want to import the files into.

Now the program will create new edited files with the . NEW extension.

After that, copy these files to another folder and edit them by removing the .new extension from the end, and you're done! You have your edited text file; you just need to create the folders normally, like any other mod, and place the new files inside.

- Download the .bat file and REngine_msg_tool.exe

- Open the "Message" folder inside the game directory

- Place the files inside the folder where you want to extract the text

- Open the .bat file, select the first option and the language

- After extracting the files, open the text file and edit what you want

- Save everything and open the .bat file again and select the second option and also the language.

- Take the . NEW files you edited and create the mod folder exactly as it is originally (natives\STM\Chainsaw\Message\...)

- Drop them inside the folder and remove the . NEW

- Done, your text mod is finished!
