Third-Person OTS Script

Description

This script will force the game's camera from its first person view to one that is behind the player character and to the side, giving the game a bit of a closer feel to the over-the-shoulder entries in the series.

Barring some animation jank, it is completely functional for both the main game and DLCs. There are several options available to make adjustments to how the camera's positioning is handled, along with many options for control over different screen effects.

The script also includes options to automatically disable third person in some situations that may be better suited to first person. It can also be assigned hotkeys to toggle manually third person mode during game play.

Instructions

Install cheat engine and any needed thirdperson player character model mods (such as Ethan and Mia for the main game) to use with the script. Run both the game and the script, attach the script to "RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard" with the top-left flashing box in Cheat Engine, and then check the box beside "Start Thirdperson Script".

A video tutorial on both using the script and installing these mods can be found here. Note that some links used in the video may have been changed since.

For the latest RT (Ray Tracing) version on Steam, I'd recommend using AfroJackX's RT Placeholder Models (the ones under "Main files"). Note that some of the download links do not include certain characters such as those in DLCs. Please refer to each of the download descriptions to know which characters the files are modding.

For the old DX11 (DirectX 11) version (Steam Beta or 2019), I'd recommend alphaZomega/ZombieAli's Ethan with Head along with AfroJackX's non-RT Placeholder Models (the ones under "Optional files").

To use a model replacement, install FluffyQuack's Mod Manager, select Resident Evil 7, and then drop the model's .rar file in the manager's Games\RE7\Mods folder.

Complementary Mods

AfroJackX's Chris Redfield OTS Aiming Placeholders can be used for the Not A Hero DLC to make Chris' animations of his handgun and shotgun a bit cleaner.

ZombieAli's RE2 Leon over Ethan replacement model is another option available for Ethan.

praydog's REFramework can be used to fix ultrawide resolutions.

For repeat playthroughs, alphaZomega's RE7 Cutscene Skipper can be used to quickly skip major cutscenes. To save even more time, Ev3rgr33n's Skip Intro Movies, D3scole's Phone call skipper, and ChimiChamo's Removed Intro Driving Cutscene can also be used with it.

HSete's Auto Injector can be used to automatically launch and activate the script when the game starts.

Troubleshooting

• []After trying to click the box beside "Start Thirdperson Script", if nothing happens after a few seconds, right click on the text.[/]

  []If at the top of the context menu the error message says "The array of byte named ... could not be found", then the script is likely not compatible with your game. This error could be caused by such things as the game not being the correct version to go with the downloaded script, being a regional version such as the Japanese/Korean censored RE7, or the game itself having been updated since the last script release.[/]

  []If the error message says "module not found:re7.exe", it means cheat engine is not attached to the game's executable. Use the flashing box button at the top left to do so.[/]

  []Make sure to use the latest version of cheat engine (to ensure the script's syntax is read properly).[/]

  [*]If custom models are not appearing in-game, be sure that the right version is being used. New RT models and old DX11 models are not interchangeable. Fluffy's manager should display a warning if trying to activate incompatible m
