REFramework by praydog

Hi! I'm one of the programming contributors on praydog's REFramework and I'm releasing this mod here to alleviate people needing multiple mods to get FOV slider/Vignette disabler/Freecam/Flashlight & many other features into their game. This mod includes a single DLL file that you place in your games base directory and will spawn a menu when you press Insert while in-game. Once in said menu you're free to configure the mod features all you want!

If you need help using then please post it on this nexus mods page.

If you found a bug with the mod then please submit issues to the GitHub links below.

  • []VR with full motion controller support

    []FOV & Aiming FOV sliders

    []Disable vignette & Vignette brightness slider

    []Flashlight toggle w/ Zone fixes

    []Freecam with many features: Lock Freecam position, lock character position, rotation & speed modifiers

    []Scene Timescale modifier (Great for taking in-game screenshots!)

    []Performance/Stutter fixes (killing enemies, taking damage, etc...) & Crash fixes

Installation

  • []Download the mod ZIP file.

    []Extract "dinput8.dll" to your "Resident Evil Village BIOHAZARD VILLAGE" folder (i.e "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resident Evil Village BIOHAZARD VILLAGE").

    []Launch your game and press your Insert key to open the menu.

You can also modify the "re2_fw_config.txt" configuration file if needed. This gets created at run-time once you load your game and you can delete it (with your game closed!) to restore the mod to it's default configuration.
