The Coroner

[Cyber_Shinobi]

Good point Carnivol, the changes could just be the bug fixes.

Guess the only way we'll find out is if Cal plays it, can you stand the torture?


Oh and thanks Mark, i worked it out fine and have been extracting the videos individually using an Hex editor.

[MeganGrass]

I had serisouly thought that there were no more beta items in the original PSone version of BioHazard, but I was wrong. I was working on TMD models lately so fans can "skin" their own character for BioHazard when I came across something weird. Nothing fantastic or mind-blowing, just something never mentioned/shown before.

The ITEM_M2 folder contains alot of TMD models with their corresponding TIM texture. All the IVM files in this folder are used for 3D models in the Status Menu, however, the file "I35V.IVM" is definitely not used. I have never seen this model, nor have I heard it mentioned anywhere, so here it is.




Now the obvious, I wonder what/where these keys were used?

Not a problem....I wish I could have posted this earlier, but better late than never, eh? The US/PAL version of Resident Evil will be documented later.

:O Awesome! They sorta remind me of the Control Room key, but hmm..who knows.

Nice on that CPK file, I was looking for a way to get them out

[Alzaire]

I'm not sure exactly where the keys are used off the top of my head, but if you listen to beta/removed voice files off of RE1 PC version (not sure if they are in PS, ect, versions), you can hear the recordings of Rebecca and Chris and/or Barry and Jill (can't remember which or if it's both) talk about turning keys at the same time to open a door. These keys are probably the keys they are using. Don't have my PC version handy atm or I'd upload the voice clips. If nobody else does it first, I'll get them up within the next couple of days or so.

[Cyber_Shinobi]

Thanks Mark.

I managed to extract and convert them all to AVI files fine, and pretty quickly, by just using the Find Next and Mark/Extend To Mark functions.

I wanted to check whether there was any hidden movies in the PAL version i have(with the rumour of some early PAL editions containing the uncut videos) but theres not, not on my copy of the game anyway...

Btw, out of interest, can anyone tell me the file size of the MOVIE.CPK on the US and Japanese versions?

[MeganGrass]

UPDATE:

1 - Javascript "Toll Booth" has been removed. This was only implemented to make sure I wasn't wasting my own time by continuing progress on "The Coroner".

2 - ADX archive section is complete! The following ADX soundtracks are now available:
BioHazard 3 Nemesis
BioHazard 4
BioHazard Code: Veronica
BioHazard Code: Veronica Trial Edition
BioHazard Outbreak
BioHazard Outbreak File #2
BioHazard Gun Survivor 2 - Code: Veronica

3 - PSF (Playstation Sound Format) section is complete:
BioHazard 2 Beta
BioHazard 2 Dual Shock Version
BioHazard 2 Trial Edition

4 - Miscellaneous Utilities have been added. Head over to the appropriate section to see what's new.

Can anyone tell me the file size of the MOVIE.CPK on the US and Japanese versions?

USA - 238 MB (250,490,880 bytes)
JAP - 245 MB (257,513,472 bytes)

Mark, something odd about the PSF rips. Last time I downloaded them they seemed to play a tiny bit slower than on the psone/ps2.

Good news-this will be fixed very soon. Although it will require me to rerip every BH/RE PSF archive, it will well be worth it.

I coded yet another Generic PSF driver that will be released shortly to those in the PSF Rippers scene over at Yahoo. As mentioned before, my old Driver used either SS_TICKVSYNC or SS_TICK50 (PAL). My new Driver uses the High Quality SS_TICK240 function that not only corrects the playback timing, but highly increases the sound quality of the PSF rips.

Expect new/correct rips soon!

[Greko]

Very cool stuff Mark, very appreciated! Wish I had as much motivation and spare effort as you. I really need to work on some more models, but uni and other social aspects of life ;_;

[SlyBeast]

Nice work here.

[Dot50Cal]

Awesome Great work mark!

[MeganGrass]

UPDATE:

The PSF rerips are coming along great with the Generic PSF Driver created by myself and CaitSith2. The playback is now proper (not "too slow/fast"), and upgraded to much higher sound quality. Keep an eye out over the next few days for these almighty releases!

[MeganGrass]

The leaked English version of BioHazard 4 for the PC has already been hacked...

No teaser pics yet, but they will soon to follow.

It appears that the PC version of BH4 is a port of BOTH the GCN and PS2 versions', however there are "PC exclusive" formats used aswell.

Any and everything can be modded with the PC version:
Models can be imported into 3D modeling software.
Almost all textures are in Targa (.TGA) format, the rest are in the PS2 .TPL format.
ALL music/sound is in OGG Vorbis format.
Maps (stages) are 'ripped' directly from the GCN version (ie, they're from the GCN version).
Textures for the maps, items, and models are in TGA format.
Text is in [RAW] ARBG format, which is easily editible.

I could go on and on, but to make a long story short, the PC port of BH4 is easier than fuck to hack/mod.

[Dot50Cal]

Maps (stages) are 'ripped' directly from the GCN version (ie, they're from the GCN version).

Not so sure about that, look at the tree geometry here, its straight outta ps2.

[MeganGrass]

I stand corrected, however, after doing another check of the stages through HEX compare, they're mixed (?). In other words, they use parts of both the GCN and PS2 versions. This game is nothing more than a port of both the GCN and PS2 versions ingeniously combined into one...

[Dot50Cal]

Haha, well the audio is definitely higher quality than ps2, and Id say the textures are GCN on most surfaces
