Have you used this method for RE4R? I'm almost done with my mod but I can't seem to get my custom materials working, I made sure the objects are named correctly inside Blender and I used "-rewrite" when exporting back to a .mesh file and everything seems fine except for the material. In-game I get an orange checkerboard texture.

[@flopityflips]

Yes this method applies to most RE Engine games (I don't have SF6 or MHR so I haven't tried with those but it should be similar). The black and orange checkerboard usually means there's a mismatch with the number of materials in your MDF and your mesh. You can check the mesh in Noesis under Tools>Data Viewer and then check Models>Meshes. Then you can use the MDF manager to make sure the materials in the MDF and mesh match. If you have other issues, please ask in the RE Engine modding discord as you can send pictures there to show your exact process and what's happening.

Oh, alright thanks. I've already talked some guye on another discord server and he gave me a version of the MDF manager which doesn't crash the game as soon as you edit the file. There should really be some kind of central location where all necessary and relevant modding tools are available for each game but oh well.

@@neroangelo1464 my mdf is crashing the game, wich version did you use?

[@robyganon]

Hello. Does anyone know how can I get to work again MDF manager? When I click on the installer a message pops up saying: "to run this application you must install .NET. Would you like to download it now?" And then even if I click yes or no nothing happens and the software doesn't boot anymore. Please help someone, please.

the runtimeconfig says .net 5.0. then it works :)

[@leoalvarez9391]

@@k0ffa i dont get it, how can i fix it ?

[@k0ffa]

@@leoalvarez9391 i only vaguely remember, but i think the problem was the missing framework and in the runtimeconfig file it said it is using ":NET 5.0" ... just google ".NET 5.0 download" and install the runtime ... maybe desktop runtime ... it don't hurt to install both i think :D

Hey thanks for the tutorial!

[@beanpole_brando]

does this happen to work with street fighter maybe

[@flopityflips]

should work with sf6. i dont know if there's an updated version of the mdf manager for it so if thats the case youd have to use 010 editor and the mdf template to edit the mdfs

[@anonprime.8276]

Is this the same as adding an add-on?

[@Griscasio]
