Easy Modding Of Dead Rising 2 On PS3
 

Recently i have been playing about with game intro's and i really wanted to add a custom one to Dead Rising 2, the problem was, i couldnt find the into file, it wasnt in the small amount ok .bik files and the only files that were left were .big, so i went on my search for a .big tool, which brought me to this site and tool, the site is for PC mods for Dead Rising 2, visit here to download.

So i grabbed the tool and decided too look around the site at the various mods they had, i found this mod, which lets you have several weapons, in the safe house were you first enter, these include:
Spitballgun
FireSpitter
BFG
Super-BFG
Snowball Cannon
Katana Sword
RocketLauncher -
FireWorks
Amongst others So this confirms that you can use already made PC mods on your PS3 version of Dead Rising 2 :)

So after i tried the mod successfully on my PS3, i went back to searching for the intro video and started unpacking all the folders, i will provide a tutorial on how to do that.

First you will need the program i asked you to download at the top of this post: You then need to find the "Data" folder in your game, this holds all the .bik and .big files, make sure to make a back up of that folder. Once you have the program downloaded, right click on a .big file, select properties, find "opens with", select "change", scroll until you find "Gibbed.DeadRising2.Unpack.exe", select that, then apply, now all you will have to do, is double click the .big and it will automatically unpack the file, when you have finished what you have to do in that folder, drag the folder to where you have "Gibbed.DeadRising2.Pack.exe" and that will pack the folder into a usable .big. Here is a video for easy showing you how.

Ok so you want to try a few mod's, i have made a video showing you exactly how to do it, make sure you watch it in HD, what you will need is this mod and this mod.

I guess the only thing for me to do is show you a video of the mod's in action on the PS3:

i just want unlimited time on missions and ill be happy :)

Nice find, i wonder if i can put l4ds Zoey or Louis in there?

i've coded a tool to translate this game, there is a local translation team already on the job.

The good thing is that my tool works on the three versions of the game (PC, XBOX 360, PS3).

You can skin the characters, so yes it should be possible.



The tool above works on all three versions as well, it doesn't have a pretty GUI, but it works all the same.

I know. Time flys when your hacking, slashing and batting away on those zombies. lol

Is it possible to change money or health amount

I completed it for the first time yesterday, just going to go on a zombie killing spree now :D


It should be, ill look later.

im looking at the safe house txt file right now trying to figure out how to make the durability higher

denero: look in items text file for durability
