Sorry if it seems stilted in some way.



Anyway, what you need are





A copy of Resident Evil Revelations 2 on PC (Steam or any other shop)

RE Remaster Text Loader (Version 2.0 or 4.5)

ARCTool (with the PC batch file)

Lots of Time

Lots of Patience



1. First, you extract ARCTool in a directory you plan on working from, and also extract the PC batch files into the same directory



2. Next you go to your \RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS 2

ativePCNext\arc\DX9NEXT\ Directory and copy the Msg_*X*.arc you want to edit (*X* means any language such as Msg_eng.arc for English) Then paste it into the directory with ARCTool



3. Thirdly you drag the Msg_*X*.arc onto the pc-rev2.bat file in order to extract everything to a directory with the same name. Once that is done you should have a bunch of .gmd files in the folder. .GMD files are text files that can be opened with the RE Remaster Text Loader. Remember to delete the Msg_*x*.arc file after you extracted it. (REMEMBER TO BACK UP YOUR FOLDER BEFORE EDITING)



4. Open the RE Remaster Text Loader and use it to view any of the .gmd's you wish to modify. Once done, be 100% sure to save the changes to the exact file you edited.



5. Finally, Drag the folder back onto the pc-rev2.bat file in order to repackage it into an arc file with the changes, then copy that arc file to \RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS 2

ativePCNext\arc\DX9NEXT\ and click yes to overwrite the original (or just rename the original)



6. The changes you made should now show up in game!
