Swapping NPCs in Shenmue 2 for Shenmue Collection

Hi everyone.

Recently, I was messing around with swapping character models in Shenmue 2 (on the Xbox) but I cant seem to find the folder with the right HUMANS file that will control which characters show up in fighting minigames in the Shenmue Collection Menu.

I found the 4 scene folders, each with their respective HUMANS co-files, but none of them swap the fighter in the Collection minigames.

Is there another scene folder? Or is this not controlled the same way as in-game NPCs are?

Thanks so much.

If it is the Collection, then it should be in Disc 4, at least that'll be in Sega Dreamcast.

Also, try the .BIN files inside SCENE/04/NPC. Another option would be searching at the folders inside SCENE/04 that are duplicated from the other discs. Maybe inside there's bad guys.

Thanks for the reply, I will look into that.

I have a feel that the collection menu might be hardcoded. Everything I looked into all points to that sort of behavior.

Ill update this thread with my results.

thanks

The Shenmue Collection menu seems to be at SCENE\04\OMAK\OMAK.EV1 That's where, at least, I found the subtitles in order to translate them. The graphics should be at the same folder, but a different file.
