Here's how to utilize the mod tool that is now available for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered on PC.
Any asset in the game's asset archives can be extracted and changed using the Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered PC mod tools. The foundation for both developing and installing mods is having a straightforward mod file format, and Nexus mods user jedijosh920's program provides precisely that.
How to yse the mod tool for Spider-Man Remastered
Installation
- Extract ALL the tool files to any folder.
- Use “File” -> “Select Asset Archives Folder…” and select the “asset_archives” folder inside your game directory.
- On first use, the mod tool will issue a warning and ask you to convert your asset archives. For this, use “Tools” -> “Convert Asset Archives”, and wait a few minutes to allow the game to be compatible with modding.
- Browse the asset archives, and extract or replace any game asset you like.
- Some assets aren’t named and will, therefore, need to be hashed in the “AssetHashes.txt” folder before being compatible.
Extracting/Replacing Assets
- Right click on an asset on the side files view, and select extract or replace.
- Once an asset is extracted, it will be a decompressed game file, whether it be a model, texture, actor, etc.
- Use other tools or programs to modify extracted assets, or manually hex edit them if you’re aware of the process.
- Re-import/replace the modified asset. Alternatively, asset that has the same “Asset Type” can also be swapped.
Note: In future updates, the tool will be able to process more assets on its own, without the need for external programs.
Creating/Installing Mods
- When replacing an asset with another, it will be added to the “Save/Create Mod” modified files queue.
- The asset is not replaced in the files until you create a mod file (“.smpcmod”) for it, and use “Install Mod”.
- Mod thumbnails can be added and metadata, such as Title, Author, and Description can be changed.
It is advised that users of this mod make a "Install" mod file that contains modified files and a "Uninstall" mod file that contains backup data.
