It's a small mod that primarily changes all weapon names to their real counterparts. It also changes descriptions, alongside changing other things such as the name of ammo, weapon parts, items, valuables etc.
What have you changed?
Changes were made to names and descriptions of Weapons, Ammo, and Weapon Parts. Supports all modes of RE4. With the Zenny Update this list expanded to cover all Valuable Treasures you can find in RE4, all Healing Items (yes including the eggs and fish), support for the unlock screens, Bottle Caps, Merchant's upgrade menu, and even the costume select screen. As well revising some grammar, and minor qol fixes here and there from both 1.0 and vanilla RE4. For example, the Merchant when referring to Leon or Ada will have "Stranger" being capitalized. A full list of changes can be checked in the changelogs, or within the Documentation folder included with the mod. It's a big list, and to be honest, it's more fun seeing the changes yourself in-game!
Why is it called Classic Edition?
I know the name looks like a mouthful, but this is taking in consideration I'll likely make a version of the mod for REmake 4. Never hurts to pre-emptively plan things out for possible projects lol. Because I also made a version of it for the 2023 Remake of RE4, you can check the link out at the top of this page!
I have found a weird bug/glitch with the mod! What do I do?
First, breath slowly, don't panic. Secondly, you're free to post a bug report here on the mod page, post a comment with your issue.
There are a lot of Real Weapon Name mods for RE4 already, any reason this one is different?
Yeah. Mainly because it tackles more than just simply changing names. Plus, I wanted things to be more accurate. A lot of people misidentify the weapons of RE4, so I kinda wanted to just set the record straight. And as mentioned, it's not just weapons that are changed, but much much more. c: Besides, I always am looking for way to expand my mods around.
