Costume mods?

[elfergador]

I've been trying to put some modded costumes in to the game but I don't get an option to change costumes in the game. I tried putting a battle/chara/XXX/mod file (where XXX is the character code) into all of the patch folders (no idea which to use now it is listed as ultra SFIV but is actually just SFIVae).

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

from the Streetmoderpage on Devianart.
USF4
1. First create folder "chara" inside this folder "\Program Files\CAPCOM\Super Street Fighter IV - Arcade Edition\patch_ae2\battle".
2. Then create folder for respective character, eg: CDY, KEN, MKT, RYU, etc (even GKX, RYX, YAN and YUN can be placed here too).
3. And finally just extract or copy the mod into above folder.
4. Run the game to see the result.

NOTE1: also works with stage, sound, hud or other mods (at least on USF4).

List of some special character folder:

1/Abel :"JHA" (SSFIVAE,USFIV) and "ABL" (in SF X TEKKEN)
2/Rufus:"CHB" (SSFIVAE,USFIV) and "RFS" (in SF X TEKKEN)
3/C.Viper: "AGL"
4/El Fuerte : "RIC"
5/Seth : "BOS"
6/Evil Ryu : RYX
7/Oni: GKX
8/Akuma : GKI
9/M.Bison(Dictator) : VEG
10/Balrog(boxer) : BSN
11/Vega(Claw) : BLR

Does it matter, if my capcom files somehow ended up in my documents instead of my program files?

The path directory is your steam directory, not the ones in my documents (except if you installed the game there or wherever you installed it...)
You don't actually choose your new costumes in-game, they replace some of the colors for that character. Check your folders' content, if for example you have a mod with a file that is SKR_01_02 + extension, it means the mod replaces Sakura's second color for her default skin, SKR_02_10 would mean it replaces the 10th color of alternate 1.
Sometimes the makers of the mods don't tell you what colors they replace, or sometimes it's just wrong, so just check it yourself. Also some mods don't work anymore (the Vanilla ones just need a conversion most of the time, some just don't work anymore or are glitched).
