Load PAK mods and loose file replacements without repacking game archives. Drop files into the game directory and REFramework handles the rest.
REFramework intercepts the engine’s file system to load modded PAK archives and loose file replacements. No need to repack or modify original game archives – just drop your PAK files or replacement assets into the game directory.
This is the foundation for the RE Engine modding scene. Texture swaps, model replacements, sound mods, and more all work through this system.
Full scripting API with access to the RE Engine's IL2CPP type system. Hook functions, traverse objects, read/write properties, and build custom ImGui interfaces.
A comprehensive Lua API with full access to the RE Engine’s managed type system. Hook into any managed method, traverse managed objects, read and write properties, call engine functions, and build custom ImGui interfaces – all from Lua scripts.
Includes callbacks for frame rendering, UI drawing, application entry points, GUI element drawing, and more. Scripts can persist settings via JSON and interact with each other through a custom event system.
Scripts auto-load from reframework/autorun or can be loaded manually via the ScriptRunner menu.
Write mods in C# with typed proxies, method hooks, and full access to the managed runtime. Hot-reload on save.
A .NET scripting layer that compiles and hot-reloads C# scripts at runtime. Provides typed proxy generation for RE Engine types, method hooking with pre/post callbacks, and direct access to managed objects.
Supports attributes for hooking, field injection, and automatic registration. Benchmarks show near-native performance for most operations.
Native DLL plugins with access to SDK callbacks including present, engine tick, stereo rendering, and input state.
A native C/C++ plugin API with access to dozens of callbacks including present, device reset, engine tick, stereo view offset, and XInput state. Plugins can render custom ImGui UI, manipulate VR poses, and interact with the full RE Engine object system.
Drop .dll files into reframework/plugins to load them. Version enforcement prevents incompatible plugins from crashing.
Generic 6DOF VR for all supported RE Engine games. Motion controls for RE2, RE3, RE7, and RE8.
Full stereoscopic 3D rendering with 6 Degrees of Freedom head tracking. Supports both OpenVR and OpenXR runtimes.
Game-specific motion control support for Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil 7, and Resident Evil Village with hand-tracked weapon aiming and interaction.
Includes comfort options like roomscale movement and world scale adjustment.
A live in-game tool for browsing singletons, types, fields, and methods across the entire RE Engine type database.
Inspect and edit the game's behavior trees and finite state machines in real time.
Play RE2 and RE3 in first person with full camera override.
Detach the camera and fly freely through any scene. Available in all supported games.
Speed up or slow down game time. Available in all supported games.
Adjust the field of view on the fly. Available in all supported games.
