How to change the color of Leon’s laser sight

Overview

Patch 1.0.6 added functionality to the game that allows you to change the color of Leon’s laser sight. This was originally enabled via a mod for the original PC release, but now is available via a simple .ini change.

Instructions

To find your RE4 folder go to DocumentsMy GamesCapcomRE4.

There you will find two files. Config.ini and usr_input.ini

Open Config.ini in Notepad, and at the bottom you’ll see a variety of values.

laserR 255
laserG 0
laserB 0
laserA -1

These are all RGB values. LaserR refers to the color Red, LaserG refers to the color Green, and LaserB refers to the color Blue. Laser A refers to the transparency, or how bright the laser is. By default, red is set to 255 and transparency to -1. Note: These variables will not be present in the config.ini file before the 1.0.6 patch. In order to make them appear, simply edit graphic settings, return to main menu, and close the game. Or alternatively add the variables to the .ini yourself.

Note that setting the transparency to -1 will always set it to red. If you wish to change the color, you must also change the transparency.

You may edit these values however you want, remember to save after editing. These settings also apply for all other playable characters (IE: Ada, HUNK, Wesker, etc) and all of the player’s weapons. For a list of RGB values for colors, there’s a handy site right here.
