Introducing the new (optional) Trainer section in the re4_tweaks config menu! This section allows you to modify various aspects of the game during gameplay, such as:

• Trainer patches: Enable invincibility, weak enemies, infinite ammo, disable enemy targeting, disable collision, free camera, disable enemy spawns, disable bodies from disappearing, allow exiting area without Ashley, and enable the unused DebugTrg function.
• Trainer overrides: Player speed override, game difficulty override, dynamic difficulty level override, enemy HP multiplier, and Ashley presence override.
• Weapon hotkeys: Switch weapons by pressing specific keys without needing to open the inventory first. By default, keys 1-5 are assigned to cycle through weapons in different categories. Alternatively, you can assign a specific weapon to a hotkey by highlighting it in the inventory and pressing the corresponding key.
• Inventory manager: View a list of all items in your inventory and edit certain values, such as stack count and weapon upgrade values. You can also add new items to your inventory by selecting them from a simple list, without needing to set up slots for each item separately. The inventory can also be exported to or imported from an easily editable JSON file.
• Hotkeys: Allows binding specific key presses to trigger certain trainer patches or functions.
• Flag editor: Tweak internal game flags, such as flags for debug features, level progression, and unlockables earned through gameplay.
• Em Manager: View a list of all "cEm" (enemy) instances in the current level and edit certain information about them. The info can also be undocked from the main re4_tweaks UI and made visible during gameplay.
• ESP: Display information about enemies on top of them during gameplay, without requiring you to open separate UI windows. It can be configured to display various pieces of information about the enemy, such as health bars, current AI routine, and other debug info. Can also draw information about all active enemies in range to the side of the screen.
• Area jump: Teleport to different rooms in the game (including certain test/debug levels that were accidentally included)
• Filter tool: Adjust post-processing effects in the game, mainly to help with testing improvements to these filters.
• Globals: Show a separate UI window that lists important internal information about the game, such as the current room number, dynamic difficulty points and level, current game routine, and current HP for both the player and Ashley. (May be useful for mod developers when debugging their mods.)

Optional:
https://github.com/nipkownix/re4_tweaks/releases/download/1.0/GC_demo_videos.zip
The original demo videos from the GameCube release of the game, now playable in RE4 UHD if present in the game's folder. To use it, just extract both "demo0_gc.sfd" and "demo1_gc.sfd" to "Steam\steamapps\common\Resident Evil 4\BIO4\movie", and make sure RestoreDemoVideos is enabled.
Note: As of right now, the RE4 HD Project does not provide HD versions of these videos.

Updating from HD Project:
HD Project 1.1 users can update to re4_tweaks 1.8 fine with no issues, simply extract all the contents of the 1.8 release ZIP into your Bin32 folder.
(make sure not to delete your existing re4_tweaks folder however, as that contains HDProject specific data which isn't included in re4_tweaks, simply allow your archiver to merge the new re4_tweaks folder on top of it & replace any conflicting files)
HD Project 1.0 users should update to HD Project 1.1 first before applying re4_tweaks 1.8.
