How to change the color of Leon's laser sight
By Bluebeak
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 \Documents\My Games\Capcom\RE4\.

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.

That's fun

I don't think so I'm pretty sure the harpoon crosshair is a static bitmap texture. It might require a mod to replace it. There are mods that replace hud elements like the button icons.

does anyone know if it's possible to change the color of the harpoon crosshair?

If you do not want a laser just type 0 on all of them (RGBA) Do not type 255 on A. Or else you can almost see your laser a little bit at least in the HD project.

For anyone using the Resident Evil 4 HD Project Mod:

Before you comment and question this person, I'll speak from experience!

If anyone is using/playing the RE4 HD Project overhaul and you suddenly find that your laser switched back, I know where you can change it again.

In your Steam Folder or for a more appropo File Explorer sequence - Steam > steamapps > common > Resident Evil 4 > Bin32

There is a file called "dinput8.ini", this is your NEW "Config.ini" for your previous unmodified version of RE4, HOWEVER , the Transparency of the Laser for this mod in particular does not work.

Be careful, and copy over your RGB Values and have fun again! I hope anyone and everyone searching for this finds this useful!
