Yes,
when you swapped the model you need to swap the animations too.
For example, there's a trainer model called file_005.BCH
you need to swap this model and all the files afterwards until you reach BCH again.
So if file_25.BCH is Brendan, you swap _26.bin _27.bin _28.bin _29.bin but not _30.BCH.

ALSO, guys does anyone have a model directory listing for every model? If not, would anyone be interested in one?

I can't figure out how to extract the textures using Ohana. Neither it or Rebirth will give me the option to extract or export the textures. Ohana Rebirth won't open anything other than a BCH file and the original opens the Pokemon models but won't export their textures.

Hi this is my first tutorial I might not be clear so post a comment if you don't understand ^^.

Required:
Braindump
Gimp or some other program with colormap
Hans (Homebrew app, comes w/ Ninjahax 2.5)
HxD (google it)
Pack (extract the rar. with Winwar)
Ohana3ds
GarcTools (install GARCTools and GARC Unpacker)
A REAL COPY OF POKEMON ORAS, DIGITAL OR A CARTRIDGE
Homebrew 2.5

Romfs Location:

OW models = a/0/2/1
In-Battle models = a/1/3/3
Map models = a/0/3/9
Map Textures = a/0/1/4

Steps:
1. Download braindump and put it in the 3ds folder on your SD card. Launch homebrew and run braindump. It should extract the exefs and romfs from Pokemon ORAS. Make sure to have enough space on your SD card. The exefs and romfs take about 2 GB.

2. Once it's done with the extraction, turn off your 3ds and insert your SD card into your computer.

3. You should find the romfs and exefs files, which should be in this 18 character folder at the root of the SD card.

4. Now with the pack go to Pack English v3.6--->Pack Hack--->RomFS extractor. It should take some time for it to extract it. You probably want to move the 18 character folder with the exefs and the romfs bin from your SD card to your computer if you have no more space.

5. Once that's done a "romfs_" folder should have been created in the 18 character folder. Open up GARC Unpacker and extract whatever your editing, in this case the OW models. So click "Open" and go to a/0/2/1 and extract. The "Auto Extract on DragDrop" and "Only Un/Decompressed Files" should be ticked off. Then press "Go" and wait.

6. There should be a folder now in a/0/2/1 that was created "1". Open up Ohana3ds, click "Open" and go select a bin file in it. Press the left and right arrow keys to move to another file in the same folder.

Note: (ORAS) There are two May/Brendan models that have a snorkeler mask. It is suggested to use main characters seen throughout the story.
171/314: May
172/315: Brendan
173: Contest May
174: Contest Brendan
316: Bicycle May
317: Bicycle Brendan

Recolor:
Once you found the Brendan/May model go to Textures and extract all.Open up your Gimp or program with colormap. In gimp open up the extracted images and go to Image-->Mode--->Indexed. Then just click Convert with "Generate Optimum palette". Colors-->Map-->Set colormap. Then just edit the colors. Make sure you have 255 colors in the end product of the texture. In Ohana3ds, click import and import the new recolored texture and click save.

Model Swap:
Just find the file you want to play as. For example, Wally which would be file 181. I would just go to the "1" folder in a/0/2/1 and find file 181 and change its number to 172 to overwrite the Brendan file.

7. Once you are done editing, go to GARCTool. Click "Open Folder" and got to a/0/2/1. Then click "Process". #_.garc should have been created. Delete the file that has the same # as #_.garc and rename #_.garc to #. So 3._garc would be renamed to 3 replacing the old one

8. Once thats done, go to the pack-->pack hack-->RomFS Builder. Open up and find the romfs_ folder and press go.

9. Bare with me, it's almost done! Now open up HxD and open the romfs file that was rebuilt. On the left side it should say "Offset (h)". Scroll down till you see FF0 under the "Offset (h)". Highlight that row and highlight till you reach the top, 000. Delete all those offsets. Save the romfs. Make a "hans" folder in the root of the SD card. Place the new romfs file there. Rename you rom based off the 8 characters on the right side of the 18 character folder. Must be all caps.

Then remove your SD card from your computer and put it in your 3ds.

10. Run homebrew and click hans. Run the Pokemon ORAS app.
Region, Language, FW, Clock are optional
Code -> SD: NO
Romfs -> SD: YES
Save configuration: Optional

Click OK and volia you are playing a romhack.

I can't find a program that can edit Trainer model's obj. (I'm trying to change Brenden's hat into something else) Is there a good, easy program to do that?

God damn back up your stuff. Always have a complete copy of the unedited romfs.
Of course I backed it up. I backed it up on a spare SD card, so I won't have to take up so much space on my desktop. And in the backed up SD card everything is not extracted so I could be a pain to find. But I did.

Hey I have been playing with my Alpha Sapphire Romfs and I wanted to try and edit some models. So... I got Ohana3ds and Garc tools (Garc tool and Unpacker)
I extracted a/0/2/1. and it made a/0/2/1_ and inside that was a bunch of .bin files. I tried to open 171.bin (May) and it says its not a model? What did i do wrong?
