If you don't know how to swap a mod at all, check out this thread first
http://modderbase.com/showthread.php?tid=53
If you can swap a mod already, i think here's something you should know, it will save you a lot of precious time.
For example I want to swap Chunli C6 to her C1.
After you duplicate all the files from C6 to C1, there are only 3 file names need to be updated.
1. DA_Z02_Costume_06 > DA_CNL_Costume_01
2. DA_Z02_CostumeColorPreview_06 > DA_CNL_CostumeColorPreview_01
3. DA_Z02_PreviewCostume_06 > DA_CNL_PreviewCostume_01
Those 3 files will be read by the game engine from somewhere i don't know. so i have to update those names.
As for the rest of all (Material, Texture, Mesh files), their file paths have been written into the DA_XXX_Costume_XX and the Mesh file(Z02_06 in this case) mostly, so we don't have to change any of them, the only thing we need to do is update the Index( file path ) for each one.
In this case, "Ctrl + R > "/06/" to "/01/" > Replace All", Done (really not a heavy job isn't it?!). of cause, if you want to swap it to another character,lets say Chunli to Juri, then you have to replace all "/CNL/" to "/JRI/".
If i didn't make myself perfectly clear in English, here's the swap mod i've made. Chunli C6 to C1. you can check that out: (this is my way to do a full swap)

I will be very happy if this thread helps any of you, especially @robhal and @Lobuttomize you two angels. (I noticed you guys do change all the file names, it's a waste of time i think, maybe i just misunderstood full swap or mini swap, if you have special reasons maybe let me know plz.)
have a nice day guys ^ ^
