I'm back and I've had a great idea, I've made this thread to condense all my modding finding and tutorials here so that it's easier to have all the guides here instead of scattered around other places.

How to change the title screen stages!
With this you can choose your selected or favorite stages/cutscene instead of the boring defult stages that load up.
1st Open up your 1ST_READ.BIN file with a hex editor, then goto the offset 1d062d:
That is where the stage values are kept that load up the stage each value means a different stage.
In this case the number values are: 00 14 15 09 0c 0f 00 05 18 0a 00
As you can see the list below, normally the game loads the following stages - The white storm, The Spiral, The Dragon Hills etc.....
Stage Values:
Orange = Dreamcast/NAOMI+PS2
BLUE = PS2 ONLY (Files don't exist on DC/NAOMI)
00 - The White Storm
01 - The Aerial Garden (Night)
02 - The DangerZone 2 (Survival)
03 - The Ice Cavern
04 - Helena's Burning Cutscene
05 - The Death Vally
06 - Test Stage
07 - Test Stage 2
08 - The DangerZone 2 (Sparring+Tag Battle)
09 - The DangerZone
0a - The Great Opera
0b - The Great Opera (Lower Balcony)
0c - The Demon Church
0d - The Demon Church (Lower Level)
0e - Kasumi Cloning Cutscene
0f - The Aerial Garden (Daytime)
10 - The Aerial Garden (Lower - Day)
11 - Elevator Cutscene
12 - The Miyama
13 - The Koku-An (PS2 ONLY)
14 - The Spiral
15 - The Dragon Hills
16 - Kasumi moon water cutscene (PS2 NTSCJ HARD*CORE)
17 - Bass's Ally Stage
18 - The Bio-Lab
19 - Leon's Desert
1a - The Aerial Garden (Lower - Night)
1b - The Miyama (Snowing)
1c - Young Tina Cutscene Stage
1d - Bass's Living room
1e - The Dragon Hills (Lower Level)
1f - The Prairie (PS2 ONLY)
20 - Desert Truck Cutscene (PS2 ONLY)
21 - The Crimson lower (PS2 ONLY)
22 - The Aerial Gardens sunset (PS2 ONLY)
23 - lower garden (PS2 ONLY)

How to swap stages!
Yes another discovery I have made, finally we are able to swap whatever stage you want without it being "compatible" or if it loads up correctly. This tutorial is how to correctly swap stages!
THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE STAGES THAT LOAD UP STORY MODE!
1st open the 1ST_READ.BIN and go to the offset 174056:
Each value for the stage is seperated by the value '00' there are 12 stages in total.
With the stage list showing me which values I should replace, I decided only to swap "The Dragon Hills" stage which the value for that stage was the 10th value '15' So I changed the value '15' to '1b' (which from the list below, that number means it will load up Zack's ending stage)
The Result
The game loaded up Zack's ending stage which replaced "The Dragon Hills" stage:

How to swap stages/cutscene stages in Story Mode
Also be aware that these values change the cutscene stage only!
170664- Helena's Cutscene 1 stage (Dragon Hills)
1706ad - Ein vs Helena Cutscene stage (Spiral)
Once you have changed the cutscene stage, you need to change the value of the Story Mode stage values that load up playable ingame. The reason for this is that it stores the hex values for the stage of the cutscene in a different part of the 1ST_READ.BIN.
If you just swap either the cutscene stage or just the ingame stage, the game will load up the cutscene in a stage then when the fight begins the game will teleport to the stage you changed.
So make sure you change both values when you want to completly swap a stage in story mode or they will magically get transported to another location!
Character Story Mode Stages (Not Cutscenes) (offsets Still W.I.P, need the rest of the characters)
175244 - Jan-Lee
175249 - Ein
175252 - Hayabusa
175256 - Kasumi
175265 - Helana
17526e - Leon
17527a - Lei-Fang
175282 - Ayane
Once you goto the offset of your desired character's stages, you will see that there are a different amount of stage values for each character (one two valued hex number means one stage). The reason for this is that different characters have more cutscenes than others, but if you are still thinking-
"Why are there only 4 values for *Insert characters name* if in story mode there are 7 stages, shouldn't every character have 7 hex values for the stages that load up in story mode?"
No, this is because if that character only has three hex values then this is because those stage hex values are 'Destined' for that character in that specific stage.
Example
Helena has six stage values:
15 09 14 01 0a 12 -
each value means that the 'destined' stage will load up in that order in story mode. So from these values it should load up: The Dragon Hills, The DangerZone, The Spiral, The Arial Garden (Night) etc. But there is one value missing, this means there is one stage that is selected at random. This applies to all characters, if they only have a certain number then the other stages are selected randomly and cannot be changed.
Also be aware that these values change the cutscene stage only!

How to swap character costumes!
Yes Iv finally done it! How to swap any costume you want without thinking of the problems with "Compatible costume slots" which now you can learn how to edit the costume slot compatability with this tutorial!
1st open the 1ST_READ.BIN with a hex editor, then search for the numbers "123456789" and it will link you to some hex values which look like these:
Each costume starts at value "fe" and ends with value "ff" here I have made a list of Kasumi's for an example:
Choose the costume slot value you want to swap with another costume (im swapping KAS07 with KAS04 now copy the hex values from one costume slot onto the one you want and then save it!
Also don't forget you need to swap the normal costume files aswell, so I had to replace the KAS07 files with the KAS04 files (APV,BIN,CHR,SUP,ACS) In addition if you are planning to swap a costume slot and you find that the hex values for that slot is shorter than the one you are replacing (e.g KAS04) then you need to replace the values to 00 and then insert the other hex values near the bottom.

LOL I had to find the character offset myself though because he used the US version and I'm using the Japanese Limited Edition though to my dissapointment, Helena's mother and also the other NPCs did not have their own character portrait in this version.
They all use portraits from existing characters (Helenas Mum uses Bayman's, Loran uses Leifang's etc) maybe Tecmo had to delete some of the portraits because they were never going to be used and they could make more room for new costumes by deleting them.

Changing the values to the new global input slots should work to fix combo strings, but we also need to rearrange the input tables a bit.
You can get to the input tables by following the second pointer at the start of the character.bin
Known Input groupings:
(the way these are ordered doesn't correlate to the offsets in the image)
Non-String

Non-String

Non-String (holds, usually)

String Directionals (Helena)
Combo Throws (couldn't get these to work yet)
Combo Holds (these either)
Strings from stances/flips (mostly seen this used for near wall attacks like Hayabusa's 7PP / 7PK)

Here's Ayane from 2U
And Here's Ayane from 3.1
The highlighted section has a bunch of pointers
This chunk of data is 0xC0 bytes in 2U and 0xE0 bytes in 3 (-counting up from the first FF FF 00 00 in both images-) and each pointer leads to another table of pointers for a specific input type:
