[Red Rooster]

Editing the String.pac

 

You will need :

 

-          Le Fluffie

-          The latest DLC file saved to your PC

 

 

1)      Open Le Fluffie

2)      Select File -> Open a File

3)      Browse to your DLC file and click Open

4)      Click the Contents tab

5)      Click on pac

6)      In the viewing window at the bottom Right-Click the string file (string_dlc3.pac or similar)

7)      Select Extract from the drop down list

😎 Type a name for the file in the File name section (eg string.pac)

9)      Click Save button to save the file in the location you choose

10)   Open X-Packer 9

11)   Select File -> Open -> Xbox360 \ PS3 Pac (Or hit Ctrl + X)

12)   Browse to the string.pac file you saved and click open (it is a large file so may take a few seconds to open)

13)   Click the Extract button next to the File named 5000

14)   Save 5000.pac where you would like it

15)   Select File -> Open -> Xbox360 \ PS3 PACH (Or hit Ctrl + 3)

16)   Browse to where you saved 5000.pac, select it and click Open

17)   Click the Uncompress button

18)   Select a location you would like to save the files

19)   Select File -> Open -> WWE 2k14 -> Strings.pac 0000 File (Or hit Ctrl + 0)

20)   Browse to 0000.zlib.uncompressed (where you uncompressed it to)

21)   Click Open

          

The 0000 file contains thousands of string entries so finding the one you require may take some time. Double clicking on the Filename will open a dialogue box displaying the text it contains.

 

Wrestler Full Names

 

EAC4 – EBEC

 

Unlockables Text (Good location for replacing strings) – These will be used for future DLC packs

 

A157-A1B7

A348-A363

AA9E-AAC2

 

In this example I will edit the string at A157 “Big John Studd (Wrestlemania)”

22)  Double click the file name column of entry A157

23)  Delete and replace the text with what ever you would like (new text must be the same length or shorter than the original text)

24)   Click Ok (You should see “String changed correctly”)

25)   Select File -> Open -> Xbox360 \ PS3 PACH (Or hit Ctrl + 3)

26)   Browse to 5000.pac and click Open

27)   Click “Compress and Inject” button and browse to 0000.zlib.uncompressed

28)   Click Open (You should see “file compressed and injected successfully”)

29)   Select File -> Open -> Xbox360 \ PS3 Pac (Or hit Ctrl + X)

30)   Browse to string.pac and click Open

31)   Click “Inject” Button next to 5000

32)  Browse to your saved 5000.pach file and click Open

33)   Return to Le Fluffie

34)   Right click the string.pac file in the Le Fluffie viewing window

35)   Select “Inject File”

36)   Browse to the string.pac file you made with X Packer, hit Open

37)   Click the Security Tab and select “Sign for Dev Live”

38)   Click the “Fix” Button

39)   Close Le Fluffie

40)   Transfer the DLC back to your Xbox

just a little critique..you really should state "use the buttons on the main archieve line"  when referring to extract and uncompressed, as the natural instinct is to use the ones on the same line as the file to the left.. it took me a couple times to realize i was doing it wrong .. referring to lines 13 and 17 of document above.

It means as it says "Click the Extract button next to the File named 5000" that is the Extract button on the same line as the file. Same with Uncompress, those are the buttons I used.

 

The Extract button at the top "on the main archive line" will extract the entire pac.

Red, you are working with the strings. Do you find where the names from preset entrances and movesets are?

Would be good to fix that to make entrances faster in game.

Havent found them, I dont think they are in the 5000.pach

Thanks for the tut bro, I kinda regret the old tools for that kind of mods.....

I have no interest in modding the dlc for now, all I want is give the wrestler I replace their right name.

So I edited the string.pac and replaced the one in the main game but when I play, nothing changes......

 

Does that mean that the DLC string.pac overwrite the main game string.pac?

 

CONFIRMED

Can we inject the string.pac we modified in the first dlc into the second dlc?

Ok, I guess I just have to try, right?
