Editing the String.pac *Tutorial

It should be A157. Nothing else was changed, only that one.

Ok, it says WWE 2K15, if its not showing in game then you are doing something wrong with the re-injection possibly. Did you use Le Fluffie to inject the pac back into the DLC?

Did you do the "Sign for Dev Live" and Fix?

If you have corrupted the pac file somehow then the game will load the string file from DLC 4, which would explain why the change isnt appearing in game.

Okay this makes sense I suppose if Im messing up 05 game goes to 04.

And no Im not doing anything fluffie related because in ps3 that file is not compressed it just sits in a folder named catalog05

[Impaler]

Can somebody take a look at this file and tell me if its done right? The game ignores it completely. In unlockables menu of the game - there are no changes. Though I have changed first 2 strings. Big John Studd and the next one that goes after it. Ps3 version.

Extremely important detail that was not mentioned in the tutorial which I uncovered after a thorough search on this forum and countless hours of barking up the wrong tree when editing strings on PS3 version.

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

The file for PS3 users is 5001 ! Not 5000.

The file you need to edit if you have all DLC packs installed is catalog005/pac/string_dlc05.pac

Thanks @LordBarker for originally posting this info 3 years ago!

Damn this made my whole day, heck, the whole week

I changed Alberto Del Rio to AJ Styles and on the select screen still Alberto Del Rio, but it only appears at the nameplate on the entrance, what i did wrong?

I think when you edited to pofo name values in x-packer you did not change all 3 to AJ Styles

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

Probably because its not compressed, just open it with Xpacker.

 

If you open a file with a hex editor you can tell if its compressed or not.

Future reference for other PS3 users. I tried 5001 instead of 5000 like @Impalersaid, and it didn't update the string file in game. However, updating 5000 (like original tutorial) did work. Not sure why 5001 works for him and 5000 works for me on PS3, but nonetheless, that's how it is. Just in case someone else stumbles into this problem down the road.
