Hi, As promised, I am putting up a tutorial about editing the ring announcer data file. I will try to break it down as much as possible. The sound.pac file contains commentary data, ring announcer data and some other bit, some which I;ve not been able to decipher, but I will share what I have already discovered or what I know. With the dlc releases , the sound_p30.pac file in the pac/audio folder will supersede the others, so we want to edit this file rather than the sound.pac file. I will outline the steps and some explanations below. TOOLS REQUIRED : Pac Editor, HxD. CCT - You need to open CCT so you can look up the ch ID's of each character slot which you will need to convert to hexadecimal using the windows calculator set to programmer mode. I will also assume you know how to use pac editor and its decompress\reinject functions. It is also assumed you know how to convert decimal ID's to Hexadecimal and vice versa using the Windows calculator. Here is a copy of an un modified sound_p30.pac file https://mega.nz/file/RQwQ3YwR#fXaUytSvEsySzs6yTOcBt1ehG7QqaaW2JNiZ07UiP9k 1. Open the file using Pac Editor. Click on MASS EXTRACT to decompress all it's contents. 2. browse into the folder and subfolders created. You will need to open the @0BFD09BF523F7140.pac folder 3. You will see a list of folders . The two I have worked with are the C8 and 012C files. The C8 file contains the ring announcer data while the 012C contains the commentary data. This is the file I edit to modify the commentary call name for moves during matches. But what we need is the C8 file. Click on the @C8.pac folder created to view it's contents. 4. You will see a lot of files beginning with ra. This stands for ring announcer. Each of these files control various ring announcer functions in the game. The 15.rass file holds ring announcer data for character name announcements. Open this file in HxD. You will be presented with the following. Please take note this is an unmodified file. The sound file in the ported moves and entrances pack has been modified. I will explain the data entries in this file. Each Superstar in the game has a ring announcer ID. this ID is linked to the announcer names you find when you open the ra_m.pck file in sound editor and search for the superstar's name. These are not the ID's you see listed in sound editor. The first entry 64 00 00 00 04 1C 89 CC is for The Rock . Each entry is 8 bytes long. 64 being the 1st byte, 00 2nd byte, 89 the 7th byte and CC the 8th byte etc. His CH ID is 100, which is 64 when converted to Hex. The bytes are flipped (00 64 written as 64 00) . The last 4 bytes in orange 04 1C 89 CC is the ring announcer ID for The Rock. This value hasn't changed since WWE 2K16. The next 8 bytes 65 00 00 00 BC 7E 4E 98 is the second entry for CH ID 101 (convert 65 to decimal ). This is Steve Austin's ID. The ring announcer ID for steve Austin is BC 7E 4E 98 Lets look for the ID's for 2 other characters. Roman Reigns and Charlotte. First you need to look up their ID's in CCT and convert the value to hexadecimal. Roman Reigns CH ID is 368. Converting this to hex gives 170. Charlotte's CH 1D is 612. Converting this to Hex gives 264. In both cases we need to flip the bytes (01 70 becomes 70 01, 02 64 becomes 64 02) If you look up 70 01 you will find this entry 70 01 00 00 8B 27 5E 3D and for 64 02 (Charlotte) 64 02 00 00 55 8D 25 23 Now If I replaced the bytes 8B 27 5E 3D with 55 8D 25 23 so Roman Reigns entry reads 70 01 00 00 55 8D 25 23, Roman Reigns will get announced as Charlotte. All the ID's in this file are ring announcer ID's for superstars shipped with the game. There are no mod slots listed in this file. It also doesn't include ID's for removed characters. But the good thing is we can insert slots for modded characters and include ID's for other superstars. We can't create custom ID' as we can't add sound without replacing so that's out of the question here. For instance if you look in the Superstar list in CCT you will see slot 460 is marked as Cody Rhodes and 468 is marked as CM Punk. Lets say you have these two mods in your game, we first convert the ID's to hex. 460 is 1CC , 468 is 1D4. We can insert 8 bytes for each. TAKE NOTE THE CH ID'S ARE ARRANGED IN NUMBERICAL ORDER. IF YOU PLACE DATA JUST ANYWHERE, IT WON'T WORK. Going by numerical order, CC 01 (1CC) is the next hex number to 01 CB (CB 01) . You can copy these 8 bytes of zero's and PASTE INSERT after the CB 01 entry as shown. 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Now we have ID's but no ring announcer ID's. Luckily the developers left over ring announcer names for removed superstars who were in 2k18. There are about 30 wrestlers removed. The announce names are still linked to their 2K18 ID's so they work in 2k19. I looked up the ring announcer ID's for all the 2k18 removed superstars and compiled them on this sheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/163Y444q_0ODalgKxhG58gDJTz0Ko5ZUwcR7gc0qc6iU/edit#gid=0 We can use any of these for any slot we add. Lets say I wanted to use RVD and Darren Young's ring announcer names for Cody Rhodes and CM Punk, the ID's need to be copied to the blank spaces as shown here. With this, any superstar placed in slot 460 will be announced as RVD while any superstar placed in slot 469 will be announced as Darren Young. Al that needs to be done is serach for those names and inject the announcer name audio over those names with Sound editor. I will have to assume you have been using sound editor. After entries are added , you need to modify two data values. First, you need to scroll to the footer of the file and look up the last offset row. This will change after new entries are added. from this sheet, the last offset row is 00000840. We note down the value 840 ( we will flip the bytes as 40 08 when modifying) .We need to scroll to the top , change the 28 08 to 40 08 You will also need to take note of the value 05 01. This is the default number of entries in Hex. Since we added two entries we add 2 to 01 05 which will give 01 07. This is written as 07 01. These are important steps. If not done correctly, the last rows of ring announcer ID's wouldn't work. if you are working with a modified sound_p30.pac file , these values will be slightly different as ring announcer ID's will have been added to the file. Save the file, Open the 00C8.pac file in the folder with pac editor, locate the 0015.rass, select the INJECT FILE function and select the modified 0015.rass file. Open the 0BFD09BF523F7140.pac file in pac editor, select the INJECT AS ZLIB function and inject the 00C8.pac file. Open the sound_p30.pac file in pac editor and inject the 0BFD09BF523F7140.pac using the INJECT FILE function. Place the file in the pac\audio folder.

Thank you for supporting the ERAS Project.

I'll make a tutorial. It's the same as 19/20 except the bks are in the caks now. Facepaint for Jeff is on his texture, thats why it cant be changed. You'll have to retexture his face if u want it gone. I'll make a model import guide soon.

Thanks that worked

wwe 2k15

Please add Santino Marella Comeback

Hi, I have been able to fix the impact sound issue which was due to some corruption in the sound file. I have reuploaded the ported moves pack. Please redownload. Hi, From what we have seen so far, the 2k22 animation files are compressed in a different format from 2k20 so its not compatible with 2k20 and previous games in its current form. Hopefully with time , we will be able to find a way around it , but for now , nothing can be done regarding any animations backporting, either moves or entrances

Is there any chance a few of wwe 2k22 moves will be added to wwe 2k19 game? Replace some other moves.

You bet. Not sure why I never included that to begin with when I first uploaded the arenas. Here you go: https://mega.nz/folder/RE1xFb7I#kYVBfk4C8nGB6cyLVvCWRA So, the match loading screens are in the MatchHD file. Once you click on the link, it'll show you which one to upload where. Just let me know if you have any issues.

I'm pretty sure the video files in 2K games are .bk2 or maybe even .bik files. This site might be what you're looking for. https://www.converthelper.net/bk2-to-mp4

If we can add models back in game id say bring the fiend back.im a texture modder. You guys that bring the models in the game are a genius.

Hey! Thank you again so much for your continued work on this! Two questions: 1) Once this is activated, when I try to use the Revival titantron, all of the secondary GFX work but the main Titantron simply shows the main camera angle from the game. 2) Is there any way you could activate singles GFX for Montex Ford Angelo Dawkins?
