Hey everybody today i'm making my first big topic on how to hex edit and modify some parts of the game
first i'll upload a .txt file to help you understand how a save file of svr 09 works open it with notepad++
Here's an example of the file and I a also put the same for svr 08
Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1V-31fik3Sfb6oDBTbOYXCvV48SfXqEio?usp=share_link
unfortunately I couldn't managed to use the save file after modifying it , it's always corrupted I tried with horizon and le fluffie but nothing works (maybe some checksum problem) so if anybody knows how to modify the save without corrupting it would be awesome to know
now let's see how to add an attire slot for other superstars,
unfortunately I couldn't succeed to add attires without removing a slot for someone ( you can remove the slots of zombie finlay and zombie santino, I don't think anybody needs thoses)
Take the misc.pac file and open it with HxD
Look for the Cos line (there is two times that line and you have to do the same thing for both lines)
the wrestlers who are circled are the ones with a second attire
Select the wrestler that you want to add a second attire by converting his ch number (dec) in hex for example I've already modified santino's who is ch201 (C9 in hex) and replaced it with jeff hardy ch111 (6F in hex)
Now let's see for the renders, you just need pac editor and of course if you make your renders by yourself you need photoshop and the dds plugin for photoshop
take DLC_HD.pac , There are 3 render folders (The more important ones are SSFA and SSFB)(SSFC is for the royal rumble screen) in it and if you're replacing it you've got to match the proportions of the original renders (just extract one and open it with photoshop and try that your render matches the exact proportions to make it look good )
when you finished your render with photoshop save it in dds (DXT3) i've also put the renders of svr 08 Jeff hardy in the link
with Pac editor open DLC_HD.pac and replace the render of your choice by doing that
It also works with the hex number of superstars like the save file and the misc.pac so find the wrestler that you want to change and press inject file
and now check the result
Note that if you have dlc's of svr 09 the game is going to read the misc.pac and dlc_hd of the last DLC content that you have so if anyone knows how to replace the files without the dlc being corrupted and also for the save file being corrupted after modifying it, it would be cool to know
