How to get rid of the old school arena filter - New Fixed Version Adde

[Red Rooster]

I decided I dont like the hazy filter that the old school arenas have so I figured out how the remove the filter.

 

Edit : There was a problem that caused Sin Cara to crash the game, I have fixed it and uploaded the new version below

 

Just replace your bgEtc.pac with this one.

Thanks for doing this. I too got tired of the filter quick. Plus I got Monday  Nitro over WM IV but the stupid filter was ruining the arena a bit so I'm glad you look into this

[MrManolo135]

do you have to update the arc

[Red Rooster]

do you have to update the arc

Nope

Thanks.The filter is cool but gets annoying quickly

[tekken57]

Thanks man.

[UndertakerWLF]

Thanks Rooster

[Mathayus]

Thanks. I´m not tired at this point with the filter, but who knows in a future.

[nsieniski]

Great! thanks a lot....

You're the best bro

That filter should have only been for the story mode, it was a dumb design choice to have it tied to those arenas.

No,there´s people that like the filter.The only thing that 2k should have done was an option to turn on/off the filter.

Yeah I agree it should have had an option to turn it off.

THANK THE LORD 

[coroner]

It never really bothered me to be honest, but I agree there should have been an option to turn it off.

What bothers me more is the way the lighting affects the skin color in the modern arenas.

The bgEtc.pac must be different on PS3. Sorry I cant be of much help with that.

[bugsyboy]

The arenas are so much better without that stupid filter , thanks again red

[Red Rooster]

I just discovered that doing this causes the game to crash when you start a 1 on 1 match with Sin Cara, if there are more than 2 wrestlers it doesnt crash. I guess it has something to do with Sin Cara's arena lighting. Im not too worried about it but I thought Id let people know.

[Red Rooster]

Ok so I decided this did bug me so I fixed it, a link to the fixed BgEtc file is in the first post

[Andy]

Red can you tell me what textures to edit, or can you send me your edited texture. I must do it otherway for PS3 because your file dont work. thx

[Connor MacLeod]

I'm glad you reuped this I had that problem a couple of months ago, But I tried this last night before bed and choosing Cara still crashed my game.

[Red Rooster]

Red can you tell me what textures to edit, or can you send me your edited texture. I must do it otherway for PS3 because your file dont work. thx

Inside bgEtc there is a pach called VTGN inside there are 3 texture 0000, 0001 and 0002 replace all of them with a blank texture

Check the properties of the BgEtc.pac the size needs to be 48,007,168 bytes you may have downloaded the old one again before I had a chance to change the link (1 person downloaded the old one again)

[Connor MacLeod]

It's working perfectly now bro, I looks like I might have been that one download lol. I wish there was a way to get rid of Sin Cara's crappy lighting as well.

[Andy]

Thanks rooster when i fixed it for Ps3 i will upload it :-)

 

EDIT : FILE WORKS ON PS3 too, only renamed your file to new.bgEtc.pac and copied to the "GAMES" and "game" folder (where the original file is) and edited both def files to new.bgEtc.pac. Thank you
