Breakthrough! - Adding CAW items to ingame models

[bugsyboy]

Yes

[Tamer™]

This is a massive step forward, I always thought about if this day would ever be seen. Great job.

[bugsyboy]

When i use a object from ed** folders , i know i have to change the reference but how do i get the actual normal map ? Do i simply copy the reference and paste it on another map in hex ?

[UndertakerWLF]

Try it and find out , this is what the thread is for. Because there is so much ground to cover myself and Tekken thought it would be best to start a topic so we can get you guys involved to help.

[OverTheEdge]

While I haven't had a chance to try it myself--so I can't say for sure--my guess is that it'd be like remapping the hair. Since you need to reference it to a texture already in there, that'd be the color--which, in turn, links to the normal. So, wherever you place the texture for the object you're adding on the color, just do so in the same spot on the normal/alpha. At least that's what I've done in my past efforts of adding additional YOBJs. I don't know if that holds true with this method, but I'd imagine it would.

so why aren't you guys working at Yukes again?

@ OTE it would work like this if i had the normal but in this case i dont but to tell you the truth i didnt look if they are in the folders.

I will look when i get back home

Oh, you meant what would you do for the actual normal texture itself. I hear you now. I misunderstood what you meant before.

are you going to be able to do all of this cool stuff on PS4/X Box One? I'm extremely clueless to how this all works so I have no idea.

[UndertakerWLF]

Depends on several things really.

 

• If the PS4/XBOX One can be hacked
• If the file structure of the WWE games is the same as the PS3/XBOX 360 variants
• If ISO's can be ran from a HDD

[bugsyboy]

Ok i got it they are all in the folder in tga like tekken says. Ooooooooooohhh shit , lets mod this bitch !!

so if these things are for sure, or at least you find another solution, I wonder if you'll be able to mod people in the game with the awesome detail the models will have.

[Aqfitz]

This makes me really want to figure out how to JTAG my xbox. Damn cool guys

[bugsyboy]

I try for over 2 hours injecting a shirt from the ed*.pac files on the Rock as a test but i always get a crash.

I dont know exactly what i have to change so i got my reference from Hollywood's shirt.

What did you guys change in the reference ? Do you see something wrong in my files ?

 

Before 

 

After

 

 

forget the pic i see the mistake but i tried alot of different things , if you guys could point out what exactly needs to be change in the reference it would be great

[tekken57]

Only the first 6 entries.

 

I set

 

all0  = color

all0_n = normal

all0_m = mask

all1  = color

all1_n = normal

all1_m = mask

[bugsyboy]

Ok thanks Tekken but i notice that some of the files have already some of the reference (like mask) you mention but further down , what do i do in this case ?

Also hogan shirt have a reference name tshirt do i apply this reference if i am trying to inject a shirt ?

[tekken57]

I haven't tried changing any other values than the one's I've mentioned. Experiment and see what happens, maybe the it will have an effect.

[bugsyboy]

I know you guys successfully inject hats and mask to 2700 but were you ever successful at injecting shirts and other objects ?

I have tried numerous reference to a bunch of different pach but nothing work for me.

[UndertakerWLF]

I've not injected a shirt yet, ae you injecting as a seperate model? or replacing a model already attached to the superstar model?

[bugsyboy]

Im trying to replace an already existing model in the 2700.

How would i inject as a separate model ?

[El Buvor]

I'm trying to find a way to import a wrestler head over another but I didn't find anything yet, because of the number of vertices. Do you know Tekken if there is a way to import a new head as a proper YOBJ file (and hide the old head in the 0000 YOBJ file) ?

[tekken57]

Yes it can't be done if you use a superstar head from caw mode.

I added a head from a normal wrestler into another and hid the unused objects but the game doesn't load it in ring as the file is too big.

Look at the pic of shamrock I posted.

[tekken57]

@bugsy, haven't tried a shirt as yet. the procedure should be the same though. Change the material references and inject over a hair object.

[bugsyboy]

Shirts also come with pieces of body like the neck and arms , i made them small and hide them under the mesh then inject with xrey but i get a error message every time even thought xrey seem to inject properly. I really want to help with this discovery but i am really stuck here.

I dont think the caws head objects work the same as the others. I would love to see if you guys can inject some other body parts like pants , shirts and jackets.

I have the mod with the normal and uwv already done if you guys could take a look and at least see if its possible to inject the shirt .
