[SOLVED] Does anybody know the names and locations of the .pac files that the ugly My Career Jobber CAW-NPCs located in?

Does anybody know which .pac files the ugly CAW-looking jobber NPCs from My Career are located in?

The IDs (thanks to pozzum for them) are the following:

Flash Silva: 482

El Hondero: 501

Ray Rich: 502

Tommy Wall: 503

Zeus Tucker: 504

Barron Blade: 507

However, there aren't any .pac files with these same IDs in the pac/ch folder. Does anybody know which .pac file each of the above corresponds to and where they are located?

I'd like to know this in order to replace them with some real wrestlers or community created wrestlers so I have some exciting opponents for My Career instead of running into these uglies even 5+ years into the career as they are just such a turn off.

If I recall correctly, they're actually located in chCommon.pac. I'll double check.

 

Edit: It's ChHeads.pac

I figured it out myself. I just copied the .pac file of another wrestler and renamed it to the numbers I listed and changed the string in the file to the number of the career NPC. This changed his model to the one from the wrestler I copied. So it seems to override the chCommon.pac if you create separate ones.

I have only tested it with the unlocked ones in regular gameplay and not in career mode yet, but will do so shortly.

No problem  

 

If it doesn't work in career mode, you might have to replace them in the ch head file too. That might just be related to career mode, it's a guess but a possibility lol

They are in the chHeads.pac to replace them just extract the pach of the wrestler you want to replace them with (rename and all that) then inject it over the "caw" guy pach.

Good news, it does work in My Career Mode without replacing them in the ChHeads.pac file. One has to simply copy a ch*.pac file from a superstar you wish to replace the Career Mode NPC with and rename the file with the proper ID as well as hex editing the new ID into it. These properly numbered ch*.pac files seem to override the info in the ChHeads.pac file for these particular wrestlers.

Here a screenshot from the start of My Career mode with Scott Steiner, Bill Goldberg, Finn Balor and Jeff Hardy trying out for NXT with a CAW (click the image to enlarge):

And a picture outside of career mode with all six replacements, Paige, Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Goldberg, Scott Steiner and Finn Balor in action in a Six Person Ladder Match (click the image to enlarge):

For those interested and to give credit, I did the following replacements for the screenshots tests above:

Flash Silva to Pristo's Paige (ch482.pac)

El Hondero to Bravebird31's Jeff Hardy (ch501.pac)

Ray Rich to Bravebird31's Samoa Joe (ch502.pac)

Tommy Wall to Tekken57's Goldberg (ch503.pac)

Zeus Tucker to Tekken47's Scott Steiner (ch504.pac)

Barron Blade to The AGS' Finn Balor (ch507.pac)

The CAW in the My Career shot is an imported custom one I made of a friend of mine, a former local tag team wrestler.

I haven't adjusted their heights properly yet or changed the name strings, it was just a quick test.

This is exactly what I am attempting, I can't get Barron Blade to Finn Balor, it keeps crashing! All the exact changes, I posted in community dlc thread. Help me! lol

I changed his hex hxd to 507 & all it does it crash for me.
