Importing older entrances from 2K14 to 2K15 help!

[jakeypearce]

Yes.

[beastedot9]

Hmmm, and you say Kane's AE 2K14 file worked? If so, when you have time send me that file please

 

[jakeypearce]

Well, that didn't do anything at all. Hurray I'm an idiot! I wasn't even injecting the correct Entrance00.pac! I just tried, and it crashes.

My quote explains why Kane's "worked". I'll try again.

EDIT: It crashed. Sure could use some help

Eri619 posted the WWE '13/ 12 entrance files here. I remember trying to get these to work ages ago, maybe you can find something useful in them.

[jakeypearce]

Just so I know, what did you try and do? Funnily enough, when I compared my Ambrose 2K14 EVZ to @CenzTom, they were the exact same. When I injected mine in, it crashed. When I injected CenzTom's, it worked.

EDIT: I think I found out what's causing the crash. There are 21(!) YANM files in string. When one of the YANM files are gone, it crashes. Now, I'm not sure how to resolve it if at all. @eri619's WWE '13 list stated that The Rock's entrance was there. I checked, and it wasn't!

HUGE UPDATE: My Ambrose entrance works! I spotted the issue. There was a number 366. I changed it to 367, injected and it works! I now need to find out how to get Retro Rock working.

that's great news

thank you for these amazing updates

EDIT: can't you do the same process as adding pach files, but with YANM files, to get the exact number?

Yes this is great development.If you need any help just let me know

i tried changing the numbers(the ids)but it never worked for me,surprised it did for you.

I think the reason why Ambrose's worked is because the animations are vertically identical from 2K14>2K15. What do you mean by that, @xWeasel?

like say i make jeff hardy and i want 2 attires on him, so i get someones pac file that has 2 pach slots, so i can inject 2 attire files inside that pac

can't you do the same thing for YANM files?

im not aware of this format, or the way this is presented, so i'll just give some suggestions, which hopefully helps 

[jakeypearce]

The YANM files are the animations themselves - before that, it was YMK. The animations DO have PACH files, but I do not know how to access them.

could you screen shot the layout on xpacker pls?

[jakeypearce]

What do you mean by "the layout"? Do you mean the Entrance files?

[xWeasel]

What do you mean by "the layout"? Do you mean the Entrance files?

no, like when you open up a pac file, you see the pach files

so the layout would be the pach files inside the pac file

[jakeypearce]

Invalid Pac file selected.

[xWeasel]

Invalid Pac file selected.

how do you actually access the YANM files?

[jakeypearce]

Now that, I do not know. To see the actual files, they are in the entrance animations which you view by using a hex editor.

ah kk

I just tried injecting Retro Rock over Brock Lesnar. His entrance isn't changing at all. Yes, I am using the right Entrance02 file this time.

[beastedot9]

I think it would be good to cross reference and see why some files work and some don't. I'm going to look at this more in depth later tonight. 

What I did before was just injecting into different slots. Seeing similarities between the same superstars entrance. 

[jakeypearce]

That's interesting. I had a random idea to change the 344 in hex to 64 (100). This, obviously, did not work.

[beastedot9]

Have you had a read through the 2k14 forum? I can't link it now cause mobile doesn't seem to want to post links. 

The modding index by red rooster has a tutorial for converting 2k15 entrance files to 2k14. Granted it's on the console but the concept is worth a look. 

[jakeypearce]

I can't seem to find it, @beastedot9.

That's the tutorial for 2K14   by Red Rooster

[jakeypearce]

The tutorial require xbdecompress, which I don't have. Is there a link and a syntax (if it's a command line) for it?

EDIT: I found it. I compressed and injected the EVZ, and it crashed
