Samoa Joe 10 Attires
Client-Side Modification for WWE 2k15 on the PC
Version 1.0
based on Samoa Joe v2 by Brave
Additional Attires by Caveman

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This client-side Modification adds 10 attires to Samoa Joe v2 by Brave. Each Attire, be it ring or entrance attire, comes in a separate file. This means you can use only the attires you like.
You will have to use the Alternate Attire Unlock of the Wrestler Information and Moveset Creator or edit the misc01_Start*.pac files yourself to be able to select all ten attires in the game.
In addition, you will need to inject a .moveset and .pofo file to unlock Samoa Joe in the game using Cheat Engine or Xpacker.

The modification is based on Brave's excellent Samoe Joe mod v2.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you begin to install this modification, it is highly recommended to keep a backup of your game folder in case something goes wrong.

Installation steps:

1. Navigate to the directory your WWE 2k15 is installed in (Default: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\WWE 2K15") with Windows Explorer or another file manager of choice.
2. Rename plistWin32.arc to plistWin32.arc.bak or delete it if you haven't done so already. This is required for mods to work.
3. Navigate into the sub-directory named pac.
4. Navigate into the sub-directory named ch.
5. If applicable, rename the original file  ch460.pac to ch460.pac.bak, ideally moving it to a separate backup folder.
6. Extract the contents of the .zip file and copy the pac folder into the WWE 2k15 directory (Default: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\WWE 2K15").
7. To unlock all 10 Attires and make them selectable in the game, download and install the Wrestler Information and Moveset Creator (follow the installation steps in it's readme) and use the Attire Unlocker contained within from:
http://smacktalks.org/forums/topic/58264-wrestler-information-and-moveset-creator/ 
Alternatively, advanced users may also edit the misc01_Start*.pac files manually with a hex editor instead.
8. Create and Install a .pofo and .moveset file for Samoa Joe ID 460 with the Wrestler Information and Moveset Creator or download it from the Moveset/Pofo Database zo unlock Samoa Joe in the game:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can find the latest version of the Mod and discuss it at the following URL:
http://smacktalks.org/forums/topic/59456-samoa-joe-10-attires/

To make 10 attires selectable for Samoa Joe in the game, it is required to additionally modify the misc01_start*.pac files in the \pac\ and \DLC60\pac\ folders of the WWE2k15 directory with hex editor.
If you do not feel comfortable enough with hex editing, please download and install my Wrestler Information and Moveset Creator tool, which will allow you to modify these files easily with a GUI. You can download the latest version at the following URL:
http://smacktalks.org/forums/topic/58264-wrestler-information-and-moveset-creator/ 

To make Samoa Joe selectable in the game, you'll have to install a .pofo and .moveset file for Samoa Joe. You can create your own .pofo and .moveset files with the Wrestler Information and Moveset Creator linked above and inject them using Cheat Engine or Xpacker.
Optionally, you may download the files created by the community if you do not wish to create your own at the Moveset/Pofo Database:
http://smacktalks.org/forums/topic/58251-movesetpofo-database/

The modification has only been tested with the official Steam version of WWE 2k15 with the Steam game June 2nd 2015 DLC Update installed. Any inofficial versions are not supported.
