Tutorial on replacing renders with xpacker.

Changing Renders - Typea 1024 x 1024 / Typeb 1042 x 1024 / Typec 512 x512

> Open Xpacker 10.4 ( Open > PC PAC FILE > PAC CONTAINING DIRECTORIES > Browse to ltag_type*.pac - Which is located C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\WWE2K16\pac\menu\assets\_wwe16singleread\ssface\type*
> Once open - In the top right there is a purple box that says uncompress - Click this. Make a new folder on the desktop and uncompress to that folder.
> Open my Renders & ID's spreadsheet at this point and locate the render you would like to replace.
> Click file on xpacker once again then open, Then Pach file. Find and locate in that new folder you created on the desktop and double click it.
> In here you will see 2 files named 0000 & 0001, Here you want to click on uncompress on the file 0001 - Uncompress this to the desktop.
> Once this is uncompressed to the deskop you will see 2 files on the desktop 0001.bpe & 0001.pac. Ignore the 0001.bpe and rename the 0001.pac file to 0001.dds.
> Now you can double click on the 0001.dds file and will open im Visual studio - I am using visual studio 2015.
> Once this opens in visual studio you will see the file size is 1024 x 1024 or 512 x 512 - This must always remain the same.
> Download your render from the internet baring in mind it has to be 1024 x 1024 / 512 x 512 or above resolution.
> When downloaded the new render rename it from .png to .dds and double click it - This will then open in Visual studio.
> You will now need to resize the render you just opened in visual studio - In the top right you will see it says Width & Height this needs to be changed to 1024 x 1024 / 512 x 512 - To do this you need to click the little icon between the width and height before you change it.
> Once you have resized this image click on the image and Ctrl + A to select the image then Ctrl + C to copy the image.
> Now go over the file 0001.dds that is also open in visual studio - Keep a note of how the image looks size wize on the green background as you will need to match it in a second.
> Press Ctrl + A to select the image and then delete - This will now leave you with a blank canvas - Now press Ctrl + V - This will paste your new render onto the blank canvase - Now resize the new image as similar size wise as the previous image you just deleted.
> Once you are happy click save - This can take up to 5 minutes to save depending on the speed of your pc.
> Now that is saved on the desktop as 0001.dds - Rename it back to 0001.pac.
> In Xpacker click file > Open > pc pac file > PACH File then open FB92A8B6 once again and where it says file 0001 next to it click compress and inject - Then locate your new render file on your desktop names 0001.pac - It should say injected succesfully.
> With that now injected if you go back to xpacker and then open > PC PAC > Pac containing directories - Open ltag_type*.pac - Locate the file but do not sort by file name as this can mess it up - You need to seach manually.
> Once you have found it - Click Inject and locate your file and that should be it done.
> Please note this can be a bit fiddly and if it doesnt work the first time try again and it should work fine.

Enjoy

I have built an excel table complete with all renders and file ID's - This includes TYPE A/B/C all DLC.

[Jimmycrane1986]

hi robbie thanks but there's no download link?

[Robbie686]

Should be there now

[Jimmycrane1986]

thanks dude

 

what visual studio do you use buddy? i can't remember if it's 2010 or not?

[Robbie686]

Im using 2015 mate but i dont think it matters.

So i have unpacked all the render files and no CAW to be seen which indicates that the renders for the CAWs must be somewhere within the save data.

This is pretty amazing. Are you working on a pack? 

[Robbie686]

Tutorial also added - No im not working on any pack as of yet.

[Dennisolsen]

Awesome..THX!!

 

[Sasha11015]

Can you do updated renders pack?

[dashot88]

Thanks for this table man. It's a big help.

[Robbie686]

Your welcome :)

[MossMan12]

Can you do updated renders pack?

I would like one to... this editing stuff isnt for me

[Robbie686]

I could make a pack but not everyone would want the same renders and change of characters. Plus i cant get C type renders to work without crashing the game yet.
