Apparently messed up my attempt at Emma? Followed all the steps and got it done, but the image was waaaay too out of proportion. So I used a different Emma render, put that in to PS, changed that to 1024x1024, saved as .dds, opened it in VS and followed the exact same steps and now its crashing on match up screen. Not too sure why

[Robbie686]

Make sure to rename .dds back to .pac and also move the backup that it makes of the Ltag from the folder.

Okay so now it works (after doing type B?) but the ratio of the picture and stuff is all screwed up, not sure why because it looked perfect in VS,does the game do some weird scaling on the pictures? 

[Robbie686]

No it should be fine as long as you make sure both pictures are scaled to 1024 x 1024 then paste the new render over and adjust the image when in VS

[Kopmeister]

This 

gives me this 

[Robbie686]

Just make sure it matches the render your replacing. Remember you can use Ctrl & A to select the image in VS and rescale it in there.

Open both and try to match the new render size with the old one and you won't have trouble.

I tried that whilst I was waiting for a response, got menu selection working! Looks great, just got to do match up screen! Great tutorial by the way

I'm glad it's working now  

Off-Topic... since you are using that render for Emma, have you found a Caw or Mod with her new attire?? i'm kinda tired of the outdated dancing gimmick

I was going to start making it, but I am unable to extract textures from her .pac using X-Packer (same with Dean Ambrose and I'm sure some other superstars), found a programme that does extract it but its in a way thats a lot harder (everything together on one file rather than top, bottoms etc separated). Left a message on Tekken's thread, hopefully he'll get back to it. Also looked for current Emma titantron, can't find it anywhere, may have to use a custom one until her current one gets put out.

Done it and its still stretched  if you happen to have Emma's original stuff I'd appreciate having it so I could start over, pretty sure I've messed up aha

When I click on uncompress on the file 0001  I have an error, what is it? How to solve it??

[hossam morsy]

any way to do it with HxD

[LexRed]

Is it possible to do this without Xpacker? (if not, maybe in the future?)

[TBM]

Is it possible to do with Photoshop? Usually DDS files work fine with PS, but it's coming up as black with this.

 

EDIT: Can you also explain what the different types are used for?

Any idea how to inject the render using HxD @robbie686?

WITHOUT X-PACKER??

[Genericho™]

WITHOUT X-PACKER??

Relax bro,people are still trying to find a way.

Ok folks so many questions about adding renders for modded superstars in 2K16 - The answer is simply at this point in time it cant be done - However the key behind it all is finding what is linking the modded .pac files to the dummy.dds file * The Blank Render * i have spent months trying to solve this but seem to be running around in circles. Perhaps between @pozzum & @tekken57 they could figure something out?

I assume the logic is in the executable i.e check if a render exists for a slot, if not assign it the blank render. The renders are employing a string hash for the names. In previous games, the renders were named the same as the slot number e.g 100, 101, etc. The key is to figure out what string hash is used to generate the names of the render files. If anyone has any ideas in this regard, post it.

What about if we start with the CAW's as we know they are created a render. So i downloaded Vampiro from CC and opened his info in HXD but there's nothing in there that resembles .dds so i think Tekken is right its finding the correct string linking it to the render - or even if we could locate where the CAW render is saved to.

I also decompressed the main body file and put that into HXD to see if anything in there could have been linking it - I found Vampiro along with some more info on him but nothing that sticks out if anyone else can see anything?

I have 2 CAW - Vampiro & Billy Kidman - The renders must be in here somewhere...

I believe KG's tool allows you to use a modded render on a CAW. Why don't you compare the differences between the standard "CASADDT0000" and the same one with a modded render?

@robbie686 @jakeypearce

I just started a thread yesterday on my individual findings. I got the image extracted and viewable, but I'm not sure course of action for replacing and more importantly, recompressing.

Give it a look and let me know if I can help.

[4 Life]

Hi folks, hope someone can help me. I've replaced Bobby Heenan's render with Hollywood Hogan's from 2K15 as I've added Heenan to the main roster and then replaced him with Hogan, all working fine. The render though is a bit of a weird one - if I scroll upwards, then I can reach Hogan no problem and his render appears without a hitch. However, if I scroll downwards, the game crashes to desktop every time I reach Big Show.

Any idea what's gone wrong?
