2k15 ports WWE 2K15 Port Over Project: Blank Superstar Added

Any news on ERI's Scott Steiner WCW attires?

[Ecklesias]

If I download an CM Punk animation, how I will put on my game?

[Misho]

Pozzum could you port over Kane's entrance

[Zaykok]

Please convert DX entrance from WWE 2k15

[esbatmusic]

one thing is missing. Beside Taker (which I do have from 2K15) is Paul Bearer. I'd like to have it in my game...But I cannot find him. (That and the entrance would be awesome!)

Hey pozzum, I ported over Sensational (Queen) Sherri's WM7 attire from 2k15.  Right now it's on my mod page in a pack, but if you'd like I can also upload it separately to add to your Alt Attires listing.  Let me know if you think it's worth it.

[VBN]

Just a quick question here. In the main 10 files here, is the Hulk Hogan the current, Hollywood, or 80s/90s Hogan?

[Matt6sic6]

I recently installed the Hogan Mega Pack, after some tweaking I was able to install all 3 at the same time without Pac Plus by overwriting a slot and tweaking the String so the names read Hulk Hogan '88 and Hulk Hogan '02. The only problem I'm having left to deal with is the '02 Hogan's entrance. When he rips off his shirt, the color of the shirt switches from Red '02 texture to Yellow '88 texture. What can I do to fix this? I'm not 100% but I foresee the same thing happening if I choose to install any of LouEvil76's TNA attires. How can I make these shirts stay Independent and not reverting to Hogan's '88?

 put it in the evt folder

I don't plan on porting more entrances at this time.

I believe it's the current one, but it's been surpassed by the many others.

 it is a prop object so from what I know you wouldn't be able to get those to swapI to a different object for different attires unless we figured out a few other more complex things.

Same here when I use Buff Bagwell or Goldberg. (perhaps I should try HEX editing the Pac)

An entrance file and some winning animations override some of 2K16's files causing conflicts as seen in this thread.

Here is a fix.

What it does is move the clashing files to an empty slot.

I have provided these as separate files.

What I tend to do is have 2K15 stuff in its own folder in the pac folder, except titantrons which have to be placed in the proper folder.

Ignore the Audience Signs folder and the fact my ch folder is empty, I am working on something but you get the idea, this way you have all the 2K15 stuff separate and easy to add, remove and modify with.

It also prevents overwriting files.

Here are the evt files which are the entrance and winning animations.

http://www98.zippyshare.com/v/amznQ53q/file.html

 

Here is a look at what you will have with this file.

 

 

Here is an update for Data Editor, extract to Data Editor 2k16 > data folder and choose yes to overwrite.

This is so that you can see the 2K15 integrated entrance and winning files locations, it isn't essential but it does make things more convenient.

@Perfectplex

How would I go about replacing an existing entrance with a 2K15 one? Specifically, atm I'm trying to replace Konnor's entrance with Hollywood Hogan's. I assumed it'd be a simple case of taking Hogan's file, renaming it and replacing the Konnor file - his pac number is 414, so I assumed I'd have to replace file 00414.pac in the evt folder? Hasn't worked though, I play his entrance and it's still Konnors. No idea what I'm doing wrong.

EDIT: Ah, I assumed wrong. Just checking with Data Editor and his entrance isn't 00414, that's JBL's. I should be able to sort it now

EDIT2: Dunno WTF is going on. According to Data Editor, Konnor's is 509. So I replaced that pac file with Hogan's by deleting it and renaming Hogan's to match - Konnor's entrance still plays in Create an Entrance. I thought maybe it's shared with Viktor, so I replaced that with Hogan's too - still no luck. Am I missing something?

did you edit the entrance name in hex as well?

Sorry for late reply, the never ending problems with my pc and internet continue as I lost internet for 2 days thanks to BT and their incompetence.

As Pozzum mentioned you must change the ID within the pac itself, the pac names are actually pretty much for reference only, the game doesn't pay no mind to the actual names of the files for the most part other than their alphabetical reading order, what it looks for is the pach files within to store into memory and the ones it stores into memory are the ones with the last call. So if pach file 00405 is in A and B the game will read A then store 00405 from that but then it reads B and realises it has a 00405 too so replaces the former with the latter. If you then rename A to C it will read B then C and prioritise C over B because that is the last instance that it read into memory.

It also means the folder structure within pac is mostly irrelevant too, which is why I have my 2K15 files in their own folder and I also have a folder called zzMods, the zz is just to ensure it reads that folder last incase of clashing files and prioritises the mods.

Hope that all made sense.

Nah I didn't touch the code, don't even know where to start with it tbh. Any ideas? Would searching for 509 as an integer work?

[Perfectplex]

It should just be line 800, its basically just the placement of the pach file but you are renaming it directly via hex editing.

Just make sure you overwrite the bytes and not insert otherwise it will upset the offset of the rest of the file.

Scroll down this thread for a more in depth look at how to do it.

I was just sitting here thinking "I tried that last night but couldn't find the number, WTF have I done wrong now..." cause I hit Ctrl F and searched for the number and turned up nothing so just assumed it wasn't in there. I just thought about it though, I think where it was late and I wasn't thinking clearly, I'm pretty sure thinking back that I copied the Hogan file, renamed it and then looked in there for 509 instead of 413 I do some stupid shit sometimes. I'll try it again later, gotta work this time, cheers pal!

EDIT: Maybe I didn't do it wrong after all. Dunno WHY this isn't working. Deleted 00509. Copied in Hogan's 00413. Renamed that to 00509. Hex edited both values from 413 to 509 and saved. Got rid of the .bak. Still not working. Tried the same with Viktor's file, still plays his entrance too. I really can't figure out what I've done wrong lol.

Edited August 25, 2016 by 4 Life

[Perfectplex]

So if I have this right you are trying to use a copy of Hollywood Hogans entrance in slot 509 which is Konnors entrance?

Is there a specific reason you are going this route or just testing it? I just aren't sure why you wouldn't just assign Konnor Hollywood Hogans entrance animation via Data Editor.

Either way I will run a quick test too and report back, by right what should happen is I put Konnors entrance file somewhere safe to put back later, this can't be in the 2K16 game folders otherwise it will still read it.

So now Konnors entrance animation is missing,

Then I will copy Hollywood Hogans entrance animation (413) and rename it to Konnors entrance and change the hex code from 413 to 509.

In theory without needing to change anything else I should be able to fire up the game and choose Konnor and he will come out using Hollywood Hogans animation.

...

Edit

Worked fine, although his entrance theme didn't play but that could be a problem I've done regardless of his entrance animation.

Since I'm replacing a bunch of superstars anyway it'd be cool to be able to replace any unneeded entrances with those from 2K15. Also, I've replaced Konnor with Hogan and currently have Hogan's entrance applied via Data Editor but there's absolutely no way to get rid of the monochrome effect that way it seems, even when manually removed or some other screen effect is selected the monochrome always seems to override your choice. I was hoping that actually having the animations in the game might mean I'd be able to use the Hogan anims without the monochrome effect.

EDIT: Aha, just spotted something. When I use Easy Creation under CAE, Konnor's entrance has indeed been replaced. However, in Advanced, it's still Konnor's. Since I was hoping to get rid of the monochrome, having it in Advanced is what I wanted to see if that'd work. Am I out of luck here?

Edited August 25, 2016 by 4 Life

[Perfectplex]

Ah I see what you were going for, the problem is that the monochrome effect is called as part of his animation file rather than his entrance settings.

I guess you are going for a full overhaul of the game rather than adding stuff and don't need anything to do with Konnor at all.

I will take a look at the entrance file to see if I can find something that could be altered to disable the monochrome, you aren't the first to complain about that so it seems it would be a popular fix.

Yeah there must be a bit of hex in the moveset file or in Hogan's evt file that controls this, not that I'd have a clue where to start as my hex knowledge is fairly basic. But yeah, turns out the swap was working all along as per the edit above, just doesn't appear in the Advanced Creation so I'm guessing the advanced creation parts have different files.

Edited August 25, 2016 by 4 Life

[Perfectplex]

Yeah the advanced creation is made up of chunks of animations with the lighting and effects using their own chunks of files.

This is going to be very trial and error to find the monochrome effect but leave it with me and fingers crossed I will find the call for it and disable it.
