FUTURE-PROOF STRING v9.0 --- Aussi en Francais...Je Suis Moutarde!

[Wrestling Guy]

If I get time I'm going to work on version 2 of the string tonight. I'm looking for two contributions from the community:

A) I've already received German and Spanish string versions, but if anyone else would like to contribute a version for other languages I'd love to add it in.

B) MORE name suggestions!

Can we have a french version please ?

I don't know modding sorry...

[olympic_hurz]

Hmm... I'm totally new in this modding thing and by now have one (maybe stupid) question:

Do I have to do something else as described in pozzums tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIyr2p1qg_Q), if i want to use the german string file? The download-link in the first post here contains only one file so I combined, the german "string" must be in there also. But do I have to pick different codes or something? I'm asking, because so far injecting pofo did not work... :-)

It's all the same string. It contains various languages but the IDs are the same for each. Make sure that you don't have a backup string file anywhere in your WWE2K16 file or the game will pick that up instead. Also make sure you are using up-to-date pofos that are designed to work with the string.

Thank you very much! Problem was the old string file and now i got punk in my game! :-)
Problem now is to insert the entrance animation, but im progressing... ;-)

I don't understand how to use this string in Italian ...... 

[OnyxRain]

I know this is a help question but it very much relates to this thread as it deals with move string values. So I hope it's ok for me to ask this here instead of the help section. If not then my apologies.

In the name string there are numbers for the names IE: 1028 = Ted Dibiase, 053a = Bryan Danielson and 0623 = Mike Tyson ect. My question is if I wanted to add my own names since I know I'm not going to add all those wrestlers and there are some I'd like to see that are sort of my own creation for my own Fed is there any way to figure out what their name translates into for the four numbers? One would be for example Kaptain Skitzo, Another would be say Wildman Bonedad. Just to give two examples. Thanks for any help.

I have added pozzum's string.pac and get ppv names for my injected pofo's. An example is I have RVD pofo in slot 256 and AJ Styles in 472. There names show up as Backlash 01 and Royal Rumble 01. It is very annoying as I am not sure how to fix this. I have injected with both x-packer and cheat engine but I get the same results. 

Help would be greatly appreciated 

it's not really a translation, it's more like a slot number.  you'd have to go and add those names to your string files, overwriting some of the names you won't be using. and using the string names associated with what you deleted.

Problem with that is the limit to the length of the names then in most cases. Most of the names so far in my personal string file match your chart as the name "Press Space". If what you're saying is the case then I'm stuck with making sure the names fit 11 characters? If that's true then the name Shinsuke Nakamura is way to long to fit in slot 483. I don't really know since he's one I don't plan to add to my own game.

There isn't an Italian version because no one has undertaken to make one yet. If someone wants to use my list of IDs to create an Italian version I will gladly add it to the string.pac file as I did with the German and Spanish versions contributed by kim666 and MinchoSheen respectively.

Find another string that is longer than 11 characters that is replaceable, and then assign that ID to your custom modded character using a custom pofo file. By replaceable I mean something that won't negatively effect other parts of the game. For example, you probably don't want to replace the names for menu items.

If you have no plans on using the custom attire naming scheme that I added in there I would recommend using those strings. Use @pozzum's string list and you will be able see both the modded string and the original string. The usable length is determined by the original string.

PS: I would recommend against overwriting Mike Tyson or Ted Dibiase. Dibiase is actually a default string that I just added to the list for quick reference, and Mike Tyson replaces all "The Enforcer" entries so changing it would effect Showcase mode.

[OnyxRain]

I actually like Mike Tyson there and I  wasn't planning to remove Dibiase. This still leaves me with a great dilemma since I really hate removing anyone from the game. I was hoping not to have to settle on CAWs but now it looks as if I may just have to do that which is a bother but nothing I guess I can't live with. The two names I gave are far longer then 11 so I'd need pretty long names and that would mean replacing actual superstars. Not really something I wanted to do but now it's something I will have to seriously think about.

Look at Pozzum's string file list. Like I said above, if you don't need the custom attire scheme you can replace those, lots of long ones. Start at 6BCB and go down. 

You don't need to replace. You can add. You just need to create pofo files that point to whatever string you changed.

I don't see any wrestler names there but I'll look at them vs the table then to see what he has to go by. Maybe I'm just missing something since these don't look like wrestler names I have things way off in my head. Thanks for the replies Lord Justice.

Adding a stupid question because I'm lost at this point on where those 4 digits are found on Possums table?

Pozzum's String

Basically each character consists of a pac file, a pofo, and a moveset.

The pac file contains the model and textures. It is named with the appropriate slot number, and copied into the ch folder.

The moveset and pofo must be injected into the save file using either CheatEngine or Xpacker. They are injected into the corresponding slot. So if you have a character named ch555, then your moveset and pofo must be injected into slot 555 in the save file.

The pofo contains the wrestler info. Part of this is the string ID. You can put any string ID you want here. That's the purpose of the future string. When characters are released the names will already be somewhere in the string, so all that is needed to use them is to have the pofo file point to the right string ID.

So for your custom characters you can put their names anywhere they will fit in the string (as long as you don't overwrite some text that will effect something else in game. Then you create a pofo (which you would need to create anyway), which points to the string ID you set up.

 

PS: You may also look at these strings if you never plan to use the MyCareer characters from 2K15:

6B0D	Flash Silva
6B0E	El Hondero
6B0F	Tommy Wall
6B10	Ray Rich
6B11	Zeus Tucker
6B12	Barron Blade

I probably won't use those since what I'm actually doing and always do with WWE games is use them to make my own Fed. I appreciate the help and pointing me in the right direction. Now I just need to wrap my head around this to make sure I got it and it sinks in so I understand it all correctly.

If I use this, I can't use Cave Waverider's attire unlock string at the same time? How do I install attire mods as multiple attires without overwriting the default one then?

Oh right I totally forgot, I can still use the unlocker just without its string file. I completely forgot how it worked.

[ElliotPi]

Anyone got the original string? I'm stupid and didn't backup the file.

[jcsix]

Just wanted to ask, is it possible for the modded strings to also have lowercases on match screen/arena nameplate, but still be in all capitals on the select menu? For example,

All the in-game peoples names appear in capitals on the select screen and most match screen/arena nameplates, but in some arenas (ECW for example), they are both upper and lowercase whilst the modded ones are all capitals.

All the in-game peoples names appear in capitals on the select screen and most match screen/arena nameplates, but in some arenas (ECW for example), they are both upper and lowercase whilst the modded ones are all capitals.

That is because the default characters in game use three separate strings. There are slots for uppercase, lowercase, and social media. We don't have room in the string file to do that for every character so instead, for custom characters, we assign the same string ID for all three slots. Therefore everything is uppercase, because that is how it is in the string. 

If you really need both upper and lowercase, you could do a custom edit of your string file, replacing names you won't need. Then you would have to edit the string ID references in all the pofos for custom characters you are using.
