PC Modding Discoveries

[jakeypearce]

I have been able to add winning animations to the game by copying The Rock's, renaming it to 6201, then going into a hex editor and renaming the 6100 to 6201. However, when I try to add CM Punk's winning animation from 2K15, it crashed.

[tekken57]

@pozzum, there is probably something in the exe which controls where to start and end reading slots. If you can find and patch this, you could potentially add more slots to the game.

 

@jkeypearce, which files contain the winning animations?

[jakeypearce]

The ones that begin with 06, ie 06100 is Rock's winning animation.

Ueah I've been looking into it.  I thought i found something last night but initial testing didn't seem to work i have to inject a few mods into those last slots to really test it which i was hoping to tonight.

 

Also i have to double check if theI caws are still 0-99 on the player select screen

Did anyone check if the CAWs occupy those slots before The Rock's?

that might be what's going on, if anyone is able to check that'd save me from checking.

OK, so I tried again, and the winning animation DOES work. However, it looks like some animations depend purely on the pac number. Where Punk would normally be talking to the wrestler who lost the match, the person who lost is not there.

Interesting, keep posting your results.

I'm totally okay with that, haha. Great work so far!

Successfully added Hogans winning animation without replacing anything.

I can confirm it works perfectly and can post a video if you guys want.

All that's left is to find the damn move anims to test the leg drop and comeback.

So I tried adding extra strings to the string.pac so it would be way more strings to use without replacing.  The game loaded and the strings were working, but it changed all of the addresses in the game to something not in my table.  I don't think it's worth because then it would be harder to share cheat table / address information. 

We have a lot of replaceable strings as it is anyways so I was trying to fix a problem that didn't exist.

[delifadzli]

quite great discovery, G3N0M3 hopefuly you would upload a video tutorial, really appreciate it.tq

[G3N0M3]

I think I finally found the animation for Leg Drop 4.

All moveset animations in 2k16 are stored in pac\ingame\motion

I need assistance from somebody with Xpacker to look into "mot03.pac" from 2k15 which can be found in the pac folder.

Inside that pac there should be an anim with an ID 33326

Let me know if its there.

Great work. Please type up how you've done this.

I agree, there are ton's of strings which can be replaced.

That's awesome news, had no idea the textures would work without mip maps.

Has anyone been able to look into this?

I just need to know if that anim can be extracted from "mot03.PAC".

[beastedot9]

I don't know if you guys will be interested in this (kind of known this since the beginning of 2K15 ) but the pac files in the edit folder, I believe that it contains models for CAW parts, I just have no idea what's going on.

Sample file:

https://mega.nz/#!IgJmSBwI!fWV8PZhCjc7wZrtECMZnxW9IXwNzt9wpkDEpPw4hrgo

There is clear headerinfo in the file which suggests its an object and there are various references to DDS. These can easily be extracted with a QUICKBMS script to extract all DDS textures as they do not open as texture archives.

There are also two ZLIB compressed files which I decompressed and saw that they have the same information as the 00C# files. There is also clear shader parameters so something is definitely going on. I've tried to convert it to open in x-rey but to no avail unfortunately.

I think @Cave Waverider had a list of all the moves in 2k15 so perhaps he can tell you want moves are missing.

There is 2E82 Running Leg Drop 4 in WWE 2k15 according to my moves list, although I'm not sure in which pac file the animation hides. Is that Hogan's finish?

Yes 2E82 is running leg drop 4 in both 2k15 and 2k16.

In 4 byte code that translates to 33326.

I can confirm through trial and error testing the anim is in 2k15 PAC mot03. My problem is you can't just swap and rename the entire motion 3 PAC. So I need someone with xpacker to go into mot03.pac and check to see if anim 33326 is visible and can be extracted. 

If it can be extracted all you would then have to do then is inject that anim in 2k16 motion 3 equivalent replacing 33326.

I see. You would want to extract the version from the DLC Hogan then, as that replaced the original Running Legdrop 4 animation (which I think was bugged) in 2k15, if I remember correctly. So the good one would likely be in a different .pac file in the respective 2k15 DLC folder

Renaming moves in createmode.pac works the same as before. I was successfully able to change the "Straight Edge" names to "CM Punk".

Interesting I was not aware that the original was bugged. This might explain why renaming the 2k15 motion PAC didn't work because I used the same process for entrance and winning anims which does work.

The game will load with 2k15 motion 3 PAC but the anim is broken. If the fixed leg drop 4 anim is in another motion PAC then it would have to be DLC60. The anim ID attached to Hogans pofopofo in 2k16 is still 2E82 (33326).

Somehow I missed this post earleir.

YES that is the anim.

can you please inject this file into

WWE 2K16\pac\ingame\motion

There should be a pac in that folder labeled "all_mot3.pac"

Then upload that PAC.
