These files can be installed directly via TheVisitorX' Custom Character Tools (recommended), or be manually imported into the game via tools like Cheat Engine or Xpacker. The Data Editor may also allow to set several options and option combinations for .pofo, .moveset and .team_info files that are normally hidden and/or inaccessible in the game. In addition, the tool implements a GUI based on the Universal Alternate Attire Unlock helper mod that allows users to unlock alternate Attires for up to 100 wrestlers and easily change which wrestlers have attires unlocked and how many each. Designed to work in tandem with Custom Character Tools by TheVisitorX to make modding easier and more accessible to everyone! This is a Beta version.

Extract all files and directories from the archive to a directory of your choosing (be sure that you have full Read/Write privileges for the folder and keep the file and folder structure in the archive intact). 3. Run the included .exe file by double-clicking on it (depending on your Operating System's User Account privileges it might require you to run it as Administrator/with elevated privileges which is most recommended regardless for all features to work). 4. Once the tool starts for the first time, you'll be prompted to point the tool to your WWE2k16.exe file. Navigate to the folder WWE 2k16 is installed in on your computer and select the WWE2k16.exe file. This is required for all the features of the Data Editor to work properly. 5. When you click buttons to launch external tools for the first time, you'll be asked to point them to their respective executable files. If you do not have the respective external tools installed, download and install them first (you can always click the "Reset External Tool Directories" button to reset the paths of the tools so you can set them again). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEINSTALLATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steps to Uninstall: 1. If you wish to keep your created/edited files, backup your \Moveset Files\, \Pofo Files\ and \Team Info Files\ folders. 2.

Multiple backups can be saved, as the backups get saved with time stamps appended to their file name. 2016.03.28: VERSION 2016.0.1.1 Alpha: + Added "Change Game Directory" Buttons to Wrestler Information and Moveset Panes. These will allow you to easily change your game directory in case you have set it wrong or moved your game. + Added some basic error handling including error message popups if the setting or changing of the game directory failed. + Added/updated/fixed some of the data file entries for various Moveset dropdown boxes (there is still alot to go and inaccurate, however). 2016.03.29: VERSION 2016.0.2.0 Alpha: + Added support to launch various popular external tools like TheVisitorX' Sound Injector, his upcoming Custom Wrestler Installer, Pozzum's Memory and String tables and more from within the Data Editor. When you first click a button for an external tool, you'll be asked to point to the .exe file. The directory will be remembered and you'll be able to launch the external tools from there. + Added a Button to reset the Path info for all External Tools. + Fixed the outdated Strings in the Attire Unlocker's description that mentioned wrong file names. They should be accurate for the current version now. + Added a fancy application icon. + Added a little color. + Created an .exe wrapper file in order to be able to elevate the privileges of some of the new features. 2016.03.30: VERSION 2016.0.2.1 Alpha: + Fixed the "String Table" button to link to the correct String table for WWE 2k16 (it was previously linking to the 2k15 version). Downloading the previously issued hotfix is no longer required. + Fixed a major, lingering bug with string parsing of wrestlers with names that included numbers. This should now allow wrestlers like "Arnold T2" to be saved with the correct values in the entire application, including the .pofo, .moveset and Alternate Attire Unlocker sections. + Corrected a couple of ID descriptions (still lots to go). 2016.04.02: VERSION 2016.0.3.0 Alpha: + Advanced Entrance Editor has been implemented and activated. + Move Editor has been implemented and activated.

Until then you'll have to set them manually in the game. + Experimental ability to load WWE 2k15 .moveset data, edit it and save it as 2k16 .moveset data. + Some Additions and fixes to ID Data files (still many more to go!). 2016.04.03: VERSION 2016.0.3.1 Alpha: + Slightly adjusted layout of the Moveset Editor section. + Added duplicate buttons for external tools useful to each section. + Fixed icons for the Advanced Entrance Editor and Move Editor popup windows. + Fixed a couple of minor display bugs. 2016.04.05: VERSION 2016.0.3.2 Alpha: + Fixed the scrollbars on Moveset pane that had bugged and vanished in the previous version, they are now visible and usable again. + Moved the buttons on the bottom of the Wrestler Information and Moveset Panes to the top of the respective pane, which should make them more easily accessible for users with lower resolution monitors. + Added more valid ID values for Entrance Themes, Titantrons, Minitrons and Walltrons. 2016.04.12: VERSION 2016.0.3.3 Alpha: + Updated most data for Wrestler IDs, Entrance Theme Music IDs, Entrance Animations and Winning Animations.

Mods in regularly available slots are marked with [] while mods in slots that require Pozzum's PacPlus are marked with <>. If you untick the box, the ID Lists will only contain the names of wrestlers, managers and NPCs that are included with the game by default. You need to restart the Data Editor after you change this setting in order for the changes to take effect. 2016.05.21: VERSION 2016.0.5.6 Beta: + Tools and Downloads: Added Button to start Shader Mutator in the Launch External Tools and Programs column and a button for the Shader Mutator Info and Download in the Downloads and other Links column. + General: Tweaked the code a little bit to improve performance slightly. + General: Added more Mod names. 2016.06.10: VERSION 2016.0.5.7 Beta: + Moveset: Added "Entrance Media Workarounds" section to the right of the Entrance Media section.

Please use it, test it and help me to improve the program by reporting any bugs or issues you may encounter in the thread link below. In addition, some of the data used may not be accurate. Please contact me if you wish to provide an accurate, up-to-date list for the various dropdown boxes. Thank you very much! You can find the latest version of the Tool, give feedback, report bugs and discuss it at the following URL: The tool is written in Java, and comes bundled with Java 8u152 (aka 1.8.0_152) for Windows x64 bit. In case it isn't working for you out of the box, you might install a newer version of the Java Runtime Enviroment x64 bit to run (it won't run with versions earlier than 1.8.0 or 32 bit versions for compatibility reasons). Java SE 8 or later is required. Earlier versions won't work. If you wish to use the main version of Java that's installed on your system, you will also have to rename or delete the \Resources\Java\jre* folder(s) in your Data Editor directory, which contains the bundled JRE. You can download a compatible version at the following URL (jre-8u152-windows-x64.exe):http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html During the installation, be careful to opt out of installing any additional programs you may not want to use! You have to run the Data Editor with elevated privileges ("Run as Administrator") for all of it's features to work properly. This is due to it requiring access to various files and functions that require elevated privileges. The tool is intended to be used to edit and create Wrestler Information, Moveset and Team Info files for the official Steam version of WWE 2k16 listed at the top of this readme file. The tool has been developed and tested for that very version. Any other versions, especially cracked ones, are not supported. You can find information about how to use the .pofo, .moveset and .team_info files created with this tool with the game in the following tutorials: You may find all the up-to-date Wrestler IDs, memory addresses required to add the created .pofo and .moveset files to the game as well as other information in Pozzum's WWE 2k16 Memory Table (also available via "Memory Table" button):http://bit.ly/2K16Table You may find valid hex codes for all the "Name String Hex Codes" fields in Pozzum's WWE 2k16 String Table (also available via String Table Button):http://bit.ly/StringButton16 To use external tools like Sound Injector, Custom Character Tools, etc.. you'll have to install them separately, then click the corresponding button in the Data Editor and point it to the respective tool's executable. You can find links for many External tools in the Data Editor 2k16's "Tools, Info, Tutorials & Downloads" tab. COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS for integration into external tools: Valid command line arguments: -pofo "<absolutePathToFilename>\filename.pofo" -moveset "<absolutePathToFilename>\filename.moveset" -teaminfo "<absolutePathToFilename>\filename.team_info" -titantron -minitron -walltron -help Examples: "Data Editor.exe" -pofo "C:\Slot - 100.pofo" "Data Editor.exe" -moveset "C:\Slot - 100.moveset" "Data Editor.exe" -teaminfo "C:\Slot - 1.team_info" "Data Editor.exe" -pofo "C:\Slot - 100.pofo" -moveset "C:\Slot - 100.moveset" "Data Editor.exe" -moveset "C:\Slot - 100.moveset" -pofo "C:\Slot - 100.pofo" "Data Editor.exe" -moveset "C:\Slot - 100.moveset" -pofo "C:\Slot - 100.pofo" -teaminfo "C:\Slot - 5.team_info" To display the Tools & Help section of the Data Editor right at startup, use the following parameter: "Data Editor.exe" -help ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KNOWN ISSUES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The tool is designed for monitors with a vertical resolution of 1080 pixels. If your monitor has a lower native resolution, the tool may not display all GUI elements properly, most prominently the Load/Reset/Readme/Save buttons on the bottom. Windows (and possibly other OS) DPI and font scaling isn't supported and could lead to GUI elements being cut off, layed over each other or being shoved outside of the visible GUI window. Workaround: Set DPI Scaling and "Display Settings->Change size of text, apps and other items" to 100% (or 96DPI or "Smaller" depending on OS version) in Windows. - The tool currently requires you to pick the game's .exe file in the directory WWE 2k16 is installed in order to work properly. - The Data Editor currently doesn't warn you about settings that are incompatible with each other, such as assigning the same Ability (of different or same level) to different slots or assigning Skills that are mutually exclusive. It also allows Hit Point percentages to be set below or above the threshold selectable in-game. - The GUI Layout isn't ideal. - Error handling is still very basic. - Scrollbars are always enabled in the Wrestler Information Editor and Moveset Editor tabs. - Scrollbars currently do not work in the Tag Team and Stable Editor or Tool, Help, Tutorials, Info & Downloads tabs. - The Alternate Attire Unlocker only works properly with the misc file from the Universal Alternate Attire Unlock 2k16 or misc files based on it (the tool includes an installer if needed) or compatible versions. Trying it with other versions could mess up the files and game. - Using the Alternate Attire Unlocker GUI currently always sets all attire names to Wrestlemania - Wrestlemania 10 (or Attire 1 - 10 with the string.pac from the Universal Alternate Attire Unlock or the recommended Future Proof String installed) as per Universal Alternate Attire Unlock conventions. Hex codes for custom attire names and original attire names are overwritten whenever you apply your changes in the Attire Unlocker GUI included in the Data Editor. - Various ID lists from the dropboxes are not complete, use WWE 2k15 names as placeholders. They will be updated gradually. Feel free to help! - Windows 10 64 bit is the only supported operating System, but it should likely also work with Windows 7 and 8. The tool might not work correctly under Linux, Unix and other operating systems, however. - The Tag Team Editor doesn't check if you have duplicate Tag Team Members or if your Teams have Members 1 and 2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CREDITS AND THANKS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to everyone that enjoys modding and has released mods or will release them in order to improve the game for everyone as well as those that have posted various tutorials and resources for modders to use!

Cave Waverider Posted March 27, 2016 Author Posted March 27, 2016 Data Editor for WWE 2k16 Tutorials Tutorials for the Data Editor will be posted here. If you've created a Tutorial for the Data Editor 2k16, please reply with a link and I'll post it here if it's good. Feel free to also follow the text tutorials and create video tutorials based on them. I'll gladly post them here, too. Please always use the latest version of the Data Editor with the latest Data Update (if applicable) and check the top post for updates frequently as older versions may be lacking some or many of the features described here, have bugs or work differently. Using the Wrestler Information Editor to create and edit .pofo files: Reveal hidden contents Text Tutorial by Caveman: Reveal hidden contents Using the Wrestler Information Editor [.pofo]1. Star the Data Editor and Click on the "Wrestler Information Editor [.pofo]" Tab. In this tab you will be able to create or load and edit Wrestler Information files.2. Click on the "Load full .pofo file" button and select an existing .pofo file for your wrestler and click "Open". If you do not have an existing .pofo file for your wrestler, either load one of the Templates from the Templates folder (which contains the original, umodified .pofo files of all Wrestlers in the game) that you feel is closest to the wrestler you wish to install, or cancel the loading and fill in all the data yourself. Note that the Data Editor for WWE 2k16 will also load WWE 2k15 .pofo files and convert them to WWE 2k16 when saved. This functionality is experimental, however, and it may not always work properly.Basic Information3. Under "Basic Information" click on the "Wrestler ID" Dropdown box and select the ID of the wrestler you wish to install. The ID is usually a numeric value XXX in the name of your wrestler mod's chXXX(YZ).pac file. If you aren't certain which ID to use, click on the "Memory Table" button. This will bring up the Memory Table for WWE 2k16 in your browser. Click on the Table and Search for your Wrestler's name (CTRL+F in most browsers). Once it's found, look in the same row in the Column "L" labelled "DEFAULT PACH" next to the wrestler name. This will be the ID to use for your wrestler which you should select in the Data Editor's "Wrestler ID" box.Note that the Wrestler ID needs to be the same for the .pofo and .moveset files as well as the ch*.pac file.Name String Hex Codes4. Under "Name String Hex Codes" there are four fields. These fields accept the Hex code that point to the value of Strings in the string.pac file. The .pofo files that come with mods or are found in the WWE 2k16 Moveset/Pofo Database should already have them set correctly. It's still a good idea to double-check if the codes are correct. Note that you will have to install the Future-Proof String for many custom names for mods to work properly (you can either install the Future-Proof String as part of the Universal Alternate Attire Unlocker installer included in the Data Editor or go to the "Tools, Help, Tutorials, Info & Downloads" tab in the Data Editor and click on the "Future-Proof String Info and Download" button in the "Downloads and other Links" column to download the latest version of the Future-Proof String).To find out which value to use for your wrestler, click on the "String Table" button next to the fields. This will open the String Table in your browser. Click on the table and search for the Name of your wrestler. Once it's found, look in the same row in the column "A" labeled "Address". There you fill find the four-digit hexadecimal value code. Copy and paste it into the "Name field" of the Data Editor. You can also paste the same or a different code into the "Short Name", "Entrance Name" and "Social Account" fields or leave them blank. If you leave them blank, "Short Name" and "Entrance Name" will automatically be filled with the same value of "Name" and the "Social Account" will be set to an empty string and thus won't show up in the game.Basic Information continued5. Select the "Unlock status" you wish to use for your Wrestler. You can choose between "Unlocked", which you'll want to set in most cases as this will make your wrestler fully usable/playable, "Locked" (the wrestler won't be usable in the game) and "Manager", which will make the wrestler appear in the Manager tab and only be usable as a manager.6. The "Set as DLC" tab will allow you to make the game believe the wrestler is either a normal wrestler that comes with the base game or a Superstar that came as Downloadable Content. Set this to "Yes" if you want the wrestler to be selectable via the "Downloaded Superstars" Menu or "No" if you want the wrestler to be selectable in the regular "Superstars" menu during characters selection in the game.7. The "Height" field allows you to set the height of your wrestler in feet and inches. Choose the appropriate value. If you are unsure which height your wrestler has, you can search the internet for the wrestler's wiki page which usually contains the height or some other website.8. Select the Wrestler's "Weight Class". This class affects the maximum values of a wrestler's attributes (you can still exceed them in the Data Editor which isn't possible in the game, but it will work), if they can contend for light heavyweight/cruiserweight titles or if they can use the "Ring Breaker" Skill ("Super-Heavyweight" only).9. The "Gender" Dropbox will allow you to choose between "Male" or "Female". "Male" wrestlers are able to be hit by anyone and can bleed, while "Female" wrestlers can't bleed and "Male" wrestlers will be disqualified if they hit them (You can set your female wrestlers to "Male" with this so you can have intergender matches).Crowd Signs11. Click the "Crowd Signs" button to open the Crowd signs window.12. Choose four crowd signs. These will be held up by your wrestler's fans.13. Click OK.My WWE14. The "Brand" dropbox allows you to set the brands your wrestler will be part of in "MyWWE". Note that this isn't settable via .pofo file for Universe mode in WWE 2k16, so you'll have to do that manually in the game.15. Set the desired "Crowd Reaction" for MyWWE. You can choose between "Cheer" and "Boo", which will affect whether the crowd cheers or boos your wrestler in Exhibitions, My Career and whatever else is affected by MyWWE settings.WWE Universe Mode12. Set the desired "Crowd Reaction" for Universe Mode. You can choose between "Cheer" and "Boo", which will affect whether the crowd cheers or boos your wrestler in Universe Mode.Abilities16. Set your wrestler's desired "Abilities". Note that you can't choose the same Ability Type more than once or one will be removed upon saving.Personality Traits17. Set your wrestler's desired "Personality Traits" which will affect AI behavior of the wrestler. The values beginning with "+" are positive traits, the values beginning with "-" are negative traits. Note that these are only valid for MyWWE, as Universe mode uses a dynamic system.Hit Points18. Set the Hit Points for "Head", "Body", "Arms" and "Legs" via the respective sliders. Make sure that the total "Hit Point Percentage:" is "100%" before you save it or it could lead to oddities in the game.Attributes19. Set the "Attributes" for your wrestler. The Data Editor allows you to set the values that you can't set in the game due to weight class or other restrictions. Note that even the values that are deemed "invalid" by the game actually work, as long as you don't edit them in the game, in which case they will be reset to a legal value.Skills20. Set the "Skills" you wish your Wrestler to have or not have by ticking or unticking the appropriate checkboxes. Note that "Ring Breaker" will only work if your wrestler's "Weight Class" is set to "Super-Heavyweight". "Apron DDT" and "Apron Superplex" are mutually exclusive. Choose only one or the game will deactivate one of them. Same goes for the mutually exclusive group of "Outside Superplex", "Super Dropkick" and "Torpedo DDT".Saving the .pofo file21. Click the "Save .pofo file" button to save your work. The Wrestler information will now be saved in the "\Data Editor 2k16\Pofo Files\" directory under the name "Slot - <wrestlerID>.pofo".Installing the .pofo file into the game22. If you have the free Custom Character Tools installed, you can simply click the "Install .pofo via CCT" button to save the .pofo file, send it to CCT and proceed to install it while the game is running and in the main menu (see the appropriate guide for more details). This is the easiest way to install a .pofo file.Alternatively, you can install the saved .pofo file created/edited in the Data Editor manually using tools like Cheat Engine or the commercial X-Packer, which is a bit more complicated.Addendum 1: Loading parts of .pofo filesA1.1. Before you do this, it is highly recommended to use the "Load full .pofo file" button to load a template to work with first.A1.2. Click the "Load select .pofo Parts" button to bring up the "Pofo Editor: Load Pofo Parts" Window.A1.3 Tick the boxes of the parts you wish to load from a .pofo file and untick the boxes of the parts you do not wish to load.A1.4. Click the "Choose .pofo file to load the parts selected above from" button.A1.5. Choose the .pofo file you wish to load the selected parts from and click "Open".Addendum 2: Reset InformationA2.1.

Note that the Data Editor for WWE 2k16 will also load WWE 2k15 .moveset files and convert them to WWE 2k16 when saved. This functionality is experimental, however, and it may not always work properly.Basic Moveset Information3. Under "Basic Moveset Information" click on the "Wrestler ID" Dropdown box and select the ID of the wrestler you wish to install. The ID is usually a numeric value XXX in the name of your wrestler mod's chXXX(YZ).pac file. If you aren't certain which ID to use, click on the "Memory Table" button. This will bring up the Memory Table for WWE 2k16 in your browser. Click on the Table and Search for your Wrestler's name (CTRL+F in most browsers). Once it's found, look in the same row in the Column "L" labelled "DEFAULT PACH" next to the wrestler name.

Note that the Wrestler ID needs to be the same for the .moveset and .pofo files as well as the ch*.pac file.Attires4. Under "Attires" choose the attire that is selected by default. This requires Alternate Attires to be unlocked for this wrestler via the "Unlock Alternate Attires" button (explained in a separate tutorial).Entrance Media5.

If you want the selected Entrance Music for your wrestler to play during the entrance and after the Match with any Attire, tick the checkbox labelled "Force selected Entrance and Winning Music for all Attires". By default, the game doesn't play music for many wrestlers or attires added via mods, so it's generally a good idea to tick this box. Please read the warning message in the Data Editor once you tick that box for some important information about this experimental feature and it's potential side-effects.10. If you want the selected Titantron Video for your wrestler to play after the Match with any Attire, tick the checkbox labelled "Force selected Titantron Video for all Attires". The game doesn't play Trons for some default wrestlers or attires added via mods, so it might be a good idea to tick this box if you experience such issues.

Select the ID of the "Championship Entrance" animation to use. This entrance will be used for the Wrestler if she or he holds a championship, no matter if the Advanced Entrance is enabled or not.Winning Animations15. Under "Winning Animations", set the "Winning Animation" for the wrestler. This is the animation that will play when the wrestler wins a match.16. Set the "Champion Winning" animation for the wrestler. This animation will play after winning a Championship match. If you do not set this, the game will use the default animation instead. The IDs for the actual Championship Winning animations with belts start at 9000, although the Data Editor will allow you to use a regular one without a belt as well.Advanced Entrance17. If you do not wish to use any of the basic entrances and want to customize your "Advance Entrance" for your wrestler instead, please tick the "Advanced Entrance Enabled" checkbox. Note that Advanced Entrances may have some issues with theme music either not playing, playing multiple times, starting late, not stopping, etc., which is a bug with the game.18. Click the "Intro", "Stage", "Ramp", "Ring-In" and "Ring" buttons to bring up the Advanced Entrance Editor window for the respective part of the Advanced Entrance.19. Select the motion/Animation for the selected Advanced Entrance part. Note that some of the ones in the dropdown list that aren't usually available in the game may not work properly or even crash the game, some others may work, though.20. If you wish to display the Nameplate during this phase of the Entrance, tick the "Display Entrance Nameplate" checkbox. This will enable the timeline slider below it. Set the slider to a frame number (30 frames/1 notch = approximately 1 second depending on your framerate in the game). Note that you can only set the nameplate to show up in one Entrance part. So choose wisely.21. Set the "Lighting" for the Entrance part and choose the time in the timeline where each "Lighting" should begin (30 frames/1 notch = approximately 1 second depending on your framerate in the game). Note that the Data Editor will allow you to set up to five Lighting types per entrance part, but since you can only set two per entrance part in the game setting more than two could lead to adverse side effects like lag or even crashes.22. Set the "Pyrotechnics" for the Entrance part and choose the time in the timeline where each "Pyro" should begin (30 frames/1 notch = approximately 1 second depending on your framerate in the game). Note that the Data Editor will allow you to set up to five Pyro types per entrance part, but since you can only set two per entrance part in the game setting more than two could lead to adverse side effects like lag or even crashes.23.

Click on one of the buttons "Standard Actions", "Corner", "Running", "Standing Strikes", "Rope", "Tag Team", "Standing Grapples", "Apron", "Weight Detection", "Ground", "Diving", "Special Moves" to edit/set various parts of the moveset of your wrestler.26. Select Moves and actions for each Move Type/Action type. Do not forget to set any moves or using the wrestler with this .moveset may freeze, crash or lead to other problems in the game, thus it's recommended to load the Moves from an existing .moveset Template file (click the "Load select .moveset Parts" buton and untick everything but the "Moves" checkbox, then click "Choose .moveset file toload the parts selected above from") and edit those slightly instead. Note that you can select all Moves for all move types in the Data Editor. There are no restrictions or checks in place if the move actually works in the selected slot. Be careful which moves you set, as some might lead to wierd behavior. It is generally recommended to set the moves with the in-game moveset editor, export the .moveset via CCT and only make smaller changes to Moves themselves with the Data Editor instead).27. Click "OK" when you're done setting the moves in this window and repeat steps 25. - 27. for the other move buttons.Saving the .moveset file28. Click the "Save .moveset file" button to save your work. The Moveset will now be saved in the "\Data Editor 2k16\Moveset Files\" directory under the name "Slot - <wrestlerID>.moveset".Installing the .moveset file into the game29.

Video Tutorial by Pozzum: Reveal hidden contents Note: The "Data Editor" for WWE 2k16 is referred to as the "Wrestler Information and Moveset Creator", which was the name in the alpha version, in this video as it's based on an alpha version, or informally as "Cave's Tool". While the look and button placements may have changed slightly since then, the basic process should still be the same with the latest version of the Data Editor, however. Using the Tag Team and Stable Editor to create and edit .team_info files: Reveal hidden contents Text Tutorial by Caveman: Reveal hidden contents Using the Tag Team and Stable Editor [.team_info]1. Click on the "Tag Team and Stable Editor [.team_info]" Tab. In this tab you will be able to create or load and edit Team Info files.2. Click on the "Load .team_info file" button and select an existing .team_info file for your team.

You can use one of the existing Titantrons/Walltrons or assign another ID if you wish to add your own tron for that ID yourself. Use the "Install Titantron" button to pass the Titantron ID to Custom Character Tools (=CCT, has to be downloaded and installed separately) which will allow you to install it (follow a separate Tutorial to install Titantrons via CCT).

This is the easiest way to install a .team_info file. Alternatively, you can install the .team_info file created/edited in the Data Editor manually using tools like Cheat Engine or the commercial X-Packer, which is a bit more complicated.Addendum 1: Reset MovesetA1.1.

Installing Wrestlers with Data Editor via Custom Character Tools: Reveal hidden contents Text Tutorial by Caveman: Reveal hidden contents Installing Wrestlers with Data Editor via Custom Character Tools The Data Editor for WWE 2k16 comes with functionality to install .pofo and .moveset files via Custom Character Tools. While Custom Character Tools can load and install these files on it's own, it's a good idea to go through the step of installing it through the Data Editor, especially in case you have downloaded your .pofo and .moveset files from somewhere and don't know if they are correct. Loading them into the Data Editor will let you verify them and using it's "Install via CCT" function (and thus saving them through it) alone may correct some errors in the files due to the built-in verification routines as well.1. Download the Data Editor for WWE 2k16 and install it (installation instructions can be found in the included Readme file).2. Start the Data Editor. If it's the first time you start the Data Editor you will be asked to point it to the game executable WWE2K16.exe. Please do so.3. Click on the "Tools, Help, Tutorials, Info & Downloads" tab.4. In the "Downloads and other Links" column, click on the button labeled "Custom Character Tools (CCT) Info and Download". This will open your Web Browser with the download page for CCT.5. Download and install CCT.6. Find a wrestler mod you wish to install, download and extract it somewhere and remember where.7. If the mod doesn't come with a .pofo and .moveset file, click the "WWE 2k16 Moveset/Pofo Database" Button in the "Downloads and other Links" column of the "Tools, Help, Tutorials, Info & Downloads" tab, search for the .pofo and .moveset files for your wrestler there and download and extract them if needed. If you can't find a .pofo and/or .moveset file for your wrestler, create them with the data Editor yourself (follow the Detailed Tutorials "Using the Wrestler Information Editor [.pofo]" and "Using the Entrance and Moveset Editor [.moveset]" posted here on how to do that) or load one of the many templates in the \Templates\ folders and skip to step 10..8. Copy the .pofo file to your "\Data Editor 2k16\Pofo Files\" directory.9. Copy the .moveset file to your "\Data Editor 2k16\Moveset Files\" Directory.10. Click the "Wrestler Information Editor [.pofo]" tab of the Data Editor.11. Click the "Load full .pofo file" button and select the .pofo file for your wrestler. Then click "Open". to load it into the Data Editor.12. Verify that all your .pofo file settings are correct and make changes if necessary or wanted (details on how to do that can be found in the Tutorial "Using the Wrestler Information Editor [.pofo]").13. Click the "Save .pofo file" button to save your work. The Wrestler information will now be saved in the "\Data Editor 2k16\Pofo Files\" directory under the name "Slot - <wrestlerID>.pofo".14. If you want to install both the .pofo and .moveset file together, continue to step 14. If you only want to install the .pofo file but not the .moveset file, however, click the "Install .pofo via CCT" button to save the .pofo file (it will be saved in the "\Data Editor 2k16\Pofo Files\" directory under the name "Slot - <wrestlerID>.pofo"), send it to CCT and skip to step 15.15. Click the "Entrance and Moveset Editor [.moveset]" tab of the Data Editor.11. Click the "Load full .moveset file" button and select the .moveset file for your wrestler. Then click "Open". to load it into the Data Editor.12. Verify that all your .moveset file settings are correct and make changes if necessary or wanted (details on how to do that can be found in the Tutorial "Using the Entrance and Moveset Editor [.moveset]").13. Click the "Install .moveset via CCT" button to save the .moveset file (it will be saved in the "\Data Editor 2k16\Moveset Files\" directory under the name "Slot - <wrestlerID>.moveset") and send it to CCT.15. If you haven't linked CCT to the Data Editor yet, you will be asked to choose the Executable of the Custom Character Tools. Select the folder where you installed CCT to and click on the "Custom Character Tools.exe" file and click "Open". This step is required only the first time.16. Custom Character Tools will now start and the .pofo and/or .moveset file you have sent with the Data Editor will be loaded in it. If you already have copied your wrestler's ch*.pac file(s) to the game directory yourself, skip forward to step 18. Otherwise continue with step 17.17. Click the "..." button in the "chxxx.pac files" field and select the chXXX(YZ).pac file(s) of the wrestler you wish to install. Make sure that the XXX in the file name(s) is(are) the same as the ID in the Slot - XXX.pofo and Slot - XXX.moveset file names. If not, then rename it accordingly beforehand. Click "Open". Don't worry about hex editing the .PACH file inside the .pac file, as Custom Character Tools will take care for it for you. Just make sure the XXX in the chXXXYZ.pac file is named correctly with XXX being the Wrestler's ID.18. If you haven't done so yet, check CCT's Settings->Settings to see if the Game Directory, Save Game directory and Data Editor directories are properly set. If not, click on the respective "..." buttons in the "Settings" Window to set them manually and click the "Save" button. 19. If the game isn't running, start the game (you can do so by clicking the "WWE 2k16" Button in the "Tools, Help, Tutorials, Info & Downloads" tab of the Data Editor or starting it manually via Steam or start menu shortcut), wait for it to load and enter the main menu.20. Keep the game running and switch back to CCT.21. Back in CCT, click the "Install" Button and follow the instructions on the screen.22. Once the installation is done, you can close CCT and switch back to the game and save it, for example by going to MyWWE->Edit Superstars and editing and saving the brands settings of any superstar.23. If you chose to install any ch*.pac files while the game was running, you'll have to restart the game, otherwise the game will crash when you try to select/play with the modded character. The game only loads .pac files when it starts. If you installed a .pofo and/or .moveset file(s) only and had the ch*.pac file installed properly before you started the game, you don't have to restart the game (but you can still do so just to be safe).24. Your Superstar should now be properly installed and usable in the game.

Click the "Tag Team and Stable Editor [.team_info]" tab of the Data Editor.4. Click the "Load full .pofo file" button and select the .pofo file for your wrestler.

Select the folder where you installed CCT to and click on the "Custom Character Tools.exe" file and click "Open". This step is required only the first time.8. Custom Character Tools will now start and the .team_info file you have sent with the Data Editor will be loaded in it. 9.

It's very complicated, as many move IDs as well as names are no longer the same, some moves are missing and it actually just might be too much work to code a proper conversion feature, so it might not happen at all, or very late in development. But I'll have to finish the moveset portion for 2k16 first before I even start worrying about that. It'll take a while, though, as figuring out the moveset properly as well as implementing it for proper loading and saving is alot of work and I don't know how much time I'll have on my hands since the Easter holidays are over. Then again, anyone that likes to may help me figure out the rest of the bytes in the .moveset file in the meantime, which should speed things up considerably.

There are unlockers that just unlock her, though. This tool is more about creating the files that are required to add wrestlers as well as unlocking alternate attires that may be installed. Check Pozzum's guides and trainers to unlock NPCs like Miss Liz to be playable. On 3/29/2016 at 4:57 AM, EZY said: thank you so much. I've always wanted an easy way to install mods like the nexus mod installer. thank youWell, it doesn't really install the mods, but it allows you to easily create the files necessary to install them. TheVisitorX' upcoming Custom Character Installer is already supported with this version, so once he releases that you'll be able to install it then click on the corresponding button in the Wrestler Information and Moveset Creator, launch his tool and use the .pofo and .moveset files created with the WIAMC with it to install the mods.

LexRed Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 It would be great to figure out how to use old move-set on superstars or even better on custom superstars because sometimes when they release a new game the change or remove some of those moves or develop new ones that we wish to have on previous games. That would be helpful on future games too. And sure, I will give it a try and start working on the "bytes of the moveset". Thank you very much for your work, Cave. Quote

Or just customs one?The theme doesn't matter.By the way, If anybody has the new Xpacker that supports the latest patch and would like to use it to extract all the .pofo and .moveset files from a fresh savegame (make sure to back your main save game up first, though), zip them up and upload them, please let me know. It would be nice if I could add them as templates for the tool and they should make it easier for me to figure some of the missing moveset information out as well.
