Render Files - Replacing 9999_dummy

[beastedot9]

I've done most of that, too. Could you elaborate on what you mean by string hash? I'm not familiar with that term/process.

The only thing I can think of to check is if from 2K15 to 2K16, the render references increased/decreased by a set amount and if it's translatable in any way whatsoever.

This probably explains it way better than I ever could

The whole idea of string hashes and XOR still confuses me to be honest but the general gist of it (as far as I can see) is that it takes a string such as 0100_therock, gets its hex value and converts into another hexadecimal value.  Could even separate it into 0100 as the first 4 bytes and then the name as the next 4. Like I said I'm not entirely 100% on it myself

Hopefully that link clears it up.
