Nameplate graphics location?

[jakeypearce]

Hi there,

"As part of my conversion", I have succeeded in replacing the font that SD! uses on WWE 2K16 with the SD! '99 one from WWE '13, but I'm having no luck with finding the nameplate graphics. I read somewhere (here on ST. Think it was from Red Rooster) that games pre 2K14 stored nameplate graphics as DDS files. Could someone please help?

Thank you very much!

The nameplates in 2k14 are bik files, I think the ones from previous games were a series of dds files but I have no idea where they are.

In 2k14 they are in evtmov3 (i think)

Could they be stored where the font is?

EDIT: evtmov3 contains the locator files.

Found them.  They were in the PACH CARI, which was in MnLayHD. Extract that as a Pac containing directories. My issue, now, is how do I make that DDS a BK2? Do I follow what you did for creating nameplates in 2K14, Red Rooster? All I want is for it to fade in, show the nameplate for 4 seconds, then fade out.

Good to know.
