4 Life's WCW & Attitude Era Mods | 2K17 PORT PACK - New Age Outlaws, Ivory, Jacqueline, Albert, Godfather, Bossman, Big Show and Sid | PROBABLY CLOSING SHOP!


4 Life

Recommended Posts

So, I'm currently working on a long-term project that is a Monday Night Wars era patch, replacing everyone and everything possible to convert my game to a late 90's WCW & WWF theme. This is for 2K16, though I'm hoping all my current work ports over to 2K17 as I'm looking to finish the project up on that game if all works well. In the mean time, in this thread, I'll be uploading some stuff as I go - expect WCW & WWF Attitude era wrestler and attire mods, as well as some themes, custom renders, trons and other goodies here and there.

I highly recommend backing up your files before installing my mods over them - you are solely responsible for any issues caused with your game or computer by your installation of these mods (oh, I'm so stern!). Make sure to Follow this thread to be kept up to date on any previews and releases!


I know a lot of people drop a link on their mod page so you can donate to them if you want to, but I'd much prefer if you showed your appreciation for my work by upvoting my posts and dropping a comment, just so I know that my hard work is being enjoyed by others... nice incentive to keep uploading ;) Thanks for your support!

================================================

SYXX

This was my first ever mod and I decided to give it an overhaul for 2K17, since it needed work - also works in 2K16 so I've added updated the attire in the 2K16 downloads. This attire is from the July 16th episode of Nitro.

MENG - Alt attire for Haku

Wanted the hair a little lighter and less shiny on this one, but every time I tweaked the alpha layer in the normals it made them not show up in the game and when I lightened the hair it started looking thinner and thinner and I tried a bunch of stuff that just wasn't working... so I figured, it looked the best it's looked as it was last time I backed up, so I reverted back to that for this release. Also included theme and call name in the downloads archives should you wish to replace rather than alt.

KURT ANGLE - ATTITUDE ERA ATTIRE

Big thanks to tekken57 for granting me permission to use his model and textures from his 2K15 Kurt Angle mod - I've simply added hair and edited his face textures & normals to give him a younger facial appearance. Download in the links at the bottom as always! Also make sure you pick up this particular pofo and moveset file from the pofo/moveset database thread. Announce name/billed info as seen in the below video also added to the download archives, ripped from SvR 2006 and filtered and volume adjusted to sound good in game!

STEVIE RAY BLACK HARLEM HEAT ATTIRE

Just a quick texture-swap (and removed the funky entrance top) alt. attire, to make a matching attire to the black Booker T Harlem Heat attire as seen above. Pic:

DISCIPLE nWo

This mod comes with 2 attires - first one is the normal attire with entrance and ring attires (just glasses taken off for in-ring), the second attire is his manager attire so he keeps the glasses on as a manager.

Thanks to @tekken57 for allowing me to use his Sid jacket texture as a base as the buttons were perfect for this mod - I then added an nWo logo and gave it a leathery look.

This mod also comes with a custom version of the v9.0 Future Proof String file with the name added (you can call it Future Proof String v9.4 Life :lol), so install that for now and you can overwrite it when the next Future String comes out as the same string ID will be used. Renders and call name WEM files are also included for those that are replacing, the renders aren't amazing by any stretch but finding a good image to cut out was impossible and I did what I could.

VINCENT NWO

So when @Dennis-Bieser put out previews of his f***ing awesome Virgil mod, I requested an nWo Vincent attire. He messaged me to say that he's busy with other stuff but asked if I'd like to make it using his mod as a base. Being the big nWo fan that I am and how perfect his model was, I was happy to say yes :D

Included in this pack are - 2 wrestler and 2 manager attires; pofo & moveset; type A, B & C DDS renders; and custom audio for all his Lilian Garcia entrance names etc. in WEM format.

RIC FLAIR 10 WCW ATTIRES PACK

10 new WCW-themed attires for Ric Flair '91, WOOOOOO!!! Obviously, as I'm a Monday Night Wars modder, this pack covers the later 90s, namely from 1996-99.

These are the attires in chronological order - note that I've used the same robe texture on all attires so they may differ from the actual attire, but I've matched the colours and mostly the shapes, and the ring attires are accurate. If anyone has the time and the artistic skill (I don't have either) to draw the textures from scratch for some of the robes for a potential re-release of this mod then do get in touch ;) Otherwise, enjoy :D

1) Green, with yellow boots - Nitro March 25 96

2) Black, with red kneepads and jacket - Nitro June 2 97

3) Black trunks with red kneepads and boots, red jacket - Great American Bash 97

4) Black, with blue kneepads and jacket - Nitro Aug. 4 97

5) All red - Clash of the Champions 97

6) All red, red and gold jacket - Uncensored 99

7) Black, red and gold jacket - Nitro March 15 99

8) Black with red trunks, red and gold jacket - Spring Stampede 99

9) Blue, with black boots - Slamboree 99

10) Red trunks with blue kneepads and black boots, blue jacket - Great American Bash 99

UNDERTAKER WRESTLEMANIA 14 ATTIRE (V2 RELEASED)

UPDATE: V2 released. I wasn't happy with the head on the first version, as 2K had been really lazy in scanning Taker's head and then practically placing his baggy old face on 20 year old attires, but I didn't wanna lose the facial animations so I left it. With this update, I've used his model from 2K15 which looks much younger, transferred everything onto that, worked on the face normals a bit and now I think he looks much more accurate for the era this attire was from without losing the face animations :D

Dennis-Bieser created a retro Undertaker attire pack and I've been making room in my roster to cover Undertaker's WrestleMania 11-14 attires so his pre-Ministry era of the Attitude era is also covered. Dennis created on WrestleMania 11-13 (among other attires from earlier eras), so I still needed 14 and it was basically just swapping hair files and textures around (before the model update). As usual, click the images to view enlarged versions!

TRIPLE H 6 ATTIRE DX PACK

6 additional attires for Triple H '01, he has 4 attires by default so these will fill out slots 5-10.

Attires in chronological order:

RAW Dec 22 '97

RAW Jun 22 '98

Fully Loaded '98

Summerslam '98

Royal Rumble '99

RAW Mar 1 '99

HULK HOGAN WCW RED & YELLOW 1999 RETURN ATTIRE

Attire from when Hogan returned in his red & yellow get-up with his American Made theme on Nitro, in the 6 man tag with Sting and Goldberg vs. Rick Steiner, Nash and Sid Vicious. This pack comes with injectable theme and call names, titantron and renders! Shout-out to @LouEvil76 for allowing me to use his nWo Hulkster bandana textures as a base for this! Download at the bottom of this post as usual.

X-PAC 3 ATTIRE PACK RELEASED

3 alt. attires for X-Pac. NOTE: These 3 attires are, by default, set to overwrite the original attire. The bottoms of the original attire made by 2K look really shiny and silvery and they're just supposed to be white with a little shine, so I fixed that and tacked it on the end as attire 3 as it's chronologically last.

1) Over The Edge 1999

2K17 PORT PACK!

This will likely be my last upload on this thread, before I move on to 2K17 (though we're currently having issues adding mods to the game so if these don't get fixed by the time I have another mod ready to release, then I'll just release it for 2K16 and then port it to 2K17 later).

I've ported over 10 superstars for use on 2K16 - straight up ported, meaning all facial anims are intact :D I've also included their trons, and renders for Ivory and Jacqueline since there aren't any for those two in my renders pack - the rest I've already made renders for.

The pack is added to the main Character/attire mods folder from the links in the first post. Included are:

Big Show '99

Big Show '00

Albert

Big Boss Man '99

Ivory

Jacqueline

The New Age Outlaws

The Godfather

Sid Vicious/Sycho Sid

==========================================

90 Wrestler Render Pack

So, as it stands, I'm finished with all my renders for my project! As promised, I've packed them all up into a RAR file. This pack includes renders for 90 WCW & Attitude era wrestlers/managers in total, with a type A, B and C render for each wrestler/manager meaning 270 files in total, and are all in .DDS format ready to inject!

Some of these renders are naturally much better than some of the others as I've had to make do with what I could find in some cases, but if they were truly terrible I'd not have included them in my game. The majority of the original PSD images come from PSD Dreams, but a lot of them I've had to create myself.

If my roster ends up changing significantly and I end up doing a bunch more renders then I'll release a part two.

Very interesting stuff bro, may I ask you what are your next plans?

Well, as I say I'm building a Monday Night Wars era roster, replacing the current roster. You can see in the video that I've renamed the Superstars and Downloaded Superstars rosters to WWF and WCW and I'm moving wrestlers from roster to roster via pofo files - I'm aiming to have 60 wrestlers on each roster (though some of them will be duplicates, for example Nation of Domination The Rock and '00 The Rock). I've got a spreadsheet of which wrestlers I'm planning on replacing with whom and I've done most of my renaming via pofos and straight-up editing the game's text through the string.pac file, but I reckon the whole project is gonna take roughly a year as I've gotta inject renders, themes, announce names and of course install the models - just hoping 2K don't come up with a completely different structure of the game so it's easy to port it all when 2K17 comes out ;) I'll be using other people's mods in my game where I can, but I imagine there's gonna be a lot of attire editing that I'll need to be doing and maybe even some character modding, but I'm way off the latter yet as I've only learned to work with models and objects over the last few days.

Here's a rough version of my planned roster, may change as time goes on: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1omI-VCFZSJwH1bjnmDGP537kOKvFTDC2a8COzPLs_ZQ/edit?usp=sharing

Not bad for the first try, but i think the face looks a litte bit too old and he was thinner

he looked much younger in his wcw time.

maybe you can take that as reference

The nWo Logo must be bigger.

but nice start :)

Thanks man, yeah I've been attire modding for like 3 days haha so doing face retextures is a bit beyond me yet and restructuring his face to be thinner is WAY beyond me (plus I'd rather not lose the animations just to make him a bit thinner) so this was just an attire mod really, maybe I'll give this a revisit in the future. The shirt I was basing off of a different top altogether although in hindsight maybe the logo could be just a bit bigger, truth be told I've been screwing around with the shirt for the last 3 days learning how to do things and it got to a point that it was getting worse and worse the more I tweaked it so I drew the line at what you see here. I've learned a lot over the past few days though and my efficacy will improve :)

Any plan Big bubba rogers and stevie ray?

Possibly, if a part of my roster doesn't go to plan then invariably I'll look for other options and he'd just be an attire mod for Boss Man. Might do an nWo Stevie at some point but who knows, it's not high on my priority list at all, truth be told.

Nice work man :) Your pofo and moveset slot reads 666, yet I can't find that in the memory table. Just wanted to know if the game still reads it fine? That'd make our number of slots limitless :D

Nope :wacko: I really should have tested it, I just assumed anything in the Data Editor is fair game but apparently not!

EDIT: Tested and working in slot 500, and reuploaded. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, buddy :)

nice work on man if u want any attitude era mods for this project just send me a pm. 

Thanks man, yeah sometimes soon I'm gonna go on a pac downloading binge and download a bunch of mods for my game and yours is one of the first threads I'm gonna raid (after dropping a like and a comment of course), awesome work on that thread mate :) I have no idea if this is a project that I plan on releasing for download in the future as of yet but if it does pan out that way, I'll have used several people's mods so invariably I'll have a bit of a permission hunt on my hands before I can go ahead :lol

Awesome Work Bro Could You Also Upload Your Ultimo Dragon With Render And Annouce File Also Syxx Announcer Files

That Ultimo Dragon is @Ewan's mod mate, I just used the model and did the Kalisto replacement with with renders, announce sounds, theme and so on. But yeah for sure, when I'm at my PC next I'll put up the render pach files so people can either inject them with Cheat Engine into Kalisto or use X-Packer to extract the pac files and inject them into someone else if they wish. I'll upload the announce sounds as well for both :)

Awesome work...was just telling myself today that I really wanted to do a WCW Universe with the release of the Then Now and Forever Mod...keep up the work

That was actually the mod that inspired me to start a Monday Night Wars project. Before that I was just aimlessly installing a bunch of WCW guys and was sort of feeling like maybe I shouldn't be replacing the current roster as it just feels weird even though I don't use any of them. I'd given thought to maybe making a WCW mod but I knew I wasn't gonna squeeze 100+ WCW wrestlers out of that one :lol Then that mod came along and a lightbulb just went off and my modding had a purpose :D
