New Raw & Smackdown live arena update

[Robbie686]

Hey guys. Could someone create and update just to replace the RAW and Smackdown arenas to the new era versions. Be great if they could be done properly with match up screens etc to... Im sure it would be a top download for smacktalks if someone could get it done.

Well what im trying now is to swap the RAW GFX with a custom one, and create a New Raw Arena in Create A Arena (Summerslam 13) Stage. Sould be nearly perfect

Good job man Will you do the same once we have had a look at the new smackdown live arena?

Well i think its going to be difficult. Sportsnet 360 (Canada) showed a Smackdown Live Hype video. The end showed the Smackdown Fist. The problem with that is, that the fist is only availible in the 06 stage and not as a prop

For us modders though, maybe not so much lol

I've already made a bunch of new custom transitions for the menus, this could be a really decent community collab. 

Good luck getting transitions working!! Got the ones from Royal Rumble and for some reason only work when the match is finished so from match to menu and not menu to match. Searched around the forum and found a thread for 2K15 where someone had the same issues when he tried to do it for Smackdown's rebranding last year

Raw didn't look difficult at all from a create an arena standpoint. I think the only issue with it on a mod level would animating the half circle piece

I've been testing transitions for a few retro arenas and it's been working for me so far.  You need to export a video that has an alpha channel (even if it doesn't use it), and then convert it to a .bk2 file and inject it in the right file within the \pac\mov\transition folder.  000000.pac is Smackdown, and 000001.pac is Raw.  It should also be 1920x1080, 29.97fps, and can either have audio or not.  Also I think it works best when the first few frames use alpha/transparency, then a full image during the bulk of it, and a few frames with alpha/transparency again at the end.  Oh, and it probably has to be really short (like 2 seconds).
