**4 LIFE'S MODS** Latest update: May 27th - RANDY ORTON R.A. ERA ATTIRE PACK RELEASED!

[4 Life]

Welcome to my 2K17 modding thread! All my shitty mods will be posted here. This originally started as a Monday Night Wars roster mod, but as discussed in the thread, I totally lost interest in confining myself to one era and I'm also a huge fan of the Ruthless Aggression era, so there will be mods from this era as well as more WCW and Attitude Era mods soon!

I require no monetary donations - if you could drop likes and maybe comment on my work then that's good enough support for me!

I'll mostly be using shrunken-down images for previews in this thread - click them and they'll open in a separate tab in large view.

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

RANDY ORTON RUTHLESS AGGRESSION ERA ATTIRES

4 attire pack. I've modified the face normals on these attires to make him look a little younger as well as the attire update. This pack comes with theme & tron, renders and call names (that just refer to him as Randy Orton rather than "The Viper" Randy Orton") for those that are putting these attires in a separate slot.

1) Unforgiven 2004

2) New Years Revolution 2005

3) Summerslam 2005

4) Smackdown vs. Raw 2006

LEX LUGER WOLFPAC ATTIRE

Nobody's taken this on for one very simple reason - you can't add clothing objects to Luger's model! Ever since 2K15 and up to now, if you add tops, bottoms or tights to his model they glitch out like hell. I've tried all sorts, as have many others, but to no avail.

This has taken me a hell of a lot of work so far, because I've actually sat and textured his clothes on Obviously messed around with the normals and alphas to make them look as much like clothing as I could, rather than having them look painted onto his skin. The attire isn't 100% accurate as a result of this, but I'm pretty happy with what I have so far!

His top is textured on which took a LOT of trial and error, and I also reshaped his trunks and legs to look like some bottoms instead and then retextured them as jeans.

This will be released as an alt attire for Lex by default, but I've also included renders and a titantron and minitron for those wanting to do a replacement elsewhere.

JIM "THE ANVIL" NEIDHART WCW ATTIRE

This is his attire from the August 24th 1998 episode of WCW Monday Nitro. I wanted to have a WCW and WWF version of Jim in my game as seperate superstars, so this got done.

This download by default is set as an alt attire for Neidhart, but I've also included his call names, some renders and a WCW theme and tron for those that want to replace someone else.

BILLY GUNN

Very simple mod as requested by @esbatmusic and others liked the idea, as did I. This is his default attire, just with wrist tapes added as he wore them more often than not. This mod replaces his default attire. I'm looking at doing some additional attires also, but I thought I'd release this on its own as I won't be doing those just yet.

HULK HOGAN '99 WCW RETURN ATTIRE (AMERICAN MADE)

Huge shoutout to @laddanatorfor all his work on getting all the 2K15 Hogan stuff to work correctly in 2K17! I've used his hair files to update this mod and also helped me with some moustache physics issues. I would advise you to install everything from his POW pack (thread here) to get this mod fully working. Follow his instructions to install everything in his pack, then overwrite his PACs with mine and also install my theme and tron, and optionally renders and call name. NOTE: This will overwrite POW Hogan, if you want to add my Hogan in separately you'll need to change the slot in the pofo and moveset in Data Editor to install them into a different slot, then change the IDs of my PACs accordingly.

So...

This attire is from the night 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 once again for allowing me to use his nWo Hulkster bandana textures as a base for this!

VINCENT nWo

Same as last year, @Dennis-Bieser has passed on his awesome Virgil model for me to dress him up in nWo gear. Two major differences this year though - firstly, the head model, although great last year, has been drastically improved this year and looks life-like; and secondly, it has facial animations

As per last year, there are 4 attires:

1) Nitro August 04, 1997 (black jeans ring attire)

2) Nitro July 22, 1997 (black jeans manager attire)

3) Nitro February 23, 1998 (blue jeans ring attire)

4) Nitro August 03, 1998 (blue jeans manager attire)

Pics of ring attires (as usual, click to view full size):

Renders, pofo & moveset are included in this pack! The pofo & moveset was based on @WhereTheFdidTheEgo's versions for Virgil, so shout-out to him for that.

SEXUAL CHOCOLATE MARK HENRY

Mod ported from last year with some fixes, namely reshaped the collar to be more accurate, and removed the wrist tape since he didn't wear any most of the time.

Set as an alt for Mark Henry, but also included a theme and tron.

FIT FINLAY WCW ATTIRES

Couple of Finlay attire mods ported from 2K16, basically just hair and skin-texture mods as well as made him look a little older before re-releasing this, and also included a theme and tron. Attires:

1) Great American Bash '98

2) Nitro Oct 19th '98

RIC FLAIR WCW ATTIRE PACK

10 WCW attires, ported over from 2K16. This is set to overwrite the default attire too, cause who gives a f*** about '91 Flair when we've got '88 Flair as DLC Attire list:

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

Note that I used a base texture and stuck with the right colour scheme on all the robes as well as shaped the collars accordingly, so the robe might not be 100% accurate to the event in some cases but if anyone wants to do a texture update, then I'd happily re-release this pack with credit given where due!

NOTE: Ric's second attire slot is locked by default even after the Attire Unlock is installed. I've made a tutorial on how to unlock hidden attire slots HERE.

PICS:

Here's 1996-97 Flair titantron also:

https://mega.nz/#!t8xQXLQC!Z9QQZyigMf8kbg1dVC0pR0nYZpHM4w7dZG-eZzZa9xk

 

Just place it in the 2K17/movies folder allowing it to overwrite the existing file - make sure to back up first!

SYXX

Decided to give my first ever mod an overhaul, since it needed work. This attire is from the July 16th episode of Nitro.

UNDERTAKER WRESTLEMANIA 14 ATTIRE (w/ better head model)

WM14 attire ported over from 2K16. This attire uses his 2K15 model as a base, since his 2K16/2K17 model looks all old and shit. This is by default set as an alt for Undertaker '91, which means he comes out to the '91 theme but if he's set as an alt for current Undertaker then he wears a hat, which sucks cause he didn't in 2K16 if you removed the hat textures. If I find some sort of fix for this then I'll make updates or give tips accordingly.

BOOKER T WCW ATTIRE PACK

9 WCW solo alt. attires for Booker T. Attire list:

1) Default (not included)

2) Superbrawl '98 (white tights/black boots) vs Rick Martel

3) Thunder May 28 '98 (red tights and boots) vs Chris Benoit

4) Thunder Jun 4 '98 (black tights and boots) vs Chris Benoit

5) Great American Bash '98 (white tights/black boots/no gloves) vs Fit Finlay

6) Bash at the Beach '98 (white tights/red boots) vs Bret Hart

7) Saturday Night Nov 28 '98 (white tights and boots) vs Bret Hart

8) Superbrawl '99 (new black tights/red boots) vs Disco Inferno

9) Uncensored '99 (grey velvet tights/black boots) vs Scott Steiner

10) Nitro Sep 18 '00 (black trunks w/ black knee pads and boots) vs Sting

HHH DX ATTIRE PACK

These Attitude era DX attires are for Triple H '01 and will fill slots 3-8. Attire list:

1-2) Default

3) RAW Dec 22 '97

4) RAW Jun 22 '98

5) Fully Loaded '98

6) Summerslam '98

7) RAW Feb 1 '99 (WWE '13 attire)

8) RAW Mar 1 '99

X-PAC ATTIRE PACK - PORTED FROM 2K16

3 attires that I made for 2K16 - this literally ports straight over with no editing required, so if you downloaded this mod for 2K16 you may find it easier to copy the attires from your 2K16 pac/ch folder straight to your 2K17 pac/ch folder and it should work (obviously, X-Pac isn't in 2K17, so you'd have to install him separately).

Attires:

1) Over The Edge 1999

2) RAW May 31 1999

3) RAW August 9 1999 (Default 2K16 attire with improvements made)

 

BRET HART WCW ATTIRE PACK

This is my attire pack ported from 2K16 and updated - I used the HOF DLC attire (Halloween Havoc 98) as a base here, and did a bunch of retexturing using my textures from the last game with some tweaks - nice to finally have the proper WCW glasses for the appropriate attires! Also took this opportunity to add in an extra attire - Souled Out '98, Bret's debut WCW match, which I missed out on before.

These attires are set to alts for WCW DLC Bret and will overwrite his default attire - the Halloween Havoc attire is included, but it's moved to attire 5 so it's in chronological order. I've also included his actual WCW theme (rather than a weird knock-off as featured in 2K17) and also the WWF attire pack ported from 2K16. Just copy all the files into your pac folder and allow them to overwrite (make sure you back up first!).

Attires:

1) Souled Out '98 (vs Ric Flair)

2) Slamboree '98 (vs Randy Savage)

3) Fall Brawl '98 (War Games match)

4) Nitro Oct 19 '98 (vs Sting)

5) Halloween Havoc '98 (vs Sting)

6) Nitro Oct 18 '99 (vs Sting)

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

Monday Night Wars intro video {replaces the "Then, Now, Forever" intro video}

Thought I'd make this to get rid of that boring intro video when you first load up the game. Download from the "Other stuff" folder from the link above!

I am hoping we'll be able to add more characters than there's space for, as in, Pac + style, like last year... that and all the tools (NPC unlocker and whatnot).

Very exciting modding season starting soon indeed.

Thanks mate, yeah even though they're renders of the actual models I'm assuming they're still just static images that can be replaced, if so then even with the guys I'm keeping in my roster I'll be replacing the images with actual renders

EDIT: Well the PC version has literally just been released in the UK, downloading now and browsing through the files, it appears that the layout is very similar and there are clearly still folders for render files, so things are looking good

I'm in two minds about it really. Pretty much just gonna see if tekken goes ahead and works on the X-Rey update that includes functions to make it easy to inject different facial expressions into the model to basically create facial animations since he discovered how to do so. If he does then I'll have a go at just adding some animations to my Disciple instead, the face on Brutus is a lot fatter than Disciple since he got pretty shredded before changing his gimmick and his face slimmed down. Either way, definitely be making a Booty Man attire out of Brutus

@BeleeDatJust been playing as Bruti actually and his face looks alright, dunno if they've updated it or whatever but it seems to look worse in vids I've seen on YouTube. Probably gonna dress him up as Disciple for a mod re-release. Totally forgot that X-Packer 2K17 is out already Just sent my donation to @tekken57so whenever the program is up and running I'll see if I can start messing about with some stuff.

I've not got the new X-Packer installed yet so haven't tried it, @Cave Waveridersaid on the X-Packer thread though that there were all sorts of issues with the texture files atm so looks like we'll be waiting for an update there.

These are all set to just copy them straight into your 2K17/ch/pac folder. To unlock extra attires, you'll need to download the Universal Attire Unlocker and add Bret Hart to the file, if you find the thread in this section there's a tutorial in it too

X-PAC 3 ATTIRE PACK PORTED FROM 2K16!

See first post for details/pics. If you already downloaded these for 2K16, you can copy the files from your 2K16 pac folder instead of downloading as they work in 2K17 straight off the bat.

BOOKER T GREAT AMERICAN BASH 98 ATTIRE UPLOADED!

See first post for details/pics. Basically the Superbrawl 98 attire I made for my 2K16 attire pack but with no gloves, which just so happens to be his attire at GAB 1998 Only difference being the colour of his nosepiece. So I figured I'd make that attire as a placeholder until I get the gloves sorted.

Make your video - output as a WMV seems to work best.

Use RAD Video Tools to "Bink it", setting the output scaling to 1920 width and 1080 height.

Rename the filetype from whateveritscalled.bik to wwe17_open.bk2 and put it in the WWE 2K17\movies\menu\wwe17_movie\opening
