The Data Editor may also allow to set several options and option combinations for .pofo, .moveset and .team_info files that are normally hidden and/or inaccessible in the game. In addition, the tool implements a GUI based on the Universal Alternate Attire Unlock helper mod that allows users to unlock alternate Attires for up to 100 wrestlers and easily change which wrestlers have attires unlocked and how many each and which name strings is assigned to which wrestlers' attires.

Extract all files and directories from the archive to a directory of your choosing (be sure that you have full Read/Write privileges for the folder and keep the file and folder structure in the archive intact). 3. Run the included .exe file by double-clicking on it (depending on your Operating System's User Account privileges it might require you to run it as Administrator/with elevated privileges which is most recommended regardless for all features to work). Alternatively, you can also create a shortcut for it and place it on your Desktop or in your start menu. 4. Once the tool starts for the first time, you'll be prompted to point the tool to your WWE2K17_x64.exe file. Navigate to the folder WWE 2k17 is installed in on your computer and select the WWE2K17_x64.exe file. This is required for all the features of the Data Editor to work properly. 5. When you click buttons to launch external tools for the first time, you'll be asked to point them to their respective executable files. If you do not have the respective external tools installed, download and install them first (you can always click the "Reset External Tool Directories" button to reset the paths of all the external tools so you can set them again or manually modify them individually by opening the respective \data\Settings\ExternalToolDirectory*.data files with a text editor). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEINSTALLATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steps to Uninstall: 1.

Please use it, test it and help me to improve the program by reporting any bugs or issues you may encounter in the thread link below. In addition, some of the data used may not be accurate. Please contact me if you wish to provide an accurate, up-to-date list for the various dropdown boxes. Thank you very much! You can find the latest version of the Tool, give feedback, report bugs and discuss it at the following URL: The tool is written in Java, and comes bundled with Java 8u152 (aka 1.8.0_152) for Windows x64 bit. In case it isn't working for you out of the box, you might install a newer version of the Java Runtime Enviroment x64 bit to run (it won't run with versions earlier than 1.8.0 or 32 bit versions for compatibility reasons). Java SE 8 or later is required. Earlier versions won't work. If you wish to use the main version of Java that's installed on your system, you will also have to rename or delete the \Resources\Java\jre* folder(s) in your Data Editor directory, which contains the bundled JRE. You can download a compatible version at the following URL (jre-8u152-windows-x64.exe):http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html During the installation, be careful to opt out of installing any additional programs you may not want to use! You have to run the Data Editor with elevated privileges ("Run as Administrator") for all of it's features to work properly. This is due to it requiring access to various files and functions that require elevated privileges. The tool is intended to be used to edit and create Wrestler Information, Moveset and Team Info files for the official Steam version of WWE 2k17 listed at the top of this readme file. The tool has been developed and tested for that very version. Any other versions, especially cracked ones, are not supported.

You can find links for many External tools in the Data Editor 2k17's "Tools, Info, Tutorials & Downloads" tab. COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS for integration into external tools: Valid command line arguments: -pofo "<absolutePathToFilename>\filename.pofo" -moveset "<absolutePathToFilename>\filename.moveset" -teaminfo "<absolutePathToFilename>\filename.team_info" -titantron -minitron -walltron -help Examples: "Data Editor.exe" -pofo "C:\Slot - 100.pofo" "Data Editor.exe" -moveset "C:\Slot - 100.moveset" "Data Editor.exe" -teaminfo "C:\Slot - 1.team_info" "Data Editor.exe" -pofo "C:\Slot - 100.pofo" -moveset "C:\Slot - 100.moveset" "Data Editor.exe" -moveset "C:\Slot - 100.moveset" -pofo "C:\Slot - 100.pofo" "Data Editor.exe" -moveset "C:\Slot - 100.moveset" -pofo "C:\Slot - 100.pofo" -teaminfo "C:\Slot - 5.team_info" To display the Tools & Help section of the Data Editor right at startup, use the following parameter: "Data Editor.exe" -help ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KNOWN ISSUES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The tool is designed for monitors with a vertical resolution of 1080 pixels. The resolution of 1920x1080 pixels is recommended. If your monitor has a lower native resolution than the recommended one, the Data Editor may not display all GUI elements properly, most prominently the Load/Reset/Readme/Save buttons on the bottom. If you have a display with a lower than recommended resolution, you can try using DSR (Nvidia video cards), VSR (AMD video cards) or a Downsampling tool of choice to activate and use a downsampled vertical resolution of 1080 pixels. Inform yourself how you can utilize those. - Windows (and possibly other OS) DPI and font scaling isn't supported due to Java Limitations and could lead to GUI elements being cut off, layed over each other or being shoved outside of the visible GUI window. Workaround: Set DPI Scaling and "Display Settings->Change size of text, apps and other items" to 100% (or 96DPI or "Smaller" depending on OS version) in Windows. If text is too small for you with this, you can set Data Editor.exe's Compatibility Option setting "Override high DPI scaling behavior." to "System" in the latest version of Windows 10 or change your resolution to 1920x1080 and scaling disabled while working with the Data Editor. - The tool currently requires you to pick the game's .exe file in the directory WWE 2k17 is installed in order to work properly. - The Data Editor currently doesn't warn you about settings that are incompatible with each other, such as assigning the same Ability (of different or same level) to different slots or assigning Skills that are mutually exclusive. It also allows Hit Point percentages to be set below or above the threshold selectable in-game. - The GUI Layout isn't ideal. - Error handling is still very basic. - Scrollbars are always enabled in the "Wrestler Information Editor", "Moveset Editor", "Tag Team and Stable Editor" and "Tools, Help" tabs. - Due to certain limitations, there are currently no scroll bars available in popup windows. - The Alternate Attire Unlocker only works properly with the misc file from the Universal Alternate Attire Unlock 2k17 or misc files based on it (the tool includes an installer if needed) or compatible versions. Trying it with other versions could mess up the files and your game. - Windows 10 64 bit is the only supported operating System, but it should likely also work with Windows 7 and 8. The tool might not work correctly under Linux, Unix and other operating systems, however. - The Tag Team Editor doesn't check if you have duplicate Tag Team Members or if your Teams have Members 1 and 2. Ensure to set them manually to prevent possible crashes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CREDITS AND THANKS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to everyone that enjoys modding and has released mods or will release them in order to improve the game for everyone as well as those that have posted various tutorials and resources for modders to use!

Cave Waverider Posted February 9, 2017 Author Posted February 9, 2017 Data Editor for WWE 2k17 Tutorials Tutorials for the Data Editor will be posted here. If you've created a Tutorial for the Data Editor for WWE 2k17, please reply with a link and I'll post it here if it's good. Feel free to also follow the text tutorials and create video tutorials based on them. I'll gladly post them here, too. Please always use the latest version of the Data Editor and check the top post for updates frequently as older versions may be lacking some or many of the features described here, have bugs or work differently. Using the Wrestler Information Editor to create and edit .pofo files: Spoiler Text Tutorial by Caveman: Spoiler Using the Wrestler Information Editor [.pofo]1. Start the Data Editor and Click on the "Wrestler Information Editor [.pofo]" Tab. In this tab you will be able to create or load and edit Wrestler Information files.2. Click on the "Load full .pofo file" button and select an existing .pofo file for your wrestler and click "Open". If you do not have an existing .pofo file for your wrestler, either load one of the Templates from the Templates folder (which contains the original, umodified .pofo files of all Wrestlers in the game) that you feel is closest to the wrestler you wish to install, or cancel the loading and fill in all the data yourself. Note that for advanced users, the Data Editor for WWE 2k17 will also load WWE 2k15 and WWE 2k16 .pofo files and convert them to WWE 2k17 format when saved. This functionality is experimental, however, and it may not always work properly. You will have to go through the information and fill in any data that was missing in previous games or change any data that is invalid in the current game.Basic Information3. Under "Basic Information" click on the "Wrestler ID" Dropdown box and select the ID of the wrestler you wish to install. The ID is usually a numeric value XXX in the name of your wrestler mod's chXXX(YZ).pac file. If you aren't certain which ID to use, click on the "Memory Table" button. This will bring up the Memory Table for WWE 2k17 in your browser. Click on the Table and Search for your Wrestler's name (CTRL+F in most browsers). Once it's found, look in the same row in the Column "L" labelled "DEFAULT PACH" next to the wrestler name. This will be the ID to use for your wrestler which you should select in the Data Editor's "Wrestler ID" box.Note that the Wrestler ID needs to be the same for the .pofo and .moveset files as well as the ch*.pac file.Name String Hex Codes4. Under "Name String Hex Codes" there are four fields. These fields accept the Hex code that point to the value of Strings in the string_win.pac file. The .pofo files that come with mods or are found in the WWE 2k17 Moveset/Pofo Database should already have them set correctly. It's still a good idea to double-check if the codes are correct. Note that you will have to install the Super String for many custom names for mods to work properly (you can either install the Super String as part of the Universal Alternate Attire Unlocker installer included in the Data Editor or go to the "Tools, Help, Tutorials, Info & Downloads" tab in the Data Editor and click on the "Super String Info and Download" button in the "Downloads and other Links" column to download the latest version of the Super String).To find out which value to use for your wrestler, click on the "String Table" button next to the fields. This will open the String Table in your browser. Click on the table and search for the Name of your wrestler. Once it's found, look in the same row in the column "A" labeled "Address". There you fill find the four-digit hexadecimal value code. Copy and paste it into the "Real Name" of the Data Editor. You can also paste the same or a different code into the "Ring Name", "HUD Name" and "Social Account" fields or leave them blank. If you leave them blank, "Ring Name" and "HUD Name" will automatically be filled with the same value of "Real Name" and the "Social Account" will be set to an empty string and thus won't show up in the game.Basic Information continued5. Select the "Unlock status" you wish to use for your Wrestler. You can choose between "Unlocked", which you'll want to set in most cases as this will make your wrestler fully usable/playable, "Locked" (the wrestler won't be usable in the game) and "Manager", which will make the wrestler appear in the Manager tab and only be usable as a manager.6. The "Set as DLC" tab will allow you to make the game believe the wrestler is either a normal wrestler that comes with the base game or a Superstar that came as Downloadable Content. Set this to "Yes" if you want the wrestler to be selectable via the "Downloaded Superstars" Menu or "No" if you want the wrestler to be selectable in the regular "Superstars" menu during characters selection in the game. Note that if you set this for Created Superstars (CAS), "Yes" will make them appear in the "Downloaded Superstars" and "Custom Superstars" Menu, while "No" will make them appear in the "Custom Superstars" menu only (CAS can't be displayed in the regular "Superstars" menu).7. The "Height" field allows you to set the height of your wrestler in feet and inches. Choose the appropriate value. If you are unsure which height your wrestler has, you can search the internet for the wrestler's wiki page which usually contains the height or some other website. Note that the Data Editor will display the approximate/rounded in-between height value of loaded .pofo files. Internally they should still remain the same as long as you don't change them manually to one of the choices.8. Select the Wrestler's "Weight Class". This class affects the maximum values of a wrestler's attributes (you can still exceed them in the Data Editor which isn't possible in the game, but it will work), if they can contend for light heavyweight/cruiserweight titles or if they can use the "Ring Breaker" Skill ("Super-Heavyweight" only).9. Select the actual "Weight" in pounds. This will affect the billed weight during entrances as well as other things. Note that this setting is synchronized with the one in the "Announcer Settings" Window. 10. The "Gender" Dropbox will allow you to choose between "Male" or "Female". "Male" wrestlers are able to be hit by anyone and can bleed, while "Female" wrestlers can't bleed and "Male" wrestlers will be disqualified if they hit them (You can set your female wrestlers to "Male" with this so you can have intergender matches). Note that if you set a female CAS to "Male", it may cause leper/plague-like deformities (this is likely a "safety mechanism"/"easter egg" coded into the game in order to make male on female violence less attractive).Announcer Settings11. Click the "Announcer Settings" button to open the "Announcer Settings" window.12. Under "Ring Announcer" select the "Country", "State" and "City" IDs your wrestler should be announced from. Note that only certain combinations are possible and available State and City IDs depend on the selected Country and State respectively.13. Select the actual "Weight" in pounds. This will affect the billed weight during entrances as well as other things. Note that this setting is synchronized with the one in the main .pofo Editor tab.14. Under "Commentary", select the wrestler ID of the wrestler that the commentators should use for your wrestler for personal commentary if available. You may also change to an unused slot to disable personal commentary for this wrestler. WARNING: If multiple Superstars in your game have the same Commentary Name ID set you will only be able to use one of them in the same Match, etc.! Hence it's recommended to keep Commentary Names unique among Superstars and use the Wrestler ID or an otherwise unused Commentary Name ID.15. Click "OK".Crowd Signs16. Click the "Crowd Signs" button to open the "Crowd Signs" window.17. Choose four crowd signs. These will be held up by your wrestler's fans.18. Click "OK".My WWE19. The "Brand" dropbox allows you to set the brands your wrestler will be part of in "MyWWE". Note that this isn't settable via .pofo file for Universe mode in WWE 2k17, so you'll have to do that manually in the game.20. Set the desired "Crowd Reaction" for MyWWE. You can choose between "Cheer" and "Boo", which will affect whether the crowd cheers or boos your wrestler in Exhibitions, My Career and whatever else is affected by MyWWE settings.WWE Universe Mode21. Set the desired "Crowd Reaction" for Universe Mode. You can choose between "Cheer" and "Boo", which will affect whether the crowd cheers or boos your wrestler in Universe Mode.Abilities22. Set your wrestler's desired "Abilities". Note that you can't choose the same Ability Type more than once or one will be removed upon saving.Personality Traits23. Set your wrestler's desired "Personality Traits" which will affect AI behavior of the wrestler. The values beginning with "+" are positive traits, the values beginning with "-" are negative traits. Note that these are only valid for MyWWE, as Universe mode uses a dynamic system.Hit Points24. Set the Hit Points for "Head", "Body", "Arms" and "Legs" via the respective sliders. Make sure that the total "Hit Point Percentage:" is "100%" before you save it or it could lead to oddities in the game.Attributes25. Set the "Attributes" for your wrestler. The Data Editor allows you to set the values that you can't set in the game due to weight class or other restrictions. Note that even the values that are deemed "invalid" by the game actually work, as long as you don't edit them in the game, in which case they will be reset to a legal value.Skills26. Set the "Skills" you wish your Wrestler to have or not have by ticking or unticking the appropriate checkboxes. Note that "Ring Breaker" will only work if your wrestler's "Weight Class" is set to "Super-Heavyweight". "Apron DDT" and "Apron Superplex" are mutually exclusive. Choose only one or the game will deactivate one of them. Same goes for the mutually exclusive group of "Outside Superplex", "Super Dropkick" and "Torpedo DDT".Saving the .pofo file27. Click the "Save .pofo file" button to save your work. The Wrestler information will now be saved in the "\Data Editor 2k17\Pofo Files\" directory under the name "Slot - <wrestlerID>.pofo".Installing the .pofo file into the game28. If you have the free Custom Character Tools installed, you can simply click the "Install .pofo via CCT" button to save the .pofo file, send it to CCT and proceed to install it while the game is running and in the main menu (see the appropriate guide for more details). This is the easiest way to install a .pofo file. Alternatively, you can use the "Send to WWE2k17+" button to send it to WWE2k17+ or install the saved .pofo file created/edited in the Data Editor manually using tools like Cheat Engine or the commercial X-Packer, which is a bit more complicated.Addendum 1: Loading parts of .pofo filesA1.1. Before you do this, it is highly recommended to use the "Load full .pofo file" button to load a template to work with first.A1.2. Click the "Load select .pofo Parts" button to bring up the "Pofo Editor: Load Pofo Parts" Window.A1.3 Tick the boxes of the parts you wish to load from a .pofo file and untick the boxes of the parts you do not wish to load.A1.4. Click the "Choose .pofo file to load the parts selected above from" button.A1.5. Choose the .pofo file you wish to load the selected parts from and click "Open".Addendum 2: Reset InformationA2.1. Click on the "Reset Information" button to reset the information in the "Wrestler Information Editor [.pofo]" tab to the default values saved in the default.pofo template. Using the Entrance and Moveset Editor to create and edit .moveset files: Spoiler Text Tutorial by Caveman: Spoiler Using the Entrance and Moveset Editor [.moveset]1. Start the Data Editor and click on the "Entrance and Moveset Editor [.moveset]" Tab. In this tab you will be able to create or load and edit Moveset files.2. Click on the "Load full .moveset file" button and select an existing .moveset file for your wrestler and click "Open". If you do not have a .moveset file for your wrestler, either load one of the Templates from the Templates folder (which contains the original, umodified .moveset files of all Wrestlers in the game) that you feel is closest to the wrestler you wish to install, or cancel the loading and fill in all the data yourself. Note that for advanced users, the Data Editor for WWE 2k17 will also load WWE 2k15 and WWE 2k16 .moveset files and convert them to WWE 2k17 format when saved. This functionality is experimental, however, and it may not always work properly. You will have to go through the information and fill in any data that was missing in previous games or change any data that is invalid in the current game.Basic Moveset Information3. Under "Basic Moveset Information" click on the "Wrestler ID" Dropdown box and select the ID of the wrestler you wish to install. The ID is usually a numeric value XXX in the name of your wrestler mod's chXXX(YZ).pac file. If you aren't certain which ID to use, click on the "Memory Table" button. This will bring up the Memory Table for WWE 2k17 in your browser. Click on the Table and Search for your Wrestler's name (CTRL+F in most browsers). Once it's found, look in the same row in the Column "L" labelled "DEFAULT PACH" next to the wrestler name. This will be the ID to use for your wrestler which you should select in the Data Editor's "Wrestler ID" box. Note that the Wrestler ID needs to be the same for the .moveset and .pofo files as well as the ch*.pac file.Attires4. Under "Attires" choose the attire that is selected by default for MyWWE/WWE Universe Mode respectively. This requires Alternate Attires to be unlocked for this wrestler via the "Unlock Alternate Attires" button (explained in a separate tutorial).5. Under "Attire Type" choose the attire Type for your Superstar. "Regular Attires" allows you to select the default attire as explained above from Attires 1-10 (if unlocked via Universal Alternate Attire Unlock), choosing "Random Selection" will have the game choose randomly from all unlocked/available attires for that wrestler every match and the "CAS Slot X" selection will allow you to choose attire 1 or 2 from the selected Created Superstars Slot. Note that the latter allows you not only to set an alternate attire for that wrestler, but any attire/appearance of any CAS in the selected slot.Basic/Advanced Entrance Media Note that this section contains either Basic or Advanced Entrance Media Settings depending on whether the "Advanced Entrance Enabled" checkbox is ticked in the "Advanced Entrance" section at the bottom. Be sure to set both the Basic and Advanced Entrances as desired, as the basic entrance settings will be used in certain circumstances (Royal Rumble Entrances, etc.), even if an Advanced Entrance is set.6. Select the "Entrance Theme Music" to be used for your Superstar. You can use the "Sound Editor" button to launch the external Sound Editor tool (has be downloaded and installed separately) in order to replace various Entrance/Victory Themes with your own.7. Select the "Titantron Video" ID your wrestler should use. You can use one of the existing Titantrons or assign another ID if you wish to add your own tron for that ID yourself. Use the "Install Titantron via CCT" button to pass the Titantron ID to Custom Character Tools (=CCT, has to be downloaded and installed separately) which will allow you to install it (follow a separate Tutorial to install Titantrons via CCT).8. Select the "Minitron Video" ID your wrestler should use. You can use one of the existing Minitrons or assign another ID if you wish to add your own tron for that ID yourself. Use the "Install Minitron via CCT" button to pass the Minitron ID to Custom Character Tools (=CCT, has to be downloaded and installed separately) which will allow you to install it (follow a separate Tutorial to install Minitrons via CCT).9. Select the "Walltron Video" ID your wrestler should use. You can use one of the existing Walltrons or assign another ID if you wish to add your own tron for that ID yourself. Use the "Install Walltron via CCT" button to pass the Minitron ID to Custom Character Tools (=CCT, has to be downloaded and installed separately) which will allow you to install it (follow a separate Tutorial to install Walltrons via CCT).10. Under "Basic/Advanced Entrance Tron parts", tick the parts of the Trons that should be enabled. Leaving them unticked will disable said tron part during the entrance. Note that some of these can be overridden by the lighting setting in the Advanced Entrance Editor, depending on the Lighting chosen.Victory Media11. Select the "Victory Music" to be used for your Superstar during Victory Scenes. You can use the "Sound Editor" button to launch the external Sound Editor tool (has be downloaded and installed separately) in order to replace various Entrance/Victory Themes with your own.12. Select the "Victory Trons" ID that should play during victory scenes for your wrestler instead of the default arena trons. You can use one of the existing Minitrons or assign another ID if you wish to add your own tron for that ID yourself. Use the "Install Minitron via CCT" button to pass the Minitron ID to Custom Character Tools (=CCT, has to be downloaded and installed separately) which will allow you to install it (follow a separate Tutorial to install Minitrons via CCT).Media Workarounds13. If you want the selected Entrance Music for your wrestler to play during the entrance and the selected Victory Music to play during the victory scene after the Match with any Attire, tick the checkbox labelled "Force selected Entrance and Victory Music to play for all Attires [Victory Music Workaround]". By default, the game doesn't play music for many wrestlers or attires added via mods, so it's generally a good idea to tick this box. Please read the warning message in the Data Editor once you tick that box for some important information about this experimental feature and it's potential side-effects. Note that with the workaround enabled, the victory music may start playing after the replays end instead of right after the match ends for some (but not all) wrestlers and attires that weren't originally in the game. You can work around that for some by assigning a different victory music than their original one, but your mileage may vary.14. If you want the selected Titantron Video for your wrestler to play after the Match with any Attire, tick the checkbox labelled "Force selected Titantron Video for all Attires". The game doesn't play Trons for some default wrestlers or attires added via mods, so it might be a good idea to tick this box if you experience such issues. Please read the warning message in the Data Editor once you tick that box for some important information about this experimental feature and it's potential side-effects.15. If you want the selected Minitron Video for your wrestler to play after the Match with any Attire, tick the checkbox labelled "Force selected Minitron Video for all Attires". The game doesn't play Trons for some default wrestlers or attires added via mods, so it might be a good idea to tick this box if you experience such issues. Please read the warning message in the Data Editor once you tick that box for some important information about this experimental feature and it's potential side-effects.16. If you want the selected Walltron Video for your wrestler to play after the Match with any Attire, tick the checkbox labelled "Force selected Walltron Video for all Attires". The game doesn't play Trons for some default wrestlers or attires added via mods, so it might be a good idea to tick this box if you experience such issues. Please read the warning message in the Data Editor once you tick that box for some important information about this experimental feature and it's potential side-effects.Basic Entrance Animations/Advanced Entrance Base Animations Note that this section contains either Basic or Advanced Entrance Media Settings depending on whether the "Advanced Entrance Enabled" checkbox is ticked in the "Advanced Entrance" section at the bottom. Be sure to set both the Basic and Advanced Entrances as desired, as the basic entrance settings will be used in certain circumstances, even if an Advanced Entrance is set.17. Select the ID of the "Entrance Animation" to use. This will be the basic entrance that will be used if an Advanced Entrance isn't set and also used as a Template for that wrestler.18. Select the ID of the "Championship Entrance" animation to use. This entrance will be used for the Wrestler if she or he holds a championship, no matter if the Advanced Entrance is enabled or not.Victory Animations19. Under "Victory Animations", set the "Victory Animation" for the wrestler. This is the animation that will play when the wrestler wins a match. The "Face" animation will play if your Superstar is a good guy/face (Crowd Reaction set to "cheer" in the .pofo), The "Heel" animation will play if your Superstar is a bad guy/heel (Crowd Reaction set to "boo" in the .pofo).20. Set the "Champion Victory" animation for the wrestler. This animation will play after Victory a Championship match. If you do not set this, the game should use the default animation instead. The "Face" animation will play if your Superstar is a good guy/face (Crowd Reaction set to "cheer" in the .pofo), The "Heel" animation will play if your Superstar is a bad guy/heel (Crowd Reaction set to "boo" in the .pofo). The IDs for the actual Championship Victory animations with belts start at 9000, although the Data Editor will allow you to use a regular one without a belt as well.Advanced Entrance This Editor is experimental and creating an advanced Entrance from scratch could lead to crashes. It's therefore advised to load an existing advanced entrance from an existing .moveset file and/or create one in the game and export the .moveset file it into the Data Editor via Custom Character Tools and edit it instead.21. If you do not wish to use any of the basic entrances and want to customize your "Advance Entrance" for your wrestler instead, please tick the "Advanced Entrance Enabled" checkbox. Ticking this checkbox will change the "Entrance Media", "Entrance Tron Parts", "Entrance Animations" sections etc. of the Data Editor's .moveset Editor tab to the Advanced settings, unticking it will set it to edit Basic Entrance Settings. Please make sure to always set both as in some circumstances (Royal Rumble, etc.) the basic settings are used even when an Advanced Entrance is set!22. Click the "Intro", "Stage", "Ramp", "Ring-In" and "Ring" buttons to bring up the Advanced Entrance Editor window for the respective part of the Advanced Entrance.23. Select the motion/Animation for the selected Advanced Entrance part. Note that some of the ones in the dropdown list that aren't usually available in the game may not work properly or even crash the game, some others may work, however.24. If you wish to display the Nameplate during this phase of the Entrance, tick the "Display Entrance Nameplate" checkbox. This will enable the timeline slider below it. Set the slider to a frame number (30 frames/1 notch = approximately 1 second depending on your framerate in the game). Note that you can only set the nameplate to show up in one Entrance part. So choose wisely.25. Set the "Lighting" for the Entrance part and choose the time in the timeline where each "Lighting" should begin (30 frames/1 notch = approximately 1 second depending on your framerate in the game). Note that the Data Editor will allow you to set up to five Lighting types per entrance part, but since you can only set two per entrance part in the game setting more than two could lead to adverse side effects like lag or even crashes.26. Set the "Pyrotechnics" for the Entrance part and choose the time in the timeline where each "Pyro" should begin (30 frames/1 notch = approximately 1 second depending on your framerate in the game). Note that the Data Editor will allow you to set up to five Pyro types per entrance part, but since you can only set two per entrance part in the game setting more than two could lead to adverse side effects like lag or even crashes.27. Set the "Screen Effects" for the Entrance part and choose the time in the timeline where each "Screen Effect" should begin (30 frames/1 notch = approximately 1 second depending on your framerate in the game). Note that the Data Editor will allow you to set up to five Screen Effect types per entrance part, but since you can only set two per entrance part in the game setting more than two could lead to adverse side effects like lag or even crashes. Note that there is a bug in the game where a screen effect may persist during the entire entrance and "None" may not kill it as desired.28. Set the "Entrance Music" for the Entrance part and choose the time in the timeline where each "Entrance Music" should begin (30 frames/1 notch = approximately 1 second depending on your framerate in the game). You can mix up to five different themes for each entrance part.29. Click the "OK" button when you're done setting the advanced entrance part. Repeat steps 17. - 24. for each part of the Advanced Entrance.Moves30. Click on one of the buttons "Standard Actions", "Corner", "Running", "Standing Strikes", "Rope", "Tag Team", "Standing Grapples", "Apron", "Weight Detection", "Ground", "Diving", "Special Moves" to edit/set various parts of the moveset of your wrestler.31. Select Moves and actions for each Move Type/Action type. Do not forget to set any moves or using the wrestler with this .moveset may freeze, crash or lead to other problems in the game, thus it's recommended to load the Moves from an existing .moveset Template file first (click the "Load select .moveset Parts" buton and untick everything but the "Moves" checkbox, then click "Choose .moveset file toload the parts selected above from") and edit those slightly instead. Note that you can select all Moves for all move types in the Data Editor. There are no restrictions or checks in place if the move actually works in the selected slot. Be careful which moves you set, as some might lead to wierd behavior. It is generally recommended to set the moves with the in-game moveset editor, export the .moveset via CCT and only make smaller changes to Moves themselves with the Data Editor instead).32. Click "OK" when you're done setting the moves in this window and repeat steps 25. - 27. for the other move buttons.Saving the .moveset file33. Click the "Save .moveset file" button to save your work. The Moveset will now be saved in the "\Data Editor 2k17\Moveset Files\" directory under the name "Slot - <wrestlerID>.moveset".Installing the .moveset file into the game34. If you have the free Custom Character Tools installed, you can simply click the "Install .moveset via CCT" button to save the .moveset file, send it to CCT and proceed to install it while the game is running and in the main menu (see the appropriate guide for more details).

Video Tutorial by @Pozzum [recorded with an outdated version, exact steps may differ in the latest one]: Spoiler Note: This video Tutorial has been created with older version of the Data Editor. Several things may differ from the latest versions, but the basic approach may still work. The "Data Editor" for WWE 2k17 is referred to as the "Wrestler Information and Moveset Creator" in the video, which was the name in the alpha version for WWE 2k15, in this video as it's based on an alpha version, or informally as "Cave's Tool". While the look, functionality and button placements may have changed slightly since then, the basic process should still be the same with the latest version of the Data Editor, however. Using the Attire Name Editor of the Data Editor's Universal Alternate Attire Unlocker GUI: Spoiler Text/Image Tutorial by @4Life: Spoiler Creating Custom Attire Names with Data Editor by @4 Life Using the Tag Team and Stable Editor to create and edit .team_info files: Spoiler Text Tutorial by Caveman: Spoiler Using the Tag Team and Stable Editor [.team_info]1.

You can enter the name of your Tag Team in the "Team Name" text field. Note that the name will be cut off after 27 characters when saving the file, as that's the maximum number of characters the Team Name can have in the game.5. Set the "Crowd Reaction" for your team to "Cheer" if you want them to be good guys/faces or "Boo" if you want them to be bad guys/heels.6. Select the name the announcer should call the team by with the "Team Announce Name" dropdown box.

Installing Wrestlers with Data Editor via Custom Character Tools: Spoiler Text Tutorial by Caveman: Spoiler Installing Wrestlers with Data Editor via Custom Character Tools 's own, it's a good idea to go through the step of installing it through the Data Editor, especially in case you have downloaded your .pofo and .moveset files from somewhere and don't know if they are correct. Loading them into the Data Editor will let you verify them and using it's "Install via CCT" function (and thus saving them through it) alone may correct some errors in the files due to the built-in verification routines as well.1. Download the Data Editor for WWE 2k17 and install it (installation instructions can be found in the included Readme file).2. Start the Data Editor. If it's the first time you start the Data Editor you will be asked to point it to the game executable WWE2K17_x64.exe. Please do so.3. Click on the "Tools, Help, Tutorials, Info & Downloads" tab.4.

If you can't find a .pofo and/or .moveset file for your wrestler, create them with the data Editor yourself (follow the Detailed Tutorials "Using the Wrestler Information Editor [.pofo]" and "Using the Entrance and Moveset Editor [.moveset]" posted here on how to do that) or load one of the many templates in the \Templates\ folders and skip to step 10..8.

Select the folder where you installed CCT to and click on the "Custom Character Tools.exe" file and click "Open". This step is required only the first time.16. Custom Character Tools will now start if it isn't started already and the .pofo and/or .moveset file you have sent with the Data Editor will be loaded in it.

If you chose to install any ch*.pac files while the game was running, you'll have to restart the game, otherwise the game will crash when you try to select/play with the modded character. The game only loads .pac files when it starts. If you installed a .pofo and/or .moveset file(s) only and had the ch*.pac file installed properly before you started the game, you don't have to restart the game (but you can still do so just to be safe).24.

Shiryo Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Thank you for this. I think maybe there's something wrong with Triple H. When you select him, you get this choise of attires ORIGINAL Attire 3 Attire 4 Etc. It misses Attire 2. Idk if this is something than could create problem in future or nothing important, it's just to point it out. Quote

Idk if this is something than could create problem in future or nothing important, it's just to point it out. Thank you for your report. It's a hidden attire that is hard-locked away in some odd way (or maybe it's a bug with the game, but I doubt 2k would fix it due to it being relevant to modders), similar to what we had with Kevin Nash in WWE 2k15 (WWE 2k16 didn't have that problem with any wrestlers, AFAIR). A couple of other wrestlers seem to exhbitit that problem in WWE 2k17 as well (although there are some with hidden attires, like Samoa Joe, that don't loose an attire slot due to it and have the hidden attire accessible normally). I haven't found a way to change that so far, nor was I able to do so in 2k15 so I wouldn't hold my breath on it. But maybe we'll have some new findings in the future.

dashot88 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Thanks for the alternate attire unlocker, looking forward to the data editor! Quote
4 Life Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 AWESOME Question though - how do we reassign attire/slot numbers with 2K17 via hex now? The internal hex is totally different to 2K16. We used to of course be able to just open it, change "00017702" to something like "00017712" to make it the second attire, but I'm clueless how to do the same thing with 2K17. Quote
ItsMeItsMe Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 There has got to be a way to unlock more CAS slots. They have A-Z banks in CAS and a good bit is not being used. Those empty slots has to have some value just to be there. Quote

The internal hex is totally different to 2K16. We used to of course be able to just open it, change "00017702" to something like "00017712" to make it the second attire, but I'm clueless how to do the same thing with 2K17. Right now everyone is injecting into 2k16 PAC files to be able to change slots. Quote
esbatmusic Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Couldn't load this. Hopefully we'll have Data editor like last year which will include the same thing too. Quote

For instance if you have a mod with knee pads, Jacket, Shirt all added outside of the 0000 it probably will crash. Least until we figure out a way to inject those parts this go around. 1 Quote

Ahhh, ok, cool Yeah I knew that stuff, but for some reason I was under the impression that you would have had to inject a PACH into a 2K17 pac since they're different headers I've noticed that there are different file numbers in the 2K17 files like 0100, 560F, might have to have a dig when the new version of X-Rey is out and see what those are all about as we might need to inject new objects into those instead? Just a guess tbh. Edited February 9, 2017 by 4 Life Quote

If you've created a Tutorial for the Data Editor 2k17, please reply with a link and I'll post it here if it's good. Feel free to also follow the text tutorials and create video tutorials based on them. I'll gladly post them here, too. I cannot download the file since it says 404. (I did want for the String pac really, since I'm patient enough to wait for the tools to come out) Quote

It worked. this time one stupid ad of ad.fly didn't open and it worked So now I can just use the hex editor and rename things in the pac like last year? Quote

And I'm sorry to ask something else , but I'd like to know before doing anything to it. That String.pac file... If I edit it, do I have to reconvert it or just copy and paste and it would work? Quote
