How Do I Port 2K16 Mods?

[Ewan]

It'd be awesome if anyone could tell me how to port 2K16 .pacs to 2K17 

 

I really can't play Seth Rollins with his awful default hair...

Just copy the 2k16 pac file into the 2k17 "ch" folder. You may need to edit the attire number with HxD. 

But the size of the 2k16 pac file must be below 80MB! 2k17 refuses to load bigger wrestler pac files.

Some of the bigger ones work, I have a Kurt Angle and two Benoits from 2k15 that are all over 500mb, and they work fine, I think it's a matter of certain objects crashing the game, such as hair(for example, I can use Tekken's Sabu, but only the model with the headgear, the in-ring model will crash the game)

I tried replacing the current Seth with PH_Guy's Seth, which is 58.3mb, but it crashed the game

I think this might be why 

It'd be amazing if anyone found a way to make it work...

Those 2K15 pac files contained all entrance and inring attires. But since 2K16 every attire has its own pac file. 

2K17 still loads this big 2K15 pac files, but if a attire is bigger then 80MB the game will crash. 

If it crashes with a size less the 80MB, then open the pach and extract 0000, 000A, 000C, 2715 and inject them into a 2k17 SHDC file.

Still crashed the game, unfortunately 

My steps using Pac editor:

1. Extract 0000, 000A, 000C, 2715 from a 2K16 .pac

2. Open a 2K17 .pac

3. Extract the SHDC

4. Inject 0000, 000A, 000C, 2715 as zlib

5. Open the 2K17 .pac again

6. Inject the modified SHDC

7. Copy and paste it to ch folder

I remember @Legend_killer79 had also problems with PH_Guy's mods. But he was able to fix it. I hope he can help here too.

I've made some of them work while others are giving me some problems. Which Seth are you trying to port?

Good luck, man  Seth Rollins' 2K17 default hair really bothers me... 

[Legend_killer79]

@Ewan This is what I could come up with in a very fast time. I have other mods I'm trying to figure out at the moment.

i tried porting the whole mod but wasn't working so I just injected the hair into 2K17 Rollins, which is the 2715 file alongside the 2580 for physics since without it, his hair was all over the place.

That did it, man! 

[Legend_killer79]

@Ewan Great work man!

You basically injected the hair and the 2580 file over to 2K17 Rollins right?

Well yeah that's the easy part but glad it worked

Hey Ewan, are you planning to port any of your Jushin Ligers?

Probably not, man  So far, I only know how to inject hair and textures on 2K17

Okay, just wondering, I'll have to wait for a good one on CC
