Main menu animation files list

[4 Life]

So this is a table of the files that control the animations of the wrestlers as they walk across the main menu screen. Shout-out to @pozzumand @LordJustice17 for pointing some things out to me here. Each file contains an animation is is linked to a pac slot.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-3lCEaCpZXFtxTypaQZmfLbGzh30FZl5d5_HWZzxrJ0/edit?usp=sharing

These files are in your WWE 2K17/pac/evt folder. You can delete certain files to get rid of certain wrestlers from the main menu screen. Few things I've noticed:

1) You must have at least 1 animation file in your folder, otherwise crash issues on the menus will develop.

2) The files at the bottom of the list that I've highlighted in grey cannot be your only file in the folder, otherwise the game will crash.

3) The files in the pac/misc/parameter/menu file control the order that the superstars appear in. If you 00 out the hex in these files, then the superstars just appear in the filename order of the animations.

You could possibly use this information to leave one wrestler you don't really need on your roster, then inject an invisible model into them and you'd then have nobody walking around the menu screen

Nice, thanks for sharing this, I was just wondering about this last night, tired of seeing Kalisto do that stupid point thing  

[abumaster]

great... I've been expected for this

@4 Life

Cracked the total removal process (no need for invisible characters):

1) Deleted all but one of the files you listed.

2) Opened the last one with PacEditor/Xpacker.

3) Uncompressed the second SDHC.

4) Zeroed the uncompressed file.

5) Injected it back in.

They are not bk video files. They animate the actual character models just like in-game.

Did these steps which results in the game not loading....hanging in black screen.

Make sure you have blanked both caches. And make sure you zeroed the right file. If you zero the wrong one the game will hang on a black screen.

can you add modded characters like Kenny Omega?

I'm not sure if there's another way, but if you inject Omega into one of the slots that has animations, I believe he would show up. You can test by injecting Omega in Brock's ch file

not right now. i'd have to experiment with them. hopefully there is a way to get it to work. Kinda want all WWE characters replaced in the end

[laddanator]

I put my Hogan, in Brock's ch file, and Hogan, shows up on the menu just fine. He is doing Brocks motions, but he is there.

Did it freeze the game, or did he just not show up?

If it doesn't freeze the game, try and load a match with Brock, and see if he shows up as Omega.

Also, are you renaming the ch file, and also the pach file within it?  They both have to match Lesnar's slot.

Right now yes.

But maybe we can build on this info and find a way to choose a wrestler in the future.

It definitely works. I've replaced Brock with Ken Shamrock, Luke Gallows with Wolfpac Nash, Anderson with Syxx as well as a bunch of attire mods and they all show up. You just have to replace the model and the menu reads the model as it would in a match.

I think it's definitely possible. As I said in the first post, the files in the pac/misc/parameter/menu file control the order that the superstars appear in, as if you 00 out the hex in these files, then the superstars just appear in the filename order of the animations files. So they must control the order, if someone was able to decode these and change the IDs that'd be awesome You can also see that the animation files have an ID but it's garbled, and I also assume that these animations are linked to the easy entrance animations and a taunt perhaps? I know everyone's always tagging him in threads like this, but  @Perfectplex might possibly be able to shed some light?

And while we're tagging people, thank you @4 Life for figuring this out and sharing the animation list with us !

Any chance that you could, at some time, explain how you changed those logos(or maybe point to an already made tutorial)?  I would love to switch the WWE one out for one of the classic logos.  Awesome menu btw!
