Hey guys

I believe the answer is in the second post of this thread.

@Robbie686 That looks like a 2K17 pac which is in HSPC format, extract it to get the pach file from it (will probably be a string of alphanumeric characters with .pac at the end).  Then you will need to use a 2K16 pac, hex edit it to change the slot number, and then inject the 2K17 pach you extracted into the 2K16 pac you hex edited.  Be sure to remember to change the 2K16 file name as well.

For example:

ch10002.pac (Rock) from 2K17 -> extract via XPacker or Pac Editor -> you will get a file that looks like ABC1234567890ABC.pac (this is the pach file)

Get a pac from 2K16 -> ch10102.pac -> rename this file to the slot you want the 2K17 pac to be (ch10012.pac - slot 2 for Rock) -> now hex edit this file -> scroll down a few times and you will see a string that starts with EMD then a series of dots and then the number 00010102 -> you want to change this to 00010012 (make sure you overwrite, not insert or delete characters).  Make sure you save after this -> now open XPacker or Pac Editor and then select the 00010012.pac inside the ch10012.pac file and inject the 2K17 pac (ABC1234567890ABC.pac) from the first step.  From there, it should be complete.

I'll be making a tutorial of how to do this soon.  Hope this helps.

It really not that intense once you've done it once or twice.  Give it a shot!  @Robbie686

Worked a treat and was actually surprisingly straight forward. Many thanks
