Will modding be improved this year?

[steven1977]

Whenever a new WWE game is released I always get pumped on how great the modding side is, and hopefully modding can be improved.

Do you think its likely that we will have better slot options this year where we dont need to have xpacker running to load models up or say a actual image on the character selection screen when loading mods instead of a blank pic?

What do you mean? Of course you'll need a program such as xpacker open or how would you open the files to mod?

From memory last year certain Model slots required xpacker to be running for the model to show up in game where as 2K15 & 2K16 didn't.

Well expect more of that, the game will probably even worse this year with more limitations.

He's Talking about Pac Plus, That was a thing in both 2K16 and 2K17 but it was much worse in 2K17 than 2K16.

It's all about how they setup the save in the game so we can't really know.  With the lower about of DLC characters this year they may be more leftover slots than before.

There was some information discovered by @Perfectplex for 2K17 that may result in Pac Plus not being as needed but would require restarting the save.  I'll be trying to tackle that fairly early in mod development this year.  Since it's coming out same time on PC perhaps people will actually play this one the whole year through.

I think it will can't wait to what we can do this year glad its on pc on release day  finally.
