String crap, not as easy as last year but routing is the same principal.

 

Do not attempt to modify this file if you dont know what you are doing!

It is not as simple as changing the string and character length!

The offsets will all need to be changed if you do that.

 

Name ID

f3500bd2d07bd92fb70d4b782baab902.png

 

Lets take a gander in string_win.pac for that ID

b34562e6d30c4b7a768df7f630b7b87c.png

 

There it is, hey look at the first 4 bytes, lets find that byte address.

oh and take note of that 09 byte too

04b208736d95b53d556179181279b145.png

 

Oh look, its the string "THE ROCK"

But thats 8 characters not 9 right? well you have to add the little dot (00 byte) to tell it where the string ends and has to be included in the length value.

So this seems to be closely related to the music in the game @TheVisitorX should be very interested in this the first 2 sets of 4 bytes match the string reference for the songs.

unknown.png

I'm unsure but potentially this could be a file that ties the wwise numbers to the numbers used in the movesets?  As Perfect said when we were talking if the stars align this might be a path to more usable songs?

This one based on the breakdown I was able to figure out it the options for the countries and what the announcement bytes are.  This might help @Cave Waverider but he might already have them cataloged.  Essentially they are 20 byte arrays where is it {COUNTRY}{PROVINCE/STATE}{CITY}{BLANK}{REF NUM} where each are 4 bytes, the first 3 being string references.  I was able to cross reference finn's location with the one from his pofo that Azn put together.   I don't think this impacts the location overwrite issue unfortunately.

This one mainly lists locations.  and seems at least to me that it might like assign it to arenas I'm not really sure the amount of FF FF bytes between slots seem close to arenas.. But they are city locator text I'm pretty sure of that.

Interesting find. The filename is 06.memu - I think "memu" stands for menu music and that's what it is. If I change that, it has an influence on the jukebox entries. There aren't any visible items if I overwrite the whole file.

Seems obvious now you mention it, there are memu tweaks in dlc patches for 2k17 too I just checked.

For the strings it is likely just like 2K17 whereby you take the ch number and add 72,000, I have not looked at strings beyond names yet as the names are priority.

Based on 2K17

Start

        36350 = Menu Music

        42101 = Other Themes

        72000 = Entrance Themes

End
        36388 = Menu Music

        42189 = Other Themes

        72439 = Entrance Themes

Time to start looking into something new for me, Weapons and related files.

Bah gawd, they melted kang

Not sure what you mean, if you mean setting it up like War Games then I doubt it would work properly, it would really be a visual thing.

Anyways this should wet your whistle, ladder and table in a cell match with proper handling (WIP).

Great findings on the weapons once more, @Perfectplex. Giving different weapons different properties should be great. I like your sledgehammer to guitar mod but it would be even better if it had the properties of a chair or something or could break, even. :)

More breakable objects backstage is definitely great. I'm really looking forward to what else you can dig up. :)

Cheers Cave, yeah I'm currently deep into the physics files for the weapons, I've already sussed how to make the character use the weapons in hand correctly, the only problem I'm having atm is when you place an object down but I'm still early into this surgery, always good for me to take a break and come back with a fresh mind as I did.

With the table and ladder the characters now carry them and use them as they should but you can't place them down (except to drop them clumsily), with the leaning of the table it just haphazardly plops them against the corner posts and they flop over, if you notice in the pic above the ladder isn't resting properly, its just leaning, the physical boundaries of the object is correct though.

pac > prop > propdata [propstatus.pac]

0000.prst

4ead2d4f850ee66ea45c54c18e01e366.png

 

0001.kist (Kinematic state?)

eab880b5acc114d14b187399ace9b1dc.png

 

0002.wrlt

092e323fe5437090f5ec1ecc800123a1.png

 

So far I have the theory that 0000.prst  is left column = which item, right column = which properties in 0001.kist to use.

0001.kist = first chunk (4 bytes) is properties ID, next is which item it takes its physical properties from?

0002.wrlt = first chunk = properties ID, second chunk = how many 'lines' of information, then the next lines (4 chunks of 4 bytes per line) is maybe physical boundaries, so this would be the collision box (hull)?

I am still experimenting with this and will post more as things unfold.

I suspect the sound effect is also called in either 0001 or 0002

Tests:

Removed initposition, havokstatus and actiondatadriven from the propdata folder, I know these do not affect the table/ladder animations, leads to obvious bugs but is good to keep things as minimal as possible to filter down to what does what.

Changed 0001.kist, Entry 06 second chunk from 0B to 03 (ringbell), when I picked up the real ladder from under the ring (extreme rules) he held it as you would a ring bell and used it as a weapon as a ring bell, when using the LB(L1) to place the weapon it falls to the floor and the character falls over having heart attack (no animation found).

Thus proving my theory the second chunk is for which item it takes its properties from.

Removed laddertableparam.pac from pac > ingame, real tables and ladders can't be placed now, it contains 8 files that I now have to scan through to try and make sense of so I can apply table and ladder placements if I wish to modded in tables and ladders.

Ah right, cheers, that should save me a lot of time knowing that file has already been looked into.

tip: remove (backup) the havokstatus.pac file from your propdata folder and have a backstage assault, enjoy (will be better once its been looked into and fine tuned rather than just removed).

Oops sorry, I must've forgotten the link. Thanks to Hova for adding that.

I've also played around with HavokStatus as well. Deleting/zeroing it entirely gives funky physics to all the props. You can also zero individual entries within it to change the physics of individual items. I've done that with the steps, as I enjoy being able to irish whip people into them and have them dismount. Presumably you could also swap these physics as well (would be interesting to try to swap announce table and folding table physics and then swap those prop files).

Following on from a conversation in the PerfectPlextra thread:

I have found that the highest entry in this column (blue) is 669 in the hid file but the top of the file dictates only 500 entries.

Going to record some files spread out in easy to read byte layouts, I will only provide some files that may be useful in easier to read layouts not all of them and I will use the latter files and ignore the redundant files).

STG is the goat file for arenas.. Haven't figured out what the others do, but the beginning is the string name for each venue, with editable options from stage geo, commentary (haven't narrowed down that byte yet), default referees, crowd fighting, tron styles, venue logos etc. There are a bunch of empty slots that are 0852 (Smackdown Live).. In theory that could be for adding new slots, but all attempts usually just lock arenas or make them unable to be selected in game

Had another look at as to why the DLC30 characters force themselves back to the downloadable menu after moving them.

This post will be a bit all over the place (nothing new with me) but hopefully will help narrow down an easy fix.

Experimented removing the dlc pack 30 dat, mvs and pro files with normal save file, found that with cheat engine it finds the original rules for the dlc 30 files.

f761a5445d5608a6375577c72c5b2f01.jpg

So despite removing the dlc files it pulls the default rules from the save file which dictates the rules for what loads in despite changing the previous setting, this tells me that when the save is made when injecting the change it is only changing the reserved byte area the game relies upon rather than what saves to memory.

I confirm this theory by removing my saves files then starting the game up again and through cheat engine looking for the signatures again, this time it finds no such entry.

b611f6390d9ce71b9acfa09af43e364a.jpg

 

So to fix this problem I now need to find why when saving changes to a dlc30 file why it is saving to a location of memory that the game doesn't read from as the issue isn't that its relying on the dat file but rather that the location of the pofo(dat) files aren't actually being saved over.

 

Next test. I inject the pofo and moveset for Andre the Giant into Jeff Hardys slot, so technically I now shouldn't be able to find Jeffs name signature bytes at all.

Injected but not saved, new scan of Jeffs name ID's shows only the memory location and not found in active memory (green), this is what I expected and should happen.

Now I force a save, which should mean that I can no longer find a trace of Jeff Hardy's name ID's.

This is indeed the case now, which means it is successfully replacing the save game location of the Jeff Hardy (DLC 30) pofo memory.

but why isn't it replacing the pofo/dat details in the location the game reads from upon a restart of the game?

Lets restart the game and scan for Jeffs name signatures which SHOULD NOT exist!

Nothing at all found.

Readded the profile files for DLC30 pack and restarted the game.

Scanned at title screen (before save file is loaded) and found two entries, black and green, for Jeffs Name ID's.

Black entry shows that this must be the details of the dat file which has the bytes set as defaults.

Green entry (active memory) shows it has relied on the root (black) memory.

Now lets go to the menu (load the save), a rescan shows no trace of the Jeff Hardy name ID's.

So this shows us that it does retain the information saved to memory after all however there is another file that is dictating that the specific DLC 30 files should always default to the downloadable menu even if you completely replace the pofo and moveset.

The quest for the fix goes on, I do have an awkward fix which involves modifying the dat files but I am trying to avoid this and track down the file which tells the game that DLC 30 files will always be forced to downloadable upon loading the game and not rely on any tools to run either.

 

Another restart, this time on the title screen (before save loaded) I get 4 results looking for Andres name ID signatures.

eb9791d19557d2f4b3f984821b969fa0.png

So this is showing it finds 4 entries, the second one down shows the byte that determines that the character would be found in the downloadable menu, the other 3 show they are in the superstars menu.

Now I press start to load the save

4th

Reinject (no save) and rescanned, the only change is the 4th entry which shows the byte for downloadable/superstars is now 0 (superstars).

e701859fa686a2179758685fa5f5834c.png

Forced a save and rescanned again, now a 5th entry has been added

a76426ed48ad5bf140a6d6e83ff01dc3.png

and previous entries 1 and 2 are moved along in memory. 

also the 3rd (previously 2nd) entry now shows it has saved the change of the byte to 0 of which menu it appears in.

f019eb424f816647014355e814b9e491.png

A quick look at the character select shows it is of course (for now) in the correct menu (superstars)

1bd0e4561bd25348867f8a3ab5f89642.png

 

and now a restart of the game and of course this is where it now kicks it back to the downloadable menu instead.

I quickly scan as the "do not try this at home" appears the fresh scan shows

478652899440844a56e31c3a7ba3a9d2.png

and by the time it gets to the title screen (before loading save game) a rescan then shows

a2bbfa5f738afe463b80ff3e27ae1a88.png

The first 2 entries are the original Andre and the Jeff Hardy now Andre 2 and all 4 entries show the byte as appearing in the superstars menu.

Also a search of Jeff Hardys name ID at this point finds the dat file details and 2 entries (the dat file root and the temp memory)

Before save loaded (title screen)

577861c7b2aa4bb9cb8bc56e94cf7fd2.png

Now I press start and after the save loads and settles a fresh scan now shows 8 entries

After save loaded (menu screen)

e6e13e656c88ff0e44513f59ad5e658a.png

and back to searching Andres name ID's

559b19cf36b949f8fa249da244f28213.png

I will now skip the original Andre entries because they aren't the issue and highlight the Jeff Hardy 'Andre' entries.

435dbb2f8915c4c47efcfb3cc242443a.png

 

So for whatever reason there are now double entries for Jeff 'Andre' and all show they are now downloadable (01 01 rather than 01 00) and indeed a quick check of the character select indeed clarifies this.

The reason for the double entries must be that it reads the save, stores the data, reads the stored data, transfers it to the active memory.
