Remove Call Name

[WWEFreak666]

Hi everyone. I just started modding not long ago and am really enjoying it and everyone's awesome creations.

I have quick question in regards to removing a call name. I installed a Billy Gunn mod over The Brian Kendrick. Unfortunately all I hear is "The Brian Kendrick" when selecting him and when the entrance occurs. Is there any way to remove this? I understand replacing the call name is complicated, I'd prefer to have at least no call name.

My apologies if this has already been answered.

Thanks for any help.

Might as well replace the call name, since removing it is the same exact steps.

Use Sound Editor. Make sure you have the latest data.xml installed, because TheKreator is awesome and spent a ton of time defining many hundreds of call names, and it's impossible to fix either way without it.

In Sound Editor, find The Brian Kendrick's call name in ra_m.pck, using CTRL+F, and inject a blank .wem. But since you had to come this far to do this, you might as well just inject a .wem with Billy Gunn's announce name. If you have 2k17, you could just download Sound Editor and record Billy Gunn's call name using a free prog like Audacity (and change the pitch of the call name to sound more like JoJo-- this is what I do. Thank goodness JoJo tries to sound pretty much exactly the same as Lillian as part of the formulaic WWE machine, right?) and then export as an mp3 and use Sound Converter to convert it to a .wem. If you do this, make sure you also replace the other versions of the call name, such as "and Brian Kendrick," "accompanied by Brian Kendrick," and "Brian Kendrick has been eliminated!" as well.

I'm a replace guy too, and from my view, the only advantages to replacing are being able to use renders, and being able to replace announce names at the cost of a main roster spot. So if you dislike the inconsistencies in announce names and don't mind shadow guy, there's really no reason to replace at all. So just using the default mod slots and keeping The Bryan Kendrick is another option, and you won't have to mess with call names at all.

Still another option is to just turn Voice Settings all the way down in the menu. JoJo will be silenced. Commentary will be gone too, but no real loss there, right? This would be your easiest option if you don't want to mess with Sound Editor for call names at all.
