Arena address?

[me man]

Hello, I thought it would be on here but I couldn't find it, I'm trying to figure out the address that controls what arena is used, I've found the following concerning alternate, normally locked arenas:

70- Performance Center
72- darkened arena
95- 2k arena
82- white background
25- dark white background
66- black backstage
67- hall backstage
78- normal backstage
83- free roam area
91- white screen test
92- nxt lighting test
93- no lighting test
96- great balls of fire

I believe the arenas are loaded by simply changing the value that points to what arena to load at the character select screen. Can anyone please tell me what that address is?

[me man]

I can't believe no one has done this before. Well for those who haven't and would like to, now, or those who search in the future, I will post how I've learned to do it.

1- attach cheatengine

2- set up a match, at fighter select screen select match options, and change arena

3- read the arena value at 0012D020 or 0012D060

4- scan for the value found there

5- change the arena again

6- scan for the new arena value (value at 0012D020 or 0012D060)

7- from the now short list select the address xxxx0720 and change it as desired, this is the arena that will load

Also if you'll be doing this more than once before exiting the game, take the address xxxx81B0 from step 7 and use it's value for the first scan at the fighter select screen. The advantage is that you can run the first scan without changing the arena, so you only need to change it once on subsequent arena changes.

I think @pozzum had a tool that can swap those secret arenas. You really don't have to do any of that with IDing them. You can just look at objects in 3ds Max or look at the textures. Most arenas have titan_logo.dds textures that will tell you what's what. What we don't know yet is how to add more arenas without replacing. If you really wanted to use a lot of that stuff you could always inject the shdc into a different aentrance.pac, but there's so many moving parts that ties to an arena. (ringmats, ropes, aprons/led or not, stairs, floor mats, commentary tables and their location, stadium, crowd type, the barricade types and their geos, the stage geo which deals with clipping through objects, the stage geography types (sd, raw, classic RIW ramp, or a flat stage), video tron type, nameplates, show locators, the menu logos, the matchup screens, where the backstage trigger points are).

GREAT BALLS OF FIRE 96

[me man]

I'll definitely check out those other arenas you mentioned, the rest sounds cool, but perhaps a little over my head. I just knew the Great balls of fire ID was 96 and found the addresses from there. As far as using more arenas, It seems to me like it could be possible, but if it was as easy as it would seem like it would be to me, then it probably would have been done, there's at least a byte to tell the arena ID, as to where it goes from there, a table, or straight to addresses, registers, etc. I have no idea.
