I have this issue too. I turned replays off. I consider it a small tradeoff to be able to keep all the default arenas AND have the unlocked ones, but it would be nice if there was some sort of fix for the problem. Who knows though.

Anyway, thanks for this... it's exactly what I needed, keeping default arenas but unlocking hidden ones!

Is Wrestlemania 31 available ?

This is most likely an issue with the misc01_start file. I don't know if you are working on it but I will personally examine the data in the file.

The Wrestlemania 31 Arena was in WWE 2k17. This mod consists of Arenas in 2k18 that were removed from the menu listing in 2k19.

Please do, I was expecting any kind of response or fix about it since I downloaded it and it didn't work but I have so many thing on the game now that I didn't know if something was not right.

Hi, from my tests so far the mod is working in my game. I haven't experienced any issues. One thing is the mod can't be combined with a different arena mod as there will be conflicts in the misc_start.

[LexRed]

They just not show on my game, don't know why. I might have to check what other stuff I have in there that might interfere with this mod. What about the finisher thing, is that a problem?

[Davehinnegan1986]

Not sure whats going on guys i thought all the files should be in there. This was made with a fresh install, cant be used with any other arena mods, and you have to clear the chunk file and rebuild the def. As far as the replays I havent ported them over didnt think about that. There should only be a few files to replace all the arena parts are all ready in the game. Hope this helps some of you out.

 

PS this could interfere with created arenas i dont use them much

I’m not having any problem with finishers

If you are referring to replay gfx , they wouldn’t work anyway.

For the most part it works for me with the exception of...

Payback                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Great Balls of Fire

WCW Saturday Night

ECW One Night Stand

Roadblock

Saturday Night Main Event

No Mercy

These arenas lock up the game on the match up loading screen

Do you have another arena mod installed in your game ?

I have Titavius' modded arenas. At one point I had the 2k16 ported arenas mod but later deleted it since there seemed to be conflicting issues with this mod, which I prefered to use anyway.

[BlindedByTheGrace]

It will cause issues as some of the objects in these arenas had to be replaced . Besides unless you have merged data from the misc_arena and misc_start files for both mods, you can't use them together.

I guess that makes sense. Not a dealbreaker for me since I use Titavius ' mods for my Attitude/Ruthless aggression Universe modes so as long as the remaining arenas that dont lock up the game still work I'm ok. Thanks for the help.

Well it's actually possible to use both mods in the game. 

The thing is each mod has a modified misc01_start.pac file and possible misc04-arena.pac files. This will mean that if you have Titavuis mod installed, you will have overwritten the misc_01 for the hidden arena mod which contains also contains data for the transitions and replay transitions.

Since the hidden arena mod has more modified data, then the modified data from Titavius mod can be merged into the misc-start for the hidden arena mod and with that you'll have the best of both worlds.

Interesting, so should I delete both mods then start again with the hidden arena mod, then install Titavius mod?

Yes . You actually install the hidden mod first. Then the modified data from Titavius mod is added to the misc_01 and misc _arena for the hidden arena mod.

That's the only issue I ever had with this mod: replays cause crashes (only in certain arenas and only under specific circumstances).

This is why I turned replays off.

Are you saying replays wouldn't work with this mod no matter what? Just curious.

The mod works fine if no other arena mods are installed with it. So the question is whether you have other arena mods installed .

This forum is a godsend.

I believe I'm having the same issue. How do I merge the data? Sorry I'm such a noob but it seems this is the fix to my problem with this mod.

 

How do I delete older arenas that might conflict? Save data?

[mystiquemicah]

Im really sorry this is a stupid question but how do I install this? Im completely lost
