WPAR file

[El Guapo]

Hi there, I'm having some issues getting my head around the WPAR file.
 

I've been using the excellent guide above, plus the https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g6KoexP8TmkiKRZ_IvB0MclGmQEQ7Nabw94IY4eePQA/edit#gid=0 Google doc with further details, but I am having trouble reconciling my WPAR with what is in the doc.

My file looks like this in WrestleMinus:



So, am I right in sayiNg "Init 1" should be the same as the "slot" hex reference in the Google doc?

As you can see in my WPAR file, my "Init 1" column only has decimal numbers rather than hex, and some of them are really high (ie. 65536) which makes me think it is too high to be the arena slot reference.


Really appreciate any help and insight


Thanks

Hi,

When you open the WPAR file in wrestleminus, it will display decimal values. This is how wrestleminus was coded to read the file.

If you are editing the file directly in Hxd, the data is displayed as hexadecimal values.

If you are editing the file in Wrestleminus, you will have to convert the data to decimal rather than input invalid hexadecimal entries. Like say I wanted to add a hex value 0A like in the payback arena row on your screenshot, it has to be entered as 10 in wrestleminus. Not doing this will cause save errors.

From the screenshot you posted , you do have invalid data in your file.

This is how the default values look like

Thanks for the response - just to confirm then that the "Init 1" is indeed the arena number, and therefore there should only ever be one entry for each?

I guess I probably need to rebuild mine from scratch then!

Yes. Init 1 is the arena ID .

By the way, it says "Int" (short for integer) not "Init".

That would make loads more sense
