2K19 Custom logo help

[ant888nsmb2]

Hi.

Question 1: I wanted to create a custom arena, and want to put the SmackDown 2010 logos into my custom arena. How can I find which pac file the SmackDown Live logos are without decompressing them and then converting to .dds? Like each logo's ID I guess?

Question 2: Is it possible to replace the copyright logo at the end of a show with a custom logo? If so, where is that file located?
Thanks in advance for the help!!

1: you will have to extract the 03e8 file from the arentrance file, add your dds textures, make a new 03e8 file and inject back into arentrance file

2: yes it is possible, it is easier if you have the unpacked arena gfx mod by see fusion.

Click my sig for rePac, there are 4 variants included, try 2019 version first, if that doesn't work for the pac file you are working with try the 2018 version or one of the others, each handles pac files slightly differently.

You can drag a pac file onto the window of the tool and with some texture files you can view them directly, if it throws up an unsupported format message it means that the dds file is a newer format which the texture viewer doesn't support.

In which case you can just right click the pac file name and choose mass extract and it will automatically extract all the files from the pac into a folder and the dds files will be there to view through Microsoft visual studio or your preferred paint/photo software if it supports dds files.

 

Question 1 is best answered by those that specialise in arena mods, there are a few of the guys here that know exactly which files you will need for specific arenas.

Question 2 however I can answer for you, go to pac > menu > win > Assets > wwe19_singleread > texture

here you will find a bunch of ltag files, one of which is called "ltag_copyright_win.pac", in this file there are multiple shdc archive files.

These archive files contain a 0000 and a 0001 file, the 0000 file you don't really need to change but the 0001 files are the dds files that are the show closer copyright logos, change these to fit the arena you have changed it to.

Also consider  looking at the other files to familiarise yourself with what they contain, maybe keep a notepad that lists what each file is so you can quickly find the logos and images you wish to change to make your arenas (or whatever else you mod) show up with more representative images in your menus and the logos that appear in the GUI in game such as the nameplates.

Hope you found this useful.
