Additional Referee Mods?

[Wolfstrike28]

Hello everyone, 

Curious question, is there a way to install referee mods over existing referee models? And is there a way to add additional referee looks to the game to the existing ones similar to the pac files for wrestlers?

Yes, you can install referee mods over the 10 existing models. They are attires in slot 255 (ch255X0.pac, where X is 0-9, see the Referee WIki page for more information). You'll have to install the attires manually, as CCT doesn't support referee models and you'll also have to add the renders manually to the referee render file (search the forum for which one that is). There are also lots of referee mods out there that you can use.
You can also change their name, I think by editing the string file, although I don't quite remember.

As for adding more, the slot needs to have Referee properties. Slot 684 appears to have those. However, you can't select that slot. Somebody would have to figure out a referee selection menu mod where the 10 attires from the 684 slot are selectable in addition to the 10 from slot 255. Or maybe one can assign one of the 684 slot attires as default to an arena? Maybe someone that's well versed in arena modding would know. It's possible that one could assign one of the 684 slots as referee via cheat engine as well, but that's just a guess.

@Cave Waverider oooh that makes sense regarding the CCT. I tried that this morning and an earl hebner mod file didn't show up. I'll do some searches for referee mods. I like an Earl Hebner and Mike Chiota mod. Thanks for the response!

If you have the file that CCT installed, open it with a Hex Editor and change the ID in the EMD section to 255X0 (where X is the attire you want to use). You can see which attire is which referee on the Referee Wiki page.

I have to figure out how to use the HEX editor lol. Thanks for that reference @Cave Waverider
