El Guapo Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hi there, like the title says really - is it possible to add arena transition videos rather than replace them? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi, Yes it's possible. If you have an arena transition and transition replay video , you can assign an unused ID to the file and set it in the misc01_start file (0002), in both SELECTNUM columns. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Excellent, thanks for that - I'll give that a try 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify - both SELECTNUM columns? I was under the impression that the first one was for the arenatrance ID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) It's not working for me - the game hangs after I select the arena. I'm trying to use vacant slot 18: * Copy \pac\mov\transition_replay\000017.pac * rename it 000018.pac * Inject my transition video into it * do the same for \pac\mov\transition\000017.pac * change the second SELECTNUM address for the arena to 18 * rebuild chunk file with WrestleMINUS I had a look at the pac file in a hex editor to see if there was a header of some kind which might need a new hash string or something, but I didn't see one Edited August 2, 2021 by El Guapo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to use 2k16 EPK8 pac files which can be edited in Hxd offset row 800. Here is a zip containing a transition pac file and transition replay pac file from 2k16. You can inject your transiton video into these and rename appropriately. The file ID 14 is the transition, the file ID 15 is the transition replay https://mega.nz/file/IEhmnILT#wsZcrDGecVPa2iok2qPcfQNr8Kd2rqN-sb2qAn43VJ8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fecks Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 This is super useful info - What process are you using for injecting a new transition video into the pac file? I have X-Packer and PAC editor. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand the process: 1. Create video(s) encoded as .bik files 2. Compress as using OODL Tools to create pac files 3. Inject pac files using X-Packer / PAC editor Is that correct? Anything else I need to be aware of / avoid? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Hi, You don't compress the bik file as oodl. You just inject the bik or bk2 file directly into the pac file. You can use the 2k16 epk8 pac files I posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it working - thanks again 👌 Do you know if there's a maximum duration / file size for the transition / replay videos? Useful to know before creating new videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful to know before creating new videos Good question. Its not something Ive tried out, but if the file size is relatively large, it will probably take a while to load.

Will do. What settings are you using when encoding using RAD tools? I'm having issues getting any of my injected test videos to work. The game crashes upon selecting the arena. My understanding is that the videos need to be 1920 x 1080 @ 30fps. Are there any other mandatory requirements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
