[SexualOmelet]

SUGGESTIONS, LINKS OR USERS THAT COULD HELP ARE VERY WELCOME - THANK YOU!

Hi, everyone. I'm totally new to this, just giving the first steps today.

MAIN GOAL:
To develop and share (with permission) free mods for XBOX 360 WWE games giving more accuracy to their respective seasons (attires, trons, themes, etc).

SvR 2011 OBJECTIVES (SEPTEMBER 2024):

- MODEL, Port JIMMY WANG YANG/JOHN CENA PURPLE over JAKE ROBERTS (alphabetically correct, and also I can try to replace callname and commentary)
- MODEL, JOHN CENA PURPLE/JIMMY WANG YANG over JAKE ROBERTS/JIMMY SNUKA (alphabetically correct, and also I can try to replace callname and commentary)
- MODEL, Port JEFF HARDY over JAKE ROBERTS/JIMMY SNUKA (alphabetically correct, and also I can try to replace callname and commentary)
- MODEL, Port TOMMY DREAMER over THE ROCK (alphabetically correct, and also I can try to replace callname and commentary)
- MODEL, Port JESSIE (mod it to SLAM MASTER J) over STEVE AUSTIN (alphabetically correct, and also I can try to replace callname and commentary)
- MODEL, Add DLC attires as characters, to make use of different renders, entrances, minitrons, themes and brands. (Masked CM Punk, Main Roster Sheamus, Heel Shad Gaspard, Purple John Cena
- MODEL, Port MARIA (SvR 2010) and JILLIAN HALL (SvR 2009) under the Divas row.
- MODEL, Unlock THE HURRICANE over TERRY FUNK ('kinda' alphabetically correct, and also I can try to replace callname and commentary)
- MODEL, Backport DANIEL BRYAN, DARREN YOUNG, HEATH SLATER and SKIP SHEFFIELD (RYBACK) over JOHN CENA PURPLE, BRITISH BULLDOG, LEX LUGER ABA TAKER (so I can try to replace callname and commentary).
- MODEL, Add all legends I replaced with current superstars as DLC, but with no commentary/announce name (?)
- MODEL, Add extra hidden slot in the divas section (and use it for DLC Layla - remove her from DLC tab)
STILL "AVAILABLE": ROB VAN DAM/RVD AND RICKY STEAMBOAT
I COULD ADD: CARLITO (port entrance from SvR 2007 and hair from SvR 2008), THE GREAT KHALI (with pants texture from wwe '13), ???

APPARENTLY, I can reorder characters in the rows - this would make it possible to add Chris Masters, The Hurricane, etc at the correct position. Druid and legends could be under DLC tab.

APPARENTLY, I can add Layla to the divas selection screen, avoiding her being alone under DLC tab.

APPARENTLY, there's a tool to assign hometown and callname from in-game superstars/divas to CAWs. Would it be possible to use it for DLC characters? This way, I could replace callname audio from legends (Jake Roberts to Jeff Hardy, for example) and still have Jeff Hardy at his right spot (preserving his Royal Rumble entrance, for example). Also, I could make DLC attires (Masked CM Punk, Heel Shad Gaspard, Main Roster Sheamus, Purple Attire John Cena, Retro HBK) as new superstars, with exclusive renders, entrance, minitrons, etc.

- UI/UX, Replace DLC logo with NXT logo at the selection screen (?)
- UI/UX, Replace WCW brand logo with NXT logo.
- UI/UX, Add "SEASON MOD '09-'10" at the center bottom of main menu background images - at superstars selection screen, a black rectangle covers part of the image, then hiding the name to only be shown at the main menu. Or I could add it to the bottom left side, vertically.
- UI/UX, Replace "Luke Gallows" menu theme with another one, since he was in SES at the time and that theme was almost never used. (maybe add ECW theme? NXT, The Hart Dynasty/Bret Hart, maybe Nexus, maybe Sheamus) - maybe replace Jericho's menu theme with Jerishow? Replace "Vance Archer" theme song in menu? What about Cody's Smoke and Mirros? that one would hurt to remove lol but he was in Legacy at that season)
- UI/UX, What if I called SvR 2008 > SvR '06-'07?. SvR 2009 > SvR '07-'08? WWE '12 > WWE '10-'11? And so on... until WWE 2K '12-'13 (nah, bad idea)
- (DONE!) UI/UX, Replace Road to WrestleMania intro song, add "I Made It", official theme song for WrestleMania 26.

- ARENA, Activate the 3rd arena DLC slot (just like Yumboy11) and add SMACKDOWN 2009 (?)
- ARENA, Replace WCW NITRO ARENA with RAW 2009 (?)

- ATTIRE, BIG SHOW: Jerishow attires (black/purple, black/blue)
- ATTIRE, BRET HART: 2010 hockey jersey attire (mod over john cena with shirt?)
- ATTIRE, CM PUNK: Fix Tattoos
- ATTIRE, CM PUNK: Without beard (maybe?)
- ATTIRE, CM PUNK (MASKED): Add entrance shirt with alternative SES shirt.
- ATTIRE, DAVID OTUNGA: remove armband (turn into NXT - R-Truth for tag team and entrance music/trons)
- ATTIRE, JACK SWAGGER: WWE All-Stars attire (black/gold) - maybe
- ATTIRE, JOHN CENA: add WWE All-Stars attire (orange shirt, lighter jeans, white shoes) - maybe
- ATTIRE, JOHN CENA (PURPLE ATTIRE DLC): Replace purple attire with 2009's green/yellow attire (including entrance cap object).
- ATTIRE, JUSTIN GABRIEL: remove armband (turn into NXT - Matt Mardy for tag team and entrance music/trons)
- ATTIRE, SHAWN MICHAELS: Add solo attire (maybe WrestleMania XXVI?)
- ATTIRE, SHAWN MICHAELS: Add alternative camo DX attire (+SvR 2009 DX?)
- ATTIRE, TRIPLE H: Add DX attire
- ATTIRE, WADE BARRET: remove armband (turn into NXT - chris jericho for tag team and entrance music/trons)

- TITLES, resize championship belts, make them larger (Scott Jay managed to do it, don't know how)

- ENTRANCE, Fix TRIPLE H entrance (lights out when he's at the stage, minitron turns black)
- ENTRANCE, FIx EDGE entrance (flashing lights prior to the song pause, like in WWE '12, then goes back to normal until the end)
- ENTRANCE, Port BIG SHOW heel entrance from SvR 2007 (he was a heel at that time: Jerishow, SvR 2011 render, etc)

- (W.I.P.) TRON, CM PUNK: Add pre-SES minitron (maybe)
- (W.I.P.) TRON, BATISTA: Add black minitron after some time.
- TRON, CRYME TYME: Add minitron (turn JTG minitron to black and white and replace it?)
- TRON, D-GENERATION X: Fix titantron (update screen effects) and add minitron at the start of song riff.
- TRON, Fix minitrons showing with bars or fade-in (MVP, Primo, bunch of others) - check if the fade-in is actually a problem
- (W.I.P.) TRON, JOHN CENA (PURPLE ATTIRE DLC): Fix titantron and minitron (***MAYBE NOT - IF THIS SEASON ENDS IN WM26, I COULD REPLACE PURPLE WITH GREEN/YELLOW)
- (W.I.P.) TRON, LAYLA: Replace Michelle McCool titantron and minitron with Laycool titantron and minitron
- (W.I.P.) TRON, LEGACY: Add minitron
- (DONE!) TRON, MICKIE JAMES: Add minitron
- (DONE!) TRON, MIKE KNOX: Add minitron
- (DONE!) TRON, NEXUS: Add titantron and minitron
- (DONE!) TRON, SHELTON BENJAMIN: Add minitron
- (W.I.P.) TRON, TRIPLE H: Fix titantron and minitron (turn black then goes back to normal)
- (DONE!) TRON, EDGE: Fix minitron (minitron flashes, as in WWE '12, then goes back to normal till the end)
TRONS I CAN USE TO REPLACE: Michelle McCool (replace with Laycool), The Hart Dynasty, Legend, Wade Barret, David Otunga, Justin Gabriel, Steve Austin - maybe Gallows (swap with SES and use CM PUNK slot for his solo run) - cody rhodes or ted dibiase (replace with Legacy?), JTG (replace with partial Cryme Tyme) 

WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE to make minitrons show up for titantrons that originally do not have one? Even when I add a minitron to it, the game plays a arena loop instead. I imagine that some video files have this attribute specified (like, with minitron or not). Would it be possible to change that?

PAINT TOOL, NXT: Import NXT logo to use as brand logo - maybe not if I manage to replace WCW

MOVES, Port CHRIS MASTERS's Full Nelson from SvR 2007 (possible to add as submission? or only as a regular move? either way it would look better than the one in-game)

SUPERSTAR THREADS, CODY RHODES: WrestleMania XXVI attire
SUPERSTAR THREADS, TED DiBIASE: Red trunks attire (Hell in a Cell '09)

Anyone knows if there's a way to add minitrons to superstars who originally didn't have one? Maybe editing hex files to disable "arena movie" as minitron? I tested adding minitrons to the titantron file, but no good (I mean, .BIK titantrons with no minitrons don't ever show a custom one, even if I add one to the file)

 

NOTE TO SELF: David Hart Smith appears in Christian's RTWM, so I can't replace his .BIK file.
I must pick his titantron for The Hart Dynasty, Tyson Kidd and Natalya.
