WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 (PS2) Resurrection of the Fallen. (Mod by Vance2727MR). (Official Topic) WIP.

[AxelVanceWWF]

Series: ROTF Series
System: Play Station 2 PCSX2 PC
Game Engine Base: Smack Down vs. Raw 2008 (2007) PS2.
Modders: VANCE 2727.
Current Version: Beta II Rev 2.1.

OVERVIEW:

This mod is based on restoring wrestlers removed from the previous installment, SVR 2007 plus the inclusion 
of some Wrestlers from the successor installment, SVR 2009 and Exclusives from other consoles such as the PSP 
filling in the unused non-Models slots. This mod focuses on only extending and improving the video game as if 
it were a DLC Pack for the version. This mod does not seek to replicate the year 2007, much less unlike other 
mods, if not for pure entertainment and nothing more. Each modder has their different approach.
 

**********************************************************************************************************
B2 UPDATE:
**********************************************************************************************************

• Two new wrestlers were added, The Miz from SVR 09 and Jillian Hall from SVR 07 although her moveset was based on SVR 09.
• The entire roster in the character selector has been ordered alphabetically except for The Miz and Jillian Hall who arrived shortly after. Some appear repeated and others out of order.
• The Legends and ECW Legends wrestlers were changed by assigning each of the 3 brands due to the fact that they could not be chosen in 24/7 season mode due to game crashes.
• Some movesets were corrected such as Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, Taz and Boggeyman.
• Fixed Kelly Kelly and Shawn Michaels alternate select images taking Paul London and Brian Kendrick's respectively due to conflicts with the ID calling it SVR 09.
• Fixed Bobby Lashley's moveset
• Completed Hulk Hogan's moveset which was incomplete in beta 1.
• Changes to Brian Kendrick's moveset which reuses Paul London's.
• Fixes to Maria Kanellis' moveset which includes bugs in tag team corner moves.
• Addition of alternate attires from SVR 07 and SVR 09 for the following wrestlers.
• A new arena Sathurday Night Main Event de SVR 09.
• Fixing Create a Moveset with new moves.
• Fixing Hulk Hogan SSFA pic in GM Mode.
• Champion entrance animation added to Trish Stratus, Big Show and Joey Mercury from SVR 07.
• Chris Benoit's Moves Featured in Create a Moveset.
• Some taunting and finishing moves were added from svr 09.
• Chris Jericho's entrance, titantron, finishing moves and taunting have been updated to feature the Jericho codebreaker from SVR 09.

**********************************************************************************************************
THINGS PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE:
**********************************************************************************************************

• Enable new Wrestlers in 24/7 season mode.
• Enable new Wrestlers in tournament mode.
• Make 7th Generation Ports to this mod XBOX 360/PS3 Versions.
• Make some wrestlers' win animations work.
• Multiple fixes in the new arena.

**********************************************************************************************************
COMMONS PROBLEMS:
**********************************************************************************************************

• Due to the removal of plsitps2.arc the game will take longer to boot.
• Titantrons and minitrons will take a while to load due to the removal of plistps2.arc.
• Some titantrons do not work like those of rick rude or jim neidhart even though a conversion to sfd was made.
• Some music on the menu after finishing will not start randomly and the menu will remain silent.
• The new selection pics have defacement problems in royal rumble match selector or in some other game modes.
• Some selection pics will have the wrong proportion.
• New Wrestlers cannot be selected in 24/7 mode naturally except by using the cheat engine.
• new Wrestlers cannot be selected in tournament mode as of yet.
• Sgt slaugter can cause crashes in the game due to errors in its textures since said model was converted from HCTP, 
• this happens in the SVR 2008 Plus mod by Sean O Connor which the latter authorized for use in this mod.
• The game could have incompatibility problems on OPL Real Hardware and Aether 32 Android.
• Even though the order of the wrestlers in the selector has been corrected and reordered, some wrestlers appear in an incorrect order despite assigning them an order id.
• The new moves added like hulk hogan still do not appear in create a movesets.
• Hulk Hogan will have traces of JBL like the winning animation and the references to commentators and announcers since he is in ID 14, while JBL returned to his real ID 24. 
• I need to find those files that manage the wrestlers' id.
• The new SNME arena for SVR 09 still doesn't have a working nameplate due to the files having a different layout in SVR 09. I'll see how this can be fixed for beta III later.
• The aforementioned arena is missing some basic objects such as the bell, the steps or the commentator tables. This is because I don't know which file contains the tables that handle the proops in each arena id.
• The aforementioned arena has the wrong proportion of the pre match screen due to the difference in proportion in svr 09. This can be fixed for another upcoming beta.
• and finally, the new arena does not have its selection image in the arena selector.
• Some of the added movements will be missing some sound effects which are from svr 09.
