How to add additional attires using X-Packer

Thanks to Brienj, becks and Andy for providing some of the info contained in this tutorial.



Remember to take a backup of all your files before attempting this.


EDIT: Here's a dummy pac file with has 12 Attires already loaded. Just inject your PACH files into it: http://netload.in/dateiUhm8mtC4gT/dummy_wrestler_wwe2k14.rar.htm

1. Firstly you need to find a PAC file which has the correct number of attires or more attires than you require. It can be any Pac file. I usually like to use the Edge Pac file because it has lot of alternate and entrance attires.  Or you can use the dummy pac posted above.



2. Prepare all the PACH files you wish to insert. Open your PAC file (in this case I am using Edge’s Pac so it’s 110.pac).



3. Inject all the PACH files you wish to overwrite. I am going to be creating and entrance attire for nWo. Hogan so I want to insert two PACH files, one for his entrance and in ring. I am going to overwrite the 0011002 and 0011004 PACH files in the Edge archive. Even though there are four PACH files, there is no need to overwrite all as we are only going to use two.



4. Now you need to rename the PACH files to match the model Id you are going to replace. Since we are going to be adding attires to Hollywood Hogan which has an ID of 121, the ID’s of your PACH files will start with 000121**. The remaining two numbers will depend on what type of model it is. 02 Is the ring model for the first attire and 04 is then entrance model. 12, 14, 22, 24, 32, 34 are the id’s for the second third and fourth attires.



5. Since I am replacing the entrance and ring models for the first attire, I rename 00011002 to 00012102 and 00011004 to 00012104. Even though we are not using the other PACH files in the archive, I rename these to 00012112 and 00012122. This is done so that the application doesn’t overwrite Edge’s values in the arc file when we are updating later. Don’t close X-Packer you will need it to update the arc file later.  If you are using the dummy PAC I posted, there is no need to rename the PACH files you are not using as X-Packer will not find 000DUM** in the arc file.

6. Remember to rename the actual pac file to the name of the pac you are going to replace. In this case Edge’s file is called 110.pac. This is renamed to 121.pac so as to replace Hogan’s pac.

7. Now you need to edit the misc.pac file to get the game to load the additional attires. Follow this tutorial on editing the Misc.pac file in X-Packer : Click here
