so many different stuff for it (even tho only found by asking other ppl, can't even find on google!) but all i got is the XXI Explorer 1.5 its pretty cool i messed with a few things, but the program no offence 2 the owner, it kinda sux, i mean, all it does is let you extract/import (by replacing other files) lil things..
Well, that's exactly what you need to hack or mod the game, so wtf are you talking about?
QUOTE(joemamahunt @ Aug 5 2005, 03:19 AM)
i found the "Resign" program but it doesnt even open, it sure does sound like a cool program tho..
Do a search for DOS program tutorials on Google.

You cannot just randomly "add" files to a game resource. The game executable looks for specific filenames and filesizes. Do you honestly think that you can just add any code you want in a game and expect the main executable not to crash or complain? The art of making extractors and rebuilders requires intimate knowledge of the file format. This alone can be a daunting task sometimes. Try it and you will understand.
yes, i do know what your talking about, however, lets take a rvd.k file for example, lets say you extract it and somehow modify it, however, you still want to use the original RVD, but nope, cannot add no files...
even tho this sounds like it wouldent work properly, but it all depends on the file, the code, the source, the everything, its all different, i have modded games with similar files/compressions, for some, it doesnt work, for others, works perfectly, but liek i said, it depends on the file...
well, anywho, thats not what this thread is about realy, so, any mod creators with d/l'able mods? and also whats the newest/best programs for wm21 moddings so far?
oh and 1 more thing, i know this is very off topic but, where can i find the codec to play files from xbox games? when i open them it says it is looking for the codec, but then can't find it..

.. i'm talking about real hacking, adding files to the .wad files, editing the .k files, editing game saves, ect. big things that actially have a bigger effect on the game.. not just editing the looks, i mean, why in the world can younot add files to the .wad files?
QUOTE(joemamahunt @ Aug 6 2005, 12:40 AM)
well, not what i meant, that stuff is easy, i'm talking about making your own .k files, inserting them, then in the character table making up the character and using that .k file..
It isn`t necessary to add files to the WAD Archives, many things can be loaded off the WM21 Main directory.
You may want to take a look at my WM21 ModPack v1, it actually adds over 30 new Skins without overwriting the old ones.
Screenshots:

You can download it here:
http://www.wrestling...showtopic=14470
The Install guide included in this pack is in German and English.
yea, i've seen it before, its pretty good, however i have dial-up and it will take me about 6 or 7 hours to download it..
do you have them in seperate files?
and i love the blood mod, is there any way i could download that seperate from the mod pack?
k, i just d/l'ed it, pretty cool, however, i would wonna see some new wrestlers...
i know it is possible.. i'm working on a few, well, i'm just testing everything out first, but i'll get some done someday 
any other mod makers with mods? i'm looking for new superstars..
and how do you hack into your game save account & change the ammount of point you have to use up in shopzone?
I want to see real austin and hollywood rock added stuff like that also added my own music using XXIExplorer but i started get even more freeze ups then the game already has i set them all as
ADPCM
44.100khz 4bit stereo
and cut them down to 2min max but still have problems.
Ok, I'll go ahead and reveal something. Just add a .wma file (44,100Hz, 16bit, 128kbps, stereo) into a directory, and just make the reference to that instead of the .wav file. 
That's how I added theme songs for added wrestlers.

cheers for help.
I just found all of the WM 21 mods and stuff from wrestlinggames.de last night and it has made this game A LOT more fun to play. Thanks to the people who help late/newcomers like me.
Is there any way to replace some of the wrestlers in the game that don't matter much?
Which file is it I have to edit to redirect for the music?
QUOTE(Charbless @ Aug 8 2005, 10:36 PM)

Some fun editables:
character_table.xml (HD.wad)
career.xml (HD.wad)
shopzone.xml (HD.wad)
they are the EASIEST things possible to edit, they are just XML.
I have tried to edit enviroments.xml (DVD3.wad), but the other knv ares don't seem to compatible with actual matches. You can change the not area rings to work with hell in a cell though i think (though no cell). It would just be a falls count anywhere match. I think you just have to change somehitng like small=true to small=false.
brad, use XXI explorer 1.5, it gets rid of the filesize problem
Luke, you don;t need to replace anything, character_table.xml is a reference file with all the inbuilt superstats listed. Delete them from there, they are gone from the game... Add a new wrestler, they are there seperatly...
as long as you remember that you can put .k files in /characters/ folder and it would be like they are in the wad.
joe... you don't need tons of money... check shopzone.xml
Oh, and brienj, am i correct that the resign program doesn't work on unpatched XXIs?

Hi all,
Can anyone give me links for the modpacks, i have found one for the beta3.zip but the speed drops off to about 2kbps after an hr downloading and thats on a 1/2 meg line....
if anyone can help it would be appreciated, i have the first mod pack with goldberg, vince etc... but would love to try the newer ones with Austin in etc.... and the one coming soon beta4.zip....
QUOTE(joemamahunt @ Aug 14 2005, 05:40 PM)
well, not trying to advertise but..
security reasons, much better for forums stats, ect. a lot of reasons really..
but, in case u wonna know whats there.. right now there is 22 individual mods, 2 mod packs, 2 tutorials, and about 3 tools, more coming soon tho..
but na don't worry its no rip off, i hate it when people do it, and i'm not like that, if u join & wonna un-join, let me know & i'll make it happen with no problem, thats what makes that forum different from others, we actially care more about the members than the actuall forum or posting or whatever.
You copy dvd3.wad into the xxi folder same with the enviroments.xml then open xxi and click open .wad then you click on dvd3 it will bring list of files up which you then find enviroments.xml and highlight over it then import it will import the new file over it when you have done that you close xxi and copy the dvd3 back to wm21.

i guess it could be possible by editing the superstar's movelist file(s), but i have no idea if its even possible..
I don't think anyone has ever successfully edited a moveset. (PLEASE correctect me if i am wrong)
You could try editing charatcter_table.xml, with a charisma of more than 10 (not really sure what would happen there... interesting)

When I finally finish with my mod, you'll learn how.
If your getting impatient thats your problem the people doing the mods are using there free time and dont get paid to do this stuff also theres other mods out go get one of them.

The only way I know to edit movesets is to import them back in as CAS (but i never got this to work)
It's no use getting impatient, brienj will release his mod whenever, if ever, as he sees fit. I am suprised to see him back, i remember him posting a "goodbye for now" message

hey do you guys need any help figuring out the WM21 models or aything like that? I got a friend who is good with formatting and stuff like that
Is there anyway to download the Wrestlemania 21 patch online without XBL? I have dial up and it sucks cause I'm stuck on the game where it won't let you defend the titles. Any help would be great thanks guys.
