Notice that holding over the model also lets you see the results from any angle. This can also be achieved by touching the specific part of the 3D model as a shortcut to that section. You can change the colour of any material using the sliders - although you may have to deliberately change that body part again to remind the editor which part you want to apply colour to. Best practice is to set up the materials you want first with NO flesh and THEN add the flesh parts afterwards. This revamped editor makes a distinction between flesh and the material above, which can be fiddly at first but is the key to getting so many possibilities out of each costume. The head and body shape must be consistent across all 3, but everything else can be changed. Note that the game deliberately uses low resolution textures to keep loading times down and performance up! Deviate from this formula at your own risk.Ĭostumes When you access a character to edit them, you will notice that they have 3 distinct costumes - one for wrestling, a 2nd for backstage meetings, and a 3rd for refereeing.
Any effect that requires MULTIPLE textures (such as flesh) can be replaced but cannot yet be expanded upon as code is needed to put it all together. They must be the exact same file type, in lower case, numbered sequentially, etc. Replacing Textures Most of the game’s textures and models can be found where the game is installed: Steam\steamapps\common\Wrestling Revolution 3D Not only can you replace the existing files, but any correctly named additions to these folders should also be loaded into the game at launch. S = Save as default characters / rosters. Keyboard Shortcuts At the character selection screen, there are a handful of keyboard shortcuts that may help you change the rosters: W = Set as World Champion. If you drop them over the company logo you may even be able to instantly trade them to a different brand! Notice that if you click the logo from here you can also leave to access another roster. If you HOLD over the same slot for a moment, you will notice that they become unplugged and can be moved over any other slot to swap places.
Clicking a slot ONCE will highlight it for you to view their credentials, whereas DOUBLE clicking will proceed to select them for whatever purpose you are there for. You can scroll past the first 18 by clicking and dragging the mouse.
Rosters When you click on a company's logo, you will be taken to a grid full of the names they have on their books. Alternatively, you could press S at the character selection screen to create a “Characters.txt” file, then S at the roster selection screen to create a “Rosters.txt”, and then paste these over the default files where the game is installed and choose “Restore Defaults”. They can then “Restore” this whenever they wish to affect those changes. If you wanted to create a “Real World Patch”, for instance, you would make all of your changes, “backup” your universe, copy the “BackupCharacters.sol” and “BackupRosters.sol” files, and have the recipient paste these into their own saved game folder. It is strongly recommended that you use the game’s “Backup” and “Restore” functions instead of tinkering with defaults. But you can also overwrite these files from inside the game by pressing the S key at either the roster or character selection screen respectively. The names of wrestlers or promotions may be the only intelligible things you can change from this perspective. It is conceivable that you may also want to edit the DEFAULT characters and rosters, which can be found as text files in the game’s folder: Steam\steamapps\common\Wrestling Revolution 3D Characters.sol and Rosters.sol contain the CURRENT status of all the characters and promotions. Transferring Data Whether you want to back up your own data or share it with someone else, you may be interested to know that all of your personal progress is saved to the following folder: C:\Users\?\AppData\Roaming\WR3D\Local Store\#SharedObjects\Game.swf It is strongly recommended that you do not move the files Options.sol or System.sol as they are of no benefit to anybody else! Booking.sol and Career.sol contain your progress in the respective career mode. It is strongly recommended that you back-up any files or folders before changing them irrevocably!!!
