How to Port a Character from 2k22 or 2K23 to WWE2K24

[@lubevliza1914]

Best tutorial out there, in the other tutorials no one told about fixing the crashes by exporting the hpl file, THE BEST TUTORIAL OUT THERE !!!

I appreciate the support, Thanks for the kind words, if you have any issues going forward DM me on Discord, sitsabeast#8658

Great tutorial, easy to understand! I have one question, I did try to port 265_Brock_Lesnar_2003, all works well except his body has holes in it, what would cause this? Subbed Edit: I found my issue, Calculate vertex tangents seems to break chars, probably used for more stationary things like props etc.

[@taylorellis695]

The model I ported is missing their eyes and their hair is just flat? What can I do to fix it?

Hey mate, thanks a lot for your tuto, very helpful. However, I had some problems with the hair and beard textures : they look transparent each time I use cakeview. Any clues ? You don't convert your texture files ?

[@SiTiNo187]

Hair and beard look off in game? I have a video with hair texture fix, maybe that can help with your issue?

[@Kiba689]

@@SiTiNo187 Ok I will try that. Thanks again for helping us !

Very helpful tutorial. I'm trying to port a Sting character from 2k23, at first when I would do it and view the entrance there would just be some floating eyes and teeth. Now I've fixed that, but he only comes out as the base model, no attire. So just a bald dude with some facepaint and trunks. Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?

[@jugadormasvalioso]

hello can you do a tutorial like instead of port do a backport from 2k24 to 2k23 please

[@SiTiNo187]

I wouldn't be able to since i do not own 2k23, but im sure its as simple as loading up the 2k24 in blender then export using the 2k23 mdl plugin, not 100% sure but thats how i would do it if i had the game to test it i would have definitely done a video on it

[@ashikar3125]

Hi buddy, Is it possible to port the masked superstars like, Gran metalik, kalisto..? whenever i try to port them, the mask got missing? Any insight pls?

[@SiTiNo187]

of course, its most likely a MTLS issue, hit me up on Discord so i can see screenshots to help more, sitsabeast#8658

Hi! new to the modding scene and just wanna know why am i not seeing the mdl file when i open up import on render? do i need to install something first?

[@SiTiNo187]

Yeah, become a Patreon to PWM (Prowrestlingmods.io) go to their discord and download the MDL, Cakeview and YCL Reformatter

[@RobinZiel2]

For me everything works fine but the face is black. what i have to do?

[@SiTiNo187]

i do have a video on the black head issue, but some ppl still have issues going that route, so if everything looks good but you just have the issue of face is black then change the head shader in material editor from yCh_head::Normal to yCh_skin::Normal, if you have any other issues hmu with a DM on Discord sitsabeast#8658

I’ve downloaded all the links on pwm discord, mdl still doesn’t show up on blender import, what am I doing wrong? Do I need to do something inside each folder download?? I’ve already unzipped each of them ! Thanks for the help ! New subscriber btw!

[@SiTiNo187]

download the MDL plugin, go to edit, preferences, addons, install, find the zip file MDL plugin you downloaded, click it, then you should see a box next to visual concepts mdl, check it off and close it out, now you should see import visuals concepts mdl

[@B-T-G]

i got excited seeing this video, please help, my blender doesnt have "visual concepts mdl" in import options, do i need to update my 3.5 blender and i don't have the " ycl reformat to 2024" file, can u assist

[@SiTiNo187]

both the MDL plugin and ycl Reformat file are in the PWM Server on Discord, not sure if you can find it in a google search, but i got them from PWM server, visit prowrestlingmods.io and click on discord, going to have to be a Patreon Member to access the files tho

[@B-T-G]

@@SiTiNo187 joined the PWM server and I still can't find the plugin, is the "no access" thing I read about a different server? An how can one access i5

[@SiTiNo187]

have to sign up to their patreon and link your discord to it, to access their files

[@xSzCz3Ry]

What if the BaseModel doesn't have a ycl file?

[@SiTiNo187]

doesn't need one, its ok

[@jokliang3083]

How can I port 2k24 models to 2k23？

[@SiTiNo187]

I haven't done it but i know 2k23 has a plugin for blender, so using the 2k24 plugin, import the 2k24 character, then export using the 2k23 plugin, making sure you import shape keys and export the shape keys, again i've never done it and can't test since I do not own 2k23

[@govnopers9317]

Hey, can I port 2k24-23 mods to 2k22? My 2k24 crashes so I wanted to port some of mods to 2k22 but I don't know how. Maybe you can show me how to do it in discord?

[@SiTiNo187]

I don't own 2k22 so i wouldn't know if it does work, I would have to test it and see what works and what doesn't, I wouldn't be the right guy since i don't own 22, why does your 24 crash? hmu on discord, sitsabeast#8658

[@FuZiOnSEdits]

will this work with 2k19 characters aswell?

[@SiTiNo187]

with 2k19 files they come in a .pac format, you need x-packer to extract the files from within pac then use reshape to load the yobj files that you extracted and then extract the .obj files from the yobj, then in blender you load the .obj files and have to parent the objects to a 2k24 skeleton, transfer weights, set rotations and clear seams and other stuff to get it right, the hair won't have animation so you will need to find a CAS hair thats similar in style to fit on your 2k19 character and use the ycl from that CAS

[@FuZiOnSEdits]

@@SiTiNo187 could you make a tutorial please for this
