VPW Studio

Some of you might have been wondering what I've been up to after putting the Fire Pro World Save Tool on hiatus...

VPW Studio is a tool that helps with ROM hacking the various N64 games in the Virtual Pro-Wrestling series. It's still in the early stages of development, though.

I don't have a complete image of the final product in my head, but I've been working towards one. The current design of the program is biased towards total conversion projects targeting real hardware.

Please do not ask me when there will be a release, as a lot of user-proofing still needs to be done, aside from actually implementing the missing parts.

Current Features (not a complete list):

• FileTable viewer/editor (most game data lives here) for all games except WCW vs. nWo World Tour NTSC-U v1.0 and PAL.
• Text editor (for AkiText files)
• Image preview (CI4/16 colors, CI8/256 colors, I4/16 values, Menu Backgrounds)
• Image import (CI4, CI8, Menu BGs)
• Default Stable definition editor

Planned Features:

• Arena Editor
• Championship Editor (doubles as Story Mode editor for World Tour, VPW64, Revenge)
• Costume editor
• Menu editor
• Move editor (properties, animations)
• Sound/Music editor
• Story Mode editor (WM2K, VPW2, No Mercy)
• Weapon editor
• Wrestler editor (includes profile, movesets, params, logic, default costumes)
