Here is what I did: Fixed HIAC to Remove Waves:BeforeAfter
Fixed Side Ramp Textures (All WCW Arenas)
Before
After Squared off/improved Mats (removed extra grey mats)(All Arenas except Saturday Night/Nitro)Before
After Revised Road Wilde Stage and Floor by adding new grass Before After Added new Lights for all Arenas (unless current one was good enough) and deposited those in my "generic" texture folder.
These enhancements/improvements are for all 15 of his WCW arenas.FYI: If you notice your stage texture is incorrect or “fighting” with another texture during entrances, go to the arena edit .txt files for the said arena, remove “AR00_Stage_C”, and remove the .csv line that populates part “AR00_Stage_C”. I had this issue with a few arenas and uploaded new .csv and .txt files if you don't want to deal with editing them yourself.

If you enjoy my arenas and want to donate some money for the time I put in to create them, please see PayPal link below. Most of the arena’s I create take about 5-10 hours of work, with the more complicated ones taking sometimes between 15-20 hours. This includes researching on the WWE Network (Peacock), creating textures, and placing components.
I intent to continue creating arenas for Fire Pro Wrestling World for the foreseeable future and will never put any of them behind a paywall. They will always be 100% free, for you to use, edit, and redistribute.
You may also want to consider a donation to CarlZilla, who created the ArenaEdit tools and all of the other amazing Modpack features: www.patreon.com/ModPack. You can also paypal him directly - see the Discord for more information.

Added another variant of WrestleMania 33 (5) and retextured all of those to include WRESTLEMANIA writing on the globe. See spoilers below. If you don't like the globe writing, the original versions still available in my drive and I also added daylight ramp (minor adjustment) and crowd textures.
Mix and match options as you like :)

All of the arena’s I make from this point forward will be using the new ArenaEdit features, which are currently being worked on in the test version. If you use the ArenaEdit mod, here is what you need to do: 1) New arenas will fall under the folder “Arena Textures (Arena Edit Mod)” in my google drive 2) Place the files in ArenaEdit in your (…\Steam\steamapps\common\Fire Prowrestling World\ModPackData\ArenaEdit) folder.
My FirePro Wrestling World game is installed in my D drive, therefore the texture files assigned in my .csv files are also assigned to look in the D drive. If you are using another drive, YOU MUST CHANGE THE FILE ETENSION IN THE .CSV FILE TO THE CORRECT DRIVE OR IT WILL NOT WORK.
3) Place ArenaMats\ARXX in the normal texture folders you would have before: (…\Steam\steamapps\common\Fire Prowrestling World\RingMats\ArenaMats\ARXX)
Added WCW Beach Blast 1992 (AR02) and Name Plate - Revised WWF Survivor Series 2001 (AR00) and added name plate - Revised WrestleMania 33 (AR09) - Revised WCW Nitro 1999/2000 (AR00)

Post by pugs on Aug 7, 2021 22:15:12 GMT
I am getting a lot of questions about how to install my newer arena's. Please follow this guide below: We'll use my SMACKDOWN! 2002 as the example in this tutorial. You can follow the same process for other arenas. This tutorial assumes that you have the Component Disable.dll and the most up-to-date PWGR Patcher and ModPack installed. For more information, see my tutorial on the component disable: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mox0VDjqK9c and visit the ModPack Testing Ground discord: discord.gg/Y8aw6eHm. I would also encourage you to view Carlzilla’s tutorial on how to use the ArenaEdit features: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYI53Mawz2E if you are interested in making your own arenas. 1) Go to my google drive and download the arena folder you want (e.g. SMACKDOWN! 2002) by right clicking on the folder and clicking download. 2) Unzip and place the downloaded folder onto your desktop 3) Open the folder and place all of the .png files (WWE Smackdown 02_, WWE Smackdown 02_Floor, WWE Smackdown 02_Lights, WWE Smackdown 02__Parts, WWE Smackdown 02__Stage) into your “ …\Steam\steamapps\common\Fire Prowrestling World\RingMats\ArenaMats\AR00” folder. Some of my arena’s offer an alternative ramp, stage, and side tron colors. Feel free to swap out textures files from the Alternative Stages-Ramp Colors folder. Just be sure to rename the file as to what is in the main folder (e.g. WWE Smackdown 02__Stage2 (White).png would be renamed WWE Smackdown 02__Stage.png and placed in the AR00 folder). 4) Place the ArenaEdit folder you downloaded into the “ …\Steam\steamapps\common\Fire Prowrestling World\ModPackData” folder. ***Steps 5 and 6 are critical as this is where most people have issues. Pay extra close attention here***5) Go into “ …\Steam\steamapps\common\Fire Prowrestling World\ModPackData\ArenaEdit” and search for the AR00 – WWE Smackdown 2002.csv, AR00 – WWE Smackdown 2002.txt, and AR00 – WWE Smackdown 2002_Ent.txt files. Each of these files are named in the following format: [AR00] - [RING NAME].csv [AR00] - [RING NAME].txt [AR00] - [RING NAME]_Ent.txt Verify that the ring name of each file matches the in-game ring name, EXACTLY. If your ring is named Smackdown 02 in game, you need alter the file names to: AR00 – Smackdown 02.csv AR00 – Smackdown 02.txt AR00 – Smackdown 02_Ent.txt If your ring is named WWE Smackdown 2002 in game, you need alter the file names to: AR00 – WWE Smackdown 2002.csv AR00 – WWE Smackdown 2002.txt AR00 – WWE Smackdown 2002 _Ent.txt Yes, that includes the space before and after the hyphen as well. The only other option is to rename the in game ring to match the ring name in title of the file. If that segment of your file name does match the in game ring, the arena edit .csv will not load. Here is an example of how it should look: A common error some people run into here is that the .csv and .txt file downloads as "AR00_-_WWE Smackdown 2002" from the google drive. If that happens, rename those files so the underscores become spaces. 6) Open the WWE Smackdown 2002.csv file (or whatever you renamed it to) in Microsoft Excel and expand column C so you can view the whole file path. Verify that the file paths in column C actually lead to the proper folders. The best way to do this is to verify the file path up until it hits Steam. I have my path set up as: D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam...Other creators such as CujoMatty (http://firepro2.com/t/cujomattys-stuff-wcw-1998-redone/830) sets his files up like this: D:\Steam…If Steam is installed on your C drive, you probably have something like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam... or C:\Program Files\Steam...You have ensure that the file paths listed in the csv file actually lead to the files in your Steam Fire Pro Wrestling folder. If you have to edit the file content, consider using the Ctrl + F Replace function. Once you make the proper changes in column C, save the file and close it. (FYI: csv files ask you if you want to save when you close them, even if it’s saved or nothing changed – this is normal). **If you do not own a copy of Microsoft Excel, consider Open Office, which is free and can edit .csv files. Check it out here: www.openoffice.org/ ** 7) Open Fire Pro Wrestling World. Once the game and modpack open, go to Arena Texture Database, add a ring, and select your in game ring under the Ring Selection Tab: 8) Click on the Ringside Texture tab, and select the first .png file associated with your ring, in this case it is WWE Smackdown 02'. Please note, AR00 falls under Big Garden Arena, AR01 falls under SCS Stadium, etc. **It is not a big deal if the .png files aren't named exactly after your arena, like the .csv files.**9) Pull up the Arena Edit window from the mod pack and select the proper arena and ring (in this case, Madison Square Garden and WWE Smackdown 2002 (or again, whatever you named it). If the file properly loads, you should see the .csv file content populate on the screen. 10) For good measure, click Update and then Save. If you get an error message saying that “One of the entries is pointing to an invalid texture file”, you need to close the game, go back to the .csv file, and reexamine the texture file path names. Something is not leading to the proper path or you are missing the texture file. If you experience any issues, drop a comment and let me know. If you think I left something important out of this guide, please let me know! I love this game and enjoy helping the community – just give me a shout.

WWF RAW 1999 ------------------------------------------------------ In addition to uploading the arena, I thought it would be cool to give everyone a little behind the scenes look at what things are like from my end as I build the arena. Please feel free to ask questions if you have any. First thing I did was upload a variety of different 2D bent truss images that I either found on google, free png texture sites, and other shared Fire Pro files. I went through about 3 or 4 textures. Very early on, I wanted to create a 3D effect that game the bent trusses some visual appeal, but as you can see on the left side, it just didn’t look good. It was time to go a different route…. This was my first attempt at trying to create a 3D truss, as you see on the left. The texture wasn’t polished but a quick look at texture gave me an idea of what was possible. After so long of staring at the side trusses, I wanted to break to work on the big screen. The reason this was assembled in pieces is because stretching a small image of a screen made the metal bars you see here about 2-3 times larger than they appear. It had to be resized in photoshop, and broken down into four pieces, all each individually placed. This is the Lower Left (LL in the files) piece. Somewhere along the line I decided to turn on an episode of WWF Raw episode to note the design of the trusses and how they intersect with the main screen. I tried resizing some of the existing textures to see what would/could work. Both options look good but I prefer going with the option that most reflects the real set…so left side it is. Then I said fuck it…let me build this truss myself. What you see here are two edited images of the truss outlines, placed just a few units away from each other to provide a 3D effect. The hard part was now getting a small metal piece to appear in the right place connecting them. You can see my first shot at adding those tiny metal pieces on the upper part of the truss. Each piece took about 3-5 minutes to place. And you can see the addition of the other pieces. Please note I only placed those tiny metal pieces for the first truss (the most inner truss). Once those were in place, I exited the game, copied the 9 csv lines associated with the truss, copy and pasted them two times and increased/decreased the x/z values by a factor of 1.1 (twice) using excel formulas to duplicate the work. Think smarter, not harder ;) Then I added lights, additional piece of metal near the bottom…left trusses coming in hot! For those of you who have used ArenaEdit, you know that crashes can become a normal activity once you have around 10 or so items in the .csv file. What I did to alleviate that issue and maintain the speed at which I working was to duplicate the csv file, make one of them the “final” version, and isolate just the left truss in the other csv file. Once I finished the south truss, I took those lines of information, pasted them to my final version csv, and then did some excel math for the other two trusses. The WWF.com was one my favorite items to create. I believe this is an earlier version. I ended up making it darker to fit the arena better. Once I was in a comfortable place with the trusses, I added all the other goodies, starting with the stage texture…this is when it started to really take shape. The rest of it from here was straight forward and this is the final product.

- Fixed a layering issue on WWE Raw 1999. If you had teams come out, the stage parts would overlap the north most entrant. If you already have the arena, you just need to update the csv file.
