*Version 2.0 Available! (updated data and separate cak files)

Features 👀
-
Accurate, animated stage graphics
- Accurate ringside props/comms area
- Custom meshes
- High-resolution textures
- Updates to Dynamite '24

Installation 🛠️
This mod utilises custom arena slots (800, 801) and therefore requires Meta.

*
If you've installed the previous Dynamite '24 mod, please DELETE the old Dynamite .cak file before installing these new ones.

  • You don't need to do anything with the .cak files, those are the physical assets pre-baked. just drop them both into your 'mods' folder located in your WWE 2K24 directory.

 

  • Make sure you have the latest CakeView/Cakehook set up and in use.

 

  • Make sure you have the latest hide file (from Discovery). This is important, because it essentially makes the arena playable from the selection screen.

 

  • Copy the data in my arenadata json to your arenadata. Simply highlight it all, copy and paste to the top of your file. Make sure to overwrite the previous Dynamite data. Serialize.

 

  • Do the same for the MovieDataTable. "movie_def" is copied to the top of the file, "arena_tron_def" is copied to the bottom. Serialize, bake and play.

JYK GameezYT

what arena does it replace

JYK GameezYT

i dont use meta i normally install arenas the other way just drag dropping the files in

Smokey

Fucking cooked

Ryan Plummer

Anyone else have the Matchup screen not work?

BillyFurious

Awesome work! Is there any way the turnbuckle style used in this arena could be easily imported to the WCW rings already in the game? It's that slight detail that makes it seem like the real deal. Thank you again, I'm loving this!

Jared Sanville

great arena but the matchup screen, replay and other stuff doesnt work

Titavius

For those asking about match up screens etc, like last year, those are being provided by iTwistedSpartan. You can follow his work on Discovery and PWM

Eric G

Awesome Job! Thanks and I figured it out.

Titavius

For those still having installation issues, another member has very kindly recorded a video walkthrough which shows you how to add to the arena data and movie table files. Be sure to check the guides channel in the Discovery Discord server!

Jason Gallo

i am having trouble it wont seralize. the data folder from the arena does that go into your data folder in your mod folder?

Eric G

Titavius, later down the road will you make a collision arena please?

Big Boss Mang

Awesome stuff, one thing I found though was in gauntlet (and i assume rumble matches) characters can get stuck in the stage when making their entrance.

Dom1nozs

Will you be porting your previous AEW arenas such as Revolution, Dynasty, and Rampage?

Maine Pro Wrestling

i did everything it said to do it will not let me play in the arena

Titavius

Those are being provided by iTwistedSpartan. You can follow his work on Discovery and PWM

BillyFurious

I'm assuming it's a bit more involved than I'd originally thought, lol. Trying to figure it out on my own but not sure where to start trying it myself. Thank you so much for the response!

Simon

if i don't see it in the game, where is the error? I used the meta as you said top and bottom pasted in right. arenadata and also Moviedatatable. The only thing i don't understand is hide? I put hide folder inside meta and bake and I also bake the Hide folder on it's own. Both i can't see the arena in menu.

J C

is password updated?

Speedy Boogie

game is crashing when selecting "Play" in menu when I add the new .cak file for collision? I followed the same steps and deleted the old dynamite .cak

J C

same issue for me

Speedy Boogie

i just chcked the .cak file and collision folder has no files compared to dynamite, might have to wait for an update?

Titavius

make sure to grab the latest hide file from Discovery if you haven’t already

Speedy Boogie

done already? your dynamite arena worked perfectly yesterday, installed the new files and nothing is working

uzxy1

bro i did everything right, even put the new hide file. but still the game is crashing?

Titavius

how did you copy the data? did you overwrite the previous slot 800 data?

Titavius

collision uses assets from the dynamite folder. it should load. it sounds like an arenadata issue maybe

soul

everything worked accordingly, but game crashes when running a match

Titavius

For those having issues, I think i've spotted the problem. Will update shortly :)

Terrance Washington

i put the updated cak file in and its still crashing

RuneVV3D

Yeah, update still crashing

Titavius

ok, can you guys let me know if this cak works? straight replace https://mega.nz/file/tmlSWSzK#6HDYg8TI4ljyuD-XhWZ5hz_4C2lp5Ex4fiw97s9PgiQ

RuneVV3D

Gonna test now, but from what I saw, it was the ref crashing it, picking a standard one worked, but let me test this new one

RuneVV3D

Still crashing with the default ref assigned (John Cone) EDIT: Charles Robinson too, so possibly all named refs

Titavius

Yeah, so it's a ref issue. We're testing currently, it seems for arenas on added slots, you have to use the standard ref. Can you confirm that the standard ref works?

RuneVV3D

I just checked other modded arenas and they seem to crash with named refs, so it's not just an issue with yours. For now I changed ref type to 4 on both arenas so the default is a standard ref.

RuneVV3D

Yep, standard ref works after I changed it on ArenaData

Sean Harris

CAN confirm Ref 4 fixes the crashing... will there be an update so any red can be used?

Titavius

so it's an issue with named refs crashing all arenas on added slots. not quite sure what the source of the issue is. perhaps the hide file, in which case it's not something i can fix since it's a wider issue

Hitman418

Used a Aubrey Edwards mod and assigned her to one of the unassigned ref numbers (12) and used that in the Arenadata jsfb and it worked without issue on the original download as well. If you're going to use her on all AEW arenas anyway that should fix the problem as long as you don't reassign the referee to be anyone else other than the standard ones before the match starts.

Jardel Aguirre Dias

The game crashes when I click "play" in the menu. I have the updated cake view and hide file.

Titavius

ok guys, noticed a few people are still having the "play" crash issue. looking into it now, but will hopefully have a new cak soon

Terrance Washington

It is working for me now, thank you so much for getting this sorted so very fast today. Arenas look amazing. 2K needs you on their team asap

FAR5222

Game crashes when I press play. I changed referee in the ArenaData to #4 it was 31 before, and it still crashes.

Titavius

To those still having crashing issues, are you able to test with the easy install edition and let me know if you have the same issues?

Speedy Boogie

sorry for the late reply but yes, i deleted the old arenadata for 800 and added in the new one in.

Titavius

Starting to think it’s a hide issue. Testing the easy install version will help determine that

Speedy Boogie

it is still crashing my game on "Play", either version. If it helps, I also have WM33 modded arena installed but that works fine still, removing the .cak file fixes the crash

Jai Miller

Game crashes with both easy install and meta install for me, had the 1.09 hide file so I thought that may be the issue, but I tried with the latest one and still no luck, also have the refs set to #4 in the arena data

Speedy Boogie

same bro, i just installed the previous version of Dynamite and it's working fine so ima just stick with that till there's a fix.

superjanvert

Unfortunately my friend, both have the same problem. I set the ref to 4 and tried again, but the crash continues. I almost went crazy.

Jai Miller

Yeah it’s really annoying haha, seems to be a cak issue after I tested a bunch of different things

Doodle Taintstain

Same issues as I'm seeing here. Reloaded with Easy Install and Full Version. Both .cak files cause the game to crash before you can even select the arena menu. Also changed ref value as well for both. No change.

Titavius

Hey guys - so I've uploaded an update. Made a few changes and split the arenas into separate cak files. Installation is the same, but you're now placing two cak files into your mods folder instead of one. The guys that I've tested with don't seem to have any issues, but please let me know if there's still crashing. Don't forget to grab the latest hide file if you haven't already :)

Speedy Boogie

Arena is loading perfectly after update! Thank you very much

Robin Waltke

is create a show still an issue? is there a proper fix these days?

quinton davis

I have done everything correct and still not showing up in game for me.

Jardel Aguirre Dias

After the update everything is working perfectly!

Titavius

Really glad to hear :) It looks like an issue with CakeView rather than the mods themselves, since splitting into separate cak files seems to work. Combining them however seems to corrupt the bake

quinton davis

Ok, so it's not the bake and play that replaces the payback and nxt arena work. But the arena thats on custom slots do not work.

Diego Ssj

Is there a way to use the custom slot ones in universe?

Titavius

hey, currently it's pretty glitchy and may cause crashing. it's an issue with the hide file's added slots rather than the arena itself. there is a workaround that seems to solve the problem for some people. it's down to the order in which you do things. 1.) on your show, select a default 2K arena 2.) set your arena graphics 3.) then set your custom arena, move up, hit save

BMan

is this still going to replace my payback and nxt no mercy

Christian Calderon

I was able to install just fine but Dynamite has no crowd noise, while collision does. Any idea why that might be? (insert joke about poor attendance here)

Titavius

you could try taking the 'crowd id' values from collision (801) and replace the ones in dynamite (800). let me know if that solves it, and i'll release an update :)

Christian Calderon

I replaced the crowd audio id in the dynamite json with collision one and it worked like a charm. Thank you

M

I just installed everything and I have no problems, everything is working great. Nice arena mods
