    ​@@dc37wwe2kmods First of All Big Thank you for this Tutorial everything was well-explained .. I have few notes that Can save you time a bit , sorry i couldn't resist 😅 First of all instead of Creating Directories for the meta files , its possible to Export a whole directory , you can click on the icon that have a right arrow in caketools , its easier and time saving and after that you can delete the unnecessary files SDB file should be exported from baked60 because it contains the DLC Strings that are being added to the game after each update , i realized that after few updates 😅 for SDB Editor , I suggest you to use the built-in SDB Editor that is in Meta 2 , it can fix your sdb file post-update and can add strings without changing the ID value for the strings , it generates them by itself for VSCode I have a guidance txt file that can help me memorize everything that needs to be added to a slot , i keep it open every time am adding someone , let me know if you need it 😁 For Commentary and Announcer IDs , I would suggest keeping them with 65535 as they will silence the Announcer and make the wrestler have generic commentary (its handy when there are no more callnames available to replace in Sound Editor) and finally for Character and Render Mappings , Its not an issue but for me I like adding the data in order , such as 475 data to be added underneath 474 data instead of adding it at the bottom , its not a big deal but its better to keep things organized 😅 Sorry for this whole paragraph but I wanted to give you few tips to make things a bit easier for you and for everyone else😅 Thank you again and Looking forward your next Projects 😍

I modded in Adam Cole and he is in the game but he does not have a name along with other DLC superstars that were already in the game (Elton Prince, Kit Wilson, Harley Race, Tony D' Angelo, Trick Williams and Ivy Nile). Those mentioned are at the bottom of the roster list with nothing at all for their name. Hope you can help me out...

    Dude, this whole time it was windows deleting the Memory.dll in my meta folder. So if anyone else has a meta crashing issue it might be Windows - I made an exception to the modded folder (All files for modding wwe) and it is now working as intended. Much love to you good sir and this video!

    Thank you for the tutorial man, I had a few issues with some of the steps because the SDB needs to be imported from 60 not 00 otherwise it breaks DLC names and the meta folder needed to be baked in 51 on my game or it would not work. All of my other mods are baked on 61 but the Meta data did not want to work in that slot, after I tweaked that, everything worked good as gold. Seemed a lot more confusing on paper than it actually is once you get into it, still, the tutorial was a nice guide just to make sure I was doing it all right the first time.

    thank you. Just follow them in order. However, adding wrestlers through such a cumbersome process is too much work. It felt like walking on thin ice because if you make a single mistake during the process, the game will crash. Until another simple mod tool comes out, it is currently a very difficult and time-consuming task.

    Hi i was following along and i just had a quick question, i know you can add new wrestlers using the dummy slots, but i was wondering if the same applies to the list titled "Unused Wrestler IDs" on the PWM wiki? I noticed that they have 'Wrestler IDs' but no 'Slot IDs' associated with them which is why i was curious. I was hoping they would be usable for this cause it would significantly open up the number of added wrestlers you could have without replacing any. Especially if there is a way to create new 'Slot IDs' or if there is also a list of unused 'Slot IDs'. Also i haven't finished the video yet so if you already addressed this in the video than my bad.

    After two weeks of countless crashes and crashes, I only managed to inject the ivory diva into the wrestler id 476 (a completely empty slot) to even run the game. Everything is perfect. I went on to try to inject an extra diva into 477 slots, but it didn't run. I created an ivory by copying the complete Bribella's json data, but with it, there's constant conflict in making my second, melina. I give up here. Rather, it is comfortable to use a mode injector that injects into the existing wrestler's id. I felt uncomfortable while paying for this. For two weeks, I was under the illusion that I became a programmer to have a diva in the game. He made his appearance successful today, but I suddenly felt skeptical that it was worth playing with this much effort.

    Instead I figured out how to use this annoying, difficult, and annoying meta for another purpose. Characters, Landers, and gfx use mod injectors and meta fixes small details that mod injectors cannot change. Once you use the mode injector to run the character properly, you can change the character's height, birthplace, weight, announcer's comment, and commentator's comment using meta. I found an id in the sound editor for the announcer comment used in the caW and tried typing it into the meta, but I couldn't hear anything. This would be better if the announcement comment was changed by meta.
