Such a legendary wrestling game. One of the best wrestling games ever. I still own my copy and play the game nowadays. A true classic. 💙

**TL;DR:** Free tools for modding WWE 2K19 through 2K26 (PC only for now). All downloads - source and compiled - are on the website: https://auroraforge.live/beta4.html

## What is Aurora Forge NT100 (100% Not Tribute)?

It is my answer to being told that my money and opinion didn't mean s**t to the developers of other modding tools.

People (myself included) have poured years of subscription money into tools that then punish them for a single missed payment: features that were already downloaded get deliberately locked, multi-file extraction gets cut down to one file at a time, and years of continuous support suddenly mean nothing.

I was working on my stupid prompt builders, not bugging anyone, when I needed a fresh extraction. I loaded up CakeView and... wtf, multi-file extraction is a Patreon feature? I asked about it and was told "Meh." So yeah, nah.

The answer became obvious: build the free alternative and automate the entire pipeline so those gates stop mattering. Every format I map, every offset I solve, and every workflow I automate is one less gate anyone can use to squeeze the community.

The goal is a full toolkit that is free, complete, and stays complete.

## Who am I?

I have been modding since the early PC wrestling days. My roots are the original MDickie modding scene, where I wrote the first PC wrestling game mod for an MDickie title. I code across just about every stack imaginable, from low-level Assembly to high-level automation pipelines. If a computer speaks it, I have built with it.

My philosophy: tear down the barriers to asset extraction. I do not believe in paywalling downloaded software, cutting off features, or exploiting creators. Every time I automate a tool or crack a new file format, it is one less gate anyone can use to squeeze the community.

Active projects: automating the complete PC and console wrestling game asset pipelines, and multi-file parallel extraction tools with zero feature gates. Outside the dev environment my time goes into wrestling, MMA, and deep strategy gaming.

One note: I am pretty chill, but if I come across as blunt or quiet during active dev hours, that is just deep focus in the structural math - it is not personal.

I am taking the scene back. Let's build.

For context, I’m onto my third year in my universe mode, starting on SvR 2011 and currently two months into WWE 13.

I’ve found over the course of my universe mode, booking top stars has been usually consistent but quite mismatched. Having a lot of main event superstars is a challenge to manage because I’d want them all to succeed but only few to have meaningful reigns. That results in me leaving some superstars on the back burner until a later point where I want them to return to start challenging for a title or being back in the main event.

For example, I currently have John Cena & CM Punk set up for a back-and-forth for the WWE Championship, where ultimately Punk will come out victorious and Cena could step back or challenge for a new title (US?)

Randy Orton on Smackdown had won the WHC off of Booker at Extreme Rules, but now I have Randy, Booker, Edge, Triple H, Chris Jericho, Mark Henry, Kane etc on Smackdown and all main event worthy, all while trying to retain their high status.

I hate it when I set up a spot and then my opponent or the referee or someone slides into the ring and knocks over my table. So I made this mod that makes that not happen anymore. This works by instantly resetting the tables state every time it's told to be knocked down. I also increased the weight of them, which means that the pieces don't go flying all over the place when they break.

This is part of a general QoL mod I'm working on, which includes several features that fix many annoyances with this game, like getting a warning every time you wanna use a custom arena, automatically skipping the intro videos, being able to change all the button prompts from xbox to playstation or switch, and more. Like my other mods, this will be included with my free modding tool when it releases. Stay tuned.

Am I missing something or are some arenas, like the Japan Dome, just randomly not available to be used in Universe Mode?

Guys,

Cage matches are laughable. 90% of the time the opponent is just staring at you while you climb out the cage. It also so limited and boring. I remember in older games cage matches were fun

Hell in cell. Same thing. The cell just seems too small and doing the same back and forth ringside is so slow and boring

Casket and ambulance matches need a whole different mechanic. It’s competitive but extremely boring

I quit match literally ends in 2 minutes

How can 2k make these more interesting and fun?

SmackDown’s main event saw Otis receive the opportunity of a lifetime as he challenged Gunther for the Undisputed WWE Championship. The match begins with an intense staredown, with Otis daring Gunther to give him everything he’s got. The Ring General responds with a massive dropkick, but Otis quickly fights back with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Gunther regains control with a running uppercut in the corner, only for Otis to explode forward with a powerful spear that earns him a two count! A devastating short arm clothesline from the champion sends the action to the outside, but surprisingly, Otis takes control of the fight. The challenger tosses Gunther around, relentlessly beating him down before sending him back into the ring. Once back inside, Gunther resorts to underhanded tactics, raking Otis’ eyes to temporarily blind him before planting him with a massive powerbomb. 

Wasting no time, the champion immediately locks in the Rear Naked Choke, forcing Otis into a desperate struggle to escape. Despite his best efforts, the challenger is unable to break free, eventually leaving him with no choice but to submit.  The arena erupts in boos as The Ring General secures another successful title defense, closing out SmackDown still the Undisputed WWE Champion. Otis may have fallen short, but he gave Gunther a fight to remember and proved that he was more than deserving of the opportunity.

Any final predictions since we’ll know this week or at least pretty soon what these rewards are? The locker room leader one specifically said “we promise it’s worth it” so I’m curious to see how much of a dud this ends up being lol

En la seccion de ropa de superestrellas jugando con los colores se me ocurrio la idea sobre esto, nose, solo es divertido😂, es el Smackdown vs raw 2010 de ps3

Is there a chapter where he’s more likely to show up? Or is it only once I beat the game? Should I grind stars or just push to the end? I have about 45 in chapter 4. I’m only in it for Steiner at this point and I want the fastest way to unlock him. Thanks for any advice!

Some in game screenshots of the guys I made. Let me know what you think? Love constructive criticism on how to get better!

Is it only America? I live outside the US so I don't know if I can get it l lmao

WWE 2K19 Match Compilation – Royal Rumble was too funny, I wonder what Rey was doing lol

Hello beautiful people! I'm pretty fond of playing smackdown here comes the pain, and I really wish I could try out some of those removed characters, are there any mods that let you do that?

sliders set to 100 for AI run ins post match, but no matter how many single one on one matches I have the MITB holders never cash in? What gives?

So i downloaded a caw off of CC on 2K22 or 2K23, I think it was 22. He was an original/fictional caw and his name was like "Emperor Seid" or something like, hes a black guy with black and red dreadlocks and he wears black tights with white tribal patterns on them and enters wearing seth rollins 2015 vest with the same tribal patterns on it, a crown and a cape. He was from Honolulu Hawaii. Thats all I remember about him and I was wondering if hes on 2k26 CC and if anyone else knows who im talking about or help me find the creator? Hes been deleted from my 2k22 for some reason so I cant even find out how to spell his name properly. Can somebody please help me? Thanks
