I recently unearthed my cheat files circa 2005-07, with some pretty righteous, although WEIRD stuff in there. I haven't completely delved into it yet and I don't know what I might have that isn't out in the wild, and (like a lot of stuff it seems) I have no idea where the credit may lie, although I'm sure that the majority of the people who made them don't care at this point.

Anyway, I figured I would post the codes and see if anyone could take a shot at figuring out what the fuck some of them even do.

I apologise in advance for any weird formatting.

I THINK this is supposed to turn the special meter into the Japanese version from VPW2 but I didn't see that happen.
"Special Meter"??:
810DF576 034D
810DF57E 034C

I think this might be intended to make the computer control a guest referree.
"Ref Hack"??:

I am pretty sure these were intended to create a "Tokyo Dome" ramp that leads directly to the ring, that the wrestlers could interact with. It seemed like it worked more or less seamlessly (a little glitchy here and there) but we could never get the shadows to display properly. I tried to get someone to make a code to simply not render shadows at all but nobody got around to it. I think KussenKDogg made this one, maybe with the help of Imbored.

I'm assuming this is an attempt to bring the Test of Strength back, but I have NO idea what it could replace, and reading the code doesn't seem to tell me anything. Anyone have a clue how this is supposed to work?
Old Test of Strength:
81090FAA 114E
81090FAC 114E
81090FAE 114E
81090FB0 114E

A code to make the edges of the arena barricades square instead of octagonal. I was trying to texture an arena to have old-style steel fence instead of the big black WWE barricades. Unfortunately, it stretches the textures oddly so it was impossible to make one texture for the entire barricade and have it line up and look good. (If anyone made one of these later on, feel free to let me know!)

These are clearly hacks to make a NOAH arena more accurate; I'm guessing they affect the Wrestlemania arena because that's what I always used. (It was the simplest arena.) Not sure what the apron codes would have done, maybe I made all four aprons different?

No idea; I think it changes the camera angle to be more WWE-on-TV-like.

I unfortunately have no idea who Sting was going to replace in my game. Anyone got an idea?

No idea.

This cheat would make the ring texture in the upper lefthand corner stretch the entire way across the ring. The idea for this was that you could then replace the entire texture to have a Japan or WCW-style ringmat with a big logo in the middle. (The texture is normally mirrored 3 times; it's not just a plain texture because the shadow of the ropes is actually part of the ringmat texture.) Later I had a hack that replaced the corner ringmat texture with a texture from the ceiling that was unique to every arena; the idea was that each arena could have its own unique ringmat texture without having to change textures or codes. (I wanted to play the game seamlessly without editing anything on the fly.)
The only problem with all of this is that this code didn't work during entrances for some reason. I don't know why. Might have something to do with the order the game loaded things into memory.

Judging by the activator lines in the Sting code (wrestler id of 0A06), it appears that code was made for a caw slot. It doesn't look like a standard move replacement either.

The arena specific ringmats code has been in my releases forever, and I found one that works in entrances a long time ago. Not sure if I still have it but i put it in a few of my readme's.

Then it's probably actually master move mods or something; probably to give him moves or taunts that aren't normally available in those slots.

It wasn't the arena specific ringmats that didn't work, but rather the stretched texture.

It makes the front special link to the sharpshooter.
