Hello
First thanks very much for this amazing mod , i have been playing a few matches with that insanely huge roster and i have such a big smile on my face
But i noticed a problem, some man wrestlers have woman animations, Roddy Piper or Rick Rude by example as i played them in a recent triple threat. Other than that everything seems to run as expected.
I thought maybe i didn't installed things correctly but triple checked the 1st post of this thread and everything is in order :
- Showdown64 5.4 .check
- Project 64 2.1 .check
- Jabo's Direct3D8 1.7.0.57-ver5 plugin used .check
- WWF No Mercy folder in the /textures/ folder .check
- Project64.cht in /Config/ folder .check
- WWF No Mercy.fla in /Save/ folder .check
I was rather puzzled at what it could be, i then decided to check the Cheats as i suddenly remembered i didn't actually enabled them, that could explain those woman animations.
And there, i faced a problem :
Basically there's no cheat listed at all (and so no Showdown64 cheat to enable) , despite the .cht file is in the correct place ?
How can i fix that problem ?
I saw there's a lot of other woman-animated man wrestlers from what i explored of the Showdown64 roster.
Thanks for any help
replying to myself in case some people run into the same problem as me, i found out the source of the problem, it's the actual rom itself.
Back when No Mercy was first released in stores, the first batch of them as affected by a bug, that if you were unlucky to trigger it could wipe out your saved game.
Later they republished a new cart that had the problem fixed :

So there's basically 2 US roms, the 1.0 (that has the bug) and the 1.1 (that has the fixed version), the rom used by the cheat file is the 1.0 one, so you'll need this version 1.0 for Showdown64
And then everything work good, the cheats are available and you can enable the required one
Noticing there was a beta for 5.5 with its updated cht file, i removed 5.4 files and used the new ones, enabling only the Showdown64 cheats as instructed.
Playing a few matches and had a lot of funs, but i noticed a strange problems :
I watched an AI-only 40 men Battle Royal and noticed several wrestlers entering after a few elimination did had the movesets of other wrestlers ( Jimmy Hart doing Hogan moves, i saw Austin doing The Rock taunts and Honky Tonk man doing the special of Jake Roberts)
When i played some 1vs1 matches , those wrestlers had their correct moves.
I then noticed those wrestlers in the main menu are "attires" of the wrestlers they copy the moves from in Battle Royal, so is this a limitation of the game that prevent modded movesets to be used by "attires" in the Battle Royal mode , or is there a setting i am missing in the cht file ?
