Rope Colour Guide

[WldFb]

This is not something new as it uses codes that already existed, but I thought I'd make a little guide on how to change rope colours. If you want something more complex such using different colours on different ropes you must use a different method (check the 'Red, White and Blue ropes' for example).

There are three settings avaiable and you can decide which arena is using them:

800528F4 Raw (default = 0001)
800528F5 No Mercy (default = 0001)
800528F6 Smackdown (default = 0000)
800528F7 (default = 0002)
800528F8 (default = 0001)
800528F9 (default = 0001)
800528FA (default = 0001)
800528FB (default = 0002)
800528FC (default = 0001)
800528FD (default = 0001)
800528FE (default = 0000)
800528FF (default = 0000)

Setting # 0 (default blue)
81052900 xxxx (red)(red) (default: 2410)
81052902 xxxx (red)(red) (default: 2020)
8105290C xxxx (green)(green) (default: 4820)
8105290E xxxx (green)(green) (default: 4040)
81052918 xxxx (blue)(blue) (default: 9040)
8105291A xxxx (blue)(blue) (default: 8080)

As you can see in the list above, the '0' setting is the one used for Smackdown and other arenas with blue ropes. You can see how the game uses higher values for the blue addys (9040, 8080) so that the resulting colour appears blue. You can change these values as you wish to get any colours.


Setting # 1 (default red)
81052904 xxxx (red)(red)
81052906 xxxx (red)(red)
81052910 xxxx (green)(green)
81052912 xxxx (green)(green)
8105291C xxxx (blue)(blue)
8105291E xxxx (blue)(blue)

Setting # 2 (default black)
81052908 xxxx (red)(red)
8105290A xxxx (red)(red)
81052914 xxxx (green)(green)
81052916 xxxx (green)(green)
81052920 xxxx (blue)(blue)
81052922 xxxx (blue)(blue)



Keep in mind that by editing a setting you affect all the arenas using it. I don't think it's a problem though, as you can decide which arenas use a particular setting and you probably don't have many different colour settings in the same save.
Also, edit all the parts of a colour to avoid the rope being tinted differently in certain areas.


Examples:
No Mercy uses setting # 2
800528F5 0002

Setting # 2 is yellow (you can see how I've used more amount of red and green compared to the blue to obtain the yellow colour)
81052908 D090
8105290A 9090
81052914 C080
81052916 8080
81052920 2000
81052922 0000

Setting # 1 is white (red, green and blue use the same amount)
81052904 EE90
81052906 9090
81052910 EE90
81052912 9090
8105291C EE90
8105291E 9090

That's really cool! Thanks for the tutorial, tutorials are always welcome!

I don't know how long it will last, but an NXT arena would be cool. It's something different, with the yellow-ropes and such.

This is great WldFb! Tutorials are always a good thing. Nice little plug for the B2B save also.

@feetlove. A NXT arena has already been made by Monarch! Its very nice I must add!

This is much easier to understand and easier to work with than what CMx originally posted. I'll be using this.

 

[feetlove999]

Do you have a link to the arena, AKI Man? Or is it somewhere on the OSR site?

I don't think it is. He might have to PM you, I don't personally have it.
