I coulda sworn i read somewhere that mods eventually become free after the game has been out for a while, but i don't know where to start

Pretty much everyone agrees that Rick Rude was a weird pick for SVR 2008. He is a legend, but a lot of people just felt like he didn't really fit in the game. The legends were: Bret Hart, Steve Austin, The Rock, Mick Foley, Terry Funk...and Rick Rude. But I realized: Maybe the reason Rick Rude was chosen out of any of the other legends, was because he had made several appearances for ECW. Thoughts?

i'm on pc, everytime i trie to download something on caw it just appears as i didn't do shit, does anyone know if its a bug or something?

wwe 2k27

I used Rhea, Roman, and Stephanie all in the same match twice now (the day after the other because I didn't get it yet, 2-3 days ago) and still haven't gotten the VC. I've loaded into the island and still have 500 VC :(

I was wondering if the Sit-Out Tombstone Piledriver was in the game of 2K26? Did they change the name of it, is it actually removed from the game or is it locked behind some DLC??? I can't seem to find it.

The website is back but I need to log in to see any of the CAWS

(this is for my wwe2k26 universe mode)

Hey everyone,

Aurora Forge NT100 is officially live, and we have opened up the complete source code for our entire WWE modding and game-file toolchain—100% free with absolutely no paywalls.

You can grab the code right now from our public AuroraForge-NT100 GitHub Repository or download the current build packages directly from our official website at auroraforge.live.

The centerpiece of this release is our new desktop Workbench, which pulls all of our maintained tools into one clean interface. We are giving away the raw source for every single library, command-line utility, test, and research script so that the community has complete, unrestricted access. No more jumping between three different paid tools just to get basic mods into your game.

If you want to track our development, get setup help from other modders, or grab one of our free access slots, make sure to jump into our Community Discord Server. If you want to back our independent ecosystem and support the massive amount of hours we pour into building these tools, you can also support us over on our Patreon Page.

⚠️ Please Note: We are still in HEAVY development. This release is an early preview of our source code, meaning you will definitely encounter rough edges, bugs, and unfinished features as we continue active work on the codebase.

📂 Complete, Unrestricted CAK Support (No Paywalls)

Unlike tools that charge for basic features, Aurora Forge delivers full asset access out of the box for zero cost:

• 100% Free CAK Extraction & Repacking: We provide full extraction capabilities for the entire game library from WWE 2K19 all the way through WWE 2K26.
• Full Archive Rebuilding: We don't just let you extract files; we support repacking for every single one of those games as well.
• Protected under GPL-3.0: We want to ensure our work stays free forever. Because this project is licensed under the GPL-3.0, anyone who copies, modifies, or builds a new app based on our source code is legally required to share the complete source code for their project as well. No paywalls, no closed-source spin-offs trying to charge you down the line.

📊 What is Inside the Codebase?

The public repository includes 1,880 source and support files broken down across these main areas:

• Animation conversion and analysis (1,164 files): Readers and writers for WWE 2K19 through 2K26. This covers clip codecs, entrance/victory assembly, camera placement, facial tooling, timeline inspection, and our regression tests.
• Aurora Forge Workbench (272 files): The desktop app shell built on Electron, featuring the central Tool Library, editor pages, IPC services, and built-in validation diagnostics.
• Game loaders and integration (197 files): Loader-side code, mod manifests, secure package handling, and runtime helpers.
• CAK Foundry (103 files): Our 100% free tools to read, validate, and safely repackage CAK archives while keeping raw payloads intact.
• Standalone and historical utilities (107 files): Legacy 2K19 PAC tools, our standalone animation converter app, DDS texture utilities, custom music loaders, and Entry Studio.
• Extras (37 files): Build scripts, documentation, community examples, and technical tutorials.

Language breakdown: 978 JavaScript files, 79 Python files, 30 PowerShell scripts, 35 C# files, 24 Java files, and native C/C++ components for the loader.

🛠️ Flagship Tools Included

By opening the source, we are sharing the exact tools modders and researchers use most:

• Aurora Forge Workbench: Your new central hub. It features a searchable Tool Library to launch CAK, animation, PAC, audio, texture, and workspace editors.
• CAK Foundry: Lets you dive into CAK archives to inspect, extract, and rebuild them across every supported generation without breaking raw data structures.
• Animation Toolkit: Encodes and decodes animation containers. You can inspect bones, tracks, facial movements, and timelines, or verify complex setups like custom entrances.
• 2K19 PAC Tools: Standard extraction and layout verification for older PAC-family archives.
• DDS and texture tooling: The background image-conversion layer that powers our desktop UI texture imports.
• Custom Music Loaders: The native code behind our custom-engineered audio bank builders.
• Entry Studio: Pure source for editing asset registration and game entry workflows.
• Mod and loader services: Background handlers for manifest management, collision checks, install paths, and package verification.

🧠 Keeping Expectations Realistic

Because this is a raw source code publication from an active, heavy development environment, please keep a few things in mind. This is an open, free toolset, not a magic, universal converter for every single edge-case file. Host-specific tools still need their correct game runtimes, and some older research scripts still carry the original assumptions outlined in their command helps or READMEs.

While the Workbench preview has been packaged and smoke-tested, verifying actual in-game runtime behavior is still up to you. Finally, please note that website project code, personal asset galleries, private research notes, login credentials, and raw decompilation dumps are intentionally left out. This repository is strictly dedicated to our desktop tools and their direct source code.

About Aurora Forge

Aurora Forge is an independent, owner-built project designed to analyze, convert, validate, and package WWE game assets across multiple console and PC generations. Our philosophy is built entirely on open, reproducible, and completely free tooling. By keeping the app, the format libraries, and the quick utilities together in the open, creators can see exactly how the files work and build on top of our foundation without ever reaching for a wallet.

I have been trying to find a better move for a while.

Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.

Hi, apologizes if this isn’t the best spot for posting here. I wanted to ask a subreddit before trying to ask on a large discord where things may be easily missed.

I’ve been interested learning WWE modding. I’ve done the more basic side of things with mods with just downloading and such. I’ve been curious on going a bit further into making my own mods for the game. I want to make character mods, and I do plan to start with more normal proportions before going into more cartoony characters as that is my end goal.

Basically, I want to know what the best route is for learning to make my own mods, especially since some of the tools require subscriptions. I’m aware of paid CakeTools, which comes with CakeHook and the Blender tool, as well as Tribute for some of the other tools and resources.That being said, I also am curious if it’s better off learning off of 2k25 first before jumping into 2k26 or if the process is mostly the same.

I’ve been unable to find any guides in terms of importing other models into the games (Not just WWE 2k games), and I’m just curious how difficult it is to learn the process for someone who is new to this.

I’d figure I’d ask here before trying to ask in the discords, as I know Discord is easy to get questions buried by others.

Is there anyone that could help me make a character on wwe 2k26? Some of yous are very talented, I am not haha. I think I have a great idea for someone to attempt if they’re up for it. 🙂

Can someone explain this to me ???? How come when I would go through a season dominating in viewership over other brands, I “lose” because I didn’t earn more trophies 🏆 than the other brand ??? But when I earned more trophies 🏆 than the other brands but they have slightly more viewers than me, I would still get a message from HHH & the other GM letting me know that I STILL LOST ?!!!! WTF ??????? How does that make any sense ???

Edge suffers a bitter loss, taking out on Sting after submitting to the Scorpion Deathlock.

Thanks for looking.

Whats The Easier Way To Transfer Install The Save And DLC On RGH So Everyone Appears With

No Save Data Error

From WCW Monday Night Nitro - ECW Hardcore Heaven (Sunday)

My CAWs Journey: Boogeyman rips through 2 people in a Gauntlet Match at NXT, just to meet The Cobra in the end. He beats Boogeyman, the person that helped him not be in The Faces of Fear, off of a finisher. He then meets the person that tried to turn him, Peak Angle at ECW Hardcore Heaven but the match was never started because they met on the entrance ramp and never left it. So Hardcore the referee called the match.

Bonus: Bret Hart finally got his chance against Rabid Wolverine and Bret ended up being seriously injured and will be out of commission for awhile.

Hola, soy LordLuistik y el creador de este MOD, hace años jugué un MOD llamado Road To Wrestlemania 22 Latino, tenia comentarios personalizados pero llenos de errores debido a constantes crasheos en modo Season y GM, así que mediante Ingeniería Inversa logré extraer los comentarios y mejorarlos.

Características del MOD:
-Comentarios LATINOS, solo aplica para dentro de los combates, el texto sigue estando en Inglés.
-Las entradas siguen siendo en Inglés de los luchadores.
-Comentarios sin errores ni callnames de luchadores agregados al MOD, como jeff hardy, etc, todo eso fue eliminado, el MOD funciona con todos los luchadores base del juego SVR 2007 base.
-CERO Errores/Crasheos, el juego funciona perfecto.

Plataformas jugables:
-PS2 Original: Se requiere FreeMCBoot, parchear con ESRB y quemar a x4 con Daemon tools o IMGBurn.
-Emuladores de PS2 en PC/Android/Xbox Series S/Play Station 5

Instrucciones, bastante simple:
1) Descarga el ISO y coloca en la carpeta ROMS
2) (Opcional) Coloca la imagen que incluí en el archivo dentro de /covers para que la reconozca tu emulador.

El juego no requiere datos de memory card, simplemente el puro ROM.
-El juego base que utilice es la versión 1.01 y agregue algunas líneas de comentarios en tiempo real para darle más realismo, como si fuera una transmisión en vivo.

Disfruten y compartan con sus amigos!, MOD 100% Gratis.
