WWE WrestleMania XIX - Strategy Guide (Page 05)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for WWE WrestleMania XIX - Strategy Guide (Page 05).

Using Gear
Now that you've found a hat for your CAS, you've got to adjust it to fit.  It's
probably floating in air above your CAS' head right now.  So, first, you'll want
to go to Translate.  Go to the Y axis and lower the hat several points.  It
should now look like it's sitting comfortably on the head.  Maybe you want it
tipped back a little so the brim isn't covering his or her eyes.  Go to Rotation
and add a few points to the X axis.  Now the hat is sitting on the head.  Now
the hat needs to be deeper.  Go to Scale and the Y axis.  Add 10 or so points,
and now the hat is much deeper.

The same physics apply to the rest of the gear.  Most likely it won't fit in the
default position, so you'll have to take some time to adjust it.  It might take
a little while to get things perfect, so don't get discouraged too fast.

Be creative!  Sometimes gear just doesn't look like it wants to fit in the right
place, but usually, it can be adjust.  Tails, for instance, cannot be placed
directly onto the back.  Instead, place it on one of the thighs.  From here, you
can use translate to move it so it's positioned right on the lower back.

Also, sometimes gear can used for something it wasn't intended for.  The torsion
headband is naturally made to go around the head.  However, you can make it into
a necklace by positioning it at the head, translating and rotating it to be
around the neck, then shrinking it's size to fit the neck.  If you can't quite
get something to look right or find a part you want, chances are you can fake it
with some adjustments to existing items.

Scale
Scale is used to adjust the proportions of your CAS.  There is no uniform way to
adjust height or weight, so you'll have to do manual adjustments through this
feature.
Width: this feature adjusts the size of a given body part.  Assuming you're
looking at the front of the body, this makes parts expand to the left and right.
Length: this feature adjusts the height of a given part.  This makes parts
expand upwards or shrink downwards.
Depth: this feature adjusts the size of a given part.  If you're looking at the
body from the side, this makes parts expand to the left and right.

So, for this example we'll work with the waist.  Say you want to make a tall
person that's not very wide and has a bit of a tummy.  First, you'll go to the
"Waist" section.  Go to the width and adjust it so it has negative points, say,
-20.  Second, go to the length and increase the points, maybe to 30 or so.
Finally, go to the depth.  Rotate the character to the side so you can watch,
then increase the depth to 20.  Now, your character has a long, thin waist and a
bit of a belly.  You can apply this to any other given body part.


Frequently Asked Questions
Q) Is Team Angle/Rhyno/Jazz/Nash/another superstar in WMXIX?
A) If they're not on the official roster, they're not in. -.-;  None of the
bosses are real people, and there are no hidden characters.

Q) What about Jeff Hardy?  I've seen him in screenshots and on official rosters.
A) At one point he was confirmed to be in the game.  However, his departure was
early enough in the development stages of WMXIX that he could be taken out.  His
movements are still in CAW, however.

Q) Can you throw people off the cell through the announce tables?  How?
A) Yes.  You've got to weaken them to a sliver of momentum, first, otherwise
they'll hang on.  Then get right to the edge and Irish Whip your opponent.
You'll hip toss them straight through the table.

Q) Can you defend titles?
A) Yes, in King of the Ring.  This is often overlooked.  However, your friend
will have to win the KotR to face you.

Q) Can you unlock any extra arenas?
A) Nope.

Q) Can you put someone through a table/announce table without being on top of
it?
A) Yes, but it takes luck and precise targeting.  You've got to be really close
and do a slam move (try it standing next to an announce table with Matt Hardy's
normal Light Grapple).  It looks like a glitch more than anything, because
you'll fall down too as if you were on top of the table.

Q) What's the fastest way to get money?
A) I prefer Shopping Mall 5, where you have to smash everything.  Play as
someone like Rob Van Dam, whose wide range combination attacks can hit the
benches and trees easily.  Take out the windows at the bottom, then go up the
stairs and start breaking the stuff to the right.  If you're fast, you can beat
it in under a minute fifteen seconds.  At $6000+ for a 75 second run, you're
making cash like crazy.

A) How do I get more CAW points?
Q) You've got to buy them from Shopzone.  They go for $1000 a point, and you can
give them to any CAW you want to.  However, once you've given a Global Point to
a CAW, it permanently becomes a Local Point.

Q) Is there a way to use custom logos on pants or on a shirt worn by a woman?
A) Nope.  The theory is that people would make "nude" logos so they could make
nude CASs, and Yukes didn't want to deal with any lawsuits.  Stupid, I know.

Q) Can you unlock more stuff for Shopzone?
A) Nope.

Q) Can you go for the tag belts in King of the Ring with two players?
A) Nope.

Q) Can you play as another wrestler after you're eliminated from the Royal
Rumble?
A) Nope.

Q) Can you enter CASs as computer players in the Royal Rumble?
A) Again, no.  Hopefully this will be fixed in WMXX. :)

Q) Can you copy official superstars into the CAW and edit them?
A) No dice here, either.  Sorry!

Beat each section completely and it's Revenge stages will be unlocked.  For
example, beat all the levels in the Construction Site to unlock the Construction
Site stages.

Unlock the bosses
Everytime you beat a final Revenge stage, the boss you fought will be unlocked.
It's random who you fight, so you can just keep playing boss stages over and

Fun with Stacy Keibler
If you hang around in Shopzone enough, Stacy will make some comments: "Do you
like watching me?"  "Are you going to buy ME anything?" "No credit cards in
here, buddy.  You need cash," and "I know you want it!"  She'll even start
dancing!
