DISCLAIMER: All company names, logos, and all ownership rights are those of their
respective companies. I don't own anything but the ideas to do this, and this
guide. I am not responsible for how you use the movies after extractions. That
means that if you don't use these for private use only, then, well, it's not
my problem (though I may just be as bad as you are by that point).
NOTES: As this is my first FAQ, please don't use it without credit to me, as my
hard work would be very much appreciated if you do. Yeah, you can use it, but just
ask me first (my e-mail is at the top). And, not to be mean, but I'll have to throw
away all the junk mail (I get enough of that as it is already).
I will be describing things under the assumption that you have a Windows operating
system on your comp. This may be a small hinderance to those who have something
other than Microsoft's baby running for your OS, although it will not change the
core instructions used for this FAQ, as they will be the same for any OS. Just be
sure to replace any actions that describe a Windows action with whatever action you
would use for your OS.

1. VERSION HISTORY
------------------------------------------
2.0 - Here's what's updated with this version:
- Fixed some typos I saw.
- Added some more info for VirturalDub. This bad boy is more useful than
I thought it to be. Some key information to make the movies more
"enjoyable" are added within this guide.
- Added a few minor details into the movie explinations portion, including
the PPV event years, and also adding some info that may relieve you of
paranoia that you did something wrong with the Stone Cold Steve Austin
movie, since I got worried about this, too.
- Added a "MISCELLANEOUS" section to the guide. This will let me detail
anything that I couldn't put anywhere else. One thing is added to it
right now, but as time goes along, more things will be added, I am sure.
1.0 - Starting the guide, doing whatever I can to this in order to tell you guys what
to do to make this work. May be a little convluted at first.

2. SMACKDOWN HERE COMES THE PAIN INFO.
------------------------------------------
DEVLOPED BY: Yukes
PUBLISHED BY: THQ
This is the fifth of the widly popular SmackDown series for the Sony PlayStation 2
game console. This installment has a new damage system, revamped season mode, legends,
original storylines written by WWE writers, new match types, and more. Although
not perfect, HCTP is the best of the three WWE games to come out this year, and better
than last year's Shut Your Mouth.
____________________________________________________________________________________
-------------------------------------------
3. THE MOVIE EXPLINATIONS
-------------------------------------------
So just what exactly are we talking about when we talk about the movies of this game?
Simple. The TitanTrons of the superstars as they come out to the ring. However, the
movies also include those logo animations that you see sometimes during the WWE programs.
They are also the intro to the game.
The movies are packaged in AFS format, which is a file format used as a compression
utility (sort of like a ZIP file), which holds files within it. If you put your HCTP
disc into your computer and look on the drive you have it in through Windows Explorer
(usually "D:\"). You will see some file folders, with one marked "MOVIES." This is the
folder you want for this guide.
Within the AFS files (there will be five, I believe), there are more files, all under
the file extension ".sfd". This was a popular format for the Sega Dreamcast when it
came to movies. However, not many use them anymore, and, to date, no one has yet to
create a PC standalone SFD movie player for use, freeware or otherwise. However, there
are programs used to convert SFD files to others. However, we won't be using them
for this guide. Basically because the explination for doing this too complicated, and
you will be smashing everything in sight in fustration trying to get everything to
work right.
______________________________________________________________________________________
------------------------------------------
4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
------------------------------------------
- Of course, the SmackDown Here Comes The Pain game disc.
- A DVD-ROM Drive, or something that will read your disc right.
- Some adequate hard drive space to store the movies at.
- Unlike the Music Extraction method, you will not need AFS Explorer for this
method, nor will you need the ADX Utility. If you would like these anyway for some
insurance policies when doing this, please refer to the System Requirements on Paul
Rudoff's excellent music extraction guide for how to get these.
- You WILL need, however, the following programs plus some ZIP extractor to extract
the ZIP files they come in:
- AFS-->ADX (avaliable at:
http://www.megagames.com/console/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?id=dc&file=afs2adx02!zip)
- VirturalDub (avaliable at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/virtualdub/VirtualDub-1.5.10.zip?download
then choose a mirror to download it from (click the thing on the right with
a piece of paper and two red arrows on both sides pointing towards it))
- Some knowledge of the command prompt (MS-DOS for Windows. If someone can please
inform me of what the Mac command prompt is, please let me know.).
NOTE: Be sure to read the ReadMe files on both the AFS-->ADX and the VirturalDub
programs, as they will provide you with more information on how to use the programs
in specific detail.
______________________________________________________________________________________
------------------------------------------
5. EXTRACTION METHOD
------------------------------------------
- Copy and paste the "MOVIES" folder on the SmackDown HCTP disc onto your main hard
drive (usually "C:\"). This is very important, because, for some reason, the
AFS-->ADX program won't decompress the AFS files if they are being decompressed
through the game disc. So do this before anything else.
- Extract the two programs listed above (AFS-->ADX and VirturalDub) to the C drive,
into seperate folders (I highly recommend you don't put them on your C drive without
getting them into folders. You will see why later.) I extracted the AFS-->ADX to a
folder named "C:\afs2adx02\" and the VirturalDub to "C:\virtural dub\". Of course, you
can call the folders anything you want, but since I will use the names I've given
mine for this guide, you will have to replace my names with yours when the
instructions require you to.
- Now, here's where you're knowledge of the command prompt comes in. The AFS-->ADX
utility is a command prompt style program, but if you try to open it directly, it
will briefly flash the prompt window for a split second, then disappear, without
even a hint as to what happened. To correctly ready the program, you need to go to,
on Windows, "Start", go to "Programs" ("All Programs" on Windows XP), "Applications", and
"Command Prompt". This will open the DOS program on Windows (again, does anyone have
info on a Mac version of this thing). It will display something on the first line,
do nothing on the second line, then have a directory on your hard disc, followed by a
">" sign. The directoy before the ">" is where the prompt is directed towards right
currently (in other words, where it's "pointed to"). After the ">" will be a cursor.
This is where you will type the command to tell the prompt what to do next. The list
of things you would type through a DOS program can get awfully confusing in a hurry,
but don't worry. That's why I'm here. If you see that the prompt has
you at a diffrent directory on your system than your parent "C:\" drive (it more than
likely will be at "C:\Documents And Settings\Owner>" if you're on WinXP), then type
in the following after the ">":
- "cd C:\"
Then press "Enter". This will tell the prompt to move to the C directory, as you
use "cd" to tell the prompt that you want it to go to another directory, followed by
telling it the directory you want it to move to. If you really want to move it fast,
from where it is right now, type:
- "cd C:\afs2adx02
This is going to tell it to go to the directory where the AFS-->ADX program is
(which is where you want it to be for this guide). Of course, if you have the
program in another directory, replace the directory I have with that of what you
named yours.
- Now you want the program to tell another program what to do. In this case, you
want the prompt to tell the AFS-->ADX utility to decompress something. And then
what to compress, and where this file is located at. You will want it to decompress
one of the AFS files that are in the MOVIE folder you copied to the hard drive.
To do this, after the "C:\afs2adx02>", type in the following:
- "afs2adx C:\MOVIE\NMV00#.AFS [-all]"
- Replace the # sign with the third number of the file you want it to decompress
(either 0, 1, 2, or 3).
Once you do this, you will see the program go to work. When it is done (do not interrupt
this process until it is), another directory reminder will come up, awaiting the next
command. This means that the extraction was a success. Do the same with the rest of the
AFS files.
- When this is done, you can find the extracted movies in the AFS-->ADX directory as
".raw" files. Now it's time for VirturalDub to do it's job. Open up the VirturalDub
program as you would normally would any other program (unlike the AFS-->ADX
program, VirturalDub isn't a DOS program). When you open this up, you will see your
control buttons (like Play, Rewind, and all of that fun stuff) on the bottom. Click
File>Open Video File, then go to the directory in which the movies are at, and open
one of them (you will need to change the file type to "All types" from the Files of
Type pull down menu to see them). You will see two screens in the program once you
open one of them. One will play the movie normally, and the other will capture the
still image you had when you last stopped the movie. This particular program will
allow you to then save the movies as ".avi" files. Find the one you want, then
click "File>Save as AVI", then do your normal routine of saving your file (be sure
that the movie isn't playing within the program before you go and save it, as it won't
let you save it until you stop the playback of the movie). Of course, VirturalDub is
full of great features that make it all the more worthwhile, but if you just want to
convert the files, then just do the above.
- And there, you are done. It's actually a lot quicker than it seems to be, but, in
the end, you will be able to view your AVI file on any media player that supports
that file type (which is just about any media player around right now).
- NOTE: When you go to view the files in VirturalDub, the movies won't have any music
behind them. These movie files were meant to be this way in the game, so you could
add your own music behind them for CAWs. However, if you desire music to be added
to them, just open the movie you would like to include that wrestler's theme in in
VirturalDub, go to "Audio > WAV Audio," and a dialogue box will come up, instructing you
to choose the music to use with the video. The program won't accept MP3's, so use a
program that can convert MP3s to WAVs (MusicMatch is an excellent choice for such).
Then, when you save the file as an AVI and play it in a standard media player, it will
have the music you chose play with the movie. Again, this particular program is much
more powerful than I'm telling you here. Play around with it to see what else you can
do with it.

6. MOVIE DESCRIPTIONS
------------------------------------------
So, now that you got all these movies on your hard disc, you want to know just what
each movie is. At first, you're going through a heard of numbered files that don't
really tell you what the files are of. Here, I'll outline just what the files are of.
Keep in mind two things. First, on some of the files, it will give you, instead of
a movie, a notice that reads "MISSING TITANTRON FOR THIS SUPERSTAR." I don't know
exactly what this means, but it probably has something to do with the stars they
took out of the game right before the release, and they didn't have time to take them
completly out. When this occurs, I'll just put "MISSING TRON" for them.
Here are all of the movies, in order from the first one in the bunch to the last, and
what they are:
NMV000.AFS (these are full of nothing but TitanTron movies)
FILE NAME###: STAR FEATURED IN THE TITANTRON
----------------------------------------------
NMV000_00000: The Rock
NMV000_00001: Stone Cold Steve Austin *

NMV000_00019: Eric Bishoff
* Don't be alarmed if you see Austin's movie "freeze" for a few seconds. It's supposed
to do that in order to have Austin's music be in sync to the movie. This caught me
off guard at first, as well, but it "freezes" like this in the game, as well.

cameras is pointed that way during a match on TV. Since some of these movies
are of the same thing, I will, when it permits, give you all of the file names
in which that same movie appears. The black and white TitanTron logo screens
are used in the video packages to hype a certain feud for a PPV in Season
mode during the game)

7. MISCELLANEOUS
------------------------------------------
- I do not know if the process for extracting movies within Shut Your Mouth is the
same as HCTP, though I cannot imagine how it would be any different. You can try
this process with SYM, though I cannot guarantee the results will be the same.
