3-SERIES DEVELOPMENT / EDITOR TOOLS
The 3-Series is where the newest Aurora Forge editor work is being developed. Open JSFB files to inspect their identifiers, tables, vectors, fields, and records, then use a dedicated editor where a tested writer is available. This is a separate, optional supporter build. You can mod WWE games with the free 2-Series app and loaders without subscribing to Patreon or joining Discord.
THE BOX
The 3-Series focuses on the editor layer, not a cosmetic rewrite. Every JSFB gets a structural editor; the proven writers get dedicated screens.
The two-tier verifier is back. An active Patreon tier and the Discord VIP role linked to that Patreon account are checked before the workspace opens. A verified session is stored for the current build.
Read the access rulesOpen any .jsfb table, detect its identifier and schema, walk its tables, vectors, and fields, and export a structure report. Writer-backed tables link to their dedicated editor; unknown tables stay read-only.
Source boundaryDedicated screens for character mapping, profile table/pro rows, teams, face-texture rows, moveset SDB slots, and CAM move data. Every write is backed up outside the payload with before/after proof.
Get the appAuroraForge's first-party editor layer over our readers and writers. Tribute is a separate third-party suite; nothing from it is bundled or required. The hub reports working, experimental, read-only, and planned status honestly.
See the hubCLIPS/ADEFS codecs, imported-clips building, retiming, and 2K26 CDEF/CSA/victory appenders remain the animation foundation. The one-click converter still supports 2K19 to 2K26 only.
Animation statusPress F8 to open a topmost manager. Up/Down selects, Space toggles detected CAKs and Custom PCKs, Enter saves to mods/mod-selection.json, and Esc closes. Changes apply next launch. The old blocking popup is gone.
LightShow presets, PyroSFXData, and pyro particle/audio paths are visible through the JSFB structure reader and CAK path catalog. A proven timeline writer is not present yet, so this surface is read-only instead of pretending otherwise.
Source boundaryThe 2-Series source is published under GPL-3.0-or-later. The 3-Series source remains in development and is not published yet.
Source statusTHE EDITOR LAYER
Every JSFB file is for something. 3-Series gives each table a structural surface and routes the ones with proven writers into focused editors.
ACCESS / PATREON + DISCORD
This optional 3-Series build is for people who want to try the newest development work and support the project. Its access gate checks an active Patreon tier and the linked Discord VIP role before opening the app. You do not need this build, a Patreon subscription, or Discord membership to mod your game: the free 2-Series app and loaders remain available.
The 3-Series source is not published yet. The free 2-Series source archives remain online under GPL-3.0-or-later. The compiled build is verified.
THE HONEST ANSWERS
Short answers, no marketing fog.
Yes, the free line is 2-Series: it is fully open source under GPL-3.0-or-later and needs no Patreon access. The separate 3-Series supporter line requires an active Patreon tier plus the linked Discord VIP role, and its source is not published yet.
Only for the 3-Series supporter line. Verification checks an active Patreon tier and the Discord VIP role linked to that Patreon account. The free 2-Series build needs no Patreon access.
Check that the Patreon tier is active, the Discord account is linked to Patreon, and the VIP role is present in the V1kingStudios guild. The verifier only unlocks when both proofs are present.
A structural editor for every .jsfb table. It detects the identifier, walks tables, vectors, and fields, and exports a report. It does not perform unsafe raw writes; writer-backed schemas link to their dedicated editor.
No. If you enable a CAK, the loader mounts it as provided. It does not inspect or filter payloads inside your CAK. Your files, your call.
AuroraForge's own forward-facing editor layer over our readers and writers. Tribute is a separate third-party WWE 2K26 editor suite. Nothing from Tribute is bundled, copied, installed, or required.
CAK and archive tools cover 2K20 through 2K26 with 2K19 PAC support. The one-click animation converter supports 2K19 to 2K26 only. Loaders cover 2K25 and 2K26.
The free 2-Series source archives are public under Source status. The 3-Series source is not published yet; it will be released when the code is ready. Private research, game data, binaries, and the private verifier are excluded.
