SD2 SLUS Move Editor

A small open-source ImGui-based desktop tool for viewing and editing move data stored inside the SLUS_012.34 executable used by the NTSC version of WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role.

This project focuses on:

• Binary file parsing and safe modification
• Immediate-mode GUI design with Dear ImGui
• Clean and minimal C++ project structure
• Preserving original file layout and data

Features

• View and edit move entries in the SLUS file
• Supports both original and expanded (new moves hack) move tables
• Edit move properties including:
  • ID
  • Type
  • Category
  • Impact
  • Limb damage values (Head/Torso/Arms/Legs)
• Hex editing of raw move entry data
• Automatic move name lookup via WAZA.dat from CAW.pac
• Add and delete move entries
• Preserves file size, offsets, and padding when saving

Format Documentation

If you are interested in the breakdown of the SLUS move data format, you can find it here: How Damage Works in SmackDown 2

This editor follows the structure described in that document and preserves unknown data.
