  1. This was covered in this thread not long ago - to recap, any news would be posted on the GDS site and forums, so the fact that we haven't posted anything means we don't have any news to share.

    (Note that I don't do rough estimates or speculation as to potential future plans; I think we've all had quite enough of games companies announcing things and then delaying them or not delivering at all, so I prefer only to announce things when they're actually done and guaranteed to be coming out!)

    I've been playing for about 2 in game years now, and I haven't seen any new workers. A lot of retirements and leaving the business every week. I'm using a modern day mod/database. Is there a particular setting or something that's causing this?

    You've likely either not got enough / any free pictures with which to generate them or there are no training facilities open to create graduates.

  3. Hi everyone,

    There seems to have been some confusion recently regarding using the CornellVerse, so I just wanted to do a very quick reminder about that most sexy of topics - intellectual property rights. We operate a fair usage policy when it comes to the CornellVerse - below I've covered what that means.

    First and foremost, if you want to use the CornellVerse - whether that's actual default data or the characters and fictional game world - to make a TEW mod (or mods for any GDS game for that matter) then, as long as you're not charging money for it, that's absolutely fine! No need to ask permission, you're free to go ahead and use it as you see fit. Change existing characters, make new ones, create alternate timelines...be as creative as you like, it's all good.

    If you want to use the characters or setting for a project outside of GDS - for example, writing short stories, creating artwork, etc - then as long as it's not commercial (i.e. making money for yourself, for someone else, or helping promote a commercial endeavour) then that's generally fine - just be polite and send me a quick mail or private message to check before starting if you're unsure of what constitutes 'fair usage'.

    So, in short, the only thing you can't do is use the CornellVerse for commercial gain or promotion, as obviously the IP rights for the CornellVerse and its characters belongs to Grey Dog and so it's prohibited for other people or companies to financially benefit from it.

    If anyone has any questions, let me know via private message.

    Happy holidays!

    Does that apply to future injuries as well?  The worker took an injury and when it was reported his old picture/render appeared in the article, not the new one I had swapped in.

    Your old image applies to anything that has already been generated for the website. If you're seeing it for new content then you've forgotten to update their contract image and that's what you're seeing. A worker has a default image and one for every contract, changing the former does not change the latter.

  5. It has been discussed before, and falls into the same category as the suggestion that there should be data for whether a worker is used to working the left or right side of the body; it's not really worth doing as, firstly, it's a lot of data and work for almost zero reward - any competent wrestler can get up to speed in a different environment inside of a few matches, meaning any effect would be fleeting, and any penalty would be so tiny as to be worthless anyway - and, secondly, it doesn't really bring anything to the game anyway as it's so minor.

    By contract, it makes sense for WMMA because the difference between a four-cornered ring and a cage actively affects strategies and a fighter's effectiveness, which in a full-blown simulation is important to cover.

    So, in short, no, this wouldn't be considered. I can understand why you'd suggest it, as the "throw in anything and everything that improves accuracy" is a seductive line of thinking, but things that minor aren't worth the added loading times, file size, and work to do given how little they actually add.

    Hello.  When new workers are generated I am swapping in new pictures under "Editor" -> Worker and then changing out the pictures.  Then when They appear in the newsfeed, I am still seeing their old picture, but whe n I click on their pic to bring up their bio the new picture is there.  How do I make my new picture be the image that I see when they pop up in the game newsfeed?

    You can't. The 'newsfeed' is linked to their picture at the time the story was generated. It would use their new picture for any subsequent stories that are generated.

    so i have a worker in a mod im playing and a random worker had generated , the worker's nationality is listed as Other, what race or colour is this ? the list of nationalities are white ,black, asian, hispanic , american indian , middle eastern, indian ,pacific, other.

    I think you're confusing nationality and race; 'other' is a race category, not a nationality. It's anything that doesn't fit into the other categories, hence the name.

  8. The idea is that each tour should end with a big event, so your pre-programmed events need to be relatively close to where you have the tour set to end; if it is, then the game recognises that you mean for that to be the final and will fold it in to the schedule. If your events are too far out for the game to use them as a tour end, it will create a new event to fill that gap. So, you shouldn't, for example, have a tour running from the first day of November to the last day of November but have an event for Saturday, Week 2 of that month, as obviously the game can't make that work as a tour end as it's two weeks too far forward - you'll therefore end up with two events that month, your pre-programmed 'rogue' event and the actual tour finale.

    From what you've described, you've probably put your events too far from where the tour is due to end and just need to move them slightly. If you can't figure out the correct dates, let me know, I can advise you further.

    Hi everyone,

    I Uninstalled my copy of TEW 2020 because I want to start fresh, now I am unsure how to reinstall.  Would anyone be able to help me please?

    You just need to run the installer again.

    You can get it from this page. If you're an Elicense user you use the Elicense Download button; if you have one of the newer QLM licenses then you use the Retail Download button.

    If you didn't unlicense the game then you don't need to do anything with regarding to licensing as the game will still be active on your machine. If you did unlicense beforehand, simply fill in your license code upon starting the game when prompted.
