Just wanted to update those interested on this! This is still being worked on, just ran into a busier April than usual. I still intend to get a first release out in the near future!

Just as an update so far, I've been working on a few QOL things that I hope to release sometime over the next few weeks. Working off feedback from this thread, I've been working on giving WCW workers more specific gimmicks. A lot of the "Old School Face/Heel" gimmicks are being replaced with things that more accurately describe the worker. I've gone through WWF and WCW contracts, editing some contract lengths and editing most contract start dates so they're accurate. For example, Ric Flair's WCW start date is now set to 1993, but his contract length has been reduced to 3 months. He was sued by WCW in April 1998 and nearly showed up at WWF Unforgiven later that month, so this will give the player the opportunity to book that if they choose. Every single gimmick status/rating and last turn date in WWF and WCW were previously set to random, this has been fixed for the majority of both rosters giving the player more stability at the start of games. Certain workers who really weren't very popular in 1998 have had their popularities reduced, as they were unchanged from Fleisch's 1992 base. Work has been started on giving workers more accurate skills and attributes. Some workers still had their 1992 skills, so I'm working on fixing the notable ones first then going for others.

Should be fixed now. Keep in mind this is the base Chronicles 98 that's available on BeTheBooker's website. None of my fixes/changes are added to it yet.

Thanks for bringing this up! Checking on WCW gimmicks now and fixing all of the "random" gimmick ratings and statuses. Should give WCW more of a stable start in the mod.

Thanks I appreciate it! I work too many hours for building my own mod from the ground up to be feasible, but I've been enjoying tweaking this so far!

Hi everyone! I've decided that I'll be working on reviving Fleisch's abandoned 1998 mod: Chronicles 1998! Within this thread I'll be answering a few questions people might have and lay out my plans for the mod. To make it an easier read, I'll be putting everything in collapsible quote boxes to avoid massive walls of text. Why are you reviving this mod rather than starting a new year? How will you add onto or expand the mod? What are your plans for the future? So what now? I'm really looking for any feedback people may have on the original mod. Things you think need improvement, things that should be added/removed, or things you'd like to see expanded upon! I've already gotten to editing some stuff and adding some missing workers on the indie scene, but I'm planning to make a list of things to do before releasing the first Chronicles 98 Redux DB.
