  1. Check out this post. This program is very quick and easy to use - even for me, who is a graphic illiterate. http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2426045&highlight=Imbatch#post2426045
  2. I love these, but I do think your trending a little short on quite few folks lately - just an observation.
  3. So, messing around with the default pictures, replacing/moving/etc. I'm getting run-time error 481 - Invalid picture. None of the files look to be in the wrong format when sorting the files in the folder by file type. Anyone know any other way to identify the files that might be causing the problem?
  4. Really enjoy your work, but this in particular - I'm getting some major shipshirt vibes with this one. That is a very good thing, imho.

Continued my three-month save from the trial and ran it all the way up to Roaring Lion IX (season finale event) in October and treating it as the end of Year One for booking. Super Long-Post summarizing my first-year with this company:<p> </p><p> Some things I did early in the game (April-May 2020) was sign Furusawa and SUKI to Exclusive Written contracts. I figured that BHOTWG or PGHW would try to swoop them from me early on so I locked them up pretty early. Then later on when BHOTWG went from Medium to Big, they started to sign most of my workers (or at least as soon as my workers would hit 50-60 Pop in Japan). Ended up losing a ton of guys that I had plans for in the long-term (American Cobras, Babau & Moroi, Big Bruiser Findlay to name a few). Some of the guys that they tried to took away, I ended up extending to exclusive written contracts since they would be pretty worth in the long run and had plans for them. But yeah, once you get a worker up to 50-60 pop, BHOTWG is bound to offer them an exclusive written contract. Not saying that the predatory hiring logic in the game is bad, but it definitely is an added challenge playing a smaller company.</p><p> </p><p> As far as show logistics go, I went with a mix of constant and tour shows throughout the year. For the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix (YMGP) Tour, I set all of the tour dates from Tour to Normal and put them on TV. Same thing for the Sole Survivor Tours. Then the show before and after each event was set to Normal and I would usually have the Challenger Series defended for those shows. The difference in pop gain between running Constant and Tour schedules is really significant.......almost too significant, actually. I went from having 5,000 people at the start of the Grand Prix to having 23,000 people by the end of the Sole Survivor Tour (following the conditions I stated above). By August 2020, I was selling out Kobe Football Stadium at 30,000. One of the drawbacks for having a ton of normal shows is workers complaining for not being in the show. Might consider going back to the Touring Schedule during the tournament tours if this becomes a pain when the time comes. </p><p> </p><p> Year of 2020 marks a new beginning for BCG, especially now that they have to fill the void that GCG left. Also meant the rise of stables in BCG (since the promotion doesn't initially start with any stables). Instead of creating 3-5 stables at the beginning of the game, I slowly worked them into the company. First stable to form is SUKI-Gun, which comprised of SUKI (Leader), Yoshinaka Taku, and Black Iron Corps (Azumamaro Kita & Fujio Narahashi). They would debut at the beginning of 2020 after ambushing the main event. Practically the first villainous group in the company, they would make a splash right away with SUKI wining the Challenger Series from Naozone Goto in January 2020 and Black Iron Corps taking the Tag Titles from Yoshizawa and Miura. Their formation would also lead to Mabuchi Furusawa forming his own stable to combat SUKI-GUN called REDEMPTION. This group of heroes would consists of Furusawa, Tanyu Toshusai, Lion Genji and Fuyuhiko Wakabayashi. Up until Roaring Lion IX, SUKI-GUN and REDEMPTION engaged in a feud. In the YMGP, SUKI would score a pinfall over Furusawa to advance to the Finals (and eventually win the YMGP). Then Furusawa would return the favor to SUKI by pinning him in the Sole Survivor Match. </p><p> </p><p> Another stable that would later form in July 2020 is the New World Order (yeah, unoriginal, but couldn't think of a good name at the time). Comprised of Big Bruiser Findlay (Leader), Davis Wayne Newton (Leader, especially since he had a great showing at the Sole Survivor Tournament), Logan Wolfsbaine, Giant Brody, Animal Harker, James Diaz (Young Lion Fodder), and American Cobras, they're the main gaijin threat in the company. Moroi would also join this stable briefly (since Babau got signed to BHOTWG first). With Cobras and Moroi leaving for greener pastures, I had to kick them out. Hence, enter Ernest Youngman into the scene (who I had to super out-bid both BHOTWG and TCW after convincing him to work in Japan). Running them as a Bullet Club/NWO irl esque faction, they had their shining moments once in a while. But I'm not ready to push them right to the top just yet. With Findlay leaving after Roaring Lion, DWN and Ernest Youngman will spearhead the group into 2021. </p><p> </p><p> A story arc that I've always wanted to do is Razan Okamoto's rise to become the eventual figurehead of BCG. Initially, he starts with the highest SQ in the roster. He's practically the Tanahashi of this company. With this in mind, the story with him is that he has one of the greatest fighting spirits that BCG has ever seen. However, he's always come up short to guys who have greater talent than him such as Torii and Funakoshi. He would come up short against Torii in the Quarter-Final of YMGP and several tag matches up until Sole Survivor. In Sole Survivor, he would actually pin Torii, but come up short against Furusawa (the eventual winner). Going into Roaring Lion IX, Torii offers up a match to settle the score for the year (each scoring pins against each other on major tournaments). The original plan is for Okamoto to win against Torii in Roaring Lion and take off the belt from Funakoshi by Fighting Spirit 2021. However, plans changed as soon as I signed Tsuneyo Yanagimoto (whom he'll be feuding with after Roaring Lion IX). This will probably be a feud similar to Tanahashi/Nakamura since both are oozing charisma. In this save, Yanagimoto also ended up getting more ripped and upping his SQ to 97. </p><p> </p><p> The final major stable formed heading to Roaring Lion IX was Art of War (which was created as soon the EX2010 AI disbanded the stable), which comprised of Bunrakuken Torii, Tsuneyo Yanagimoto, Jotaro Tanaka (who was a part of AoW in EX2010) and his tag partner Motoyuki Miyake. After Roaring Lion IX, the plan is to have them feud with Razan Okamoto & Rokuemon Matsushita (both who have great chemistry when teaming). May need to form a stable for them to battle against AoW at the beginning of 2021.</p><p> </p><p> Since Japanese companies are heavy on tags and multi-man tag matches, tag teams are pretty much an essential on BCG. Notable tag teams at the end of Roaring Lion IX include: Kadonamaro Kamisaka & Morimasa Kato, War Machine (Fuyuhiko Wakabayashi & Lion Genji), Black Iron Corps (Azumamaro Kita & Fujio Narahashi), Blackout (Jotaro Tanaka & Motoyuki Miyake), Bunrakuken Torii & Tsuneyo Yanagimoto, Rokuemon Matsushita & Razan Okamoto, Team Smash Mouth (Masked Stranger & Aztec Prince), Mitsukuri & Kinoshita, Wolfsbaine & Harker, and Miura & Yoshizawa (Miura currently injured though). The Roster is pretty stacked with talent to be honest (partly since I extended a lot of them to exclusive written contracts at the expense of profits except for the loyal guys who will be due for a big payday soon). So there's a rule of two for each Pillar (Funakoshi, Torii, Okamoto, SUKI, Furusawa), where each top guy is normally associated with another top guy or an up-and-coming star. As of right now, the top duos are Funakoshi/Ikoma, Torii/Yanagimoto, Okamoto/Matsushita, SUKI/Taku, Furusawa/Toshusai, & DWN/Youngman. </p><p> </p><p> I booked Funakoshi as a fighting warrior champion, who is pretty much down to take on anyone that pleases to challenge for the belt. He's booked like Brock Lesnar, where he's winning every title match with dominance or having the last laugh (cuz he's that good). The winner of the YMGP would get a title shot right away at Test of Champions, in which SUKI would lose against Funakoshi in a Champion vs Champion match. Treating the Sole Survivor as the G1 for me, I had Mabuchi Furusawa defend his right to challenge for the Title at Roaring Lion up until the event. At first, it looks like it was gonna be a rematch of last year's main event (assuming that Funakoshi took the title off Furusawa on Roaring Lion XIII). However, SUKI would announce that he is vacating the Challenger Series on The Lion Hunts event in September to make the main event a three-way singles match! </p><p> </p><p> At Roaring Lion, Funakoshi would retain the title over two of the most-talented wrestlers in the promotion and continue his dominance. This would leave me to allow SUKI & Furusawa destroy each other for another year up until a blow-off match in 2021!</p><p> </p><p> Lo and Behold here's was the Final Card for Roaring Lion IX (Final Grade: 81): </p><p> </p><p> Funakoshi © def. SUKI & Mabuchi Furusawa for BCG World Title (82)</p><p> Yuta Isono © def. James Diaz for BCG Young Lion Title (43)</p><p> Black Iron Corps (Kita & Fujio) © def. War Machine (Wakabayashi & Genji) for BCG World Tag Titles (84)</p><p> Bunrakuken Torii def. Razan Okamoto (82)</p><p> Tanyu Toshusai def. Big Bruiser Findlay (67)</p><p> Blackout (Tanaka & Miyake) def. Kato & Kamisaka (69)</p><p> Masashi Urogataya, Orange Tsuchie, Gidayu Katou & Ray Snow def. Shingen Miyazaki, Washi Heat, Inejiro Yoshizawa, & Omezo Shikitei (66)</p><p> Tsuneyo Yanagimoto def. Rokuemon Matsushita (78)</p><p> Animal Harker, Giant Brody, & DWN def. Dynamite Narahashi, Ryobe Uno, & Yoshisada Matsuzawa (62)</p><p> Team Smash Mouth (Aztec Prince & Masked Stranger) def. Yokokawa & Sen (46)</p><p> Blast Ikoma & Naozone Goto def. Mitsukuri & Kinoshita (52)</p><p> Ernest Youngman © def. Yoshinaka Taku for the BCG Challenger Series (85)</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Sounds like a good run.</p><p> </p><p> I'm always surprised how partial everyone seems to be to either Funakoshi or Razan. I lean hard to Bunrakuken as my personal favorite - it feels like he always just a touch better than Funakoshi in particular, plus he is 3 years younger.</p>
  6. That does help. Having no rendering ability myself, I have no idea what is or isn't possible. Like I said, I do like it and, in this case, the eyes were pretty minor. There are some cases where the eyes ruin otherwise good renders, for me anyway.

  8. <p>Have I missed anybody having done a Kinnojo Horri re-render?</p><p> </p><p> There is one tagged in ironfist's download by shipshirt, but I believe that was actually his re-render for Koshiro Ino. It works well for Horri, but I didn't know if I had missed someone actually doing one for him. He is a pretty big name that surprisingly hasn't gotten any love.</p>
