    Alternative CornellVerse 2022 Mod (VERSION 1.05 RELEASED 19 OCT 23)

    in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 Mods

    Posted

    Random request today, but if anyone wants to help speed things along it would be great if people could just submit some basic bios for announcers/referees/valets

    Nothing extravagant or even interesting needed, it's just I have discovered the mod needs a lot more extra non-workers than I realised and they are the bad mix of boring and time consuming so if I had some bios I could just copy and paste in I could just do the stats, add in who they work for, pick the render etc and it would cut this down a LOT

    I think we all know how these things go. "*NAME* is a referee from *PLACE*." maybe then a random quirk they do on commentator or as a ref, or add random "outside the ring they enjoy *RANDOM HOBBY*"

    I know it's not very interesting but when you have like 100 to do worldwide you'd be surprised at how slow the process is, especially when I am limited in my knowledge of random hobbies or interests lol

    I just went through this whole thread and it's amazing. 

    I'm wondering if someone can help me... I'm looking for a logo and a banner. My company is called Global Wrestling League.

    If someone is able to create these for me that would be amazing, if not that's totally fine! Thank you!

    If you don't mind a slight name change there is a Global Wrestling Federation set

    To say I’m extremely excited for the 2026 update would be an understatement. My favorite part about the Cornellverse and the many takes on it is the “where are they now” aspect of it. I can’t wait to see which promotions are no more, which ones have thrived, and which wrestlers have retired or passed away. Not to mention the successes and failures of some of the newer guys out there and where they end up!

    Thank you for the kind words, definitely helps when you're spending hours looking at title histories knowing it's for a reason!

    2026 UPDATE

    Oceania new workers and starting rosters have been completed! Which means that what is the biggest process in making the mod has now been done. That should be all the new workers created apart from some non-wrestlers that will likely be needed, but I will create them as that comes up and they don't take anything like as long.

    Just so people know my process the next step I am taking will be updating the all the promotions title histories. I will be doing that next so that when it comes time to update bios I will have that information to add. Because of all the new promotions I will also be having to create titles too so this could be time consuming, but not on the same level as creating so many new workers and promotions.

    From there it will be all the bio and stat updates and then release, simple!

    I hadn't actually planned this but this is a great stopping point and seeing as I now won't be able to do anything for a week or so due to Christmas it has actually worked out perfectly!

    I got a bit overwhelmed looking through the previously closed companies and starting face first at the number of event logos I still need to work through

    Are you planning to make events for companies that have closed down then? That seems like a lot of work for very little reward which from my mod making experience is when you can really feel burn out. I commend you for attempting it, but maybe it's best to just work on the promotions you care about or have a bigger factor in the majority of saves? Then the closed ones can be for fun when you are finished but still have a creative itch?

    I'm so hyped and impressed you're managing to pull together all these new promotions and rosters so quickly.

    Your vision for Europe makes total sense to me. I've never played a save there and think that sense it all feels like one merged area is a factor in that, even if it's true to reality. This feels like the perfect balance: you maintain that freedom of movement that characterises Europe so wrestlers can show up all over the continent, but each individual promotion and roster base can feel more distinct to its location to bring the region to life. I love that 20 of the 26 promotions are tiny or smaller too both for the logical reasons you mentioned, and the fact it will make them easier to pick up and play. At the rate of expansion of this series, I'm predicting a full Armenian promotion in the 2030 edition 😅

    Good luck with Oceania, and good call leaving the best CornellVerse region until last to reward yourself for making it this far.

    I think it's well balanced too as one area might prefer traditional "pure" wrestling, but it's not like I've just created a load of technicians from that country, there will still be a mix of styles even if it goes against what their country traditionally prefers

    Just one Armenian promotion? They need a deathmatch company too!

    I like Oceania too, hope I can do it justice! That is a small game area though so I also like it won't be as packed as others. With four areas the size of Puerto Rico or smaller it doesn't quite need as many promotions as Europe haha

    2026 UPDATE

    Europe starting rosters/new workers has now been completed. I actually thought it had taken me much longer than it had, I am very surprised to see it actually took a month to the day. That includes a week off too, so the fact I am getting through things much quicker now gives me hope that this won't actually take until 2026 to be released lol

    I had a few thoughts going into Europe - at one point I was certain it would be my "cheat" area where POWER had swallowed everyone up and it would be just a baron wasteland and a dead scene, therefore not requiring much effort on my part

    However, anyone who has followed this mod for a while will know that I am an idiot and love hard work so instead I have tried to develop the region and make it so even if you are doing a save as SWF or TCW etc there is always that chance you will find your Andrew The Giant, Alistair Black, Miro or WALTER. 

    So now instead of the 9 promotions (2 women's) in the 2022 mod and 3 promotions (0 women's) in the default data there are 26 active promotions (6 women's)

    Most of these are very small, in fact 20 are insignificant or tiny, but it just means that behind the scenes in areas and companies you may never look at workers are gaining experience, building skills and it means the area has at least the potential to become a major player. But obviously if you are someone who likes playing in Europe (or Britain) it could be a game changer.

    While I have tried to create some workers from forgotten countries I have concentrated mainly on building up a few specific nations to try and stop the area just feeling like one random place and to actually have different scenes and styles within it. So you will see more Germans and French workers than say Armenia and Cyprus, but if you are someone who plays in Europe I am hoping that each country or area in Europe feels a little different. I have tried to make this feel organic, so for example Scandinavia is much more active now thanks to the success and influence of Scandinavia Pro Wrestling. It hasn't just been "meh I'll throw 20 random Swedish guys into the game for no reason".

    On top of that I will still be making sure things stay balanced, so just because Europe has more promotions it won't mean that some random French insignificant company will perform the same as one in the South West of America. It is still an area that is "developing" so you don't have to worry your saves will suddenly become dominated by Europe, it just simply means there is the potential chance for Europe to become a big part of games in the future

     

    Only Oceania left to do now so this part of the mod is close to being over, and I believe this is the most time consuming so that's very positive!

    Does anyone have any tips for how to tell chat GPT that I don't want my Black wrestlers to look like they have the glare from a spotlight bouncing off of them?

    I'd actually thought a few times that the black ai renders don't always seem to be as good quality as white or asian people. They always seem more cartoony, especially the hair. Not sure if that's just me though!

    Wow love these , the blue stands out , will look great in game...I rarely play the default CVerse, so I don't remember this promotion at all....I will have a go at it when I'm on my pc and my wife allows me to...what is the roster like , have you AI created any of them? 

    They're not open in the default data but they are a company I have active on my 2022 CVerse mod (HERE) and they are a company a few people really liked on this board as they are from the area, so @John Lions I am loving the new graphics and I'm sure they'll be massively appreciated too!!

    As for the roster it is a mix of the older guys from the region (Ryan Powell, K-Squared, Shane Nelson etc) and some younger workers I created so nothing too special but enough for potential growth.
