WECNeverDie

Just wanted to say my full support is behind this. I don't claim any ownership or whatever on my mods, no need for asking permission (I'm not around as much as I used to be). I wouldn't have been able to get mine off the ground without other people's work. They're free for anyone to tinker away with and re-release in whatever format you choose, within reason of course (no political statement mods)

How many fighters does a company need to have in a division to keep it going rather than abandoning it?

Still at high level regional but popularity has risen to 92.2% . I still have the same PPV deal - United Kingdom Choice.

<p>Would Adam be able to provide a rough example of real life fighters that exhibit similar personas to those coded into the game?</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Ones that I'm having a bit of trouble differentiating are Annoying/Troll/Joker, Braggart/Egomaniacal and Quiet/Respectful.</p>

The Pic pack for my 1997 mod should work with Dawn of MMA as I used Dawn as the base of the 1997 mod. I'm adding a few extra pics as well for guys that didn't have them in the last iteration so most of the important characters should have them.

<p>Could you clarify the differences between the attributes 'Loves to Clinch' and 'Thai Fighter'?</p><p> </p><p> Loving the look of the game, very slick and lots of very cool changes that make the gameworld more immersive and realistic.</p><p> </p><p> Also could you list the new nationalities that have been added for convenience sake? I've noticed Dagestani already.</p><p> </p><p> My Bas Rutten character is delighted to see Body Kicker added.</p><p> </p><p> Looks like a terrific (final?) addition to the WMMA series.</p>

What is actions are required in the editor to make someone a potential owner or booker?

<p>Hi, been playing the mod as WWE and I've noticed some of the workers outside the WWE in the likes of ROH, LU and TNA have been making HUGE strides in their popularity in the space of 2 months to where they'd easily slot into the upper midcard/main event of WWE. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in my own game as I'd prefer them to have greater difficulty in getting notoriety.</p><p> </p><p> Loving the mod overall, the amount of work you've put in is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much.</p>

Awesome stuff. Would love to use a mod for this time period. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I'm in the middle of exam season at the minute, so unfortunately an update will be a few months off.

Is this in relation to the Global recession narrative or to do with the 'dark ages of MMA' in America due to McCain which started around the time the mod starts? Yeah at the moment I'm running simulations and taking notes on the balance of the game and trying to get it set up in such a way that the AI will run as true to life as possible and balancing some fighters stats as I've noticed I had a tendency to severely overrate many fighters and some fighters need some tweaking to get them to fight more like they do in real life. Not sure when I'll be releasing an update of this but I'm hoping maybe over the next 2 months I'll get it out. It's coming along quite nicely. Once I have this update done I'm hoping to release a 2000 version that starts around the time of the first PRIDE GP. Also in regard to the error some people are seeing I'm afraid it hasn't come up for me when using the database so I've no real assistance to give in that regard. Have you mentioned it to Adam? EDIT:

Hi Everyone, Going to try and have another look at this game and see if i find out where this error is coming from. Also I'm going to try and update it a little with some newer prospects who have came into the mainstream over the past year. Really sorry about the delay in getting back to you all I've just been very busy the past year and haven't had much time for the game.

You're right but as there's no way to properly simulate the Zuffa takeover to my knowledge I've chosen to start the game off with Zuffa in charge of the UFC

Updated. -Broadcaster requirements have been corrected -more thorough EOY awards and thus achievements -minor changes to era, teams, pregame results, characters, regions

Sorry didn't realise the link to Jipper's pic pack was down. It appears he hasn't been online since May, I've sent him a message asking for permission to send out the pack since I've slightly modified the pack I have with some of Iceisle's work and I'd rather not release something under his name that he hadn't approved. Any other modders know what would be the correct procedure here? :S

Here's my first attempt at a WMMA4 mod. I was going to do an earlier mod but the lack of one night tournaments put me off that for the minute. I've decided to go with January 1997 as the starting date over September like my WMMA3 mod for a number of reasons: - Rogan & Goldie joining the UFC - PRIDE starting business operations - Build up to first ever UFC Heavyweight Title Fight - January start date should make 1997 EOY awards a bit more accurate - Start of the "Blackout" of the UFC. I've nerfed the American economy to simulate this - Less work for me - I'm a huge Mark Coleman fan and I don't want him starting on a loss :L The playable companies at the start of the game are PRIDE, UFC and Pancrase. Please post any errors in this thread so I can get them corrected. I'm open to any and all criticism so fire ahead. I haven't had a chance to properly test this myself as I wanted to get this out before Xmas. Before conversion I was quite happy with the playability on WMMA3 so hopefully it works ok on the new engine. Also as a sidenote I have Shooto debuting later than they actually debuted because it was at that point in time I feel they became a factor in the global MMA rankings scheme. This is most certainly open to debate though. Generally I have companies debuting a bit ahead of time so they have time to set up their rosters and prepare for their first show If this proves successful my overall ambition is to create a range of historical scenarios set during the first PRIDE OW GP, the UFC/PRIDE merger etc. based off this database so the more errors we find now the better future mods will be. Oh I'm not very gifted with pictures so I haven't included a pic pack but I use Jippers Pic Pack myself and for the most part the data matches up with it. Also Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! http://www.mediafire.com/download/c9ghk0nawohy93o/WMMA4.mdb Copying and pasting this file to the Program Files/GDS/WMMA4/Databases/X folder should get it working where "X" is the name you've chosen for the database when setting it up. Big thank you to Lucien for his Dawn of MMA mod which helped form the skeleton for the world of my mod, to Tag for his awesome mods which helped inspire this endeavour and to Jipper for his great Pic pack and also to Adam for making these awesome games which have provided an obscene amount of entertainment. EDIT: I'm currently working on the marketability aspect of the game as I had previously nerfed all fighters marketability to improve the playability of the Mod on WMMA3. I've also made the same mistake as last time by legalising elbows in PRIDE :L Sorry! Also feel free to use this mod or any of the elements in it as a base for future mods but if you could drop me a message to let me know I'd be very grateful.
