Thanks for the feedback. glad you are enjoying it. - I will take a look at adding that to Bret. - PG-13 is like that by design as at the time they never wrestled for teh company, they specifically were just "hangers on" to the NOD. Just a word on where we are and what is planned(work has slowed somewhat due to real life work): -Got PWI500 ranking for 1996 in for workers already in, there are some people not enough info to add on but a number of indy guys that are in there that are on my list to add now. - Possibility of adding/activating further promotions based on research of the time period(PWX,NCW,CWF (Canada),IPWA,World Class REvival, ECCW all under consideration) - Further on I have a list of every future worker that needs adding to basically make everyone who appeared on major PPV from WWF,ECW,WCW to this day. - Open to suggestions on future workers in regards to elsewhere in the world.

He is unemployed</p>

Thanks for all the feedback so far it means a lot..omega is not active for the reason already mentioned as it would tie up matt Hardy as an owner. Air Paris debuted in 1996 under the name kid ego before taking a hiatus so maybe I could put him on hiatus but he certainly debuted in 96 not 99. The hardys were both regular jobbers for wwf around that time with Jeff working 7 tapings in 1997 and matt 8. With both working some in 96 too. With such a thin roster they are there also to be jobbers on the likes or superstars where taling numerous shows is tiring. Great to hear about peoples struggles with wwf at the time as they have a great under card that has not yet really broken out so the early part will be a challenge against the wcw juggernaut

There is no real way in game to stop wwf hiring ventura.. even a hate relationship with mcmshon I read about the cwa TV show in Old observers whilst researching..used creative license with day and time

<p>I contemplated adding the European title as it launched in February..it would not be the end of the world if the ai made the first champ a month early. </p><p> </p><p> Nobody will ever truly know whether owen would have left the business at that time.. main reason I have given n him witb was selfishly due to his real life untimely death i want him in my game for as long as possible right the way down to being an agent or colour guy etc</p>

V0.3 of the data added to the main post or below: https://www.mediafire.com/file/wbqvrehynhflnqq/1997_v0.3.zip/file - This includes changes suggested and errors found in both this thread and also I found myself. - 219 new mask and hair histories from real life lucha de apuestas records. - First 150 people of 1996 power 500 (Hoping to do the full 500 adding people if needed for 1996, possibly go back other years and fill in too) Also updates mod stat numbers on main post

Thanks for the feedback will add the relationships in. As for the taping I have checked around it seems anywhere from 2,3 or sometimes 4 could be done, most commonly they taped 2 at a time so will go with that.

Great to hear about how people's games are going and how they are enjoying the mod..up to about 210 mask and hair Histories so far for next update along with a couple other bits and pieces

I will make those amendments for next release..as I am from the UK I have to rely on information on the Internet in regards to TV networks etc so any other usa or indeed anywhere else in the world you feel need changing in style then feel free to let me know Got a decent amount of mask and hair Histories done now not many left to add from my list. Then ill likely release another beta by the weekend From there I am wanting to work on a few things including looking at doing something in terms of move sets..a couple new promotions I am considering and a deep dive on future worker additions too..so plenty to be thinking about going forward

Just something product related I was thinking about is differentiating between tv and event as with ecw in 1997 I am expected every show to have Wild brawl Hard-core Mayhem/car crash On a one hour TV show this does not really leave much scope for much else. I would like to see that rule used for events which are longer but for tv maybe like only ask for 1 of the three each episode or something

Sorry totally missed this yesterday. Yoko was technically still employed until early 97. What I will do is add an injury at the start of the database to signify he cannot work and also lower his physical. Have today fixed the cruiserweights issue, sorted a couple of other bits too including I found Perry Saturn accidentally only had one appearance left on ECW. This will all be in the next beta along with other tweaks including mask and hair Histories which I'm working on got 106 so far after going through the aaa roster and a couple of cmll

Thanks for the feedback.. the explosive thing i had down to fix previously.. The rock star quality has not been nerfed for a gimmick..it is less because with the goofy haircut etc and the way he carried himself when he first came in he does not deserve more..star quality on this game unlike others can increase over time..the rock in my tests grew in star quality based around potential and other attributes

There are two types of loyalty in the game.. loyalty and Japanese true born From the hand book Loyalty If a worker has loyalty to a company (not to be confused with having a Loyalty relationship with the owner or booker) then they will not accept contract offers that would cause them to leave the company that they are loyal to, they are far more likely to be hired and far less likely to get fired by the company (when Al controlled), and they will never choose to move on from an ongoing deal. Loyalty can either be Normal or True Born depending on the settings of the company they are loyal to. The difference is that True Born is designed to simulate the Japanese system whereby young workers who came through the system have intense loyalty to their employer. Mechanically, it does everything that regular loyalty does but, as it's more public, the worker can gain popularity more quickly in that company because the fans are more invested. Loyalty can be preset via the editor. During gameplay, loyalty is created when a company uses its 'first refusal' to sign a graduate from one of its training facilities. Loyalty can be lost when the company closes or if the worker is released (other types of departure, such as contract expiry, do not affect it) and also in situations where a worker is particularly unhappy. Later in their career, a worker may choose to abandon their loyalty in order to seek out new challenges (although this is rare).

<p>Looks like some great work gaz just a couple notes</p><p> </p><p> When you listed the wcw roster you had Jericho as heel.. pretty sure at the time he was face as he came in and worked Benoit who was heel. </p><p> </p><p> The other thing I noticed from the screenshots is that there seem to be mercenaries.. bullies and professionals..i am guessing attrbutes have not been sorted yet since conversion...if they have im not sure I would personally have taz down as a Bully. </p><p> </p><p> Said it before but love the new pictures</p>

<p>Main post has been updated with beta release V0.2.</p><p> </p><p> - Updated with suggestions and thoughts from the thread</p><p> - WCW changes brought up have been made</p><p> - Other changes brought up have been made</p><p> - TV Network expectations altered to lower levels to avoid not being able to meet their demands.</p><p> - 368 new worker pictures (varying in quality as beggars cannot be choosers in the time period on indies)</p><p> </p><p> For those too lazy to go main post:</p><p> </p><p> Data - <a href="https://www.mediafire.com/file/q8yoj6fo79dabep/1997_0.2.zip/file" rel="external nofollow">https://www.mediafire.com/file/q8yoj6fo79dabep/1997_0.2.zip/file</a></p><p> </p><p> Additional pics - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/hxr7krajr5zne7i/Additional_pics.zip/file" rel="external nofollow">http://www.mediafire.com/file/hxr7krajr5zne7i/Additional_pics.zip/file</a> - From what I can tell only one person does not have a picture as I cannot find one anywhere (GALLARDO)</p>

If you are talking about any Monday night wars I have a beta of january 1997 out the height of the war and gaz is working on a mid 96 which is also the height of the war.. specifically 2000 I'm sure someone is working on it can't remember his name sorry..by 2000 though the war was pretty much over as wcw was horrendous

Really top class work these..surely you could easily convert an existing picture pack using batch overlay in photos hop to get loads done?

Look for pictures of the stunt man conan Stevens as its the same guy

I used this to try an intro for my 97 mod.. great work mate

So adam has confirmed he will be toning it down so that should see an improvement..i mean I can turn no smoking off but did wcw just let people take drugs backstage if so i could turn that off but I'm not sure

So I realise no smoking was turned on for wcw so I turned that off and got a increase.. might beg the question though is it excessive maybe that someone who is spot on otherwise becomes negative because he has to go outside to smoke?

Just did a test save start and noticed the same so not sure, might need to get clarification

I mean I could take off for all three but Eddy, he needs his addictions even tho they did not make him a negative guy they did shorten his life.
