Added in Steiner and Flair Injuries Fixed things mentioned by Skummy Added Elizabeth to NWO WCW Pro moved to afternoons on a SAturday (Game can't do mornings) Worlwide Logo Changed Hogan added as figurehead Saturday night time slot changed Center stage added What sort of buff were you thinking on performance skills for sting/steiner and I will take a look? On the personalities front I am not sure why some are negative influence, here are their attributes DDP Big Show Eddy Duggan I can only guess it is the smoking drinking and drugs maybe?

Thanks for this On flair I wasn't aware of the injury..i remember him being on screen I think so I'm guessing he only didn't fight?.. what kind of injury was it? I'll add steiner va couple weeks injury what kind was it? I'll fix Elizabeth I was sure I put her in..ill also fix pro to Saturdays I was under the impression by this point that main event was a recap show..if I'm wrong in can add it I'll sort the other couple of tv bits Hogan as figurehead might not work properly due to him being a heel which is why I didn't in the first place Thanks once again for the feedback is appreciated

Thanks for that apart from kendo the other two were oversights.. kendo I had no idea haha

Setting the scene WCW is storming the ratings and WWF are finding it a real struggle to build new stars so are looking to take on an edgier product to try and attract a different differential. In real life WWF barely hung on as WCW won the ratings for a full year. What is going on now WCW: The NWO are running roughshod led by Hollywood Hulk Hogan and flanked by The Outsiders. The group is becoming a mammoth group now including referee Nick Patrick and Eric Bischoff. Sting is currently in a difficult place and people are not quite sure which side he is on as he has classified himself as a free agent. He has not actually wrestled since Fall Brawl 1996 after being doubted by best friend Lex Luger. This has seen a metamorphosis of the Sting character with him becoming much more dark and broody and carrying a baseball bat when he does appear. The Giant was only in the NWO for a cup of coffee as he has now turned face for his first ever face run. He has his eyes set on Hogan’s World title. Roddy Piper is in the mix, the Four Horsemen are feuding with the Dungeon of Doom and the cruiserweights are tearing it up… WWF: Shawn Michaels is far and away the top babyface in the company and heading into the Royal Rumble set to be at the Alamodome he is number one contender to the World title. Sycho Sid is the man holding that belt but is receiving a very luke warm reception from the fans. Someone who is not receiving that is Steve Austin. After Ted DiBiase left the former Ringmaster went on to win the King of the Ring and is seen as the number 2 heel in the company showing a much edgier attitude. He is feuding with recently returned Bret Hart. With Austin beginning to get cheered and Hart being more heelish this would in real life lead to the WrestleMania double turn from the two. The company is really struggling at building stars but have a solid undercard talent including Goldust, Marc Mero, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Mankind. Elsewhere there are a number of promotions that could be great to play as including ECW with their first PPV deal on the horizon, although they are fresh off the Mass Transit incident. Picture credit goes to NGO pictures with some logos and such added myself which I made. I have a number of workers without pictures at the moment, these will be getting cut soon but it seems people are happy to take a look at a beta without them. As always with these things there is an element of personal preference but I am open to any thoughts people may have or errors they may find.

Cheers

Right so here is the score, I feel that I have the mod at "beta 1" readiness. It is not perfect and there are a number of things I want to improve upon personally or add to it. The issues is that There are about 300-400 workers without pictures and a couple companies without logos. I personally like to release with as may pictures filled in etc as possible because I hate the little blue guy, so I am throwing it out there, I can release a beta 1 without all the pictures and logos etc or I can wait what will likely be a week or so and release beta 1 once the pictures are in place?

Hi my name is forlan and i have been around since tew began and before that..i used to do the t-zone real world mods back in the day and released a popular 1993 mod back on tew2010 I am currently working on a 1997 mod which is originally based around the tew2016 1996 mod by burninghamster. I am contactable by pm if anyone wants to speak about anything, ask advice or even just shoot the breeze. I would prefer to always buy my own coffee or beer as any mod I make is primarily for my own enjoyment and I give it out to the community out of the goodness of my heart Cheers

Looks great mate glad to see more mid 90s mods Is this from scratch or did you use something as a base?

cheers mate this is actually on top of ngo..ngo helped alot but there are also a lot of workers still without a picture..u could probs pull together a list if anyone would like to help with putting together the pictures ngo format appropriate to the time period

Probablies be a little while yet as I want to get it to a certain point before doing so Edit: got around 100 workers..3 promotions and some matches to add.. from there I will then need to source a couple hundred pictures for people that don't have them

About 3 but you need to keep in mind wcw starts at that time with a roster of 112 so don't exactly need any more workers so I certainly would not say undertuned

Simming a number of years testing my 97 mod and when checking in mid 99 i saw this had happened Not sure why it says he, she is a woman in the database

<p>Got to say great work on the patch with the whole hirings thing..previous patch ran a test year on my 97 mod and wcw hired pretty much everyone.. this time doing a year sim today they barely hired at all.. game pulling out realistic title changes as well...from Jan 97 to Jan 98</p><p> </p><p> Wcw</p><p> Hogan</p><p> Warrior</p><p> Hogan</p><p> Sting</p><p> </p><p> Wwf</p><p> Sid</p><p> Bret</p><p> Shawn</p><p> Austin</p><p> </p><p> Ecw</p><p> Raven</p><p> Taz</p>

Personally I still wonder whether 15 quid for a logo someone is allowed to use nowhere other then a game is steep

I think a better route would have been a donate option im due she would have got a few quid anyways

<p>I have to say some great logos here and you do some awesome work. </p><p> </p><p> I personally feel both the charging and amount charged is against what the nodding community is all about. There are people out there making great logos for free.. charging 15 pound a logo means it costs more than the game to have two logos made. </p><p> </p><p> People have tried monetising for mods and things for the game in the past and it never really took off for very similar reasons. </p><p> </p><p> I appreciate the time etc that goes into making a logo for example but just for someone to play on a game with a logo they like you are essentially asking them to pay you half the cost of the game. </p><p> </p><p> Just my thoughts</p>

Just wanted to drop in and give massive thanks to Adam for all the extra work that has gone into this game over the c last few weeks since beta was released. There will always be a vocal minority regardless of what is done as not everyone can be pleased with everything.. that goes for all walks of life. I do however feel there is a certain sense of naivity from people who expected fundamental games aspects to be rewritten to how they would like or the ui to be totally overhauled to look amazingly different on such a short space of time. For a variety of things people keep bringing up football manager (which I personally play and love) however in terms of support and listening to their fan base they do not even come close to being on a par with Adam. Every year football manager has its own vocal minority whether it be about the ui, the 3d match engine, too many goals, too few goals,game breaking tactics etc. Si tend to sometimes not acknowledge some if the issues at all and even when they do release usually 3 to 4 patches through the game life cycle. We all know from not just this tew but the past that Adam releases numerous patches frequently which fix errors and also often add extra elements to the game. Adam is top class with tech support and if there is a major error which crashes the game for example he has a patch out within a day usually.. the aforementioned football manager went almost a week a couple versions ago where nobody could even play because of a bug. Every version of tew is not going to be everyone's cup of tea that's a fact and people within the community will come and go like any other part of life. Looking back from ewr days onward the nodding Community for example has changed so much if someone who makes a mood decides the game is not for them for example there will be someone else who steps up and takes over. Take real world for example you had ewr with ravex and eggystats then moving into tew ravex and myself then tcp I think it was did a real world mod..as people like ravex and myself lost interest or time we evolved on as a community with fleisch etc al now to where we are with ktb..Landx etc . I love that every tew you see new people stepping up with quality work which will be no different this time. Summing up thanks Adam for working so hard on the game and releasing something i am enjoying. Not everybody is going to be happy but also not everyone gets everything they want into every game.

<p>I totally agree with skummy it takes getting used to and once you get into a groove booking shows becomes second nature. </p><p> </p><p> My main observation personally is some people have said things they would like improved constructively and some kind of sheep mentally has then set in with others just stating the game is broken or terrible without giving much basis to their claims</p><p> </p><p> It feels like dammed if you do dammed if you don't thing too as now people are kicking off that it is taking longer to reskin parts of the game they desperately wanted changing..if he said right graphics aren't ready I'll release ui just the same it would be the same people playing hell so to speak</p><p> </p><p> I'm personally looking forward to release</p>

From my own mod be prepared to do a lot of work as a large number of workers are mercenary or scumbag after conversion so you need to go through attributes with a fine tooth comb.

The two main things I haven't touched yet are sorting the broadcasters since conversion and also adding more match types as at the moment its the default and I want some era specific

Can you expand more on what the mod is.. sounds intriguing but you say 2000 mod but then say its mainly 80s?..also is this all from scratch on 2020..if so making that amount of workers and companies from scratch in that time is a massive undertaking

Just a little update, progress in a lot of areas going good, still a fair way to go. Thought I would share some screens from a little tester game. Some cards Some company profiles (Note these were from February AI signed Warrior he doesn't start there) Also AI Power Stable

I think the way the forum has gone recently a lot of people seem to feel like they would be better at it than the testers or have an attitude that way so it would encourage more of some of the lesser needed or wanted posts that have been cropping up more recently from certain more opinionated individuals
