    I’m using software called ImBatch to bulk process images. I only saved the ones in my folders as JPGs with the blue CVerse backgrounds, so you’d have to figure a way to get rid of the background. I know some others also post the png files that would make it easier to process into gifs.

    I’ve got family visiting this weekend, so I’m on a pause adding all the free pictures. Will defo have it finished by this time next week. Then maybe, just maybe, I’ll start actually playing this god damn game.

    I use remove.bg to remove background and ezgif to turn png to gif. I usually do stuff like this for my personal save so everything being one at a time isn't a big deal but, these are a lot of pictures so I'm a little scared.😅

    I tried ImBatch but it didn't remove the BG as good as remove.bg, unless I did something wrong. Also, If anybody knows of a better way to turn PNGs to GIFs faster I'd love to know.

    OK. I think I'm at a stage where I would feel better if I started asking people if I could use their work for a collated database. I know people are working to finish their own and I don't want to piss in anybody's cornflakes.

    I've predominantly used @John Lions work for Logos etc, @gazwefc83 for the majority of worker renders with additional US renders from @WalterSobchak and @Number Green who have their own threads. I've added in @arlovski's Japanese renders, but have not the proclivity to arrange all the agers.

    I've also got renders from @The Inquisition, @hellshock70, @hollywoodshinebox, @Wrenegade, @Scottie, @The Lloyd, @GnEric, @Heinzreich, @HiPlus, @Shmoe II, @willr0ck. @Atticus, @wyldekr, @lavelleuk.

    I've also got some "classic" agers from @Self's 1997 renders too.

    I was just saving all the images in one folder but, Now I'm going back and saving yours, The Inquisition, and Number Green's Renders in separate3 folders(I'm torn between which styles I like). I plan on turning them into gifs because I like using GIFs.

    I'm just saying this so that I'll know if someone is already doing this or know of a quicker way of doing this. 

    Tips for Staying Invested in a Save

    The thing that I found helps me keep invested the most (having struggled to find my footing with a save for years) is having a major overarching plotline that my entire company will revolve around for multiple years. Much like the nWo or the Bloodline or utilizing an example from a legendary diary in these boards, The KoW from Beejus' WCW 94 masterpiece. I simply cannot just start a random save without any long term planning and just mess around, see what happens. WWF/E is the company I play the most and for my ongoing diary (paused in here, ongoing on Discord) save I have the full next WrestleMania card written down, and the next two have rough drafts planned in advance. I then write how we're going to get to that point through the year and make the appropriate changes based off of injuries or an unexpected overperformer (I gave Curtis Axel the WWE Championship because he got so popular and would not stop giving me cracked ratings) but I try not to lose the overall vision.

    The game throwing curveballs at you such as injuries and forcing you to change these plans on the fly is fun, much like realizing your longterm plans, so either way works. You may end up happening upon a breakout star necessitated by an injury replacement. But it's simply impossible that ALL of the wrestlers involved in your major storyline will suffer such a fate, so once again I reiterate that having a big storyline for the roster to rally around is the way to go if you're struggling to stay invested in random saves you create from every mod in the book like I used to.

    Even if you'll take a while to get through, when you come up with a big story that you want to tell, you will keep being drawn back to that save. I hope this tip helps anyone.

    This is something I'm trying to do now. I haven't really planned anything though, just rough ideas. Like having Remo Richardson hold the Title hostage this year after holding it all of last year. I know he will lose it at the end of the year but don't know if it will be cheated off of him by my heel stable, a babyface he has probably already beaten finally winning the rematch, or maybe one of the newer guys can get as popular as he is by the end of the Year to dethrone him.

    Where do you draw your inspiration from for your long term planning?

    It's mostly just a ripoff of the G1.  8-10 wrestler round robin. Everyone fights everyone. 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, minus 2 if you get DQ'd. Bonus point if you win in a special way (submission, count out, under 5 minutes, depending on the year). Whoever has most points at the end gets Three Wishes to use in whatever ludicrous ways they can imagine. The loser is fired/banished from the company. 

    Not gonna Lie I'm about to steal this. Do you do it with a TV schedule or something else? 

    Also is it real Firing or kayfabe? Do you already know who you don't want anymore?

    Having an annual cycle of traditions helps me forward. 

    WWE have the Royal Rumble leading to WrestleMania leading to Summerslam leading to Survivor Series and back to the Royal Rumble. Dotted in between you have these big gimmick events (I forget where Money in the Bank and Elimination Chamber fall nowadays) that can throw ideas at you, when you're not feeling so creative.

    In my CGC games I developed my own sequence that I use in pretty much every game with them. Elimination kicking off the Road to WrestleFestival followed by Cage matches before the Ultimate Showdown Series etc. I always have something set in stone to work towards, and usually the landscape of the roster changes enough so that each year feels different. 

    I also like to book game changers. The Manager's Cup was an organised stable war where the losing team must disband. The loser of the ultimate Showdown Series is fired. Roster stagnation absolutely kills games for me.

    What's the Ultimate Showdown Series? Sounds fun.

    Hey!

    I'm on my first ever playthrough of TEW 2020. Using AEW with updated real life mods. Was curious if there was something better to do with bigger stars that you just dont want instead of simply releasing them. I dont really care for CM Punk or Sting (ya ya I know. I'm a Attitude Era baby. Punk + sting do nothing for me) However they are technically my biggest stars, would be dumb to just Let them go lol, was curious if there was something better to do with them.

    I'm not sure what their Stats are but I assume they have Decent if not great Entertainment Skills. IDK If your Product requires Storylines But I like stories so, Put them Storylines or feuds with people you want to get over. Use any excuse to get them in a promo for ratings and to get others involved seen. 

    Also, I'm not sure about this but don't let them lose to someone too low on the pecking order unless Red Hot Momentum. It might just be me but I feel like it decreases the chance of the more popular guy losing lots of Pop but the lower guy not getting much.

    Confused about written contracts/ house shows

    For the first 3 years of my fictional company's history, I used handshake deals. Then when I started to sign people to iron clad written deals. It has been over 40 game days and wrestlers are working for other companies and I cannot run house shows. what have I done wrong? I have more than 20 wrestlers on written deals and 1 referee. Do the referees, broadcasters, and the road agents need to be on written deals?

    Are they on Exclusive deals? Iron Clad doesn't mean Exclusivity.
