Just a little update, i am slowly working through free agents and such, B-Unit has the data so as far as im aware he is working away on title histories and such. Here is a screenshot of the mod as things stand. [IMG]http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/6669/progresshz1.jpg[/IMG]

Hmmm, looks promising but could possibly use a bit of work. Ric Flair in RINGS :eek:

[forlan]

The main factor to consider is that the business is much stronger in both Mexico and Japan as the USA is in something of a downturn, hence the falling promotions and Lucha/Puro dominated rankings as they got better in game rankings, hotter crowds etc.

[QUOTE=forlan;499939]The main factor to consider is that the business is much stronger in both Mexico and Japan as the USA is in something of a downturn, hence the falling promotions and Lucha/Puro dominated rankings as they got better in game rankings, hotter crowds etc.[/QUOTE] Is that something that you're going to change? Or are you quite happy keeping it that way? I don't think that 1993 was a particularly bad year for the wrestling industry in the U.S., although the audience was beginning to split over WCW and WWF. That aside, your month by month update made for a really interesting read. I wouldn't mind reading a diary that progressed in that fashion.

[forlan]

I am intending to alter it slightly as it was not a great year but not as bad as it seems to be in game. EDIT: I also might carry the updates on through 1994.

[CW Saton]

Any more news on this sir? How are things coming along?

[forlan]

I've been a bit busy with uni stuff recently and the data has gone on the back burner, hope to start this week finishing off the free agents and moving on to future workers etc.

[BurningHamster]

Hey Forlan, any update or is uni still keeping you busy? Still very interested in seeing how this mod turns out.

[forlan]

Still got a lot on at uni and things but im doing little bits here and there, only the future workers to go really now except one or two free agents. Although it seems ill have to do the title histories myself as brian has dissapeared off the face of the earth and was doing them lol. Oh yeah and pictures/logos etc all need doing.

[BurningHamster]

Sounds good Forlan, but damn what is it with title histories guys falling off the face of the earth? I think I've had that happen a good 2-3 times in one mod. If my most recent guy comes through you are more than welcome to use whatever he puts together as a base and just delete a few years. If he doesn't come through then I'm going to cry. ;)

[TNAfever]

hi, I can help you doing the title lineages I've got a pretty good base with the 1991 mod that I modified by myself to fix most promotions like USWA, add missing AJPW title lineages, for example :cool:

[BIGJOSH]

Is this dead?

[forlan]

This is not dead although if anyone would like to offer to do the title histories whilst i am busy a lot with uni it would be appreciated.

[forlan]

Some good news is that MattQ2607 from this board has offered to do the title histories. For the first release future workers and such there are not going to be many but then this will be built on over time. I will most likely in the future be making a graphics thread specifically for this mod where kind people can help with finding pics, doing logos, banners etc. thanks

[Devil_Bingo]

I'm glad this is going to be made i loved 1993 (from what i watched)

[forlan]

Well Matt has finished with the title histories, just to update everyone on how this is going, a big thanks to him.

[Fleisch]

This is the one mod I'm looking forward to playing. Good mods from 1990-1997 are the ones I love the most. I like changing the course of history!

[rockers4ever]

Does anyone know if this mod is still being worked on ?

[forlan]

After a long time out i am resuming work on this due to my schedule freeing up a little. I am always on the lookout for help in certain areas. At the moment all active promotions are done, title histories need tuning if i remember rightly ( not at my own computer atm so cant check) free agents and future workers need doing and obviously pictures and logos are needed. ATM got pictures in the special 1993 style for WWE (barring a few jobbers), WCW and much of Mexico so work is going well in that respect, hopefully there is still an interest in this. Also negotiations have begun to bring together myself and Phil Parent, he would be a great asset if he comes on board with this mod and we put our previous T-Zone/RaveX rivalry behind us

[Kobe1724]

This sounds epic. :)

[davidEFC]

Yessss, I knew you wouldn't let us down. :D
