Download: [url]http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4USWNFOA[/url] Coming soon to [url]www.bobinc.net[/url] :) I had a big happy read me file written but don't seem to have brought it with me or included the right one in the zip file either. Given my lack of net access right now (meaning plenty of time to make things like this) I'm not going to worry too much about it and just quickly sum things up. So... The zip comes with the datafiles and all the updated pictures and logos for the workers and promotions in the game. Add all the workers from the "Workers 1997" folder to the "Default" workers picture folder, the mod uses all the default pictures so you should just be adding to the list. My logos folder has all the default logos in it, so you can simply replace the default folder if you want... or click No many times when asked if you want to overwrite any existing files. :) The data itself comes with a total of 1754 (I think) workers of which 823 are active from the start and only 3 workers don't have pictures at this time. There are also a total of of 86 promotions in the game of which 21 are active at the start, most of these promotions have logos but sadly they are all in 100*100 format so have to be stretched to 150*150, making most of them look rubbish now. *sigh* Lots of stuff has been rejigged for this update, including an alter-ego's file with over 400 alter egos, a dojo graduates file with over 400 dojo graduates and a whole lot of fun stuff for you to find on the way. Long term tests show that the data is significantly more difficult than the default 2008 Cornellverse as I'm pretty mean with stats. The big news in the wrestling industry is still the recent debuts of HGC in the USA and PGHW in Japan. HGC have signed a main event scene of former SWF World champions and megastars, but outside of this handful of famous people most of their roster are unknown. Starting at cult, they have two years to reach National before their main eventers start leaving... assuming Strong and Chord don't retire first. PGHW on the other hand are packed with young talent. With Mushashibo, Kunomasu, Hoshino, Miwa, Tatsuko et al challenging the established stars like Nakane, Kitoaji and Ichihara, PGHW have truly taken heavyweight wrestling by storm in Japan and are hoping to build on their own cult status to take on the juggernaut of BHOTWG. Burning Hammer's heavyweight division is aging but Kikkawa has emerged as a new figurehead for the promotion and is enjoying his first reign as Burning World Champion. What BHOTWG has in it's favour though is the sheer excitement of the Junior division as they have an all star line up at this time. Oniji Taka****a, The Great Hisato, Dark Angel, Black Cobra (Duane Stone), Elemental I and II, Optimus and The Awesome Kioyaru are just some of the names challenging for Naoya Ashikaga's belt and this is the year of the inaugural Best Of Super Junior Tournament. The #1 promotion in the world is still the SWF, headed up by the talents of Sean McFly, Nemesis, Sam Keith, Christian Faith and Bruce the Giant among others. Faith is arguably the most over guy in America at this time and the SWF has a deep roster of talents at their disposal, not to mention their pick of the world's stars. Their dominance hasn't yet come into question, but all that depends on how HGC do. The rest of the US are busy battling each other for supremacy. On the East Caost we have 4 promotions (RPW, DAVE, PPPW and XFW) each with their own style wanting to put each other out of business and capture their share of the market. One of these promotions seem likely to emerge as the next big promotion in the US but only if they don't all destroy each other first... and assuming that NYCW's old school feel or CZCW's exciting modern style don't steal the show. Canada is a family affair as always as the DeColts of CGC and the Stones of NOTBPW continue to expand through Canada. The DeColts main opponents at this time are Eric Tyler's School of Tradition, but with Barry Bowen still a destructive force none of the 3 DeColt boys can rest easy. Meanwhile in NOTBPW the Stones face competition of many styles, with RK Hayes, Dark Angel and Craig Prince facing off against the masterful family. In addition to this, Victoria Stone has helped establish a women's division in the promotion and the first ever NOTBPW Women's champion will be crowned in the near future... Mexico is in a time of rebuilding as many of their top luchadors are retiring or are past their prime. Joining Mr Lucha and Luis Montero among lucha libre's elite are men like Pablo Rodriguez, El Critico, El Demonio and Axxis to name but a few. With OLLIE and MPWF still trying to be the dominant force in the country it may come down to who can invest in the better young talents first, as a new generation of wrestlers arrive on the scene. MOSC are the only real promotion in the UK as 1997 rolls in, but the UK scene is far from inactive. With a lot of unemployed wrestlers in the country the UK is ripe for a new promotion, and much the same thing can be said for Europe who have yet to have a full time promotion debut in the area. And lastly, Australia... often forgotten but they produced SWF talents like Bruce the Giant and The Outbackers. The country may be largely empty but there are a number of ring warriors ready to compete regularly, hopefully in front of crowds of more than a dozen people. --------------------------------------------------------------- Lastly, I just want to quickly thanks a few people. Adam Ryland for making such a great game, I bet you never thought your computing project would turn into your career. :) The team behind the Cornellverse 1975, without whom my data would probably have severely large chunks missing from it. Your work is awesome and I never would have been able to be as creative as you guys have been. And of course, to everyone who had such kind words for the original Cornellverse 1997 release. Thanks to you guys I decided to update the data to take advantage of all the new TEW08 features and let me say this... getting HGC to National isn't as easy as you might think, regional battles are awesome in this and just you wait until you start reaching 2004. Everyone and their dog seems to join wrestling at that time. Thanks to everyone who downloads and plays this, I hope you have as much fun playing as I have had creating... and playing too. And as always, if you see any mistakes let me know so that I can make it even better than I hope it already is. :D [i]Derek B[/i]

So far I've checked out the data (Gotta check up on how my boys have fared into 1997 :D ) and started a game with the XWF, just to see how everything runs. Only a few days in, but each show has looked good so far. Great work Derek_B, once I get done with certain projects I'll definitely have to go back for a full game! :cool:

I have just checked out the data and is mostly seems good but there is one thing that I have noticed. Have you adjusted the stats of the workers? It seems like the older guys in 2008 still have very poor stanima in 97. Also, those who have reached their peak by 2008, should have lower stats in 97.

[QUOTE=shipshirt;444177]Awesome Derek! This, DOTT and the '75 C-Verse mods (along with the default of course) the ones I play. Two down, two more to go ;)[/QUOTE] Agreed. --- Ok, simmed a year and here's what I found: - Awesome Max Wrestling goes under in April 1997. - 4C is set to open in November 1997, though the default data says that they debut in 1996. - Some promotions need to have their logos re-sized and attached.

[QUOTE=praguepride;444487]'97 is definitely my favorite mod to play, but when oh when will Awesome Max get their own logo? ...poor guys have suffered enough without being logo-less :([/QUOTE]Awesome Max's logo was left out of the original data, but added in the thread. I should know.. I made it: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/adambn/TEW%20Random/amx.jpg[/IMG] However i may remake it for 08 if you want
