They should look something like this: [URL=http://img44.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=th_97943_1_122_1141lo.jpg][IMG]http://img44.imagevenue.com/loc1141/th_97943_1_122_1141lo.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img218.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=th_97945_2_122_145lo.jpg][IMG]http://img218.imagevenue.com/loc145/th_97945_2_122_145lo.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img109.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=th_97946_3_122_1180lo.jpg][IMG]http://img109.imagevenue.com/loc1180/th_97946_3_122_1180lo.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img195.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=th_97949_4_122_43lo.jpg][IMG]http://img195.imagevenue.com/loc43/th_97949_4_122_43lo.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://img102.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=th_97951_5_122_598lo.jpg][IMG]http://img102.imagevenue.com/loc598/th_97951_5_122_598lo.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img133.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=th_97952_6_122_627lo.jpg][IMG]http://img133.imagevenue.com/loc627/th_97952_6_122_627lo.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://img241.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=th_97952_7_122_337lo.jpg][IMG]http://img241.imagevenue.com/loc337/th_97952_7_122_337lo.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://img244.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=th_97953_8_122_258lo.jpg][IMG]http://img244.imagevenue.com/loc258/th_97953_8_122_258lo.jpg[/IMG][/URL] That isn't done in the youtube video but it's a 20 minute automated photoshop process and it won't take long once the rest of the mod is complete. Two computer crashes have cost me 350+ workers at different points but I'm chugging along. Wanted to post some vids of my progress, and also make this an open request topic. Is there an original match you want to see included in the vein of the elimination chamber? Post the details here. Do you want to be included as a new worker? Post a pic of yourself, your bio including birth date (real or fictional) and the stats that are most important to you (Don't post full stats as I'll select them for balance purposes, but you can post what stats you want to be highest). Have any questions abut the Kobeverse? Anything else that you really want to see included? Suggestions? Lemme know. :) I have 40 workers left to do to have all of the rosters filled, pretty much all males: TO=+12 HWF=+19 NAPWT=+9 19 hispanic (16 male, 3 female) 21 white (20 male, 1 female) I also want to add more unemployed workers and new workers though and, so even though a beta is forthcoming in the near future (no set date, sorry. :(), I'll still be working on it afterward. I need to cut 16 more Hispanic cuts and then all cuts will be completed for the beta phase of the mod. After I'm done with the workers I'm going to rewrite the bios to be more wikipediaish because I liked that format in another mod I saw. Title lineages are also only around 50%. Like I said there is work to do but I thought this could use an update and a more visual idea of my progress. Request: If you have any pictures of Hispanic males please post. I need another 15 or so Hispanic worker pics. It's kind of hard to find Hispanic pics online of workers built like wrestlers so if anyone has some that would be great. Also, any pics of random people in masks? I've got about 25 masked wrestlers in the game world, and want to get that number to 75 or so without using real masked wrestlers. :) Thanks. PROGRESS: The 1067 number is the number needed for a totally full database. I will still add another 80-150 workers in addition to that before release though, and in the future will add more new workers. Workers: 1027/1067 Gimmicks: ???/??? Hall of Immortals: 69/???

[QUOTE=D16NJD16;509962]Ill download this just for the cuts[/QUOTE] Ouch? :) I don't know if the pics will really be any good for a real world mod or whatever once I run them through all of those filters, but go for it, I guess. ^_^ Guess my hype video failed at hyping anyone up lol.

[quote]Guess my hype video failed at hyping anyone up lol.[/quote] Well I dunno about other people's browsers, but all I get is a bunch of html (didn't even notice until you mentioned a video though) It's good to see that this is coming out though

Maybe I phrased that wrong, the mod looks really creative, but I would definitely want to get my hands on the original cuts.

[QUOTE=D16NJD16;510005]Maybe I phrased that wrong, the mod looks really creative, but I would definitely want to get my hands on the original cuts.[/QUOTE] No it's cool. I didn't really take it badly, I was just kidding around. I get that it's a project that has a limited range of people that will be interested in it (mainly a section of the cornellverse crowd I'm guessing). I more so started it as a hobby/pet project and am just kind of just releasing it to the community just in case other people are interested. :) That said, I don't want my mod to just become a pic resource for new workers but I will probably post a bunch of the pics eventually anyway. I actually have a few topics in this forum already with a few of the cuts posted if you want them. Just do a search for my username. :) crayon here are the vids: Hype/Progress Vids: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hRvYCQW6-s[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXUq39K7Jjc[/url] ^^ Nothing really very interesting about them, just showing my progress.

Just 47 more workers needed for first phase of database. Going to take a few days off and plug back at it. :) 1346 worker pics cut. I have all of the cuts I need aside from 19 Hispanic males are still needed. If anyone has any shirtless/buff Hispanic guys please post here. :)

Starting Today, I'm going to post some bios and promotional info about key wrestlers to build interest. First off is the United States Wrestling Federation: [URL=http://img525.imageshack.us/my.php?image=uswfnv2.png][IMG]http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/4648/uswfnv2.th.png[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php][IMG]http://img525.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif[/IMG][/URL] Founded by Edward Stingley in 1986, the promotion has since been bought by Cleophes Oreh, who's put his friends and family in positions of power. Rather or not USWF will be able to remain successful due to this move remains to be seen, but as it stands it and NAPW are the premier Sports Entertainment promotions in North America. USWF differs from most other promotions in that it does not differ between gender and weight class, pushing all of it's workers (male and female alike) in one division together. Rank: 2nd (National) Popularity in the US: B Here is one of the top draws for USWF, Summer Valentine: [url]http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/9633/summervis3.png[/url] Summer Valentine (born April 24, 1974) is an English professional wrestler currently signed to the United States Wrestling Federation (USWF). Without a doubt the greatest female wrestler of all time, Summer Valentine burst onto the wrestling scene in 1999 and hasn't looked back since. A transcendtly charismatic superstar, she's dominated the women's division for her entire career, and has stood toe to toe with the best of the men as well. She is a talented all rounder and 11 time USWF women's champion, as well as a 1 time USWF world champion. She is currently married to Giles Valentine, the reigning USWF world champ. It is widely agrred that Summer is responsible for making women's wrestling "mainstream", and indeed because of her women's matches are oftentimes the main event at PPV's--at least for USWF, which integrated its mens and womens divisions because of her. Here is a wrestler new to the main event, Darien Wilde: [url]http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/13/wilde1bx8.png[/url] Darien Wilde (born December 15, 1982) is an American professional wrestler currently signed to the United States Wrestling Federation (USWF). He is a good all rounder who looks to be the future of the promotion. His sisters Jennifer and Teagan Wilde, his brother Leon Wilde, and his father the legendary Aaron Wilde are all wrestlers. Darien has been pushed very hard by the promotion lately, and may have been given a little too much too fast, as he wasn't able to generate enough heat as champion to keep the belt on him in either of his 2 reins. However, he got "Summer Valentine" level pops when his sister Jenn Wilde was his manager in 2003, and for a time he was both the hottest wrestler on the roster and in the world. However, some bad bookings and Evan Starks appearance on the roster really damaged his momentum, and he has since been struggling to get it back. Management still believes him to be the next big thing, and another title run is predicted to be in the works soon. And here is his sister who is also on the card, Jenn Wilde: [url]http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/3439/jennwildeag9.png[/url] Jennifer Wilde (born November 3, 1984) is an American professional wrestler currently signed to the United States Wrestling Federation (USWF). The heir apparent to Summer Valentine, Jenn Wilde is one of the brightest young stars today and the future of women's wrestling. A gifted all rounder, she's ultra cute, charismatic and hard working. She has been called "too pretty" for wrestling, and in fact several media outlets have called her the most beautiful woman in the world. She was initially an up and coming Victoria's secret model when USWF women's champion Summer Valentine saw her when she attended an event of her brothers and floated the idea of trying her out as a manager to the booking team. The booking team liked the idea and after working as Darien's manager for a few months she showed some in ring potential. Citing her otherworldly good looks and the fact that she was beginning to get more pops from the crowd than even her brother Summer took Jennifer as her student.
