wrestlingfan1 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I know its good because it allows for individual creativity and freedom but those could always be changed to suit you're liking. Now that there are official logos for PPV's being made and as part of the game; do you think the other promotions should be fleshed out with some pre-existing events/ppv's as well? My vote is for yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesterx7769 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I voted yes but every promotion has events whether it is a weekly show in a backyard or a monthly global PPV so I am a bit confused by what you mean. Do you just mean the graphics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stennick Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I voted yes but every promotion has events whether it is a weekly show in a backyard or a monthly global PPV so I am a bit confused by what you mean. Do you just mean the graphics? Usually he doesn't know what he means. He just makes nonsensical posts and hopes people understand him before roughly two or three replies later he admits he's not even sure what he meant.

Comradebot Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yes... So long as we use my names for EWA's events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praguepride Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It'd be nice if you could at least see a naming convention. What I end up doing is running one game so the AI sims out the names and then another game where I use it. There should be a "random event name" generator button!

Do you just mean the graphics? both events and graphics. Not every promotion has events when you load them up. Usually he doesn't know what he means. He just makes nonsensical posts and hopes people understand him before roughly two or three replies later he admits he's not even sure what he meant. Wrong again I believe you have me confused with another user on this forum who has wrestling as the first part of his name. Please post a link where i have admitted that i didn't know what i was talking about. To name a few: 5S BOSC BCG BPW CWWF CWW CILL PSW MHW Should I go through the rest of the promotions?

Self Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I have no problem with BSC being without pre-existing event names, so 'No', I don't think it's a necessity. On the whole, I think indy promotions giving their shows names ("IWA-MS The Final Reckoning" for made-up example) is incredibly cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Ultimately, giving every promotion pre-set events is a bad idea. That would then lock that promotion into always running shows at the same time every year, which would be the same in EVERY game making the entire gameworld very predictable and bland. As one of the top promotions you'd be unlikely to notice any effects, but as a small promotion every game would have the same days available to run shows all the time... part of the fun is the variety and randomness of each new game and the conflicting schedules that can be created in each game. Removing that element of randomness completely by assigning shows to everyone would not be fun OR interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrestlingfan1 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yes... So long as we use my names for EWA's events. That was going to be one suggestion either have the names be chosen from the most popular diary of a promotion or... It'd be nice if you could at least see a naming convention. What I end up doing is running one game so the AI sims out the names and then another game where I use it. There should be a "random event name" generator button! Have it done through the forums. Where people can submit names which are then voted on and the 12 with the most votes are used for the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkWrestleFan Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I started a DIW game and they didn't have any default events setup, had to do them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When setting up promotions and what not via coding there isn't a way to have pre determined events with out telling it when to run the event?

Adam Ryland Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 we should have access to the database the AI use for teams and events IMO If those lists were made editable you'd either: A - have to simplify them, losing all the subtle checks that are in place to keep unsuitable names out of the mix or B - keep all the subtle checks courtesy of a very detailed editor, and have a bump in loading times due to having to check a big file every time a tag team is generated I personally don't like either option, I think the current system is better.

I couldn't care less if the lists are editable, I'd just like to be able to see the lists of names. I still have a copy of EWR on my computer for that very reason.
