Montreal Aftermath, set Dec '97 will be out in the next few weeks a little birdie tells me ;)

 

As far as real world mods go, this is my favorite and the one I'm looking forward to the most on '10. This and Tommys WOTI was the only mod I could even play with real wrestlers. Can't wait til this is ready for release.

Hey Genadi, go shamelessly promote your mod somewhere else :p

 

This was my favorite mod for the last TEW is there a chance that it will be getting updated for the new TEW?

 

There is a pretty good chance. I've been working on it lately and have had a volunteer putting together some pictures that were missing in previous versions. It won't be out for a while though, I still haven't bought TEW 2010 so haven't been able to test out how things are different.

 

Good news is, it won't just be a straight port over but an expanded version. Currently at around 1600 workers, 490 alter egos, and I am working on venue capacity, dojos and graduates etc as I want to take advantage of the new features like "first refusal" in dojos to help make the mod follow a more realistic path.

Thanks for the interest Snoopy, it's coming along slowly but surely. I wouldn't want to put a release date on it yet though. Still think it's over a month away.

 

Currently Nightshadeex is plugging away at the pictures and doing a beautiful job of finishing off the pic pack that justtxyank started. The pictures I've seen are awesome and in the same DOTT style as the previous ones.

 

Also if I am not mistaken Justtxyank is doing some title history work.

 

I've added 25 dojos and 247 graduates and am working on putting in some interesting narratives and getting around the storylines which I have been putting off for years. One that's done, then it's just a matter of testing and balancing out the quirks.

 

If anyone has any suggestions for narratives or storylines that'd be cool. At the moment I am focusing on real life narratives but ones which do not really interfere too greatly with the game. Still unsure if I like or dislike the narratives which too closely follow historical events (such as ECW going out of business/The Rock leaving for Hollywood etc) so not sure if I will put that style in or not at this stage.

Cool stuff. I hope you just keep the stats like they were in 1996 (so that you don't "under" or "over" rate them, but instead, keep them about the same as last time). And I saw in one real world mod that WWE Steroid Scandal was a narrative. You know, the one that happened in 2007 [in the quote]. I just didn't want this post to end up being a rant :p

 

On March 19, 2007, Sports Illustrated posted on its website an article in its continuing series investigating a steroid and HGH ring used by a number of professional athletes in several sports. That article mentioned several current and former WWE wrestlers, including Helms who was alleged to have obtained HGH. WWE has since made a statement on this situation, mentioning that the allegations preceded the Talent Wellness program WWE launched in April 2006. On August 30, 2007, an article by Sports Illustrated named Helms and nine other wrestlers to be given growth hormone not in compliance with the WWE Talent Wellness program. He was said to have received testosterone, HGH and nandrolone between November 2003 and February 2007.

The problem with something like that is that when/if the game runs that far, the WWF/E might not actually have any steroid users ingame.

 

Personally, I have yet to be convinced that most narratives are a good idea.

Yeah, this is one of the problems I am having with the whole narratives idea. You don't know if the gameworld will have changed so much so as to make the narrative meaningless by the time it happens. Which is why I am sort of focusing on narratives which add a little interest, but don't really effect the game hugely. Things like a movie being released, Ventura becoming Governor etc.

 

Oh and FlameSnoopy, stats will be fairly similar to last time. I have done a little "Cornelleversing" of the stats but for the most part things won't be too different.

Just to bump my favourite mod -thread again, as I am thrilled to see this one released. Plus, a question for Hamster: will you set up the potential stats same way as in the TEW08 edition, or will you not have them at all? I, personally, like more when there are no potentials set, so that it doesn't become the same world everytime (and so you can re-write the damn history! :D).

Actually funny you should mention that, I did decide that random potentials were probably a little more interesting and have set all (at least I hope I got them all) to random. Guys like Austin, well he already has the talent .... it's just a matter of the push he gets so like you said, I don't think he will need potential set.

 

The potentials in 08 were set more as an attempt to manipulate the engine a little and make certain guys improve faster than others to better emulate reality, but realizing that part of the fun of TEW is in seeing how things can be different .... I think random potentials leave a lot more room for chance.

I'm finishing up my collection of pictures, then it's just sitting down for a few hours (Hopefully no more than 6, Ha!) and cutting them all. There are some people I just had no luck with, so when the data comes out, I'll appeal to the masses for a little help.

 

Hammy, you gotta add in Pete Rose, assuming you haven't already.

Good stuff bro, I'll add Pete Rose and ... as much as I hate to say this ... I added in a couple other guys who I felt were needed or notable by their absence.

 

In terms of the pics you are having trouble finding, can probably get some screen shots of the really obscure dudes (mainly from Japan) and use those since I got a bunch of DVDs from this era lying around. Sorry for being such a fan of obscure wrestling, but I appreciate the work you are doing.

 

Not sure when I will have the data side of things covered though ... been a bit busy lately and some things have made simming a little different this time around. Mainly I need to knuckle down and churn out some of those storylines I have been promising myself I would do for the last year. :o
