C-Verse 2001: The Hype Thread


Recommended Posts

The Saga continues/Help Wanted

 

Progress continues on the CV2001 mod, however I will admit that it has been slowed by real life responsibilities I've had to take care of. One aspect that I'm constantly putting off is the title lineages. Titles lineages take up a lot of time that could be spent elsewhere so I've never gotten down to taking them from 97 to 2001. But it has to be done. So...

 

Would anyone care to aid me and help complete the title lineages? Your contribution would be a big help in forwarding this mod.

 

i sent a PM about doing this

I'd be happy to do some writing if you've got a clear direction you want to go in (rather than saying "please do me six bios for these guys") with no other info.

Dude, I'd love to do bios like that. The Celt, hit me up if you need this.

I plan to do most, if not all of the bios, but if it becomes a case where I can't or I get of writing them I'll let ye know. Honestly, if I do need someone to write bios it'll likely be for minor Mexican characters.

Si, senor.

Update

Rumours of this mods' demise have been greatly exaggerated dear friends. The last month and half were incredibly busy for me and I'm not much work on mod could be done. That said, completion is not a million miles away. The main body of work that has to be done at the moment is the bios, which I'm working away at now and will be doing for at least the next 4 weeks uninterrupted. After that, a few tweaks, then I'm going to be giving maybe say 5 to 7 testers a beta copy of the mod. They'll run through the mod a bit, and then we'll all discuss what does or doesn't need doing. Post that stage we're looking at a mass release.

 

Note: When it does come to selecting testers, I'll be looking for guys who'll actually run through the mod rather than just play parts of it, so I get a strong idea of how the mod plays overall

 

Also, in the coming week or so I'll be asking for advice about tweaks regarding SWF, 4C and Mexican rosters. More info on that later.

Spent the last week and half writing new bios for US, Canadian and UK workers, balancing out popularity issues for a number of workers, fixing current champions, trying to balance out SWF and try to get the UK scene to look right.

 

SWF is a bit of a challenge because I've stripped it of a bunch of guys from '97 since alot of them are too old and need to retire. That said I can't take too much away or SWF goes into predator mode and starts feeding mercilessly on DAVE. Part of the problem is that while SWF has Runaway Train, Christian Faith and Sam Keith the AI is reluctant to use them as much it could for some reason. Hence Mr. Supreme might well get to hang on as might Rory McCallum.

 

DAVE, CZCW, USPW, SCCW, HGC, NOTBPW, AAA, NYCW and CGC I consider everything done apart from their roster bios (actually I've done all DAVE's bios, CZCW is 90% bios done and CGC's bios are fairly solid too).

 

4C's roster needs some tweaks, I'll probably let the testers and people who comment in this thread make suggestions on it.

 

Japan is pretty solid from my view, the roster haven't changed that much since 97 so there wasn't all that much do it.

 

As I mentioned the UK is being rebalanced but I think I should be able to do that on my own.

 

On one hand Mexico still feels weird to me so I'll probably let someone who asks have at it. On the other hand according to the cannon Mexico slumps hard in 2002 so the weird feel might be a good thing.

 

That's pretty everything for now. Testing will likely begin sometime in the next 30 days or so all going well.

As you guys can see currently it's mostly unchanged from '97 has a bunch of created characters from that mod. Should I just scrap a bunch of them and create some of my own characters or should I draw from canon characters?

@Teh_Showtime Totally forgot about Joey Poison for some reason. Yeah I'll more than likely add Poison to the mix since the 4C main event is lacking in both quality and flavour. Good catch.

 

@20LEgend Currently I have the Gilberts working for CZCW, but adding them to 4C would make sense too since I can't imagine it took them more than half a decade to find steady work in their own homeland. So yeah, they'll be another addition, and a good one at that since 4C right now is lacking in teams.

Also looking back at some of the articles on the CV website, The Specialists were a top 10 tag team heading into 04. Maybe they are on their way out and into CGC in 01 so 4C is somewhere I could see them

 

During my research I found out that in the cannon The Specialists didn't start out as a tag team. Instead Art Reed and Bobby Thomas were actually teaming up a bit for NOTBPW and were supposed to do a one night job for DAVE. However for some reason Art couldn't make the journey so Vibert brings in Nate Johnson to be Bobby's partner and then boom boom boom they've both instant chemistry and decide to hook up in Canada alot more.

 

So Bobby Thomas is out at the moment, he'll be working for NOTBPW as part of the House of Stone Class of 2001. However I could throw Nate into 4C, currently I have him simply as free agent.
