Genadi Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 In memory of "The Macho Man" Randy Savage http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/Costnaza9/macho.jpg "The Golden Age Part II" Version 1.0 Start Date: December 1, 1988 * Another massive thank you has to go to the pic cutters, in particular Togg, MJStark and a Rock return mega pop for Michgcs on this one, the guy worked just as hard if not harder then myself to get this done. * A number of contracts were deleted from WWF, the reason was either the worker wasn't working consistently enough to warrant an add or weren't important enough overall in consideration of the roster positions. In some cases workers were changed to Occasional Workers. For players who want to add those guys contracts anyway the list is as follows... (Please note doing this will throw the starting roster positions a little out of whack) WWF: Jeff Gaylord, Tim Patterson, Dale Veasey, Gene Ligon, Tom Stone, Sonny Rogers, Maxx Payne (as Darryl Peterson). Data: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20479379/1988.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?2is26cm21atxi62 If you have the latest picture packs from the TGA mod only a handful of extra pics are needed to complete this scenario. If you don't have the packs they're still available to dload, let me know if links break I'll re up. Workers: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20479326/Workers.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?cghlnzmdrh28fd7 Random: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20479325/Random.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?2s1lij57wj65kg2 Only one pic for the Events folder, wasn't worth zipping etc. Just copy and paste into the Events folder and it's linked in game... http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/Costnaza9/Starrcade88.jpg Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattywood Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 That was quick! Just downloaded and hope to get started this weekend. Maybe I'll be able to get Flair to come along with Windham, Tully and Arn to the WWF this time around and instead of Savage hiring Zeus, he hires the Horsemen to try and help him take out Hogan. EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaand... Dirty White Girl is STILL set to Male. http://blackwaterdog.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/homer-simpson-doh.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartman Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Wow, got to love gamefront as a download service. Really fast. Of course the files are microscopic but still fast. And if this is my last allowed post on here, thank you Genadi for making such amazing mods for all of us to enjoy. They are truly awesome to play. Wish someone was paying you for them or acknowledging the impact they've made on GDS. Hopefully these mods will be around for a really long time for everyone to enjoy. Happy modding and "What now Sheldon!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smartman Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I guess I'm still allowed to post so I'm not going anywhere yet. I'm not allowed to say why as the opinion police are watching my every post. Looking forward to playing this mod some today. Thanks again Genadi. I would say you're #1, but again the opinion police won't like that so I won't.

Jaded Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Looking awesome as always, Genadi! Quick question - is there a reason Nelson Knight is so popular? He starts off in the 40's all over the US, which seems high compared to guys like Callous and Foley who'd been around a few years by this point. Just wondering.

He starts off in the 40's all over the US, which seems high compared to guys like Callous and Foley who'd been around a few years by this point. Just wondering. To be fair someone like that would always be over/popular wherever they debuted because they would be unique and an instant "monster" opponent... heels would be scared and faces would be mown down by him... In Knight/Vis/Mabel's case he had solid charisma from day one... guys like Callous and Foley did not have that overt charisma until they settled into their gimmicks...

smartman Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I can't say anything about Viscera/Mabel, but I will add that as a CWA/USWA weekly watcher from 1980-close that I never remembered Callous or Mick being in there so they obviously didn't have that much popularity. Austin on the other hand I had pegged for super-stardom from the first time I saw him. Never could understand why nobody booked him well until he finally came up with his own gimmick and took off like a rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never could understand why nobody booked him well until he finally came up with his own gimmick and took off like a rocket. IIRC, weren't Callous and Mick gone right before World Class was changed to being the Texas portion of the USWA? And I could've sworn that I saw Callous appear on at least one USWA show, albeit for the Texas portion of it that ran out of the Sportatorium.

smartman Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Time-line wise, Callous should have still been there when it opened. Mick Foley has been listed as wrestling back when it was still CWA. As I said, I don't remember either of them but at that time they were probably curtain jerkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Austin's professional debut (under the name Steven Williams) against Callous (wrestling as The Punisher). It was in USWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of the batch of guys I imported from a mod where he'd debuted already. There'll prob be a few more of those guys set with pop like that, please let me know and I'll fix. Those guys aren't intended to start with any pop. Sorry I've been a lil slow on replying and stuff this week guys, a bit snowed under atm but should be back on track in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consrvtve Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 great sequel pack. I rolled it back to august so I could do summerslam with mega powers vs mega bucks. Had to edit some peoples debuts and WCW/USWAs but I love it. One thing and I dont know if its been mentioned. Blackjack Lanza in WWF is linked to blackjack mulligan's pic. It was that way in 1987 too. Not a huge issue but maybe something to take care of down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justtxyank Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Genadi, you are also missing Steve Regal in your database. You have Steven Regal set to use the name Steve Regal on one of his contracts and that prevents the real Steve Regal from being added to the game.

redhilleagle Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 First of all, what an AMAZING mod. I'm quite new to TEW but played EWR for years. However I need some help, I think I'm doing something wrong with the picture pack. I have the background (arena photo) but not the logo / person in the foreground. Any help?

da_man_dh Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 why is it that for WCW I have to buy the tv title and us tag team titles? If WCW has been using them, why do I have to still buy them? I know its a WCW buying out Jim Crockett but they really didn't change the names of the belts till '90 or '91. also why is there a nwa us title and a wcw us title?

smartman Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 This can be filed under "Things that have to be done this way because of how the game works". Yes, they didn't officially break from the NWA until 91, but there is no way to have the AI do that and the player won't either. So, this is the compromise. Frankly, I wish the belts weren't in there at all because I felt very dirty when I bought the TV title as WWF. Basically, those belts are the ones that Turner had to create when the NWA demanded their belts back. Just pretend that the NWA ones don't exist.

MasterJ Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 So I'm loving WCW in this Mod. I'm currently in Jan. of 1989. My Major stor I am setting up is The Kings of Wrestling (Ric flair, Dusty Rhodes, Eddie Gilbert (Dusty's Protege), and Shane Douglas (Flairs Protege)) Going Against the team of Sting, Ron Simmons, Lex Luger, and Stan Lane (Haven't decided the name of their stable yet.) I plan on having KoW dominate WCW for a few years like the NWO did later on in WCW, but also keep it fresh as in new members, members being droped maybe a Flair or Dusty face turn far down the road (Dusty more likly than Flair.) What you guys think of this storyline, and what should the name of Stings stable be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, those belts are the ones that Turner had to create when the NWA demanded their belts back. Just pretend that the NWA ones don't exist. yeah I understand what happened in 91 but I thought that turner just renamed the belts because the history of the tv & us titles remained after they got renamed. I know the world title & tag titles separated but the rest I figured turner had since I never heard the nwa tv or us titles again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
