C-Verse Expansion

[Guest Asaemon]

<p>Yes i'm finally done going through tweaking the TEW imports. This was so incredible boring going through all fighters yet again, but now it's done. Tomorrow i will begin to make title histories for the shootfighting promotions pre-ALPHA-1, hopefully this shouldn't take so long.</p><p> </p><p>

When that's finished i will continue adding narratives and new fighters. When all renders have been used it is time to start merger everything together.</p>

[Scottie]

I found the following, but no head shots for any of them. A couple are massive and need to be resized. Someone else would have to convert them to GIF form, as well.

From what I remember, the first guy is based on Big Nog, and the last on Werdum.

[Blackman]

I think I did re-render Bracewell at some point, btw.

 

Sorry Scottie, I just reinstalled everything and it got overwritten, so I forgot you made that awesome render. It probably made me think of Bracewell because your rerender has the same hair.

[Blackman]

<p>Some new renders made for this database:</p><p> </p><p>

never mind <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> you'll see it when it's done.</p>

Thanks a lot Scottie. I'll convert them to .gif and add them with their bio. <img alt=":cool:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> I also got permission to use a collection of renders from James0, so there will be even more than Scotties, I Effin Rule and my own to add to the database.</p>

[Guest Asaemon]

<p>Axel Gusmao and Hector Faraco has been added to the database. I also added Mpelelo Mubeto since i had a render that fitted him perfect (a low-level wrestler from TEW that would have been retired anyway). Thomaz Ribeiro i don't think i've seen any bio on, so i have to make one.</p><p> </p><p>

I wish there where some unused renders for the Underberg brothers. The unused ones i have left seems to small atleast for Bert "U-Boot" Underberg.</p>

[Guest Asaemon]

<p>Afroduck sent some of his work over, which is great. The few renders that were used by Eyeball and Weidtverse, will be replaced by unused ones. I haven't looked through the data yet, but this will be done before the final merger of all databases/mods/packs.</p><p> </p><p>

I've begun creating some title histories for Universal Shootfighting Federation, Combat Fighting Arts international and Pankration. I will try to keep this as realistic as possible, since all these promotions are Japanese only fighters with a reputation in Japan could have fought there and have held titles.</p>

[Guest Asaemon]

<p><span>http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee489/asaemon/WMMA3/CV%20Expansion/CVExpandedalt3.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

The title histories are done and i have begun to add the title fight histories. This isn't so much work, since i already have the title histories. The database will have complete title histories and title fight histories from the inception of Shootfighting until the birth of ALPHA-1.</p><p> </p><p>

The database will not have complete fight histories, but this will atleast be a start for anyone daring to take on such a massive project.</p>

[Guest Asaemon]

<p>The fight histories/title histories for USF, CFAi and PANKRATION are done. I've tried to do this as realistic as possible and only fighters with popularity in Japan has been used. So there has been no Dan Halvorsen, Manol Sirakov, Beau Gorshin or Greg Atteveld since they all had zero popularity in Japan, however fighters like James Foster, Sean Morrison, Palmer Lette and Hassan Fezzik has been involved in the action.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

So what is left are:</p><p> </p><p>

1. Going through Scotties fighters, CFS and Eyeball pack to see what can be part. I will try to include as much as possible, but i will try to avoid including renders being used in others mods/addons and fighters using renders that already are in the default. Relatives using the renders or alternative renders are ok, but non-relative renders using the default renders or rerenders for the default fighters will not be included. </p><p> </p><p>

Documentation of the imports, edits and tweaks are being created and will be released together with the database so that those that want to import everything from CFS and Eyeball knows which part has been left out and can import it.</p><p> </p><p>

2. Adding more narratives</p><p> </p><p>

3. Adding fighters for all remaining renders</p><p> </p><p>

4. Merge everything together and release the database</p>

Some fighters were not included since the renders were already used. What is left is relationships, adding biographies to the Weidtverse fighters, tweaking some weights, assign some fighters to fight teams and adding some narratives, but this will be done in the final merger.</p><p> </p><p> Now i'm working on the fighters from Redone and the new ones from Afroduck. I will do CFS lastly, since i then will be updated on which renders already have been used.</p>

If the numbers are too small for both flyweight and bantamweight when everything are merged, there should atleast be enough fighters to run bantamweight.</p>

[Blackman]

<p>There will also be about 100 new women debuting from 2005 onward - an entirely new generation so to speak, spread out over 3 divisions. I will revise the weight on the women already in, purely based on the used renders to keep it real. The reason is two weight classes is really low compared to reality, but 4/5 seems too much given the number of fighters in the game (which ironically seems more than the number of professional fighters irl) . Like in real life, you won't be able to populate and maintain a weight class.</p><p> </p><p>

I will also add:</p><p>

- Relationships</p><p>

- Narratives</p><p> </p><p>

If you don't like playing with narratives (because they can and will severly impact the flow of your game), just delete the contents of the narrative.mm3 file, it's as simple as that.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm thinking of adding fighter strategies but I'm still testing to see whether the work will be worth it, as the game does a pretty decent job automating it.</p>

[MFP40]

If you need any relationship inspiration, download the old WMMA demo and install it. There are close to 40 relationships in the default database! I've used those in my own private mod, similar in concept to this one.

[Guest Asaemon]

If you need any relationship inspiration, download the old WMMA demo and install it. There are close to 40 relationships in the default database! I've used those in my own private mod, similar in concept to this one.

 

All those relationships have already been added. Some relationships could not be added anymore, since the non-fighters has been moved from fighters to ceo:s. To simulate some of those relationships that couldn't be added, some narratives have been created for charismatic thrashtalking characters like Matt Tripp.

 

As much as possibly has been used from WMMA and WMMA2 when it comes to relationships, history, nicknames and other things except title/fight histories which is the WMMA3 default ones since we just want to expand the WMMA3 universe and not alter it.

[Blackman]

Is there anybody here that is skilled in creating textures? I still don't like my own creation that much as they are simplistic as f*ck. I can give you the resources, you just need some paint skills and some good imagination. You'd have my thanks.

[Iceisle]

I might be able to help. What kind of textures are you talking about?

[Blackman]

2D templates of clothing. Front and back are flattened out on a 2D image. You need to color them and post PNG's of label names and 2D figures on them. Unlilke the men, you need nice-looking tops for female renders. And to keep it diverse enough, you need to have people cooking up textures for them.

[Iceisle]

I'm still not totally sure that I understand, but if making textures for the tops (or shorts, or whatever) is anything like what London was having us do for masked renders in his TEW database, I'd be happy to give it a shot.

[Blackman]

Yes, it's totally that. Sorry, my mistake. That image I quickly searched was just silly. I'll pm you some templates.

 

Here's some render for the db:

1. Going through GDS CFS to see what can be part. I will try to include as much as possible, but i will try to avoid including renders being used in others mods/addons and fighters using renders that already are in the default. Relatives using the renders or alternative renders are ok, but non-relative renders using the default renders or rerenders for the default fighters will not be included.</p><p> </p><p>

2. Adding more narratives</p><p> </p><p>

3. Adding fighters for all remaining renders <em>(This is almost done. The renders have been used on fighters from Scottie, Redone and Weidtverse. What is left is only to create two more member of the Feitosa BJJ family.)</em></p><p> </p><p>

4. Merge everything together and release the database</p>

[Admire]

Im so freaking hyped for this! Great work guys!

[Blackman]

<p>Guess who made some new textures?</p><p> </p><p>

Well... not me. But Iceisle made some:</p><p> </p><p>

<a href="http://s1216.photobucket.com/user/Marginal0/media/WMMA/promo1_zps59272e53.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd364/Marginal0/WMMA/promo1_zps59272e53.png</span></a></p><p> </p><p>

U can also try your hand at making some. Post them here and if you win, you get to make a character for the mod!... Oh who am I kidding, you get to make one anyway. Maybe presenting it as a price would get people working on some of them. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

[Guest Asaemon]

<p>This is a longshot, but if there are more renders available these fighters can be included in CV Expanded otherwise they have to wait for a possible future release.</p><p> </p><p>
