justtxyank Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Maybe make his default name Scotty the Body so when he is unemployed it will show as that instead of raven I might change him to Scott Levy if anything. For those who play a long term game I'd hate to see his name stay Scotty the Body. I do have his alter egos setup correctly though in the build I'm looking at right now. He signs with any promotion in the world he will be Scotty the Body until about 1996. If he signs with ECW at any point however, he will sign as Raven almost assuredly. If he signs with WCW he has a strong change to be Scotty Flamingo. If not he will be the Body. The WWF it is either Polo or the Body. All of those stop in 1996 and anywhere he signs it would be under his default name of Raven. That doesn't work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justtxyank Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 I am considering deleting guys like Finkel, Cappetta, etc. from the mod entirely. Any feedback? My reasoning is that they literally have no roles in this game, but having them in the game world can mess up pushes in promotions that they work in. They get hired as announcers instead of others or they bump other people into different pushes when they are on your roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't actually tried the mod yet, but in every RW mod I use I now delete Howard Finkel before I begin a new game. He serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, and he usually gets given poor stats (e.g. D announcing) and low popularity so even if you wanted to have him introduce a match in an angle it would grade terribly. Someone like Lilian Garcia is probably worthwhile keeping in as she did backstage interviews as well as ring announcing, but the game isn't really designed to make use of people like Finkel who doing nothing else.

berrysi Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Maybe just have them out of the business or the like rather than delete them, just gives peeps option if they ever felt need to use such a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justtxyank Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 <p>Excited for the next release. Added some companies. Simming is slower (not terrible by any stretch) but the game world works much better now with all the American workers getting actual jobs. </p><p> </p><p> Of course, if anyone finds it running too slow they can delete some promotions to speed it up, or turn off Australia like I do when I play.

rvdjrv2002 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just noticed something pretty wrong based soley on the fact that they were in one of the featured matches at the 91 Royal Rumble Dusty and Dustin Rhodes should both be under contract to the WWF since they both left shortly after the Rumble id probably only have one month left on their contract allowing WCW to poach if they want.

This is actually not pretty wrong. WCW had already signed Dusty and Dustin Rhodes at this point. They advertised Dusty's return as a color commentator the entire month. (His new contract with WCW specifically said he couldn't wrestle) They finished their dates with the WWF and then went to WCW. There was no way to properly put this in the database to start. If WWF has them under contract they will keep them and the WWF pushes Dusty Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justtxyank Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Couple of things I noticed in WWF In 1991 Haku should not be "King Haku". Haku was teaming with the Barbarian at this time as the Heenan Family. He lost that title to Jim Duggan in I believe 1989. Randy Savage should be "Macho King" at this time as he used his scepter to knock out the Warrior at the rumble. You know what threw me off on this? He did dates for Tenryu's SWS in 1991 and used the King Haku name there. I'll fix this for Haku. On Savage, should his name be Macho King? I don't have him as Macho Man Randy Savage, just Randy Savage. Are you saying it should be Macho King or Macho King Randy Savage? Edit: The problem with naming him Macho King is that the WWF will never change it. Literally, never. So every match he ever works for them will be as Macho King. Jimmy Hart should be in the WWF and managing the Nasty Boys, Earthquake, and Dino Bravo. Yep, already fixed. Overall this is a great mod and am having a lot fun with it. Great Job! Thanks!

jgriff3029 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Maybe give Savage a Macho King gimmick or enter it as an alter ego? I would probably just leave him as the only real difference to his character was to wear a crown and carry a scepter. Either way would work I guess.

I usually just put in "Macho Man" Randy Savage as his name before starting up a game anyway. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgriff3029 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 He started transitioning to the updated gimmick after being "retired" by the ultimate warrior at Wrestlemania. Like I said, I don't remember being much difference in Savage's regular heel gimmick and the Macho King gimmick. It may not even be worth addressing. The main reason I pointed it out was to show Haku wasn't using the King gimmick at the time. But you're right Matt, he didn't use this gimmick after his face turn at wrestlemania.

soxfan93 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Planning out a long-term WWF game, and I may be wrong, but I think Tito Santana should be signed. He was in the Rumble and wrestled at WrestleMania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justtxyank Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'd suggest if you are about to start a game to wait. I'll probably release the next version today as I won't be able to work on it again in much detail the rest of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattywood Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 You are right. He didn't leave until after Wrestlemania. I'll fix that. And WrestleMania IX at that. After all, it was the fall of 1991 that we were first treated to "El Matador" Tito Santana. He was still around till at least May or June 1993 as he lost a King of the Ring qualifying match to Scott Hall(Razor Ramon) on Superstars in May of that year.

justtxyank Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Only thing I really need input on: Event Names for WCW and WWF. Should I go ahead and just give them the events they would eventually use? Otherwise the game will assign them events from the random event name file and you'll see WWF Proving Ground.
