i effin rule Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 This is a new mod similar to my Organic Effverse. It is still an organic mod, starting with one promotion and some wrestlers. More promotions will debut and the game will generate the workers. Where this is different is that its starting date is 1980, where television is already booming and the cable age is on the horizon. Promotions come about much quicker than the previous mod and have higher pop. This mod isn't simply the old mod with a new date, as it will actually use the original mod as part of the backstory. This backstory can be read partially in this post, with more flavor and story in the bios of the workers and promotions. The Rise and Fall of Professional Wrestling (1920-1932) The forming of the first true pro wrestling promotion, Southern Pro Wrestling, catapulted what had been a Carnival side show into a popular and legitimate sport. Fans quickly took the the idea, pushing for more promotions to open up in the United States and across the world. Men like Joe Boone, Daniel Loiselle, and Levi Andrews would translate their success and popularity in the United States to open up promotions of their own, continuing the traditions all had formed in SPW. It didn't take long for pro wrestling to become a global sport as successful promotions could be found in America, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Japan, England and Australia. The quick rise of the sport and selection of Los Angeles as an Olympic host made for a perfect marriage; professional wrestling as an Olympic competition. This decision would ultimately lead to wrestling's catastrophic ending. Much like any other Olympic competition, trials and matches were scheduled in each competing country, putting together the official teams. It was no surprise that some of the SPW originals were captains for their country's teams. As the competitions went on, it was no surprise that these originals were the stars and ultimately being ones who claimed medals. In a bit of a surprise, major underdog Levi Andrews upset, six time wrestler of the year, Danielle Loiselle to claim the gold medal. This was a major shock and a lot of money was lost in gambling. When the dust settled on the Olympics there were still some left with sour tastes in their mouths, specifically the International Olympic Committee and certain organized crime members. Pro Wrestling, for the first time, was really being looked at under a microscope. The hammer dropped. The digging into pro wrestling revealed an ugly secret that all in the business had known and kept hidden; wrestling was fixed. Evidence found that dating back until at least the birth of SPW, pro wrestlers were predetermining the outcome of matches in order to get the most from the fans. This even included the Olympics. The founding members of Southern Pro had concocted a plan that would put most of them over as well as ensure a major payday for all those involved. The world was outraged. The entire competition was stricken from the books, pro wrestling permanently removed from the Olympics, and each country left to handle the disciplines on their own. With many of the wrestlers terrified of potential mafia blowback, they worked closely and willingly with the government bodies to reach a deal. America was the first to outright ban the "sport", with many countries following suit after. Professional wrestling was dead.

i effin rule Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 The game is currently in the beta stage, but is close to completion. Please download and enjoy the data, letting me know any issues that you may find or suggestions that you have. Known Issues: TPW quickly falling to regional. Promotions without bios. No women's title. It looks as though I'll have to add a full set of titles for all the promotions with a female division, so if you would like to suggest title names for any of those promotions, please feel free to do so.

Basmat01 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Been looking forward for this data so I went right into a watchers game. By 1990 there are 36 promotions but only 198 workers in my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your "New Worker Frequency" setting set to? For the first...6 months at least [in my personal opinion] it should have been Very or Extremely High, and then from then on at least Medium.

Fleisch Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Change it to very high for a year. I done it for 6 months and had around 250 workers, after a year I had upwards of 400 to use. Then I set it to medium for a further couple of years. Currently I'm in 1985 and have a good number of workers to hire for my new promotion. Of course there is still bit of an issue when it comes to no Road Agents but I just added a bunch of random characters to the data as Road Agents before I started - they don't appear on TV so I randomised their names and set them at various degrees of skill.

I changed it to high then simmed to the year 2000. 67 promotions are open but 18 of those don't have a owner or booker and most of them debuted during the 80's.

Zergon Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 First of all great mod i effin rule. I haven´t started a long game yet as I want to fix free pictures so that they can be used again to avoid a situation where I could run out of pictures but once I get that done I plan to start a long game to see how things go. I also love TWP´s starting roster, so many colorful characters that it will hard for me to play anywhere else than USA. One suggestion that I have is to maybe increase TWP´s starting prestige a little bit as that fall to regional seems to put their prestige below Havoc XP´s minimum requirement or at least that happened to me on my test run with them. I changed it to high then simmed to the year 2000. 67 promotions are open but 18 of those don't have a owner or booker and most of them debuted during the 80's. This is somewhat of a result of that low worker generation as there just haven´t been enough workers who could act as owners/bookers. Also I´m pretty sure that booker cannot be young lion so only guys who are old or respected enough can become bookers. Not much you can do about it now, other than editing some of the older workers as possible owners/bookers via editor or just wait that enough owners/bookers will debut via worker generation. On different question, has anyone tried on what worker generation level (or era´s gender settings) should be used so that enough wrestlers would be generated for all women promotions to run correctly? That was a problem to me in original Effverse as I liked to run with just medium worker generation which produced about 1 - 2 female wrestlers per year and usually in area where there wasn´t any promotions who could use them.

Fleisch Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Only way I can see around the owner situation is to have an owner character debut around the time of the promotion and have the promotion say he/she must be the owner or promotion doesn't open in the editor. That way it stops the person from owning anyone else before the promotion opens so he/she will be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i effin rule Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Been doing some tinkering today, adding titles, adjusting TPW, making some worker edits. I still don't know what the best solution for the road agent is. Are any promotions closing? Getting TV/PPV deals? Getting close to Cult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i effin rule Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 All going well? Anyone found any issues? I'm still working on adding belts to the promotions with a women's division. If I can make/get som renders I may add some road agents to the database to help things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to find an issue, been editing data so that Ref's and Announcers can also be RA's for the time being. It seems that it's worked. I look forward to the update so that some Diary games may be able to get up and running smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayelek Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'll definitely be downloading this when I finally can afford TEW13, so in 3-4 weeks I imagine. Love the organic mods, thanks to all who put the work in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: Titles should be done. Promotions with a women's division should have a Main, Mid, Tag, and Womens title in the game. Going to do some more tweaks and then run some watcher games (stream?) to see how things work out. Should be pretty close to final release though.

i effin rule Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 If you would like to download the full game, I would suggest checking the first post for version 1.0! Hope to see some cool diaries! Speaking of, for any of the renders I did (all of the default and a large portion of the free pictures) I will have copies of them on a transparent background if someone needs them for diary purposes. Just let me know. EDIT: I realized that I forgot to remove "BETA" from the mod title in the database. I assure you it is the complete version (barring any issues). I'll just correct that issue in a later release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
