Small questions that don't deserve their own thread

[RayW]

Figured I'd get this started since I have a couple small questions...

 

1. How do you get the AI to control your tag partner?

 

2. Do you only gain popularity if you are succesful in a storyline?

[Pampero Firpo]

<p>1. Click on the partner's picture and then click the "Change Control" button at the bottom of the popup.</p><p> </p><p> 2.

<p>Click on your partner's picture when he's in the ring and then I think the button says "Change Control" or something like that. You'll have to control him for that turn but from then on he'll be AI.</p><p> </p><p>

I think the only method of gaining popularity is winning specific storylines but it's possible I'm wrong.</p>

[Blake Trask]

You have to have a few successes in storylines. You will then get a storyline where accomplishing success will see your popularity rise.

[Blackman]

<p>Does the gameworld evolve with you? In other words: do stats increase for all workers as in TEW, or is the gameworld static like in CBH (unsure, only played the demo), where you basically start as a scrub and work your way into pro wrestling godhood while the rest remains unchanged?</p><p> </p><p>

I really hate static gameworlds, so I hope it works like TEW.</p>

[Blake Trask]

AI workers can improve and decline over time.

[Teh_Showtime]

I am pretty sure AI spirit and overall moves with their popularity but not too sure about everything else.

[D-Lyrium]

All stats rise/fall just like TEW (using similar maturity/decline ages, I mean. It's not the exact same, obviously). Overall Rating and Spirit rise and fall with popularity for AI wrestlers because the maximum value for them is based on popularity.

 

They also sign/get fired/quit companies too. The only thing 'static' about the game world really is the companies themselves.

 

 

One thing I would be interested in knowing, but can't be arsed to test it myself (I think I've earned a break )... what happens if a worker who starts with more than what "should" be their maximum Overall Rating and Spirit, gets demoted in popularity? I know that, under normal circumstances, a Star's maximum spirit is 800*, but is it a case of "you're a Star so your max spirit is 800" or is it a case of "you're a star so your max spirit is 100 more than it was when you were Well Known"? If he loses a 'level', does his spirit go to 500 (like it would if it happened to your user character) or does it go to 100 lower than his current maximum?

 

For example, Samoan Machine is an Indy Star (maximums are always based on your HIGHEST popularity globally), so his maximum Spirit should, according to career mode, be 600*. But he starts at 725. If he gets demoted, does he go alllll the way down to 500 Spirit, or does he go to 625 (100 lower than his previous maximum)?

 

If someone wants to intentionally suck as Samoan Machine for two months and find that out, that'd be great. ¬_¬ ¬_¬

 

Similarly, assuming that the former is true (it goes to 500, as that's the usual maximum for Well Known), if he then gets promoted again does he retain his 725 maximum spirit, or is it set back at 600?

 

There's a challenge for someone who's really bored. Adam could probably just tell us, but it's more fun to work things out.

 

(* the caps start at 350/300, and rise by 100 per level up to Star (850/800), then jump to 1000/1000 at Mega Star. So technically an Indy Star with 725 spirit has 125 'too much' (which is down to the character being particularly good in that area, not a database error)).

[Blake Trask]

<p>If you have broken your spirit/overall rating cap and then drop back down, at least for the player, you do not lose your gains.</p><p> </p><p>

I am at 310 spirit at Unknown and 410ish overall rating, both of which break the cap for unknown but which I advanced to whilst I was local talent.</p>

[D-Lyrium]

Aha, cool. I guess that was a way easier way of finding out. ¬_¬

[RayW]

If I were to convert a database from TEW2013, could I go through and just set the trademarked moves (obviously with adjustments), or would I need to also create movesets?

[D-Lyrium]

You can just set the trademarked moves, the game will auto-generate movesets if you don't assign one. However, you will need to set the culture and category for each wrestler, or they'll all have access to every move (that they have the ability to perform), leading to Triple H using a Comedy Underwear Pull on Steve Austin in the main event of Wrestlemania, or Western workers who barely know where Japan is using a Japanese Binta instead of a Punch, which isn't ideal. ¬_¬

 

Movesets are only really needed for guys with particularly limited movesets (Hi Cena!) or guys who use a lot of moves that aren't associated with their style, but aren't really trademarks either.

[RayW]

As always, D-Lyrium, thanks for the help.

[Teldil]

<p>Regarding move commentary:</p><p> </p><p>

When writing commentary for a move, for the "move misses" situation...does it apply to one of the counters I selected to the move?</p><p>

if the move has "avoid" and "block" as counters, how do I set different commentary for the block option, and for the avoid option ?</p>

[D-Lyrium]

There is no special commentary for different counters. All counters use the same commentary (except for when you counter with another move instead of an action, which doesn't use any specific commentary).

[firelord33907]

Can you make friends or enemies in WS3? Havent seen anything asked or said about it yet so decided to post it here.

[D-Lyrium]

Not officially. Sometimes you'll have allies or enemies for a storyline, but you don't make long term friends or enemies like workers in TEW do.

 

Although you'll end up with plenty of your own 'enemies' in your head as you go through your career (Bob Shrunkle! :@).

[MikeSc]

Where does the game store generated worker pics at? Wondering so I can rip a few for something.

[MightyDavidson]

Is there a stab with fork move in the game, for those of us who want their psychos to be like Abdullah the Butcher, or does it have to be added via editor?

[D-Lyrium]

They're actually in the same People folder as the other pictures (WreSpi3/Pictures/Default/People). The unused ones for generated wrestlers are prefixed with CVFP_ (but they can be named whatever you like as long as they're set up in the Free Pictures section of the editor).

Unfortunately there are no cutlery-based moves in the default database. Unless you count the Knife-Edge Chop.

[MightyDavidson]

Time to try the editor then.

How do you get offers from huge level companies? I'm Well Known Popularity in the US but no job offers from them. I'm going for well known in other places too after activiting but still no job offers. Is there a limit to how many companies you can be in and get offers?

[D-Lyrium]

There's no limit on the number of employers, that I'm aware of. Perhaps - if you're playing a mod - their hiring rules exclude you from being hired (no Huge companies in the default CVerse have hiring rules though).

 

There's no reason that a Huge company would hire any differently from any other sized company as far as I know.

 

Silly question but you don't have an exclusive contract, right? Also is it the end of the month? You only get job offers between storylines.
