[Release] nGo: Generations


Recommended Posts

Scanned some photos from my magazine collection, I have many more but here is what I have so far - not sure if these are already included in the pack but figured I'd share them for anyone who wants to use them.

 

I know at least some of them are already in, but great work nonetheless! Some great pictures among them. :)

<p>Welcome back!</p><p> </p><p>

I was never a huge fan of the forehead cut-off point until I started cutting in this style. Having the face zoomed in helps when actually playing the game because the majority of the time you're playing, you'll see worker images at a smaller resolution (like at the booking/results screen).</p><p> </p><p>

I used to cut at just the top of people's heads and the pictures looked too small when in-game.</p>

Just FYI, there will be a major update to this file for TEW2k16 including a lot of overall re-sizing. I'm taking suggestions for the "perfect" scaling. I've decided that the majority are too zoomed in and cut off at the top.

 

Will us modders who have been using nGo have to re-assign any pictures when we bring our mods to TEW 2016? I don't mind if we do because I probably need to update pics anyway, and I can do that first before diving in to making major updates to my respective mods. I just wanted to know so I can figure out what to plan ahead for.

No, I will not be replacing any files except with either a recut version of it or a more appropriate version of it. It will still be plug and play with any mod that was already tuned to it.

Makes my job easier, so thank you!

 

BTW, I downloaded the pack link on the first page as I'm going to use the previous nGo pack that I added Taker's cuts to as a pack for my own private games, and I noticed that there were some pics that were released in updates that are missing. Two in particular were the Midnight Rockers cuts from 1986 (I believe labeled as Marty Jannetty 86 and Shawn Michaels 86). There could be others missing that I can't remember because I would have to try and locate the updates I downloaded. Just wondering if these cuts that were put out in past updates that are missing in the main link will be added to the next update.

 

EDIT UPDATE: I managed to find the missing cuts by sorting the cuts in my other nGo pack by "Date Modified," so I'll e-mail them to you. In fact, I think they were cuts you made for Alvarasus and myself for our respective 1983 and 1985 mods.

With today's announcement of the ability to apply agers in the editor, I'm hoping more modders will adopt this pack as a single universal pack. You can simply import ages from another mod and apply them to automatically bring your pictures up to date with very minimal effort

I honestly don't see why anyone doing a 90's (perhaps even 80's) mod would not use nGo. I've always sworn to this style for my mods and nGo is in my (somewhat biased) opinion the best pack out there. Most excellent work, justtxyank.

 

Will you be expanding it to include more pictures for the 2000-2010 era? I imagine that'd catch even more users.

I'm with Hive on this. In fact, I've considered doing a July 2011 mod, but the only thing keeping me from doing so is the lack of nGo cuts that would be available for the various indy talent. I know Taker was doing a lot of cuts with more modern workers with his add-ons.

Love the pic pack thank you.

 

Question:

 

Is there a way to get pictures to sink up with alter egos automatically or do I have to do them all by hand?

 

For example: 1994 mod, Mike Rotundo has a picture, but IRS in WWF does not.

 

Mention that in Hive's thread as his mod for 94 is supposed to be plug and play. It's probably an oversight because I think we synced most of the pics in his as it was the first one that used the organic pictures. (it was actually HIS idea lol)

It was your mod that was already using the style or something basically like it that made me fall in love with the style. I know not everyone agrees on everything, but I just love the way these pictures look in game. It adds color, makes the gameworld more vibrant to me. But to each his own obviously.

I'm sure Genadi is going to force me to. :D

 

I know Taker and Oyaji have both done a lot for modern workers.

 

I'll reach out to Oyaji about it. The problem for me is that after 2002ish I just don't know anyone that debuted from that point forward beyond a handful of people. I'll see if Oyaji wants to help again. If people can help do them but keep the scale consistent, that would be awesome.

 

By scale I mean, not too zoomed in for most workers and that you should be able to tell when you look at the picture ideally that The Giant is bigger than Sting who is bigger than Rey Mysterio Jr and that Trish Stratus is not as big as The Giant either.

I'm proud to be able to say that the nGo name was my (rather silly) idea. I honestly wasn't sure you'd agree to it back then. :D

Yeah I was generally not a big fan of the pic packs with cut backgrounds. Ironically, the only cut pictures I really liked (and would likely even have switched to from my own organic pictures, had you expanded it) was your own graffiti pack.

 

But I'm more than happy with the result that is nGo. Like you say, it's so much more vibrant and adds life to the mods. I look forward to your next release. :)
