Mattywood Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 MATT'S STUFF **All work by Matt Shannon are freeware. Any data, graphics, etc. that you need for whatever you're making is free to use.** **There are NO ETAs for anything.** NB: Risky Business utilizes justtxyank's nGo pic pack, found in the link below: http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=534801 An idea taken from Fleisch when he created a one-stop shop thread for his mods for TEW 2013, I have decided to do the same for any and all mods that I will be making for TEW 2016. The first post will be where I'll post links to any and all releases. The second post will be where I'll post updates to anything I'm working on for my mods. http://i.imgur.com/HoDIjIw.jpg Risky Business Beta 1.0 ======================================= It's January 1985, and Vince McMahon is betting the house on an upcoming supercard unlike any other: WrestleMania. It's such a huge risk that he's signed on celebrity talent such as Cyndi Lauper, Mr. T, Liberace, Billy Martin and Muhammad Ali in order to gain mainstream attention. And the junior McMahon hasn't even signed all the in-ring talent that he has had an eye on yet! The various territories proclaim that they think that what Vince is doing in trying to take wrestling national is hurting the business, but many seem to think these regional promoters are just mad that they didn't think of it first. Can the WWF pull off the gamble of a lifetime? Can the territories survive? ======================================= LOCATIONS! Download link coming soon! ======================================= Based on the location found in Justtxyank's Rising Storms mod and expanded upon to add more locations, this will be plug and play data that can be used for any mod. This will utilize the open and close dates that apply to various venues. This means that future venues will be included for mods taking place in more recent times, and open/close dates will be used to help simulate venues changing their names, i.e. the Meadowlands becoming the Izod Center. Locations finished so far USA Mid South South East Mid Atlantic Tri State Canada Alberta British Columbia Manitoba Ontario Saskatchewan The Maritimes Europe Central Europe Iberia Scandinavia France Italy Eastern Europe South Eastern Europe ======================================= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgriff3029 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Love your mods. You do a great job. Growing up in this time, I love playing them. If you ever need a hand with these shoot me a pm and I will see what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattywood Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Thanks for the kind words, folks! Most likely, Risky Business will be the first one released as I'm pretty much happy where the data is at currently. All that will need to be done will be to make tweaks in order to get it up to speed with the new features of TEW 2016. The only thing that will hold it up will be waiting on an updated nGo set from justtxyank now that TV Networks and PPV Carriers will all be in one folder known as Broadcasters. After Risky Business, I'll look to finish updating Main Event. Then I will FINALLY move on to trying to complete Young Guns. After that, I may hold off on modding for awhile as I want to get some game time in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyaji Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Best of luck, Matt. Your mods are fantastic, top drawer stuff and among my favourites to play. Ages ago, I started work on a '92 mod called "Card Subject To Change" and used a graphic very similar to your '93 pic you've posted above. It's such a fascinating time to take over pretty much any promotion as there was change everywhere: USA's big two, Mexico with AAA's formation, and Japan's rising new guard in All Japan, New Japan, All Japan Women's, and the independents. Super hyped for that one! Converting is going to be a very long process because of the new contract features alone. Finding out recent turns and gimmick freshness could be a pain in the butt. Do you plan on tackling those for the bigger promotions? Leaving it all random? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kijar Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I want to play all of these right now. It's a shame I know how busy you are, or I would complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niall2015 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 sent wrestling fans back into the closet, not wanting to admit that they enjoy guys in spandex duking it out in scripted fashion. 2008, is that you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleisch Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Glad to see Risky Business will be out. Still one of my favourite mods on TEW 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding out recent turns and gimmick freshness could be a pain in the butt. Do you plan on tackling those for the bigger promotions? Leaving it all random? It'll depend on the circumstances. Most of the ones in companies I'm not as familiar with will most likely be set to random. Ones I'm more familiar with will most likely have theirs all set. Keep in mind I didn't even touch employment histories as I felt that wasn't as big of a priority as making sure I had everyone's pop set correctly. I want to play all of these right now. It's a shame I know how busy you are, or I would complain. As long as it's in the form of a haiku or set to music. 2008, is that you? 2007/2008 was pretty rough with everyone wanting to dog wrestling fans because they continued to watch after the tragic events of 2007. But wall to wall coverage of psychopaths who shoot up schools and businesses and making them into superstars, that's perfectly fine. Glad to see Risky Business will be out. Still one of my favourite mods on TEW 2013. And now with one night contracts for local workers and TV specials being possible, it'll make old school mods all the more fun to play!

moafnsteel Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I am usually not a fan of historical RW mods, however I have to say I have played all but your Risky Business Mod, and they made me a fan of playing historical mods. Really looking forward to these releases, as you do a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungner Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The furthest back I've gone in playing a TEW mod, is Genadi's 1987 mod. But I was always tempted to play your Risky Business mod, though I never got around to it. This time around, it's gonna be one of the first mod's I'm downloading! Getting to book WrestleMania from the very beginning appeals to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ping von Erich Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 My favorite mod maker and the most anticipated mod (for me, at least) '93. Woot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman74 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Can't wait to play 93 mod I was one of those who stopped watching in the early 90's. Be cool to start in WWF at the beginning of Monday Night Raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne28 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 My body is ready! I have been dying for an early 1993 RW mod since TEW13 came out. I can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbicus Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Question...can I use some of the data out of the Risky Business mod for an earlier 1980s mod I'm working on. Workers mostly...considering I'll have to tweak the stats dramatically to make it all work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweek It Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm sooo looking forward to The Main Event.. taking WWF from January 1988 on will be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattywood Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Again, thanks for the kind words, everybody. Just looking at the editor without even converting anything, it looks like it will definitely take some time to get these mods out. Hence why I'm going with Risky Business first as it's the most complete. Something I will definitely take advantage of in the editor will be Starting Absences, as now I can properly simulate Hulk Hogan not being available until it was time to hype WrestleMania IX for the Young Guns mod.

Justin Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Can. Not. Wait! Risky Business is one of my favorite and an easy all-time "Go To" mod for 2013, and I expect more of the same for 2016! Also I'm amped up for 93, I just hope somebody does a 92 so I can properly handle Ric Flair's first WWF run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurphy1014 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Very excited to get the Risky Business mod for 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjhabeeb Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 super excited for them all but Risky Business is amazing. And having the ability to rebook the 88 Rumble will require all my time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm pumped for all this, but especially for 1993. Best of luck with the mods, Matt, and if you need any help, you can call me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
