Parker Stiles Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I can vouch for justtxyank's work on nGo. The organic style cuts have more pop to them, if that makes any sense. And it's pretty neat to see workers' pics evolve over time via the agers, getting more modern as you go further into a game save. nGo pic pack is def the best IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnforcerM Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I can't contain my excitement! I know a release date would be impossible to come up with, but would you perhaps be able to give an estimated month of release perchance, good sirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP1 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 I spent the weekend renovating my house, so work stopped for that. But I'm now in my newly painted and installed room, so I'm back on it tonight. I'm still working my way through removing a lot of the future workers, because they bloat the data and provide a bucket load of extra work. So that should speed things up. If I concentrate on the worker data rather than the images I can get a BETA out in the next couple of weeks and let people test it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP1 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Quick question, which may cast doubt in people's minds about my ability to actually do this. What are the list of stats which need updating from data switched over from 2013 to 2016. I'm not 100% and I don't want to work through the whole database having missed something really obvious like 'worker sexiness' or whatever.

TsuMirren Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Quick question, which may cast doubt in people's minds about my ability to actually do this. What are the list of stats which need updating from data switched over from 2013 to 2016. I'm not 100% and I don't want to work through the whole database having missed something really obvious like 'worker sexiness' or whatever. Jesus, where to start. I must admit that for 87 I've taken the UK scene and looked over everything. Body Type is obvious, as are production vales etc for Companies and accepted for the Broadcasters. Some I also just can't be bothered looking at, not entirely sure how important respect is though in 87 I don't think you got in the business unless you were respected. Even if not, you just got booked vs Finlay and it soon changed. At the moment salary levels are doing my nut in, so I'm fixing and testing knowing that Joint and All Star may become playable though Orig's BWF may sink no matter what. In essence, so long as testing makes sense and you can back things up you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Boons Ghost Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I have yet to snag the demo for TEW16, but a 'worker sexiness' stat reminds me why I stopped modding for this game. Nothing puts a damper on a love for nostalgia quite like 'drug usage percentages' or 'sexual orientation ratings' for a thousand wrestlers from thirty years ago. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing can ever compare to the original but I'll be happy if we can get something even in the same stratosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP1 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the legendary D. Boon has kindly offered his services for testing. Speaking of which. I've run 10 test datas over the course of 4 years (game time): AWA immediately streaks off to a big lead and starts signing people to written contracts. Eek. Each and every time. Almost all companies get TV details, which isn't a big problem, but does need a cursory look. The WWF seem absolutely dead set on making either Curt Hennig, Afa or Steve Keirn their World Champ. Good news is that they almost always get rid of Backlund in the first year. WCCW always lose all Von Erich's except Kerry and the Freebirds always split up straight away too. Boo!!! Southwestern grows to number 2 behind AWA in the world without question. WWF has never once been higher than #9 overall in any testing. I'll see how the currently running data performs later and then set about editing it slightly to try and get closer to a real life recreation.

TCP1 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Also, I'm still looking for cutting help on the background on page 1. I really need mexico and Japan workers if anyone can help it'll speed this whole process along loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP1 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 https://www.sendspace.com/file/smaxr3 Here's the most up-to-date data for people to test. I've spent 35 hours editing bits and deleting extraneous data and now I need help. Tuck in people and list all problems and I will change as appropriate. I'm going to start editing images ready for the launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocStevens Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 As one of the original architects (but not on the level of D Boon's Ghost as it was HIS master piece) of this WAY back in the day I am pleased to see it still lives on and will be curious to see how it is converted for TEW 16. I think 16 has many features that will allow it to function in a way that it never could before especially with the territory system side of things.

Jaysin Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Is there a problem with the download link? It needs to be zipped or in a rar file or else most anti-virus programs are going to block it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbalcody Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I dont know if its just me but I loaded this mod and it crashed when I tried to start a game something about an invalid database, then re-opening TEW game me a connection error with a folder path pointing to this mod saying it was invalid, then I had to go into the folder and delete the mod to successfully restart the program tried this a few times before i gave up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipshirt Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Couple of things I noticed right off the bat: 1) The NWA World Tag Team Titles weren't touring titles and weren't officially recognized by the NWA as a whole. They were created by MACW and based there. 2) Hulk Hogan is a touch too over in Tri-State. He was known but at this time he hadn't even headlined MSG during his heel run there. Vince Sr. had him challenge Backlund in Philly because he didn't want him to lose at MSG yet. You have him as a B in TS right now so he probably would be closer to a C+ and he'd also be higher in Great Lakes for the AWA too. Maybe around a C+ there too. 3) CWA didn't recognize the NWA World Title in 83. They were using the AWA Champion Nick Bockwinkel against Lawler during this time.

Which resulted in an amazing series of title matches between the two. Bockwinkel was the greatest, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justtxyank Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 1) Don't know how far you are along in pic cutting, but I think you are making a mistake in doing an entirely new pack. Not because it won't look good but because it will burn you out. 2) You mentioned in your testing everyone was jumping on tv. Editing broadcasters is a MUST for the conversion to 16. You need to be setting minimum popularity thresholds, "must cover home" option, etc. Something to consider would be to make any small networks that were local (like your local channel 9 or something) a free to air channel where they don't generate revenue for the promotion. 3) Dealing with the AWA hiring spree should be handled with Verne's business profile being altered and with the AWA having some hiring rules. I love DOTT so I hope this turns out great. It's a daunting task and you really need to be committed to spending a ton of time working on it as the new features really do wonders for DOTT. You need to be sure to edit: Based in (setting up local areas) Broadcaster settings Future broadcaster changes The Alliance feature Accurate title histories On the NWA, don't make the mistake of thinking that all "NWA" titles were actually NWA titles. The NWA only sanctioned and recognized a handful of titles. Most "NWA" titles were actually owned by the promotion that booked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stennick Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 On the NWA, don't make the mistake of thinking that all "NWA" titles were actually NWA titles. The NWA only sanctioned and recognized a handful of titles. Most "NWA" titles were actually owned by the promotion that booked them. The National Wrestling Alliance didn't even recognize a World TAG TEAM Champions until 1982, while various NWA territories promoted their own "World Tag Team Championships". Most people don't realize that very very few titles were actually promoted as NWA titles. Now for the purpose of this mod being in 83 the Tag Titles would get included but still every promotion had "NWA Championships" that never left that promotion.

Officially I think the NWA doesn't recognize the tag team title reigns prior to Terry Gordy and Steve Williams in 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
