[RELEASE] Death of the Territories

[TCP1]

Hi all,

 

No point dragging my feet, plus I want to get stuck into a dynasty now. So here it all is:

 

Data: http://www.mediafire.com/download/69mbi1ssuar944f/DoTT_Data.rar

 

Pics (Install these pics first): http://www.mediafire.com/download/m4.../1983_Pics.zip

 

Pics 2 (Install these after the 'Pics' and overwrite the images: http://www.mediafire.com/download/guc6g44wrr1twid/People.rar

 

Logos: http://www.mediafire.com/download/zvgu085enylu8un/Logos.rar

 

Any problems please let me know, but for now I'm off to start actually playing the game properly.

 

Have at you.

[Genadi]

I'll try to play at least a few months worth this week. The title alone brought a smile to my face, great to see DOTT getting some love again

[Olback]

looks cool, was always one of my favourite mods

[Woodsmeister]

Wow well done everyone involved that was really fast

 

Will download this at some point but snowed under with work, house move etc

[kdcastles]

The first link to pictures is not working. Says that the file has be deleted.

[Beejus]

Awesome stuff! I remember having played both DOTT and your 1993 mod (and even some of your 2006) a ton back in TEW05. And for this to be released so fast after the release of the game is mighty impressive in itself. So I definitely look forward to trying this one out some!

[Beejus]

<p>Looking over the data, and here's some minor things I've run upon.</p><p>

In narratives: Vince McMahon should probably be listed as required for the Black Saturday narratives, Andre listed in his movie narrative (maybe a pop boost too?) and there's a typo in the Badstreet Band narrative.</p><p> </p><p>

As kdcastles said, the first pic pack link isn't working.</p><p> </p><p>

Some of the matches are set up to appear in results right while others are awkward. i.e. "1 vs 1 Badstreet Brawl" should really only look like that in the record name, not the match name. Not a huge deal, but the more obsessive would probably be bothered, lol.</p><p> </p><p>

USA Network, TBS, and TNT (the first three broadcasters I always look over) need their requirements brought down. I can't imagine any of them, especially in the 80s, requiring any licensed music, or HDTV - especially given that HDTV didn't exist yet <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> in my opinion, the only broadcasters who should require any type of licensed music should be ones like ABC, CBS, and TNN. TNN because the WWF did use some licensed music when they were on that channel (plus it holds up to the history of them forcing ECW to up their production values) and the other two because that makes it even harder to get wrestling on those channels.</p><p> </p><p>

So this is an idea that I kinda pitch to all of the pre-WCW 80s mods. It usually is set up that if Ted Turner is available, WCW opens. But to have WCW already set up in a mod, means that if the player wants to recreate the MACW>JCP>NWA>WCW route, they can't because the WCW initials are already taken. So how about putting the potential future Turner company in as Universal Wrestling Corporation? I would imagine that if Ted were unable to buy out Crockett, he would have still opened at least that up.</p><p> </p><p>

That's all I'll pick at you for now, will let you know if I run into anything else.</p>

[Colby]

<p>Wow! Awesome! Thanks for the hard work turning this thing around to be playable on '16 so quick! Looking forward to starting up a real-world inspired game later today.</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks again TCP1! If I notice anything I'll post it along with some save notes.</p>

[Peria]

<p>I'll give this a shot for sure once the first pic pack is working.</p><p> </p><p>

Great work on the quick and speedy mod process though.</p>

[The_Monk]

the first pics link don't work?

[JHawk]

The link to the first pic pack apparently doesn't exist

[TCP1]

Eek, sorry about the pic pack. I was using the one from War to Settle the Score mod, but it appears to be gone and I didn't save it.

 

Anyone else got a backup by any chance?

Arnold Skaaland's starting gimmick is set to "on the fence lesbian". :-D Old school manager might work better.

[edapes]

The data file is not downloading for me.

[LordofGustav]

Also, i've tested this mod and i think you're going to have to streamline the natural growth of television broadcasters like TBS or USA Network, because they can't be regional forever.

[Crychon]

Looking forward to checking this out!

I'm enjoying this so much I had to start a dynasty with Mid South, I love this data, even though it's way before my time . Thank you for the hard work.

[WCGreyghost]

I can't open the data file. I downloaded a program called "Free Viewer" to open the file, but got an error message saying the file wasn't there....

[TNAfan123]

I haven't played TEW in awhile but after I tried the trail this has sold me on buying it!

[EnforcerM]

This is bloody fantastic! Excellent job, my good man. Now I'll add my two cents.

 

I concur on the broadcasters needing changed, with associated broadcaster changes scripted for later down the line. I already did this for my personal game if anyone wants me to list my changes here in this thread for their use (or if TCP1 wants to use my changes). Just say the word and I'll list my changes.

 

Some chemistry is missing, such as the teaming chemistry of the Andersons (Gene/Lars, Gene/Ole, Ole/Arn) as well as the team chemistry Arn has with Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard. I also believe Hulk Hogan/Randy Savage should have Great chemistry, being one of the highest drawing combinations in all of wrestling historically. Also missing are Savage/Steamboat and Savage/Flair, and lastly Flair/Sting.

 

As for things missing, I noticed that Rob Van Dam is the only major ECW star not included in the data.

 

Lastly, small nitpicks, but I believe Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, and Randy Savage should be set to Excellent potential (currently Random). There are other potentials I prefer, but these are the ones that stand out to me. I also set Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart to Excellent potential, but did not look before doing it (used the Mass Edit feature) so they might have already had it.

 

As for current generation people you said you removed to clean up the database, perhaps a select few bigger names of recent years should be put back in to build longer games around so you don't rely only on randoms. For this list, maybe keep it to 10-30 tops, and include the best and brightest like AJ Styles, CM Punk, Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan, Austin Aries, Dolph Ziggler, John Cena, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, Samoa Joe, Charlotte Flair (can't forget the ladies), Sasha Banks, Kevin Owens/Kevin Steen, Tyler Black/Seth Rollins, Jon Moxley/Dean Ambrose, and Claudio Castagnoli/Cesaro. I would include at least those 15, but that is my humble opinion.

 

I hope this post has been helpful. I will thoroughly enjoy this mod and this game. Cheers, all!

 

P.S. For modern workers, in addition to those 15, perhaps also include a single prominent person who made a debut each year from 2000 on, again for longer games. That would give the core 30 I spoke of and set a solid foundation for games that run a long time.

[TCP1]

All great suggestions my friends.

 

I'm not sure when I'll get round to edits as I'm now obsessed with playing the game itself and running a diary. So if anyone wants to pick up where I left off that's cool. Otherwise, I'll get to it at some point.

[Dawsintron]

The pics pack is down can you reup?
