<p>Hey all,</p><p> </p><p>

So I'm getting a lot of pictureless randoms in my game. Is there a way to stop this or fix this? I feel like there's an easy fix that I'm missing. Thank you in advance for any help!</p><p> </p><p>

Unless you also throw in all the pictures from the default database.

Roger, they are. No worries then. I can stand'em.

<p>Thank you for adding Skandor Akbar with the last update!</p><p> </p><p>

New minor issue, though. You might have to tweak a character in the game. </p><p> </p><p>

Tried to sign Moolah to a dev trainer contract. Character declines as something that doesn't appeal to them.</p><p> </p><p>

I don't know about the hours/name/operation schedule of her school, but Moolah had her own school. Add to this that for a good number of decades, she was one of the, for the most part, sole women's bookers/trainers in the USA. So this doesn't seem right.</p><p> </p><p>

Also, you deserve to be stretched. No Mae Young in the database. Shame, sir. Shame. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

EDIT: Also, Homicide comments about his "declining abilities" when attempting signing to a written contract at game start (age: 17). Bit of an error there I believe. Unless there's something I'm not figuring?</p>

[Hive]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it all.

If anyone's interested, justtxyank and I are doing a <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2191815#post2191815" rel="external nofollow">multiplayer diary</a> with this mod - and he's currently kicking my ass... <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

<p>Shouldn't WCW Worldwide be an active show on air?</p><p>

I mean, it did go un-interrupted on TV from 1975 to 2001...</p>

[Hive]

Shouldn't WCW Worldwide be an active show on air?

I mean, it did go un-interrupted on TV from 1975 to 2001...

 

For gameplay reasons, I left it - and other B-shows - out. I find it a drag to book too many B-shows and as such, I as a rule of thumb won't include more than 1 B-show per A-show.

 

If I were to go the 100 % accurate TV show route, WWF would have the following shows in addition to RAW:

All American Wrestling (1983–1994)

Wrestling Spotlight (1986–1995)

Superstars of Wrestling (1986–2001)

Wrestling Challenge (1986–1995)

Mania (1993–1996)

Action Zone (1994–1996)

Sunday Night Slam (1994–1995)

 

I hope you will forgive me for straying from reality on this issue and understand why I do so.

[Gungner]

<p>Yeah, I forgot about WWF's over-abundance of tv-shows...</p><p>

I completely undestand why it's done the way it's done, when you put it like that <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p>

I was just wondering about a few of the shows.</p>

[Beejus]

<p>The way I was playing my "Master Quest" 94 diary, I had the WWF with Raw (1 hour), Superstars (1 hour), Wrestling Challenge (30 mins), and All-American (30 mins). Then WCW had Saturday Night (2 hours), Worldwide (1 hour), Pro (30 mins), and Main Event (30 mins unless PPV pre-show). None of the other shows Hive listed showed matches often enough for me to include them - and Sunday Night Slam shows would be more like special TV events for before a PPV, an idea which eventually became the Free For All. I went with the 30 minutes time for the four shows to simulate how over half the shows were skits, videos, house show promotions, and just general recap, especially All-American and Main Event which are shows that usually featured one or less actual "exclusive" matches for the show and a whole bunch of recap footage. But Superstars and Worldwide each had an hour because they were treated as their own shows, practically independent from what happened on Raw and SN. One could almost argue that (in the way TEW looks at them) they were still A shows at the time, with the other shows as B shows because they were all squashes and recap segments.</p><p> </p><p>

And I can say in most honesty that the reason I did it that way was because I wanted to have All-American so I could change it to Action Zone like it did IRL in October.</p><p> </p><p>

With my new diary, I'm still almost as silly in the head with this stuff, as I still couldn't bear to not add Worldwide and Jakked to the TV schedules <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

And I did think a lot about it. But untill recap shows are (maybe) someday added to TEW, I'll be leaving out shows. Because (at least for me) nothing kills the joy of booking as fast as having too many irrelevant shows forced upon you to book. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

[Gungner]

I'm with you on that one... I like B-shows, as they mean squat for popularity, and thus I can book ET's and openers on the show. But to book 4 of them in a week, in addition to 1 or 2 A-shows? No thanks <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

[Hive]

I should mention though that I added a whole bunch of both WCW and WWF B-shows as inactive shows - so they're super easy to add, should players so desire. Especially now in TEW2016, where getting a new show is easier than ever. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

[Gungner]

<p>WWF are a serious elevator company in my WCW save... </p><p>

The date is now week 2, February 1996. </p><p> </p><p>

WWF has risen to International, fallen to National, risen to International, fallen to National and finally fallen to Cult within the one year and seven months. It's kinda impressive <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

[Hive]

Well that kinda sucks...

[Gungner]

Well, I can't say I'm surprised... Even with the new patch, they very rarely book their main-eventers on TV, so the show grades kinda suck. And their WWF World Heavyweight Champ is... Tatanka!
