WMMA5 Small Questions Thread

[daddy_shelton]

Who do I contact to recover my license for a game? The hard drive my copy of WMMA5 was on bit it pretty hard and I need to reinstall on a drive of the computer that wokrs.

See the Technical Support forum, there's a FAQ dedicated to licensing.

Crisis averted actually. Out of sheer curiosity, I decided to see if reinstalling WMMA5 on the computer would work since my appdata, program files, and whatnot are on a different drive than the one that crashed. Lo and behold, it's running fine. I guess the license file isn't kept with the standard install directory.

 

...Or I just got incredibly lucky. Either way, counting my blessings.

<p>quick question: modding: can i set up future cards, so that when you begin the game there are future scheduled events? you start off as say ONE and you see UFC 230 is ready to go in a week.</p><p> </p><p>

if so, how do i set it up? cuz right now it's telling me i got critical errors: "shows that havent happend yet are in the database."</p>

[Adam Ryland]

You can't: that's what the message you're receiving is telling you.

<p>Hi,</p><p> </p><p>

I haven't been around here for a while. And since I'm still occasionally playing WMMA 3 I wanted to ask about some weaknesses back then and if WMMA 5 has progressed since then. ;-)</p><p> </p><p>

1. How good is the artificial intelligence of the competing promotions? In #3 they barely brought me any refreshing uncomfort as soon as I raised to National. ;-)</p><p> </p><p>

2. My last long-term game ended when I couldn't advance beyond (I think) 2030. Which was sad, because I had a cool new generation going. - Is it possible to Play #5 to "infinity"?</p><p> </p><p>

3. The HoF was imo always limited to the pre-destined original star fighters of the game. I had a lot of regen-legends, who even surpassed the Murilho-generation, but was never included. Is this changed?</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks for your time!</p><p> </p><p>

My compliments. After all those years the game still is fun to play. =)</p>

Roughly when will a company be willing to sell after falling in debt? I editted GAMMA to negative funds so I can buy them out just wondering how long that usually takes

WEFF was about 300 grand in the hole before they finally sold off to me.</p>

Not sure if this is where this question goes, but: Anyone know how to save the large version of fighter headshots from the new designed UFC website? The smaller thumbnail version is available for right click -> saving, but I can't find the blown up version anywhere on the new design

It can be the image itself, or it can be the image as it is shown on a web page. Press the "PrtScr" button at the top of your keyboard. It should be located next to the F12 button. This will cause your computer to save the screenshot of the screen you are currently looking at. You can then open Windows Paint and paste the image to Windows Paint. Crop the image to your liking. Save.</p><p> </p><p> JGA</p>

They don't use pure headshots anymore, apparently. It's a dynamic frame. Looks like they kinda went lower quality with the site, probably to optimize it for mobile devices. I don't like it that much, apart from the improved matchup screen (with actual stats).

[Blackman]

In the end it’s only 300x you need. The new fullbodies are sufficient enough for good quality.

EDIT - Ignore this. Resolved it, and I was being daft!

<p>Would it be at all worth it for game loading if I were to delete all the women from the default data?</p><p> </p><p>

If I were to delete all women's promotions, women's fighters, women's divisions, and anything in the Eras regarding women, would they ever be created?</p><p> </p><p>

Not misogynistic, just have literally zero interest in WMMA in this game.</p>

<p>My PSU got fried due to a power outage and fried my motherboard and HDD.</p><p> </p><p>

Gonna buy a new computer in a month or two, is there going to be any problem reactivating my game on an entirely different PC? The credit card I used to purchase the e-license when the game came out is no longer valid, but I managed to recover the game folder (and savegames) from my HDD.</p>

I did the exact opposite to test my module and the game progresses much quicker. The effect would be lessened for women, but it'll be noticable. What you need to do, though, is edit the ERA settings exception for women weights to be 0, otherwise the game will spawn them anyway and companies will randomly make weight classes for it.</p>

<p>Is there an easy way to find people who are available to do broadcasting work in my companies area?</p><p> </p><p>

I would have thought they needed to be based in the same region but that's apparently not it.</p>

[red007]

can someone please reupload the zanames mod since the original link seems to not work anymore.

I think there might be a bug with Company takeovers. I have tried to take over every single company with UFC but everyone says either they have no debt or they have debt but not enough to sell. I've even tried set CES MMA budget to -99$m and they still think they dont need to sell. Is this something you've looked into Adam Ryland or is it supposed to not work? My friend haven't managed it either and he's a couple of years in.

[Adam Ryland]

As covered in-game, it's not about how much debt they have, it's <em>how long</em> they've been in debt. Large companies need to be in debt for years before they'd be willing to sell.
