Not sure if bug with mod or base game but I advanced to next show and in that time my champ Randy Couture signed with PRIDE but it never stopped to inform me that an offer has been made.

I just noticed in the help file that companies have Destiny values of their own. Does anybody know if this affects user controlled companies? If so, what specifically is affected? I don't really like the idea of a RNG applying major bonuses or penalties to my whole company forever.

[PDoody]

Anybody else getting a weight warning when loading up a new game? I'm getting it for a sizeable amount of fighters on modern warriors

You have to change it in the mail settings I believe set "Notable Character offered contract by AI" to important and it should stop fast advance for you when it occurs.

If you've converted it yourself, you will get a lot - because WMMA4's weight system is totally different to WMMA5's. There's two separate options in the Mass Edit to address the issue quickly.

No, it doesn't.

[Doclaw]

dumb question. I am not seeing a save button, and I have auto save on, is there a manual save button.

Bottom left hand corner, above the "go back" icon.

[travvers]

Hey Adam, the patch link seems to be unavailable. Anyway you could get that back up?

[WrestleManiac]

I'm trying to add a fight to the card, but no fighters are showing. I can't see any reason why that would be so. I have fighters who should be available. They are not injured, or recovering from their last fight. Am I missing something.

<p>I am having serious trouble installing Tag's MW mod and it is driving me insane.</p><p> </p><p>

I have copied the download to the programfiles/GDS/WMMA5/Databases folder - is this correct? See below what i have done: </p><p> </p><p>

<img alt="help.jpg" data-src="https://image.ibb.co/iSSZOm/help.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Then in the WMMA have i click on the editor then install mod and it says new database has been created and automatically switched to but it says the database is blank?! Everything (companies, fighters etc) shows as 0. </p><p> </p><p>

Please could someone give me any tips where i may have gone wrong? Been struggling with this about an hour and feel like throwing my laptop against a wall!</p>

[mattandbenny]

<p>Last question - I was 6 months into a regular game before i started this MW mod. When i click on load game it only shows this new mod game, not the old game i had started on the other database. </p><p> </p><p>

When i click the 'database' tab on the main screen it only shows this Modern Warriors database. Does this mean i have accidentally deleted the original database and thus lost my original save game?</p><p> </p><p>

I was hoping to sort of alternate days, one day playing the real world mod and another day playing the original database save.</p>

[MightyDavidson]

How exactly do you fail to sign another organization's fighters when the other organization isn't bothering to match the deal you're offering? Who's going to stay with a company that can't be bothered to match the deal the other organization is offering? What kind of doofus believes the contract offer with exponentially more money then the one the other promotion is offering is the worse deal?

[Doclaw]

I am getting error 3022 whenever I try and book a show or advance.

[kemicode]

Honestly can't remember if this was in the handbook but what causes a decrease in popularity? Losses do not necessarily contribute to a decrease, right?

[HaHaHa]

Found the answer, punch power and other stats are relative to size.

[HaHaHa]

New question: Does leaving a fighters potential at 0 randomize it or does it really count as having very little potential?

[Wayne28]

Just wanted to confirm before I go into ERA settings while in game; if I disable generated fighters, this will stop new fighters from coming into the game world unless I generate them? Correct?
