<p>Great job btw.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Tried to download the file in the OP, only had body pictures in there. Am I missing something? Unpacked the RAR in a new folder I created outside of the WMMA5 file. Do I need to unpack the file in WMMA5 file? What if I want to keep a copy of the database I have (renders included)?</p>

<p>Great job as always on the renders!</p><p> </p><p>

I'm playing the db right now but I'm not having as much fun as I should have. The problem (imo) is that the new "soulless" characters (because they lack a profile) debut way too soon and are beating up the top characters from the default db. So by the time I arrived at 2002 the gameworld doesn't look even close to the actual state. I realize that's not the intent of the db, but it's kind of a pity. I'd say it's better if they would debut later on.</p><p> </p><p>

The era settings are also rather untouched and populated characters join right in with god-tier stats. I should've changed it, but I assumed it would be worked on. Want you want is a bunch of cans to give wins to the main characters, not to beat them into unemployment.</p>

Want you want is a bunch of cans to give wins to the main characters, not to beat them into unemployment.

 

Wouldn't that be boring though? Isn't the whole reason for a database like this to effect the outcome so it's unpredictable?

[WMMAA1]

<p>Just a quick one.</p><p>

At what point will the rankings work? I'm mid 1990 and it still says not enough fighters. Thank you</p>

This does not apply to company rankings.</p>

[WMMAA1]

Another (perhaps silly) question for this mod. At what size does a company need to be to be able to sign fighters to exclusive contracts?

I'm thoroughly enjoying watching the unpredictable game unfold. I haven't even joined the game yet. I like seeing some of the default guys succeed (and fail), while seeing which new fighters sneak out into the pack. In my game, I haven't even seen GAMMA or ALPHA show up, so there is no American or Japanese company, and thus both areas are losing fighters to other regions. That's awesome to me. There's no 'soul-less' fighters for me, because everyone has an organic bio. Even the people who aren't rendered, if they are good then I have plenty of unassigned renders to give them.

 

The top five P4P in my game, towards the end of 1993, is:

1. Hassan Fezzik

2. Jim Carpenter

3. Faas Smit

4. Benson Lomas

5. Fernando Amaro
