[RELEASE] Shifting Sands


Recommended Posts

<p>Sounds pretty good. </p><p> </p><p>

After doing a quick research I also find these ones interesting, albeit I don't know if there's much info about them: NWA Quebec Pro Wrestling ; NWA No Limits Wrestling ; NWA Southwest </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Or maybe you can set up a debuting company like Championship Wrestling From Hollywood? Altho I'm not sure if with TNA pulling the alliance continues.</p>

I am pretty sure that Jeff Jarrett beat Raven for the NWA title at a BCW show around this time. Maybe add that? The NWA was definitely licensing the name out around that time, so some local affiliates would work, but may require a little reseach

 

There's a storyline following it up in the mod:

 

"Removing Raven's Nest"

 

"On September 15, Raven lost the NWA title to Jeff Jarrett in Oldcastle, Ontario, Canada, at a special event of Border City Wrestling when America's Most Wanted came out and interfered on Jarrett's behalf. BCW officials immediately contacted TNA Director of Authority Larry Zbyszko, who declared the title change official. With Raven promising Zbyszko hell for "robbing" him of the title, Zbyszko responded by telling Raven to resign from TNA or have his life "made hell". Can Raven survive?"

<p>Another minor tweak - this one is a must change - I was running a show at the Pepsi Center in Denver Colorado and a promo by one of the US's great talkers got a 48 because of language problems. A check shows that no one in Denver can speak any languages - so a tweak to Lots and it was fixed. </p><p> </p><p>

Loving the mod man - it's taken over a year of solid graft but I am not so far from National now with the draft fed. Of course that draft fed is at this point loaded not so much for bear but more for every bear that has ever lived. The secret of the mod is to channel your inner Ted Turner and spend money buying talent at an alarming rate.</p>

Three more possibilities, but they interest me less to be honest. Championship Wrestling from Hollywood is a good shout but like you, I don't know if this would stop the Alliance from closing.

I think that was more down to the relationship between TNA and BCW rather than that NWA having any real say on it. If there weren't any NWA affiliates that interested me then this is probably the route I would take, but as there are one or two that I could possibly add I think I'll just stick to actual NWA affiliates.

Another thing that I noticed: there aren't any Mexican dojos.

No, unfortunately not as even Último Dragón kept training in Japan even after leaving Dragon Gate. You could make an argument for CMLL having a dojo but they've never really been an official training centre; they've kind of just signed people and had their veterans train them up on the go. With dojo's becoming more of a thing in TEW2020, I may revisit it then to see who I can find in Mexico who actually opened such facilities.

Minor thing - I noticed that one of Benoit's lifestyle issues is set too low. He doesn't have issues for Pain Killer abuse and that's not right and those issues were the ones that were evident as of 06.

You're correct. I think it must have been something I missed when updating my data from TEW13 to TEW16 as the former didn't have a Pain Killer option. This is now fixed.

Another minor tweak - this one is a must change - I was running a show at the Pepsi Center in Denver Colorado and a promo by one of the US's great talkers got a 48 because of language problems. A check shows that no one in Denver can speak any languages - so a tweak to Lots and it was fixed.

Yeah, a simple mistake but one that can have a big effect so thanks for noticing, and it's now fixed. Glad you're enjoying the modification. :)

sorry i have to ask. do you take requests?

I sure do. ;)

This looks awesome man! I've been looking for a mod to get me back into the game and it just might be this one <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I could literally add 100s of promotions because there are so many to choose from who all had significant pull at this time but I try to limit myself as much as possible. With the add of a host of joshi puroresu promotions and then one/two NWA affiliates, I think I'm going to be pretty much done... although I may visit Australia. I don't want it to become bloated so places like Japan where there is already good competition is probably going to be left alone. </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="soxfan93" data-cite="soxfan93" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45924" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I'm now envisioning NWA: Straight Outta Compton as a small branch of the Alliance.

I don't know what y'all think, but I've actually been thinking about holding off on another update for TEW16 as otherwise - apart from the stuff that's going to have to be updated for TEW20 - there won't be much difference between the two versions. I'd much rather people go into Shifting Sands on TEW20 thinking it's entirely different and new but maybe that's just me? xD</p><p> </p><p> P.S. - The skin has been put on hold due to TEW20 working under different dimensions. In previous years I would have probably continued and just edited it to the new layout of buttons but as TEW20 is going to be something completely different, I think it's probably better I just wait and then revisit it.</p>

<p>Great that you are adding more women - I've been playing with my draft fed for about a month now and was forced to turn on the worker generation to get the Moolah's and Mae's back in the game just to keep women populated in the mod. </p><p> </p><p>

I don't think Kana is in and she debuted 2004, Cat Power is 2006, Irena Janjic (aka Leah West now Alex Lee) is often incorrectly listed as debuting in 2010 but that's when she went to Lance Storm in Canada. She had been on the Ric Flair/Hulk Hogan tour in Australasia in 2009 and actually started earlier around late 2007 in low level indy training. Kellie Skater debuts Feb 07</p><p> </p><p>

Robbie Eagles was training at the time of the mod starting and debuts March 08</p><p> </p><p>

Its been a blast to play and I've booked almost 2 years which is way longer than most games I've played. Sums up how good it is - thanks for your efforts Mammoth</p>

It's official founders are WWE and Steve Keirn as WWE owned the rights to the FCW/CWF name and tape library.</div></blockquote><p> Yeah, I understand this and it's actually mentioned in FCW's description but what I mean is it was in the same vein as a traditional developmental company whereas NXT and NXT UK are more like brands as WWE don't even try to hide the fact they own it. If I was making a current day moderation, I'd add both NXT's as promotions and find some other way to simulate how they work but adding them in historical modifications is far more difficult because - as I said - you can't add relationships to yet to open companies. In my head, I can just about get 'round FCW because it could just so happen that Steve Keirn set out on his own in this alternate universe. If things change in TEW20, I'll certainly revisit it and even add a narrative for FCW becoming NXT.</p>

Kana and Robbie Eagles were already on my to-do list, and now they've been joined by Cat Power, Leah West and Kellie Skater. I'm really glad you're enjoying it so much, and I'm really looking forward to hearing peoples thoughts on the update whenever it comes around because it's gonna be a really big update which basically transforms the modification - hopefully in a good way since so many people are loving it as it is. xD

This is the news I was looking for! Was very impressed when I downloaded the mod but as a huge joshi fan, those were the first wrestlers I went looking for. Very excited to see them coming into the mod!

I'm glad you're excited; joshi puroresu has always been something I respect and I try to instil it in every modification I make. There's still some way to go, but I don't think you'll be disappointed. ;) As always, you're free to request workers you'd like to see added and as long as they're not already on my to-do list and/or there's enough information out there on them, they'll definitely be added.

As good as this mod already is, there are places it still feels extremely lacking. I know that I, and I'm sure most everyone, appreciate the work you've put into it but we've still got at least a year, if not more before TEW 20 comes out. I feel like people won't mind their not being much of a difference between the two because the game upgrade will be enough to change the game world.</p>
