[RELEASE] Shifting Sands

[Mammoth]

any chance i could get some cuts of Devitt from his NJPW run? both pre-bullet club and bullet club era stuff .

 

EDIT: also if you're still taking requests for people to be added may i suggest some future japanese top players like Konosuke Takeshita, Tetsuya Endo, Kento Miyahara, Jake Lee, Naoya Nomura, YOSHI-HASHI(lol) etc. just because im running a long term japanese game hahaha

Your post has just reminded me of your PM too. Sorry about that; I read it when I wasn't on my computer and then totally forgot about it until now. Here:

 

 

And I'm always taking requests, so all names have been added to my "To-Do" list.

[Larrikn]

Thank you! I could give you a list of more indie Japanese guys yet to debut if you wanna fill out the scene more

What I did is combine this mod with a modern day mod(March 2019 at the time) and thus I have all the new guys. It does not take long to do, however you cannot combine every single aspect otherwise it won't be playable. Only two "bad things" I've seen are some duplicate names such as "Low Ki" and "Low-Ki). As you go through your save you'll see a few more but not a whole lot. Just in game edit as well as database edit them as "out of the business" or "deceased". The second thing is that the stats for the guys who debut that are from the modern day save can be a little high at the time, especially the pop. Still fun though

Where are Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks? Are they set for debut or something like that?</p>

How do i know when and where they debut?

 

Cody is set to debut in June of 2006.

The Bucks haven't been added to the mod yet.

[raspymorten]

This is still getting worked on right?

As I've said before, I'm always looking for more names to add to my "To-Do List".

I'm just finishing up an update for Territory Daze and then I'll be turning my attention back to this to try and add more before updating to TEW20.</p>

<p>I may have criticized this mod before, I don't remember, but I've been poking through this mod for the past day or so, and this is such a beautifully put together mod. As far as stats and popularity, it's pretty cynical. But it's so consistently cynical that it's unlike every mod out there. I haven't started a game yet, but I would imagine that it's super rewarding getting good grades, and seeing the workers grow.</p><p> </p><p>

I also LOVE the picture pack.</p>

[DatIsraeliGuy]

<p>I realize I haven't posted in this thread yet, which is a travesty as it is the only mod i play rn.</p><p> </p><p>

I praised it on many discussions, whether in Discord or around these forums, and I can firmly say this is my favorite TEW 2016 mod, overtaking WCW Lives in the process.</p><p>

It is by far one of the most consistent mods I've ever played, it has a clear direction and attribute system and it's just the right amount of challenge, so from a stat making perspective I applaud you.</p><p> </p><p>

I started with a Ring of Honor save where CM Punk never left, but after a few in game months I decided to take TNA too. This is the most fun I've had in this game for a long time, getting good ratings is a challenge and is super rewarding, if I have one criticism is that there are lots of future and indy workers missing (guys like Trent Berreta, Chuck Taylor, AJ Lee, Fenix and Pentagon were big ones for me), but it certainly isn't an issue to import them.</p><p> </p><p>

So thank you, Mammoth, for this brilliant mod.</p>

But if you consistently have to think about what you're booking and why, it's so rewarding and also opens up the battle systems in a whole new way because winning your battles is also just as rewarding. I'm also very happy you like the picture pack because as I'm sure everyone can appreciate, it's probably the most time consuming aspect of the whole thing but I certainly love the fact that it makes Shifting Sands stand out.</p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Evilman" data-cite="Evilman" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45924" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>That is why I am hooked on this.

That honestly means so much to me that you're getting so much enjoyment out of it, especially if you're able to share that enjoyment with the people you love. I'm umming and ahhing about doing another update for TEW16, but I haven't really decided anything yet. Who knows? If I get back into it before Christmas, I might release something in the New Year just before TEW20.

I mean is it cynical or is it just accurate? The sim results seem to bare it out.

[Satyr24]

So I'm playing a TNA game about 2 months into it and I'm noticing something weird

I'm 2nd in the world but IWA (16th), WWC (18th) and NJPW (3rd) all get priorities over me with shared workers and I can't figure out why

I believe worker priorities are determined by company size and prestige. While you may be second in the world, you're most likely still only a regional company being just two months into the game, and probably aren't much more prestigious either. Both IWA and WWC are regional as they're popular in Puerto Rico (as you'd expect) and they're more prestigious as they've been running for many years, and NJPW is cult and - for the same reasons as outlined with IWA and WWC - they're far more prestigious. I'd suggest trying to tie people to exclusive contracts or moving your schedule around if this is effecting your bigger names.

[Larrikn]

Have been testing out PAINT.net by making some cuts for this mod, here's some David Starr for anyone who wants to import him!

Edit: more.

Love this game, play it for years and still learning stuff

I knew size was a factor but didn't realize prestige played a part

which is why I thought it was weird that people were working elsewhere

thank you for clearing that up

I've mentioned it to you in private messages before but just to reiterate; your work has vastly improved and I'd be more than happy to include these pictures in future updates. I'm not saying I will, just that they're of a good enough quality to do so.

No problem. I'm glad I could help.

Good work. The quality is absolutely fine.

also how this mod coming along Mammoth any news on a TEW2020 release?

There is no exact scale, which is why sometimes it varies ever so slightly. I try to get everything above the waist in the picture though so as long as you're doing that, you can't be far off.

 

Sorry, no news on future updates because I've basically given up until TEW20 is released. The way I see it, I'll just be making more work for myself because it gives me more to edit when I transfer everything over and it'll be easier to update everything and then add new stuff directly to TEW20 once I've worked out all the new features.

[johnal881]

Thanks Mammoth, I am working in more Golden Age Era cuts. I use Photoshop.

[TheNewFNShow]

<p>I love the mod but it seems to be missing alot of wrestlers who were already working or would debut within a couple years of the start of the mod. Here's a list of a few big ones I don't see on there. </p><p> </p><p>

Adam Cole</p><p>

Bobby Fish</p><p>

Kyle O'Reilly</p><p>

Matt Jackson</p><p>

Nick Jackson </p><p>

Tama Tonga</p><p>

Tonga Loa</p><p>

Kana(Asuka)</p><p>

Kairi Hojo(Sane)</p>

[D16NJD16]

Anyone bringing this over to 2020?

Adam Cole

Bobby Fish

Kyle O'Reilly

Matt Jackson

Nick Jackson

Tama Tonga

Tonga Loa

Kana(Asuka)

Kairi Hojo(Sane)

All these names are/were already on my infamous "To-Do List" except Kairi Hojo, who is now on it. I'm sure they'll all make an appearance in a future update.

Anyone bringing this over to 2020?

Yours truly. I'm going to be a first day buyer of TEW20 and will undoubtedly spend the first year simply working on converting both Territory Daze and Shifting Sands. Maybe then I'll actually be able to play it myself and begin work on other projects.
