1997 - Judgement Day


Recommended Posts

Judgement Day

 

This Mod was started in 2019 (I think). It is a followup/re-edit of WECNeverDies most excellent 1997 mod, I just wanted to expand upon it.

 

It starts in March 1997, following UFC 12 and hopefully gives an accurate picture of the MMA world at that point in time.

 

I'm not currently able to access the game (licensing issue) but will hopefully soon. As soon as I do, I will upload a beta version and hopefully some feedback will come back.

 

I'm open to suggestions regarding pic packs, I believe every mod needs one but I am not the person to create it.

 

Judgement Day

 

There was a previous thread with information and discussion here http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=542158

 

There was also an intention of creating a second mod at a later date starting a little later on in the year so people could start with Pride which isn't active in the current Mod. That will depend on how long it takes me to finish the original mod. I dont think that would be too hard to do, but we shall wait and see.

 

Mod Status

I think it's about 75% complete, All that remains is finishing off updating the yet to debut male fighters and then looking at the non fighters (owners, commentators, play by play etc).

 

Release Date - There isn't an official one yet.

Hey man, I have played for like an hour now. Will play some more tommorow. My only concern is that there are too many companies (to my liking). Everything is so hectic with this many companies. Also I am a litle concerned that some of the "odd" weight settings for the smaller companies will prevent them from creating championship belts (I am happy to be wrong about the latter later one). Besides that the mod is looking good.

No, you are right about it being hectic and the Weird weight divisions. I am still torn between Historical Accuracy or possibly improved game play. I do want to take a couple of starting companies out anyway. One from Brazil and maybe a European one?

<p>First of all, you really did do an incredible job adding in the ridiculous amount of pre-game results. I also really appreciate the achievements you added. </p><p> </p><p>

Personally, I prefer mods to have lots of companies. I can understand why others don't though, beyond just the extra load times.</p><p> </p><p>

In the end, I will probably only really end up using this mod to supplement the changes I've already made to OldSchoolMMA's Vale-Tudo to MMA mod. Mostly because I prefer the 1993 start date. I love starting at the dawn of modern MMA and playing for 20+ years. Your additions are greatly appreciated though.</p>

It was literally forever and I'd actually liked to have entered more achievements, but some of them are quite obscure or there wasn't enough detail. </p><p> </p><p> To be honest you could just roll this one back to 1993 quite easily. Delete the pre-results and fight results. Delete the title histories and it would be reasonably ready to go. I'd say about 60% of the fighters have the correct start dates and you would then need to make any changes you felt required. </p><p> </p><p> The reason I am not so keen on lots of companies to start with is because not all of them fill their rosters enough due to the games mechanics. Back then people were fighting for lots of different companies (Dan Severn is a good example) the game doesn't replicate that as well as I would like. So if there are four companies that each have 25% of their rosters filled, none of them really set up fights. If you knock that down to 2 companies, they have a lot more chance of holding regular cards. But it again comes down to the historical accuracy or improved gameplay once again. </p><p> </p><p> Thanks for the comments though.</p>

It's been a long time and it seems I never finished this Mod. At the moment I don't have access to WMMA5 as my license was on an old Laptop but I've emailed and hopefully Greydog can help.

 

I didn't even realise that I still have the edited database to be honest, but I'd like to finish it. Once I get access to the game again, I will look over where I got to and upload it in its current form.

 

Then I'd like to finish it off. Based on the records I had, all debuted fighters (male and female) were complete. However I needed to complete the male fighters yet to debut.

Sounds good! Glad to see you back at it, as I had seen this thread a few years ago and looked forward to the finished product. I'm in the middle of creating a database myself. A fictional one, based off of the default-verse, that takes us back to the mid-1800's-1980's. Grey Dog is really good about taking care of licensing issues, so I'm sure you'll be good to go soon.

Great to see a new mod in progress! Good luck in getting it done :)

 

There is still so much to do. I'd like to create a few more fighters from the early days, and anyone that has appeared in the last couple of years probably aren't in it, so who knows how long it will take to finish. Creating these mods really is a labour of love sometimes. Looking at the results of some of my long term tests it seemed to play well enough. But I'm sure there could be more to improve it.

 

The main thing being a picture pack. I have one, but I think it's used various pictures from various peoples mods over the years. Part of me wants to upload it, but I wouldn't know who to credit after all this time.

Thanks. Hopefully they will be able to sort it soon enough.

 

Good luck with yours too.

def interested and gonna download when I get home, does this have a lot of modern fighters that we see today?

 

I last worked on it in 2019, so while there will be quite a few modern day fighters, I imagine there will be quite a few missing.
