Levinux Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Here is mine for a game i just started. I pretty much can't live without it when playing. I usually feel lost without being able to go back and see what's happened or being able to plan ahead. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CdBlEQjx7p2CrwcX14sa5_iexCja9LzF This is great, thanks for sharing. I may incorporate some of this in mine for future games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ink625 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I've always wished the game itself would track worker performance ratings. The game can already feel like work sometimes as it is, especially if you're doing a dynasty to go along with your save, so it would be great if I didn't have to log the performance ratings myself. I'm sure I read in the journal that TEW 2020 will do so. Yeah, the journal does say the in-ring performance ratings will now be stored. BUT, and that was a big but, it says it will be visible when looking at old match results. Which, while better than nothing, could still be a pain for players to track depending on exactly how it's implemented. I guess we'll know in a little less than a week!

Quintillus89 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I am some what close to completing it. Its taken about 6 months. I have to add the ladies names to it too. All locations are based off population. So for the US towns New York has more entries than a small town. Anything under 10,000 in population doesn't show up. (Except the Pacific Northwest where I reside). It is very formula based so I'd have to figure out how to lock some columns down. If you ever do make this public id download to use. I create my own database companies/stories ect. The hardest part is coming up with names. This would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codey_v2 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I mainly use excel to book tournaments. It's really useful for keeping round robin tournaments organized and on track, and I can easily see what matches I've booked and what the results were. Traditional tournaments I just pen and paper or, if they're small enough that I only need to really see the first round competitors, notepad.

danyp92 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hoping someone can help me. I want to keep track of the relations between my characters, but i don't want it to be a pain to search every single time. What i would to do it's to select one character and being able to see all of his relations or\and select the two characters and see their relationship. Can someone tell me if this is possible to do in excell (even if i'm using LibreOffice Calc ) ? And if yes, how? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pens66 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I usually set up something like this to keep track of my roster: push, strengths, storylines, tag teams, injuries, managers, debuts, turns etc. Then I have a seperate file to write down show reports and ideas and to plan ahead for the upcoming shows.

sagittary Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I pretty much do what most people do and condense things down into the most important commonly used info, particular info that the game doesn't track for you. So like name, face/heel, gimmick rating, and various markers like young female appeal, scripted/improv ability, etc. Those will also have some kind of symbol or formatting to provide additional ability such as marking face/heel with something to denote that they're best as a face and so I shouldn't turn them in most situations. I may also add markers for other reasons like marking people that I've only hired to job out or that they're currently injured. I do have a handful relevant/most important stats for my promotion (Sex Appeal for instance with a risque thing) and make a note of standout stats/stat modifiers, but in general, I tend to condense most stat info eg X is unsafe or needs development. Generally, I also setup a means to sort characters by some kind of ranking, whether it's age or company ranking. Usually it's an option. Everything generally fits into one line and one screen width. Pretty much everything else is referenced so infrequently or in very specific contexts that I don't need it at short notice 90% of the time when company managing or booking. One thing I did spent a lot more time on is a narrative generator. Since narratives are one of the few things that don't change and don't get generated, I set up a sheet to generate narrative outlines/guidelines such as "The 5th worker starting with the letter B in Europe sees a 1 intensity pop boost." or "A new venue opened in Australia" or "The economy in the US/Worldwide changes by X" or "A worker gets created in Japan". I'll usually poke it at the start of every month and have it determine if something happens and if so, at what point in the month and what it is.

Grand Avatar Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 <p>I would normally just figure out where I want to go storyline and match-wise, maybe have a few "big" matches pre-booked down the line, and messily jot down any future plans in the game's notepad.</p><p> </p><p> But booking is the one area I can say 2020 definintely outshines 2016 so far. I love the intricateness and layers around putting together matches in this game, so I might branch out and use a seperate program for planning in the future.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjuww Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I mainly use Excel to record proper title lineages and history as the title record screen lacks sufficient data records for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gord Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I feel like we get one of these threads every few months. I keep a pretty detailed one myself. One tab keeps track of my roster -- color coded by push/perception and disposition -- then I have tabs for each feud I have going. There are three tabs: the type of angle it is, what is going on in the angle (I can get detailed on these) and what show it's on (STV 1-Aug or UPR 4-Oct). Another tab keeps track of my show ratings and company pop level week by week, then another has each worker's popularity month by month, with how much they've risen or fallen. Then there are notes all over to keep track of potential hires, ones listed as 'hot property' in the news section, names of workers' finishers, etc... I'm interested in connecting it with an exported database file, but I don't have the time to figure that out right now. It would save me a lot of typing though. It's a jumbled mess but it works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailerparkjesus81 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 this is what i used in my last 2016 save https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZBuoRpjS2-5Tas9YV1irSbc4FZakXVx- Really digging this -- but I'm curious about the formula you're using at the bottom of the "time" column for each show/PPV. =COUNTIF(A3:A12, "Match")*2 + SUM(C3:C12) Can you give some insight into the thought process behind this? Wouldn't you just want to track the total length of the event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeeinky728 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Mine I do in pages.
