Fleisch Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 The current update is giving me errors with the NWA Florida Junior Heavyweight Title preventing me from starting the game. EDIT: Never mind... just realised you meant the 92 mod. I'll fix that up as I didn't check that as hadn't planned on adding the NWA Florida belts (last minute whim).

FindMyStapler Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 A lot of the women have 0 pop - Sunny, Sable, Kimberly Page, etc.a Also, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Matt Hardy, Michael Cole, Mike Tenay, Stevie Richards, Vince Russo, etc all have 0 pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outb0undflight Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Another thing I just noticed...what's your suggestion on the best way to handle the fact that WCW and New Japan both have a combined Supershow event on the same day, which means inevitably one company just hoards all the talent for that show. As in, if you're running WCW and New Japan is bigger (well, it is as the start) they basically get all the talent. Should we just disable it in the opposite company?

theyungboomer Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 1998 may be my favorite year to book. Only thing that I would adjust would just be some attributes. Very nitpicky. But I think guys like Michael Cole & Scott Taylor should have something other than mercenary for personalities. I think Stone Cold should have the easily marketable thing as well. But like I said that stuff is very minor. Can't wait to get into this save even deeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleisch Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Everything mentioned here will be worked on today (not planned but the weather is rubbish). One thing I would like to mention below - "WWF has PPVs outside of the big 4 and KOTR set as inactive" This is because in 1998 they were still running In Your House Specials (Unforgiven: In Your House) therefore the Unforgiven PPV is dormant and revives in 1999, replacing the IYH event. These are all set as Dormant on purpose as they did not debut until 1999. I figured it would add some immersion. Are the AI not running the specials, is that the issue? If they are not I will change them to annual events that go dormant after they air. Another thing I just noticed...what's your suggestion on the best way to handle the fact that WCW and New Japan both have a combined Supershow event on the same day, which means inevitably one company just hoards all the talent for that show. As in, if you're running WCW and New Japan is bigger (well, it is as the start) they basically get all the talent. Should we just disable it in the opposite company? Just saw this. I am not sure. Is this the 92 mod or 98? If 98 I'll look into it soon, if it is the 92 mod, temporarily disable one for the time being. It might be that there is a work around I can figure out.

Fleisch Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Did a sim up to Week 1 of June and they only ran the Rumble and Mania. The game lists the events as dormant specials despite them being active if I look at them in the editor before starting a game. I think I've spotted what could be causing it. I'm going to try a 6 month sim and see if it fixes it, if not I will set them all as annual events that go dormant by December 98/January 99. ========================================== After running the above test I am going to go through the active workers that have 0 popularity and update them as pretty much everything mentioned in the thread so far (and on Twitter DM's) has been fixed. I will update mentioned stats but not "lots of people need stat updates" comments because that doesn't really help me pinpoint where to focus my attention.

theeaglexiii Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The beta is looking great so far, gonna have to give this a play through when it sees a full release. (I may have to check out Chronicles 92 to keep me busy in the meantime!) I’ve been having a poke around ECW and found some things to keep you busy on this gloomy Saturday afternoon Relationships: - WWF and ECW should both adopt a friendly attitude to each other - ECW should be set to accept developmentals from WWF (there was no talent trading by 98) - WWF and ECW should both have a No Stealing agreement with each other - ECW absolutely loathed WCW, relationship should be hostile both sides - At the end of 97 ECW and FMW started working together. They should both adopt friendly attitude, have talent trading and a no stealing agreement (and should probably have an Alliance set up) - ECW and Michinoku Pro Wrestling should adopt friendly attitude. ECW should have a no stealing agreement. MPro should have a no signing agreement. Roster: - Al Snow is on loan to ECW from WWF but hasn't been assigned a contract with WWF - Doug Furnas was originally loaned to ECW from WWF in 97. I can’t find out for sure, but I assume he is still on loan at this point - Darren Drozdov should be on a 6 month loan to ECW from WWF - Lance Wright should be on a 6 month loan to ECW from WWF - Nicole Bass should be on ECW roster. She made her debut at the start of January and was then sent away for more training so should probably have a 1-2 month starting absence to simulate this - Bill Alfonso needs to be added to the ECW roster - Bill Wiles was part of the ECW roster around this time. He only wrestles sporadically so should be on a very limited short term deal (he makes 3 appearances in 98 from Jan-March if that helps) - Gran Hamada should be on a 1 month loan to ECW from Michinoku Pro - Gran Naniwa should be on a 1 month loan to ECW from Michinoku Pro - Great Sasuke should be on a 1 appearance loan to ECW from Michinoku Pro - Too Cold Scorpio/Flash Funk should be on a 1 appearance loan to ECW from WWF - Tammy Lynn Sytch (as Sunny) should be on the ECW roster, with a handshake agreement, as she was allowed to make appearances when she wasn’t booked for WWF shows - Chastity (Denise Riffle) is not in the database. She should be on the ECW roster as a Manager and Personality Managers not assigned: - Bill Alfonso manages RVD & Sabu - Francine manages Shane Douglas - Joel Gertner manages Buh Buh Ray, D-Von and Big Dick Dudley - Jason Knight manages Justin Credible - Sunny manages Chris Candido - Lance Wright manages Brakus, Doug Furnas and Darren Drozdov Tag Teams to add: - Chris Candido & Lance Storm started as a team in late 97 (Individuals) - RVD & Sabu started teaming in 96 (Individuals, but to be honest you could make a decent case for them to be a Unit at this point in time) - The Sandman & Tommy Dreamer started occasionally teaming in late 96 (Individuals) - Doring/Morrison & Roadkill started as a tag team in late 97 (Unit) - New Jack & Spike Dudley started as a team in late 97 (Individuals) - New Jack & Kronus (as The Gangstanators) started teaming in late 97 (Individuals) - Little Guido & Tracy Smothers (as The FBI) started teaming in early 97 (Unit) - Blue Meanie & Super Nova (as Blue World Order) started teaming in early 97 (Unit) - Chris Chetti & Jerry Lynn start teaming right around now for a few months (Individuals) - Justin Credible & Jason Knight started occasionally teaming in 97 (Individuals) Stables: - The Dudleys: Buh Buh Ray (Member), D-Von (Member), Big Dick (Muscle), Sign Guy (Support), Joel Gertner (Support) - New Jack, Kronus & Spike Dudley are an unnamed Alliance (All members) - Doug Furnas (Member), Brakus (Member or Muscle), Drozdov (Member or Lackey) and Lance Wright (Leader) (I don’t know if they had a name, but I they were doing a WWF invasion gimmick at the time) - Justin Credible’s entourage should be listed as a stable: Justin Credible (Leader), Jason Knight (Fodder or Support), Nicole Bass (Muscle) Personalities, Roles, etc: - Jason Knight should be set to Wrestler, Occasional Wrestler and Manager - Sign Guy Dudley should be set to Manager and Personality (I’d say he’s the latter at this point as he is mute) - Gran Naniwa should be made available to work in USA for his ECW appearances ECW’s Event Schedule for 98 was: - Jan, Sat Wk 1: House Party (Postfix Year) - Jan, Sat Wk 4: Hostile City Showdown (Postfix Year) - Feb, Sat, Wk 3: CyberSlam (Postfix Year) - March, Sun, Wk 1: Living Dangerously (Postfix Year) [PPV] - May Sun Wk 1: Wrestlepalooza (Postfix Year) [PPV] - May, Thurs Wk 2: It Ain’t Seinfeld (Goes dormant after) - May, Sat Wk 2: A Matter of Respect (Postfix Year) - Aug, Sun Wk 1: Heat Wave (Postfix Year) [PPV] - Sept, Sat Wk 3: UltraClash (Postfix Year) - Nov, Sun Wk 1: November to Remember (Postfix Year) [PPV] Following events in the database were not held in ’98: - Guilty As Charged (First held in 99) - Anarchy Rulz (First held in 99) - Barely Legal (Only held in 97) - Hardcore Heaven (Held 94-97, revives again 99-2000) - December to Dismember (Only held in 95) - Market Street Mayhem (Only held 92 when they were Eastern Championship Wrestling) - Good Times Gone Bad (Can’t find any record of this one ever existing) - Bedlam Brawl (Can’t find any record of this one ever existing) If you want any more dormant events, these appeared more than once in previous years: - Holiday Hell (Held 93-96. Revived in 2000) - Ultimate Jeopardy (Held 94, 96-97) - When Worlds Collide (Held 94 and 96) I’ll leave it there for now! I have got a few other things I might post later, including some stuff that could be left to your own discretion depending if you wanna set the company up to be prepped for long term vs short term booking. I might see if I can figure out the ongoing feuds active at the time too if you want them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCW has the WCW Japan Supershow on 1/4 and NJPW has the NJPW Wrestling World show on 1/4 but IRL they were the same show. Maybe setting them to inactive for both companies would work as a solution? That way if you're playing NJPW or WCW you can just reactivate it and run it as normal but the AI probably won't do so on its own. That or just give it to New Japan. It was a more important show for them that it was for WCW who just aired half of its matches on PPV a few months later.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeaglexiii Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 How do you tend to set up workers in regards to their future roles? I noticed Guido is available to referee (think it’s 2010 he refs?), and Taz and Al Snow are available as colour guys. Whereas Heyman is only listed for his role at the time (personality) and isn’t available as a manager or colour. Just so I don’t go listing stuff that doesn’t need to be adjusted if I see any others I’ve been looking into what was going on with Furnas and LaFon at the time. Both are still apparently on loan to ECW from WWF a few months into 98. I think WWF were so unimpressed with them both that they got released upon returning (along with Brakus and Lance Wright) Phil LaFon is the interesting one. Despite being contracted to both companies he doesn’t wrestle again with ECW or WWF after Dec 97. As you mentioned he ends up in CMLL - but not until August 98. Well in November 97 he was arrested after an incident involving himself, a woman he was sticking it to, her husband and some guns. Maybe he’s injured, but it just seems odd that shortly after this he doesn’t wrestle again for either company. Maybe he should have a starting absence?

Maybe he’s injured, but it just seems odd that shortly after this he doesn’t wrestle again for either company. Maybe he should have a starting absence? I need to go through and take them out as being able to work in roles they didn't at the time work as. With regards to Al Snow, Droz, Brakus, Lafon & Furnas, I think I've found a work around to stop them appearing on WWE TV whilst still being under contract. I have given them developmental deals with ECW to stop them appearing for both companies at the same time. They can all be recalled by WWF (tested and works) and no errors appear. They may end up in ECW longer/shorter than they were but it is the best work around for the situation. (ECW don't need to be the child company, they only have to have "accepts developmental" from WWF ticked). It's the best way I can think to do this currently.

theeaglexiii Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 With regards to Al Snow, Droz, Brakus, Lafon & Furnas, I think I've found a work around to stop them appearing on WWE TV whilst still being under contract. I have given them developmental deals with ECW to stop them appearing for both companies at the same time. They can all be recalled by WWF (tested and works) and no errors appear. They may end up in ECW longer/shorter than they were but it is the best work around for the situation. (ECW don't need to be the child company, they only have to have "accepts developmental" from WWF ticked). It's the best way I can think to do this currently. Sounds like a good compromise! Got a few more random bits I’ll leave here in case you want them. Workers: - Jeff Jones should be added to ECW roster as a ref (w/ Heel Ref gimmick) - Pee-Wee Moore should be added to ECW roster as a ref - Al Snow should probably have Flavour of the Month attribute as he was just getting super over in ECW with the Head gimmick at this time - Sabu is married to someone outside the business - RVD gets married in 98 to someone outside the business - Joel Gertner gets married in early 98 to someone outside the business - Justin Credible should have a friendships with Sean Waltman and Scott Hall? Broadcasting: - The next episode of ECW Hardcore TV is #247 Production Values: - Music possibly should be changed to at least Minor Licensed? May be tough to find a balance because they used a mixture of their in house band(s) doing original songs and covers/knock-offs, and using huge tracks like Enter Sandman, Back in Black, etc. IIRC I think Heyman admitted most of the time they didn’t have permission to use the licensed music. So, I dunno, maybe Minor Licensed or Licensed may best replicate that? Ongoing storylines at the time were: - Taz vs Shane Douglas vs Bam Bam Bigelow - Sabu (w/ RVD and Bill Alfonso as support) vs Sandman - Lance Storm vs Chris Candido (w/ Sunny as support) - Justin Credible vs Tommy Dreamer & Mikey Whipwreck - The Dudleys vs New Jack, Spike & Kronus - F.B.I. vs Axl Rotten & Balls Mahoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailthebulldog Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 - Justin Credible should have a friendships with Sean Waltman and Scott Hall? Apparently Credible, Spicolli, and Jeff Jarett were all super close to the Kliq. I would probably put a relationship for all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he still had dark hair and a dark goatee in January 1998 but if you can find a good picture of him with that look I will change his picture (this is why he has the bleached look he was sporting in February 1998). * Need a younger picture for Anthony Kingdom James * Doug Furnas did not wrestle for WWF at all in 98 (he and LaFon were pretty much done with the company late 97 with LaFon going down to CMLL in 98 as Blue Blazer II after ECW). Furnas only appeared for ECW in 98 as part of the WWF Invaders but neither returned to WWF. Below are the pictures and what to save them as so they show up automatically when Version 1 is finally released. New Undertaker picture (save it as The Undertaker_alt3.jpg) New Ted DiBiase picture (save it as Ted DiaBiase_alt.jpg) Added WCW/nWo Spring Stampede logo (save it as WCW nWo Spring Stampede.jpg) I'm very hyped for this.
