Child company title question

 

Is there a way I can bring the champion and the title, up or send down, together without interrupting the title lineage?

[Dross]

Is there a section on body types in the handbook? What is the benefit of persuading someone into chnging from a "Toned" shape to a "Muscular" shape?

I don't think the body types inherently have pluses and minuses, but shifting between them can affect things like SQ, Sex Appeal, possibly Stamina, etc. Not sure of the details.

[stonecold285]

You need to do it in the editor. Either in or out of game.

 

I'm not sure I can follow you.

that has no real bearing other than in multiplayer games. it's just listed by default. Your username is technically whoever your avatar is.

Ohhhh. Yeah, no. It's Player 1 through Player... 8? I think? No way to change that.

[The Nickman]

That has to be a bug, surely?

 

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too.

 

Try it out, start a new game as RAW and just advance a few days. You’ll get a couple of emails saying your house shows are cancelled, but there’s no real way to turn them off that I can find.

OK, thx guys. It was bugging me that my name was Player 1 iso ie stonecold285 or Matt or Billy or whatever.

Now that I know that's not possible, I'm at peace with that

[Blackman]

Can someone tell me where I can see the external working schedule of all my workers combined? I'm 99% sure there was some sort of calendar in TEW16 but I can't find it in the roster screen.

The fact that every company has house shows set up regardless of size is likely a bug, I'd report that if you haven't already.

 

But to turn house shows off, you can unclick all the yellow dates in the schedule on the house show screen. You only run house shows on the yellow dates (that's not entirely obvious from the screen to be fair!).

Events & TV > Availability (bottom left).

[daddytorgo1]

What do you mean by roster usage? The "Be whatever is needed" or the intention of how to use them?

 

Either way, I don't think it is editable.

 

Sorry - I mean I'm playing an SWF game and I decided it would be fun to see what happened if I had Emma Chase fued with Ana Garcia. It's pretty amusing, their heat pretty quickly got up to like 79/80 because they're constantly interacting. So I was thinking it would be fun to have them do a one-off match to end the fued eventually, except they're both under contract as "never involve in-ring." I went into the editor and changed both their profiles so they're occasional wrestlers, but that doesn't allow me to put them in the ring because of their contracts.

 

I guess I can cheat around it by just editing their contracts to end, signing them to new "whatever is needed" ones, and then resetting the $$ and length if they're crazy.

[D-Lyrium]

Not in front of the game right now so I can't try it, but go to their personal details screen (click the yellow text, or click their perception or morale), will it let you tick the "occasional wrestler" box now that you've enabled it in the editor?

Nope. Gives you a popup about how she's only contracted for out-of-ring work and can't be a wrestler.

 

No worries - I can just work my way around it with the editor. I'm just messing around with the new features still and trying to work out how to book strong shows, so I don't feel like I'm cheating.

[pate]

Is there an in-game screen that shows the dates and times of all of the non-wrestling shows (Academy Awards, World Cup, etc)? I know I can view them one at a time in the editor, and can see the ratings of last night's events. But I haven't been able to find a calendar or listing otherwise. If I'm scheduling a show, is there a way to make sure I'm not scheduling against a major event?
