That 70's Mod(CornellVerse): Hype

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Quick progress update for the last couple of days-

 

A lot of gimmick ratings on contracts were set to legendary, so I used mass edit to set them all to random. I will be setting a few back to high or low settings as I go through and do momentum, which will have to be set up individually. Going to take a little time but the new editor saves a lot of time in other ways, hopefully it shouldn't be too bad.

 

Looked into the de-age function for possibly replacing all new workers in one fell swoop, decided it would make things too wonky. Going to keep going through and fixing minor details such as masks, body type, personality, that have been garbled through years of translation. Also adding young pictures and agers for anyone in the folder with that. This section also takes time and I'm horribly unorganized, so collecting all the mistakes that still exist here will probably be one of the things I ask of the testers first.

 

I've updated Company product settings:

 

AAFW: Classic Southern Wrasslin'

AICW: Golden Age Pro Wrestling

APWF: Classic Balanced*

CCW: Classic Balanced

CPW: Fast and Furious

CWB: Silver Era Pro Wrestling

FAG: Skit Based

HWA: Stoner Hardcore

SWF: Classic Sports Entertainment

TWL: Classic Wild West*

WIW: Respectful Wrestling

*These two are different from their C'Verse settings, APWF is obviously going off the rails and if TWL isn't classic Wild West, what is? Also, this brings a nice diversity to the products.

 

I'm also looking to add a tiny sized Bar Room Entertainment promotion to the North West to migrate some of the CPW roster over as they don't quite fit the promotion style anymore.

 

CICW: Family Friendly Pro Wrestling

CWF: Golden Age Pro Wrestling

 

MPWF: Classic Lucha Libre

OLLIE: Historic Lucha Libre (but with Classic set as core so it drifts towards it)

 

RWA: Pseudo Sport

 

Thinking of adding a second promotion to the UK, a small Catch Wrestling promotion. Knowing very little about the UK scene, I could definitely use some help here.

 

BHOTWG: Classic Mainstream Puro

GCG: Wrestling as a Sport

JWW: Wrestling as a Sport

QUEST: Royal Puroresu

TC3: Strong Puroresu

YPWW: Classic Balanced

 

WBW: Golden Age Pro Wrestling

 

I've started working company by company on the momentum/gimmick rating in contracts, personalities, adding to the roster, fixing title histories. AICW is done, I brought in a champion to make them a little more interesting to play as and beefed out both the regular and women's divisions, some free agents, a couple newly created characters. Hoping to get 3-4 of these done a day, while still hitting the picture folder and future workers. Still putting in good work!

Perfect mod name. Can't wait!

That's how you do it, mention it in the other awesome historical thread (Derek's), and it shall come to pass.

 

About time the slacker got back to work. Mr. T said "Get back to work fool!"

I hope my joke didn't run MTJTM away....

[Howie041]

Yes!!! I've been waiting for an updated That 70s mod for along time. Any plans to take advantage of the territory system and add a Cornell verse version of the NWA?

[ShibataHeadbutt]

I do. I might be able to get it to you tomorrow. Not on laptop atm

 

if possible, can i grab it too, i would keep me going until tew 2020 gets a full release, those 2 months are killing me game time

 

thank you very much

[ShibataHeadbutt]

also can't wait for this, my two favourite mods are this and 2005 mod

[djthefunkchris]

Am I that sensitive!? just keeping hard at work!

 

It looks like company sizes have beefed expected rosters up for most of the US promotions (SWF will be a large medium, rest of the territories will check in at a small medium), so I’ve started to make a few new characters for the database and beef up the rosters some, as well as get rid of a couple illogical sharing situations. It’s going well so far, but obviously not as quick as I was thinking. AAFW is all set up save for some cosmetic touches and a redo of the promotion blurb, AICW the same, and SWF is probably half done. Also still fixing future workers, setting attributes, working through the picture file.

 

I’ll probably give my testers a copy of the data soon... hoping to get SWF filled out first, and CPW’s roster divvied up. I have a good idea for what I want the North West promotion to be as well so I’ll set up that framework and see how it plays at that point. I will be broadening my horizons to the rest of the current world after I get the US touched up.

 

That’s it for now, if there was something consistently wrong with the way old data feel free to mention it and I’ll see about cleaning it up too.

Sounds wonderful!

Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my GOD!!

 

EDIT :

 

[SpiceDawg]

Maybe I missed it, but is the start date 1975 or 1977? My preference would be 1975, because isn't that right around when SWF launches? It would be kind of fun to build the powerhouse right from the start. Not that 1977 is that far along. I know it has been talked to death in the 1997 mod, but is there any plans to beef up the amount of women in CV at all with this mod? I always like to try to launch a women's division in SWF, and i think, they already have Dixie Diamond on the roster at this point.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Start date is going to be 1977 and there is an Alliance set up for the territories. It's protective and trading, and all 5 promotions will be at war with SWF. Going to have had some jumps and roster moves from the last data, but not going to move ahead from January, just work them in chronologically as late 1976 moves.

 

I think Dixie was split between SWF and CPW and I removed her SWF contract to keep her with CPW, as their women's division is expanding and the overall number of women will be too. AICW already had a few new females created to beef up their division and CPW and CWF will as well.

[Capelli King]

Nice one! This is one of my most anticipated ones for sure.

[Morti]

Ahh! I am feeling so impatient in anticipation Any status update?

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Progress Update: Don't know what got into me this week that I just wanted to focus on future workers from the default data, but I did a lot of work on switching up styles, adding attributes, importing workers that were new and then de-aging them, and fixing things that were way out of whack (some people I must have forgotten to modify their popularity and such).

 

I wasted a lot of time switching back and forth between editors before discovering the major expansion of the search functions in game. The better method for changing so many people is definitely searching each attribute, recording who has it (smartphone pic from here on out, had enough typing and writing), and going through the main database and mass editing. Got through a few personality traits as I'm mostly just going through the ones with fewer people for now. When it comes down to someone being Stalwart or Professional though, I doubt I'm going to get that far in to making sure everyone is perfect.

 

I'm heading out of town for 2 days tomorrow so I've reached out to the testers to send the data their way for a look. All 3 guys are definitely board vets who know what's what with the series so their feedback will certainly help. One of the old crew reached out about doing some pictures again, which I'm extremely stoked about, gave them a few of the new characters and can't wait to see how they turn out.

 

Going to try to get CPW divvied up before I send the data, have a pretty fun idea for the promotion in the North West and I might try to set up the framework on that as well.

 

How would people feel about setting Australia up with enough workers for a barebones game down there? They only have like 3 workers there now, but I got a good idea from the Celt (who definitely knows his 70's wrestling) to set up a now-closed Australian promotion similar to the original WCW that was based there from '60-78. As he pointed out, it could give some backstory to current vets who could plausibly have come in for some shows and a reason for some wrestlers to be there with talent and experience to start with.

That would be a great idea.

[Kamchatka]

Any chance FAG can get a rebrand to something uhh.. not that?

I can understand that. Maybe Flint Tropics Wrestling Association -- FTWA or just Flint Tropics Wrestling -- FTW

[djthefunkchris]

Yeah, I often hit a link to the original WCW when looking up 90's WCW. That would tie in perfectly probably.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Yeah, Flint Athletic should probably change more than even just a name, I did enjoy Semi-Pro but an entire promotion devoted to it is pretty excessive. I like the renders and characters though, I'm thinking of just having their first show end in a Dewey the Bear-related tragedy and setting it as closed, then keep some of those guys in the data to bolster the indies.

That would be fine.

I agree with this setup as someone who loves playing in the cv77 world I can't wait.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Bad Update: Had some trouble buying the retail game today. I thought it might have been the bootleg copy of Windows 7 I was running so I bought and installed windows 10 but after it installed, a lot of my stuff went tits up and the problem wasn't fixed. Hoping to get my brother's help to fix the main computer over the weekend.

 

For now I've got the retail version on a backup computer which I am now on, I don't want to lose a week and a half's work but I'll be creating new characters and doing what I can until I at least get the most recent file from main computer.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Alright, got the most recent data onto the old computer, running a 2 year sim to check stuff out, then database work will resume full speed tonight.
