Another thing I have success with is changing how many episodes are taped at a time.

 

I don't like the rigid schedule of Tape 4 shows, then do an event and repeat. So, I'll schedule my major events, and just alter how many episodes are taped at a time when necessary.

 

I might start with 4 weeks of tapings, then switch it to 3 for the next set so that I can have 7 episodes lead to the event, instead of forcing 8 or having an event that takes place between airings of taped shows.

This is exactly what I do to get around issues with an event coming up in the middle of a block of pre-taped shows.

Right, I have searched for this everywhere and been unable to find an answer. Hopefully someone can help, even if it is not the answer I want to hear.

 

During a show I create an angle and have the commentary show all of the information that I want to see. Once you have finished the show, is there anyway to see that text again? Or is it not able to be seen afterwards? Because if you look at the show history, it only shows the segment rating and nothing else.

 

If there is no way of viewing this in game, is there anyway to export it from the game?

No. Once the show is run the flavor text is lost. The only way to export it is to copy and paste it out of the game into a word document for yourself.

Thanks Historian. I've gone up 1-2% now, so slow progress even with weekly shows - but it is happening.

 

 

Any idea how long a company needs to be in the red to go bankrupt? I have 2 months ahead of me before I dip into the red. AMW have been in the red since February (it's now September) but they actually turned a four figure profit last month. Even if they crash in the next two months, PPPW have Production Values and Music equal to mine - although they've recently doubled their production costs and trebled their worker costs, so they're running into the red at the same point we are.

 

 

To answer my own question, AMW went bankrupt in November after about 9 months in the red. They were a Small company, and had received financial warnings 8 weeks and 4 weeks before they were declared bankrupt.

 

 

Naturally, I now have XFW who've raised all their production levels to match mine, with music one level above mine. They have 400k in the bank and are turning a profit every month off the back of weekly attendances of 1,200 where I'm hurting from fortnightly 300 attendances.

 

 

I wonder if switching to weekly TV shows would hurt or help? I'll have to check back whether that's going to cost me twice as much in production costs as I know someone set that out a while back.

Does anybody know what happens if your avatar dies or is your avatar ... immortal?

the latter. your avatar is immortal.

For a wrestler that isn't interested in gaining muscle/going up in size at this point in their career, is there anything you can do to convince them otherwise or is that just a personality trait thing? If they say "at this point in my career", does that imply that at a future point they are willing to?

I can say its at least partly random because I try to get many workers to do it (no downside that I can see). Some workers will do it in one save but not another. As a matter of fact I think all of my targets (SWF, not everyone but several) have done it and have rejected it in different saves. Its usually half of them do it (or a little less) and half don't but which ones do are different.

 

I've never gotten far enough to see if they later change their mind but I assume there isn't two separate responses for no reason. If they say "not at this point" I would assume at another point they might be open to it.

Is there a way to run the Freebird Rule with the Tag Belts without manually moving belts? I thought there was in TEW 2020, but I have forgotten how.

I have a worker who will not try and stop his drug use and says ‘I like my lifestyle just fine’. He doesn’t have drugs as permanent on his attributes so it isn’t that. There is nothing which looks remarkable in his attributes or stats that seems to answer why he alone is the person who refuses to try and stop his drug use. I must be missing something.

It would simply be linked to his hidden Destiny number.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask. What happened to the mod index page? I know there were mods in the index I can't find anywhere now. I went to bethebooker.net, and any link I click on doesn't even open anything. Not every mod is on the tewdb website either.

[ShikariFC]

Written contacts, do they stop other companies signing workers to exclusive written?

Every single link on both BeTheBooker and TEWDB that I tried worked.

Angle writer not displaying

 

Seem to be having an issue with the angle writer for angles.

 

Ill have written out what I want the promo to show, but once I start the show and go through each segment, the text box comes up blank for anything I used the angle writer for

Weird. Some on btb work, but most don't. I want to do a pre 90's mod, but can't find one.

If you can replicate the issue, I suggest posting in tech support.

[Historian]

Written contacts, do they stop other companies signing workers to exclusive written?

 

No. But if you have an iron clad clause in the written contract, it means they have to work the entirety of the contract for you before they can go exclusive.

 

It also makes them way less likely to sign exclusive written deals.

[Skallux]

sorry, this has probably been asked before somewhere but I cant find it.

I'm playing with CZCW and soon I can and will start my own developmental company. I know I will have to give them all the "stuff" for it (wrestlers, refs, road agents etc) however, in TEW2016 I know you also had to put down trainers for the developmental company and as far as I know, I only send the people down there. Do the Road Agents also help increase the skills of the younger talents, or do I just not need to put trainers down anymore?
