forlan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 January 1997 – The War Rages On This is a mod I have been working on over the past few weeks on TEW2016 and will be looking to release this for TEW2020. It is initially based on the awesome 1996 data released by BurningHamster so full props to him. At the moment I have no ETA as it is just a spare time project but once it is in a state I am initially happy with I will likely release a beta. I am also open to suggestions about things. Setting the scene WCW is storming the ratings and WWF are finding it a real struggle to build new stars so are looking to take on an edgier product to try and attract a different differential. In real life WWF barely hung on as WCW won the ratings for a full year. What is going on now WCW: The NWO are running roughshod led by Hollywood Hulk Hogan and flanked by The Outsiders. The group is becoming a mammoth group now including referee Nick Patrick and Eric Bischoff. Sting is currently in a difficult place and people are not quite sure which side he is on as he has classified himself as a free agent. He has not actually wrestled since Fall Brawl 1996 after being doubted by best friend Lex Luger. This has seen a metamorphosis of the Sting character with him becoming much more dark and broody and carrying a baseball bat when he does appear. The Giant was only in the NWO for a cup of coffee as he has now turned face for his first ever face run. He has his eyes set on Hogan’s World title. Roddy Piper is in the mix, the Four Horsemen are feuding with the Dungeon of Doom and the cruiserweights are tearing it up… WWF: Shawn Michaels is far and away the top babyface in the company and heading into the Royal Rumble set to be at the Alamodome he is number one contender to the World title. Sycho Sid is the man holding that belt but is receiving a very luke warm reception from the fans. Someone who is not receiving that is Steve Austin. After Ted DiBiase left the former Ringmaster went on to win the King of the Ring and is seen as the number 2 heel in the company showing a much edgier attitude. He is feuding with recently returned Bret Hart. With Austin beginning to get cheered and Hart being more heelish this would in real life lead to the WrestleMania double turn from the two. The company is really struggling at building stars but have a solid undercard talent including Goldust, Marc Mero, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Mankind. Elsewhere there are a number of promotions that could be great to play as including ECW with their first PPV deal on the horizon, although they are fresh off the Mass Transit incident. At the moment this is the list of active in game promotions I am looking at: All Japan Pro-Wrestling All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling All Pro Wrestling All-Star Wrestling Asistencia Asesoria Y Administracion Big Japan Pro-Wrestling Border City Wrestling Catch Wrestling Association Century Wrestling Alliance Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre Continental Wrestling Alliance East Coast Wrestling Association Extreme Championship Wrestling Fighting Investigation Team BattlARTS Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling GAEA Japan IWA Hardcore Wrestling IWA Japan Iwa mid South Jd' Star JWP Project Ladies Legend Pro Wrestling Michinoku Pro-Wrestling Mid American Wrestling Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation National Wrestling Conference New Japan Pro-Wrestling North American All Star Wrestling NWA New Jersey NWA-UK Hammerlock Pro Wrestling America Promo Azteca Social Pro Wrestling Federation Southern States Wrestling Tokyo Pro Wrestling United States Wrestling Association Windy City Pro Wrestling World Championship Wrestling World Wrestling Council World Wrestling Federation Wrestle Association "R" Wrestle Dream Factory Any help or suggestions on products would be great as I am still trying to find my feet with the new game. Progress Report: Alliance Members - 5 Alliances - 2 Angles - 68 - Credit for the pack to Odobenus Announcer Experience - 5 Broadcaster Changes - 172 (Asaemon Broadcaster Pack with personal changes and updates from me) Broadcasters - 746 (Asaemon Broadcaster Pack with personal changes and updates from me) Broadcasting Deals - 23 Chemistry - 31 Companies 127 (42 Active) Company Relationships - 21 Contracts - 1165 EOY Awards - 17 Eras - 4 Events - 113 Excursions - 1 Graduates - 513 Injuries - 345 (the default file) Injury Histories - 0 (look to work on this later) Mask and Hair Histories - 0 (look to work on this later) Match Types - 177 Media Groups - 129 (Asaemon Broadcaster Pack with personal changes and updates from me) Move Sets - 914 Moves - 961 Narratives - 47 Other Tv Shows - 1137 (Ropacm pack) Scandals - 1 Stables - 17 Starting Absences - 1 Starting Injuries - 2 Starting morale - 1 Starting Storylines - 15 Tag Teams - 248 Title Lineages - 3294 Titles - 185 Training Facilities - 52 Tribute shows - 1 TV Shows - 17 Venues and Locations - 1431 Worker relationships - 398 Workers - 2769 So as you can see lots done but lots still to do so if anyone would like to offer help or suggestions in this thread then feel free.

alex6291 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Your T Zone mod was my favorite Real World Updates mod at the time, I can't wait to see that one especially if you use Burning Hamster mod as a base, that one as more japanese wrestlers than others.

Totalwarfare2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Buring hamsters mod was awesome. I felt like it was the most balanced mod in 2016. My only problem with it is 96 to 2000 was full of wrestlers. I would like to see you add alot more wrestlers. It really won't be hard to do in that era. Anyway good luck and God speed on this journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Belmont Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Sid was pretty over from summer ‘96 to this point. MSG was rockin’ at Survivor Series ‘96 when he beat Shawn for the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomenessofme1 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 For Terry Funk, you're going to want Desperado either instead of or in addition to Age Is Just A Number. AIJAN affects skill decline, Desperado is the one that stops retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going through each worker and filling in personality I cannot help but feel some people will be dead early doors like Sandman, Hawk etc haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I would share some screens from a little tester game. Some cards Some company profiles (Note these were from February AI signed Warrior he doesn't start there) Also AI Power Stable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerful_Fox Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Really looking forward for the full release of it mate. Interesting WWF undercard for the Rumble but sensible that Bret won it. WCW pulling big numbers on star power of Hogan, Savage Outsiders etc. and ECW playing to their product to smash a good rating. Really excited to dive into this.

moafnsteel Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Looking forward to this, as 1997 was when I was into wrestling the absolute most. For the chemistry (except announcers) I don't think it would be a deal-breaker if you didn't do them. Mainly because we can change the chemistry during the game if a tag team, two wrestlers fighting, or manager combo doesn't have good chemistry.

nerodragomir1 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I was just thinking about a mod like this a couple days ago! 1997 was the most important year in WWF history. I always say it was the best year in WWF history. It's also the year that built everything up to the explosion of 98. Very much looking forward to a January 97 mod.
