Jaysin Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 I'm in no way rushing Jaysin because I'd much rather this mod be excellent than rushed and buggy, and I know you said you don't have an ETA, but do you have a rough guess at least when you think the mod may be ready? Next week? Next Month? Next year? I ask because I'm honestly waiting for this mod to hit before purchasing the game, and if Jaysin expects it's going to be awhile, I may start with another mod. I just didn't want to get heavily involved in a mod for a few days and then this one comes out lol. I'd recommend starting with another mod. My state is ending it's pandemic shutdown and I'll be back to two jobs so my free time will be scarce. Still plugging away though. I went through WWF's roster and it looks like the converter did a pretty good job on attributes, but I'll be adding more. Then I'll go to JCP and do the same thing. I'm torn on what to do with the NWA World title. On one hand, JCP was it's home for the mid-late 80s, but Flair did defend it elsewhere. I also have WCW as a yet to debut promotion, so leaving the NWA title as JCP's primary title gives them their own main event belt when competition hits. Anyone have a preference?

Jaysin Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Is there a way to script it so that the title stays with JCP until WCW hits? I don't see any issues with that. Is JCP part of the NWA in the mod? Sadly you can't use narratives or anything to make the belt belong to someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TouchMeTwice Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just for this comment, I deleted them from the database. Jokes aside, I really hope you didn't. I really enjoy the "what if" scenarios that playing old databases offer, it's the whole point I play them Even if I don't recruit certain people, I enjoy seeing what they do in other territories.

KevinStorm Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 My biggest problem with this mod in 16 was that workers would sign like 6 different contracts with different companies because they're all PPA and non-exclusive, when in real life they would only be working for one company at a time. Hopefully the new contract system in 20 makes that work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking put everyone on exclusive handshake deals, or something like that, might be the solution in 20. I wish there was a way to tune the game so that during this time period workers would only take exclusive deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kito333 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Yea I think handshake deals. Then a bidding war will happen between most workers but at least it gives us the option of trying to land some guys we want. If you think certain wouldnt leave in real life maybe give them loyalty, that way people can edit it out if they desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobbers I can admit is something I should've added more of in past projects.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've honestly never heard of him, but I'll see if he's in the data when I work on it tonight. Going to go through WWF workers again and assign attributes that I missed in the first pass. Not sure how to handle Demolition alter ego for Moondog Rex. I already have Barry Darsow with a Demolition Smash alter ego, should I give Rex one too? In a few test saves JCP gets to medium and signs Darsow to a long term deal to keep him as Krusher so I want the user a chance to do Demolition even if Darsow gets locked into a deal elsewhere.

ScottyTheBody Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I don't know if you're taking suggestions for workers or not, but there's two things I remember from the 85 mod (as it's absolutely my go-to mod). Firstly, The Destroyer Dick Beyer isn't in there, despite working for All Japan well into the 90s. He's definitely a must have! Also, the mod had Jesse Ventura as fully retired when he still wrestled full time into early 1986 (in addition to color). Thanks for taking on this task! 85 is by far my favorite mod for many reasons, and it's wonderful that someone is expanding on it further.
