No problem!

 

I've also reported it as a bug just to make sure.

So, I wasn't planning to mention any other versions of this until it was ready, BUT I was finally able to run a test game on Monday and the broadcasting deals were not good enough, at all. Obviously in TEW2016 they didn't have things like broadcast style or as many broadcast types, so I just put companies on networks that suited their size.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p>

This did not work in TEW2020. I knew it wouldn't, but didn't realise how bad it was, pretty much every company got dropped by it's broadcaster first chance it got. The ZEN's, other than original, got dropped from The ZEN Network, CEW and AE in Australia both dropped, NOTBPW were on a mainstream broadcaster and a kids TV channel, of course dropped. SNP and BOH were on mainstream broadcasters, dropped. I think it was SOTBPW on pure sports network, dropped etc. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p>

So, I have spent the last 4 days at work (shush, don't tell anyone) doing about 30 test games where the broadcast deals all got set to end either 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. I have created a couple of dozen new games to see who will neotiate with who, realistic deals you can get financially etc. I tweaked the broadcasters I made to fix issues, so BBV and BBv-Online are now no focus, that sorts SNP. The Women's network were dropping AAA despite owning them, that's been sorted. I moved CEW to "The Bloke Network" as they are small and adult, and moved AE from The Bloke Network to the only new broadcaster I created, a medium mainstream style company called M.A.T.E. If anyone follows what I did with the Australian scene then they'll know that suits the situation more anyway.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p>

Pretty much every company got moved, but nothing crazy. You won't see companies who were on small networks now on huge one's, they've all stayed same level, but now on the right style. The only changes I made to default broadcasters are that The A.S.N. who own RAW now allow Medium companies, as RAW seem to end up that way and they should not drop their own company. C.A.N.N. now allow medium too, again because SWF start at medium and they have a long history. Reverie now allow small companies, but only 2 companies at a time, so that it reflects the fact they purchased MAW and air their shows.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>

Most recent tests show the game is running so insanely smoothly I'm genuinely surprised. No shock droppings of companies, everyone getting renewed realistically (have twice now seen companies in a slump not get renewed, so it's working great as nearly all are but shows some can still struggle) at same time I have seen companies leave their current broadcaster for a better one at end of contract, again to show they are growing in game or also they have grown since they signed the deal they start on.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p>

Anyone who is looking to play a save with this should download the update before as it will make things much better for long-term saves. Honestly it seems completely playable already, but for the extra details in attributes and popularity, things like title prestige and descriptions etc. mean it's still not quite at full release. But it is certainly playable!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p>

One other note, that Munit will be happy about, even though I am still going through workers I have mass edited all current road agents I haven't got round to yet to have 100 experience. Some had 0 when converted, so if anyone had an issue with road agents not working that too has been sorted!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p>

So yeah, please enjoy the new updated version where companies thrive and stay on the air!!</p></p>

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm getting an error upon starting a game that SOTBPW's TV deals #1 and #4 clash, and #2 and #3 clash as well. I changed it myself so that Canal Uno has no coverage in USA and the errors disappeared.

 

I assume I'm doing something wrong on my end though.

That's odd,I got rid of that error message before uploading, basically I accidentally gave the USA broadcaster exclusive USA coverage. But I specifically remember starting a new game with no errors, then uploading it after! That's really confusing lol

 

Glad you sorted it, but I'll still upload a fixed version tomorrow

[lavelleuk]

<p>Sorry about the SOTBPW issue, new upload now that fixes that.</p><p> </p><p>

If anyone is interested this update now also has around 40 of the new TEW2020 guys in it as that is what I am working on. </p><p> </p><p>

A few things I changed, all of The Cleansing in CILL now joined the company a year earlier (November 2018) this is because rosters need made bigger in this version anyway, and I like them. So if I didn't put them in CILL in this mod I wouldn't get to see them until the 2022/2023 mod I do, and I want to pay as them!</p><p> </p><p>

Same goes for LiberTeen in RAW, they were supposed to join RAW Feb 2018 but then I would never get to play as them. So now they joined October 2017 and they are at the bottom of the card just starting to make an impact. Will Beaumont is back to Will LiberTeen (I assume he was called as makes sense with everyone else's name) so those who are a fan of the by band can start his rise themselves.</p><p> </p><p>

Sorry about the SOTBPW issue!!</p>

When I follow the game link it appears to direct me to a download for the executable TEW2020 application, as opposed to a data file.

Ok, I do have fibromyalgia, and sometimes I get MAJOR brain fog, like this week for example, but even for me that was a REALLY stupid mistake lol

 

Fixed it now, thanks for letting me know!!

[Teasenitryn]

<p>This is fab work all around.</p><p> </p><p>

One question from an AAA perspective, was it a deliberate design decision that so many of the workers and staff have a mercenary personality? With some I understand it, such as Alexis Lee Littlefeather who was in line for a title run in QAW who have built her up where others might have been caught up on that she was a Babe of Sin City alumni, others it seems they either went to a bigger fed then came home when they were needed to try to push it to something bigger or they have come back to work behind the scenes.</p><p> </p><p>

Not a complaint mind you though christ, five incidents, if one of them a wrestler's court, before my very first show...lol.</p>

[a0161613]

Personalities didn't convert brilliantly as a result of how the converter dealt with the sliders from 2016. I'd be surprised if it was a design choice.

[lavelleuk]

This is still a "BETA" version, if I am using that term correctly lol. I am currently in the process of going through every worker and changing attributes.

 

With personalities I am going on what they were on the 2016 version. I get why Adam is happy to change people, hell he created them, but there are cases where a guy has something like "class clown" or "people person" in 2020, but in 2016 they were unsocial pessimistic people, same as there being "professionals" who in 2016 were very selfish and ruthless etc.

 

I am changing some to 2020 personality if I think it suits them and their bio more, but in general I am finding there were a lot less professional and friendly people using the 2016, so you will see that more in this mod. Especially mercenary, that was a lot of people's most dominant trait in 2016, hell if I hadn't changed any I'd say over 50% of people in the game would be mercenary. and not just slightly over to the right on the slider, but right the way over, very mercenary.

 

Now, that all said, I haven't actually played TEW2020 yet due to working on this mod so I was unaware mercenary gave off negative interactions, I knew they had a minor negative backstage morale impact, which I was ok with as I have seen a lot of people saying backstage moral was too high in this version anyway. BUT the rest of the description makes it sound like they won't do anything bad, just that they are just only interested in money and their career, which I thought was a very realistic thing for most workers to have. It's basically a slightly more business minded version of stalwart I thought. Other personalities says things like "is more likely to have negative interactions" but mercenary doesn't say anything like that.

 

Once I have done the attributes I will be playing it myself, doing tests etc. so if I do think it's all too negative and creating too many incidents I will edit things, but yeah I thought mercenary would just not boost morale and would make them slightly less happy to lose to lower workers, which I liked.

 

Feedback like that is hugely appreciated by the way, I need to know what to look out for when I am testing!

[Teasenitryn]

Always happy to give feedback and certainly I get your position on mercenary. I don't know if it is a real issue yet, I'm one show in, but AAA is not a very upbeat lockeroom all in all. On a staff size of a little over thirty, fifteen are mercenary, one is a troublemaker (and she wasted zero time letting me know it nearly decking a fan, if she weren't tag champion...), one is a loner and I believe at least two are gloomy including the person in the superhero costume lol.

 

Because I am doing a dynasty on AAA I will likely keep it as is unless it causes too much trouble, a little drama gives me stuff to write about after all, though it is something where throughout the dynasty I might change things where I wouldn't necessarily if I were just playing it for myself.

 

I have to say the modding community is awesome, I am spoiled for choice. cverse default is nice, thunderverse have a ready for 2020 version of their 2016 setup, might look into a second dynasty when they release a new one, not even touched killing the business for real life shenanigans yet. AAA was always a federation I liked though so I've probably spent more time here if not playing then plotting.

 

Oh to add on having read your losing to lower workers etc, I very much get that. I booked a triple threat with Svensson, Ammis and Littlefeather, not written it up on the dynasty yet but I had the champion retaining in part to advance the Svensson storyline with Liilly and Rose, Svennson was very unhappy until I booked keep her strong, Littlefeather was also unhappy but said nothing because Ammis looked like she was about to deck her, and this was losing to a champion, it was...interesting.

I can't remember where I was up to on editing attributes, I think workers beginning with "G", I am currently midway through "H" (yes it takes that long!)

 

I just started a game with AAA, not sure how different it is to yours but I see 16 workers who are mildly negative, but only 4 of those 16 have been looked at so obviously it might all change once it is all done.

 

In contrast, coincidentally, 16 are some form of positive, and out of those 16 13 are workers I have looked at and edited, so I think eventually it will be fixed.

 

Actually looking at it further, on mine Alexis Lee Littlefeather is "stalwart", when did you download the mod? If it was when I first created this thread then none of workers had been looked at, just things like roster sizes and things that would "break" the game if not sorted.

[Teasenitryn]

I believe I got the mod on release of 2020 as a full purchase so yeah likely I am a good way behind in terms of updates made. I could very easily start afresh given I am not far in at all, I was focusing more on where I wanted certain story threads to go. What I will likely do is over time change one or two at a time with a more positive mood being reflected in (hopefully) AAA’s further success and exposure on the Women’s Network. It is certainly something that Quine is working on, getting these ladies working together who have been involved in varying degrees since before the television deal and how the mood is towards what they may see as opportunists coming back or buying in now there is something on the table so unless it proves to be detrimental right now it’s a story point that works.

 

I will certainly be keeping an eye for when this comes out of beta because I will likely put it in a different named folder, have it for any new games and supposing this one still going see how close my own choices were to yours.

Ah cool, that's ok, at least I'm not making the morale too low!

 

Glad you seem to be enjoying it anyway, I do like AAA in this mod!

[Teasenitryn]

Yeah I am happy to have a mod that AAA exists in though with the default database I can see where they were squeezed out by USPW among others. I am also digging having AAA with a weekly show, I need to write a few things down but being able to do more between the monthly events, let’s just say I have plans and leave it at that

[lavelleuk]

<p>It's been a while so just thought I would give people a small update on how things are going.</p><p> </p><p>

I am still trawling my way editing workers attributes, gimmicks, condition, experience etc. It needs to be done right so I am making sure I don't rush, but it is taking a long time! I have recently gone through things like permanent tag teams and added descriptions to all titles as well as giving them the right prestige. </p><p> </p><p>

I am also continuing to sort out new pictures for workers in the render thread, same as event logos if any get uploaded on here. Renders alone were over 400 downloaded after I got my laptop back, although new pictures have slowed since the game was first released.</p><p> </p><p>

So not a huge amount to report, but I just thought some people might be happy to know it is being worked on still.</p>

I've never really gotten into the C-Verse but the renders on these forums are great and with everything going on I think it's a great time to jump into a mod like this & see whats what. Also FYI you have 2 dead links on the main page

 

Any recommendations (from anyone) on who to go? Or just jump in?

The top 2 work fine! It's just under the picture are two more links that are dead.

Ah okay thanks! I really like the graphics compared to the normal C-Verse and started looking into QAW but might switch to AAA as I've never ran a womens only promotion before!

Didnt realise I had done that!! Cheers for letting me know!

 

I really enjoy the women of the c-verse now, I had never even looked at them before creating the mod! A AAA save is still on my to do list! I think they'd be the most fun as they're really in a position to compete with the big boys

[lavelleuk]

Are there any 4C fans who use this mod, or might want to check it out?

 

 

Reason I ask is I thought I would give a quick update on the kind of things I am doing in order to convert this mod to 2016.

 

 

I was working on attributes last night and got to Mario Heroic, and saw what happened with him in the 2020 default data. I also know 4C went bankrupt in 2020 too.

 

 

In 2020 they had the Heroic and Bobby Thomas signings that didn't pay off. With 2020 having bigger rosters than 2016 4C needed four new wrestlers in this mod anyway.

 

 

In my mod Sayeed Ali (East Side Assassin) has become a big name and is the 4C figurehead. He is also loyal to 4C as I didn't want him signing a written exclusive contract with any one company (I tried making him a freelancer but on nearly all test games he just ended up unemployed, but this way he stayed employed to multiple companies at one.

 

 

So now I have changed the bio of 4C owner Troy Winner to say he is going for number two promotion in Canada thanks to the unexpected growth Sayeed Ali has provided, and the fact CGC are faltering.

 

They added Elliot Thomas first, who was released by TCW in my mod anyway in 2016, but he hasn't been the draw they hoped.

 

 

They also added Ryan Powell, in my mod originally they hired Ryan Powell in 2017 for a few months but released him as he wasn't worth the money, I have now changed it so he is still employed but many feel he isn't worth the money.

 

 

Bobby Thomas was added towards the end of the year, before Heroic December 2017. So now 4C have the bigger roster they needed, four guys with a bit more pop but are also on bigger money, and the company has a clear goal/narrative now, take them over and go for CGC's position as Canada's number two. It makes them more fun in this mod, but also fits what happened in the default data as as you have these bigger names but they may not actually work, and if they don't using them is risking money issues.

 

 

So yeah, this is why releasing is taking a while, but also why I think it will be worth the wait, as there are so many companies who have a clear goal, things to overcome, or they are in a position to grow! So if anyone does miss 4C I hope you like what I have done!

I downloaded this last week and I have to say I’m blown away by this mod. I am new to TEW and TEW20 is the first instalment I have played. I loved the C-Verse default mod and added in some of the YTD characters and Indy expansion characters. I then stumbled upon this mod and I cannot believe how great it is. The renders are superb. I have also incorporated the default mod, http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=548027, http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=547262 and http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=548306 to the database, so I can have a really long save. I am having some issues with a few of the characters images not loading - I have added them to the default folder - but the weird thing is, if I click on the characters profile, I can see their face but it isn’t viewable when I’m looking at the roster view, during shows or in news. I’m not sure if it has something to do with characters being linked to companies? Anyway, I’m loving this mod and I have a TCW save which is going great.

I am really glad you are enjoying it! I have added the absolutely ridiculous and creepergav add-ons into the data now too so luckily you won't have to do that in the future.

 

I loved my TCW save with this mod, was the first time I'd ever managed to do a long-term save with them!

 

Which are the characters pictures you are having issues with? There is a chance I have left the contracted picture blank, especially with some of the new workers in 2020 having the same pictures I'd used for characters. If you let me know any you see (or dont see as the case may be!) I can look into it

[Munit]

Hey any update on the mod?
