Some screenshots of the database:

 

 

Feel free to ask for other screenshots, I'll gladly post them.

I'm holding off on giving my big interpretations until I learn how this game works (that damned "lack of anything interesting happening" penalty...) but after booking a grand total of 1 RAW and 1 Heat as WWE, this seems pretty good so far.

 

One thing I noticed is that Lita is set to not have a brand, which made her unbookable on the show until I changed that. Also, a lot of the WWE's road agents are...very, very bad. Not sure if that's intentional or not, but throwing it out there.

[Lukkearthur]

Those WWE picture in the preview look awesome.

[Bestia Negra]

What picture pack is that with the empty-ish arena background? I've used those back in the TEW 13 days but unfortunately I don't have em anymore.

[miamarsden]

Shift, I have a question...and if it's a no, I completely understand but...

 

So for the WWE guys, is there anyway you can make that picture background in blue for people who want to do a brand split?

 

It would be awesome!

 

Thank you!

[miamarsden]

Or is there a way we can get the background? Thanks so much!

[miamarsden]

You're amazing for this Shift!!! Thank you so much!

[miamarsden]

May I ask where you found the 2005 renders? I've been searching all night but I've had no luck.

[Snakebite180]

Psd dreams usually have high quality renders, although haven’t used that site for years. What month in 2005 is the start date of data?

The data starts in January.</p>

[miamarsden]

<p>Alright, I can't wait for this next update! (well, I must, so...)</p><p> </p><p>

I'm very excited and I've done a couple of test pictures. I think it helps a lot especially since some of us have to turn off colors. The blue is blinding in the rosters screen.</p>

[jonnycosmic]

This mod is making me enjoy TEW2020.

 

I have never played a historical mod before, but this is superb!

[miamarsden]

You have no idea how excited I am to have those pictures in blue. As it turns out, I'm awful at finding historical renders XD

 

Following this thread closely.

Thanks, buddy, glad you're enjoying it. Let me know if you find any errors or stuff you think should be looked at!

Much appreciated haha, I'm currently about... 60% done I'd say with the graphics and I hope I'm done with it by tomorrow or Saturday.

[miamarsden]

So I found out Umaga (under Ekmo) doesn't have a picture in the picture pack. If we could get one in the next release that would be super. Thank you!!! Really enjoying a 2005 brand split save, Eddie and HHH just hit a 99 so that was epic.

[franticloser]

Something I would do is remove OVW as a child company. They where never owned by the WWE. They are still an independent company that in TEW terms had an agreement to receive WWE's developmental talent. They also have and had their own school. Which they can't do as a child company. Bubba Ray and D-Von are both coming up as negative influences. Bubba has had a few rumors of being a bully at time but D-Von has never had that reputation. Johnny Nitro has the scumbag personality which doesn't fit. He may be a free spirit or something like that but aside from issues with Trish (which was a few years down the road) from what I can remember he doesn't have many personality issues. Lance Cade is also listed as gloomy, he had drug issues but never heard much about him being negative. Nick Nemeth is a mercenary, which I don't think fits, at this stage I would say he is driven as he has been beaten down by the machine yet. Heyman is also listed as a mercenary which I don't see at all, Vik Delicious (Rob Begley) is listed as a scumbag not sure on that one.

 

Okay one more suggestion, you may want to go through and examine the experience stat. It is a new stat so I don't think the conversion factors it in (Dory Funk Jr. had an experience of 0) And it is one of the major stats needed for a good road agent. I would go with a scale based on years in the business and then adjust as needed for guys who have worked more then others.

Yeah, Umaga (Ekmo) was in Japan at the time so he might be missing a pic like a lot of Japan workers, I'm surprised he doesn't have a KyKy under a different name though so I'll give him one in the next update.

Thanks a lot! I'll change OVW and look into the personality types, I've changed a few of them and added some traits myself but obviously going through 2000+ workers takes its time TEW did a good job of converting the personality types from the workers I saw but some might have had a few negative traits in TEW16 that tipped them off to bad influences this year.

 

What do you suggest for Heyman? I think I changed it myself but maybe 'Driven' suits him more for 2005.

 

From what I read, Experience is factored in when converting but it does need tweaking by the modders. I'll have a look and change them and hopefully get all (or most) workers done by the time the game releases.

 

Once again, thanks a lot for your help!

[franticloser]

During this time Paul Heyman wouldn't be as driven so much as he is settled into not opening his own business. So he is going to have the highest creative personality or one of the ones regarding giving advice to talent. This is the time period he started doing that in OVW and continues to be that way today.

[Slim Jim]

<p>I don't think Heyman needs one of the set personality options (you don't need one of the 'specific personality' options). I think he can be represented by the additional traits alone.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Something like:</strong></p><p>

Creative Dynamo</p><p>

Passes on Knowledge</p><p>

Highly Strung</p><p>

Motormouth</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Possibly:</strong></p><p>

Money Motivated - I don't think that was necessarily true at the time but would probably do a good job of representing his fairly savvy negotiation skills</p><p> </p><p>

As for Morrison/Nitro - Needy. Generally he's fine but if things start going wrong, he blows them out of proportion to his own detriment (see: the Trish incident / anything where he felt the need to defend Melina). I wouldn't give him Free Spirit as I don't think there are stories of him being unreliable. Maybe also make him Thin-Skinned but that might be stretching it a bit too far.</p>

[miamarsden]

So we probably should list Eddie Guerrero as a former hard drug user. Also...as much as it pains me to say this, Edge should have at least the start of neck problems. Should Lita and/or Ric Flair have the cheater attribute?
