C-Verse 2005 (RELEASE)

[Nightshadeex]

Hi everyone, I have, for you, the first pass of C-Verse 2005!

 

What has been done:

Products have been updated to the new system.

All workers have been given attributes.

Relationships and Contracts have been updated.

Other minor adjustments to characters.

I messed with schedules, then got scared and (hopefully) changed them all back.

 

Everything was moved forward from the TEW2016 version of the mod created by Stennick and myself. So all of the work we've put in since our first release is included.

 

C-Verse 2005 is not particularly balanced. You will see multiple 95+ matches in the first couple months. The bigger companies', assuming the industry or economy is doing well, will hire a lot of people you might be itching to use. That'll be part of the fun.

 

Hey, try to make one of the Aussie promotions do really well. Maybe have UCR not die. Mexico is on even footing. No one has broken out in the British Isles yet, either. Will your Sports Entertainment CGC defeat the soulless wrestling machine that is NOTBPW? Can you revive GCG? Can you take Ryu Kajahara and his band of misfits to the top of Japanese wrestling?

 

I don't know the answer to any of these questions!

 

If you give it a try, please give me some feedback, things that can be fixed, oversights or things I missed, etc.

 

(Note: The database is currently set to December 2005. It will not be playable on the demo unless you change the date to January 2006. Hopefully, you'll be using the next few days to help me find errors and opportunities to make the data better, so no biggie.)

 

(Also Note: A large portion of workers have Organic Bio set by default. If you do not like the organic bio, you can easily mass edit them back to static. I mainly switched to organic because not everyone's bio from 2005 was particularly fleshed out. Your tastes may vary.)

 

Future plans:

Fix any discrepancies that might pop up.

Add to broadcasters as necessary.

Balance the data a little better.

V1.12 (2nd Update) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gUmsK4U8cbhUwTXkkpm7eNLz5o7kxfeS/view?usp=sharing

 

Use WinRAR (or some other unzipping program) to extract the data.

 

 

v 1.11 Changes:

Fixed some data errors I found.

Fixed broadcasters to be in line with 2020 data, because they weren't working correctly during testing.

Tournament Titles have been set to be defended at their proper events.

 

v1.12 Changes:

Completed new injuries fields.

Completed title bios, removed title lineages that don't make sense.

A few alter egos, changes to owner stats, little miscellaneous stuff I should have kept better track of.

More Balanced CVerse 2005 v2.0

 

C-Verse Version 2.21

 

India Free Pictures (Big thanks to brat99 and Wonk) - India Free Pictures

 

Yet to Debut Promotion Logos (+Australia) - New Promotion Logos

People Picture Pack - C-Verse 2005 Picture Pack

 

They are all WinRAR files, so you will need a decompressing program, I suggest Googling WinRAR if you don't have one.

 

Version 2.0 (Release)

-Popularity for every debuted worker has been manually altered to fit where I thought they should be.

-Skills for every worker have been brought down from the inflated 2005 highs.

-Companies have been altered to work as I think they should.

-Broadcasters for every region have been added to. Along with the original C-Verse broadcasters, I've added in 220 more that cover a whole range of regions.

-Locations are of my own doing (Not all have flavor text, in fact, only a fraction do as of now. I'll be working on that when I feel like it.) Venues are C-Verse venues.

-Logos for yet to debut promotions have been added. (I spent several hours making them, so if you don't like them, tough!)

 

Version 2.01

-Fixed locations not showing everywhere.

 

Version 2.02

-Added missing tag teams from the original dataset that got deleted by accident.

 

Version 2.03

-Now with Fixed Tournament Titles and Starting Storylines added back in!

 

Version 2.2

-Added Alter Egos, Agers, and Free Pictures

-Also might have a corrupted database, because when I try to add a new worker, there is a RTE 94 when I try to access their skills.

 

Version 2.21

-Reported the database in order to get away from corruption I added in. Y'see boys and girls, I like to edit lots of things in Access in order to make things quicker. Unfortunately, if you mess up a setting here or there, you corrupt the hell out of the database. Hahahaha... yeah... my bad. Hopefully this will fix it, otherwise I'll have to start from scratch. I don't want to do that. Hahahahaha.

 

Things I Plan on Doing

-Flavor text for Locations.

-Any data altering that makes for a better world.

-Last pass at stats.

 

Things I Might Do

-Get back into DAZ and make some more free pictures

-Make pictures for broadcasters

 

 

Let me know if you like the balanced data set. I haven't done any real play tests, but the watcher sims seem to work out fine. Australia dies just before APW pops up. INSPIRE is reliably opened by Kikkawa. BSC opens on time. Professor Nero usually gets picked up, so RIPW doesn't usually open. I was upset for awhile, then remembered that not everything that happened in C-Verse canon can happen. The butterfly flaps its wings and something is changed. Stay tuned for my 2006 WreSpi time release coming in the future if you want RIPW attached to SWF, Sam Strong owning USPW, and Jeff Nova owning 21CW (I think that happens by then...).

[moafnsteel]

Cannot wait to try this!! Your version on '16 was awesome!

[moafnsteel]

Just a heads up you have the database to start December 2005. Easy fix, but just wanted to let you know. Okay so I tried to change the date to Jan. 2005 and I got a bunch of errors. So I just changed it to Jan. 2006 and it was all good.

[Nightshadeex]

Yep, that's in the notes, you'll want to set it forward to January 2006 for the best results.

[moafnsteel]

Oh gotcha, sorry about that. It looks good so far, will dive into it more.

 

The only picture that I cannot figure out is Mastericco and Tom Angelus.

FYI: that's the original starting date. Not everyone was a fan of that due to it being a "running start", but like you said: easy fix.

I did not know that! Thanks for the info, I really like the 05 data, didn't start playing till '13 so it has always been fun to see what happened before and change things up.

[Dross]

Awesome! Love the 2005 C-Verse :-)

 

Two issues I noticed:

- The first time you start up a game, there are a bunch of warnings of workers that have wrong roles ticked.

- Some workers who have changed their names have no picture if you don't import them from previous games (The Natural, Liberty...)

 

Will let you know if other issues pop up

Are the stats based around the superpowered 05 stats? <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I like the assigned products. This is just my opinion and a minor thing as ROF will probably never start a TV show, but I'd put AdePro as "respectful wrestling" and ROF as "wrestling as a sport" (so essentially switch them). 5SSW's heel/face split without any gimmicks seems a bit weird now (but I guess it was like that in 2005 <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />). Maybe their actual product isn't in the game yet, but pseudo-sport seems off. I like attitude-era SWF but switched the match focus with TCW as I think the 3RC fits them more.

[Nightshadeex]

<p>I had removed roles from a bunch of people last night, but hadn't changed the contracts. Thanks for the heads up! Luckily it auto fixes the problem, so the contracts on future games won't be a problem.</p><p> </p><p>

For the pictures, all I did was copy and paste from each prior year to 2020 to fill in the blanks. At some point, I may make an "Official" picture pack, but it's not high on my list.</p>

[rufas2000]

<p>I am looking forward to this. </p><p> </p><p>

What would happen if I deleted all the "Yet to debut" workers then reimported the 2020 workers (it would reject any duplicates). </p><p> </p><p>

Is that a quick and easy way to get those workers attributes?</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

I’m not sure how de-aging effects popularity but it might just work for stats.</p>

[Blackman]

Yeah you'd have to de-age them individually. A... daring project for sure. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

[rufas2000]

<p>Good points. For the deaging process couldn't I select "yet to debut" and mass de-age that list? </p><p> </p><p>

It won't come out perfect but one or two times around might help. Popularity would be an issue though. Mass edit to zero and pick the ones who would have some buzz and give them some pop.</p><p> </p><p>

Edit: I know its 15 years but aging seems to have a dramatic effect. If deaging does likewise three times around might nerf them too much.</p><p> </p><p>

Then of course there are those that were added in 2020 who will also get the nerf and be lower than the denerfed rookies (not to mention compared to the rest of the database). Could switch the date to 2020, eliminate the yet to debut and reimport them. </p><p> </p><p>

Or … I could wait for updates from the mod lol.</p>

I spent hundreds of hours changing stats around in 2013 and 2016. I probably spent 20-25 hours doing the attributes of already debuted workers. It'll probably take me 20-25 more to do the rest.</p><p> </p><p> Which is to say, I will be adding attributes for everyone else, I just wanted to get more eyes on the initial database while I work on that.</p>

[Blackman]

Can't you ask Adam for the password? That way you should be able to copy-paste the entire bunch of attributes over. Save you loads of time. A serious modder should have access to it imo (but I don't make the rules ). Not everyone seems to convert properly. The convertor seems to have a bias towards a set of 5 profiles and will fill the gameworld with those.

[moafnsteel]

Small little thing, but I would probably set SWF Wrestling University to a performance center instead of a dojo. I mean it does cost more money, but since it was revamped in 2004 (and in '20 it doesn't say they did much more than that) I think it would make sense. Again not a huge thing but something I noticed.

I don't always copy attributes 1 for 1. Some former steroid users are steroid users in 2005. Some people have had a personality change for better or worse over 15 years. Etc.

 

That's why I go through every record to make the world a little more realistic.

I'll look into that, I didn't do anything to the dojos, so I should be able to make them better.
