1996: Hostile Takeover BETA Release

[MrVillain]

I'm probably Charles Robinson's biggest fan, but I don't think any ref should have 100 in refereeing.

 

Disagree..Earl Effin Hebner..

[gazwefc83]

Is there supposed to be no angles in the database?

 

Ah shit, I deleted them all as I only use freestyle angles, I reimport them for the next update

Good spot, I'll drop that for sure

Just fired up the mod and will hopefully have some more in depth thoughts as I get to play a bit with it over the coming days but I just wanted to say I absolutely love the skin and the pic packs. Adds a really distinct and cool touch. Bravo!

Bret returned to TV in August and announced he was staying with WWE, he was given $125,000 a month for 3 years and would then recieve a garenteed 7 more years as a Road Agent on a lower amount. He only left because vince did a u turn on the deal and pulled the screw job. You'd have to screw him or fire him to get him off the books or keep in around on the big wage.

 

If your playing as WCW i would just alter his contract length in the in game editor

If I'm playing as WCW, what length should I give his contract?

He left in November 1997 so anywhere between 12 and 18 months in the pre game editor, you can change it specifically in the in game editor to the exact date if you wish

the auto booker sure has a type</p>

<p>Not sure if you knew this, but you can use the default skin without issues if you follow the instructions below;</p><p> </p><p>

- copy the file in the logos folder called GEN.jpg into the people folder and rename it _Blank Background.jpg </p><p> </p><p>

This will fix the issues related to using .gif photos with the default skin.</p><p> </p><p>

Hope this helps anyone who prefers the default skin</p><p> </p><p>

EDIT: great mod btw =)</p>

You could maybe make the current product Attitude Entertainment but i'd say they were in a very slow transition at the time so they are between the two.</p>

Why is it that I get a KTB skin when I download the Hostile Takeover skin? It's literally a duplicate of the KTB skin, I don't know why.

It uses the same skin but adds in backgrounds to use with the gif style worker pics

Iv set it as the core so the AI is more likely to switch to it and use it once the attitude era begins

<p>Couple more things I caught:</p><p> </p><p>

1) Ivan and Scott Putski are blood related.</p><p> </p><p>

2) Barbarian and Warlord tag history as The Powers of Pain</p><p> </p><p>

3) Perry Aguayo and Perry Agyauo Jr. are related</p><p> </p><p>

4) Quebecers as a tag team is missing. Both would show up in WCW later as the Amazing French Canadians and return to the WWF for a short run later. Neither have the three runs as WWF Tag Team champions in their histories as well.</p><p> </p><p>

5) Dave Finlay is in WCW at this point</p>

[RaptorMcFly]

<p>The Godwnns weren't set as a team in WWF </p><p>

Jesse James Armstrong was in WWF at this time</p><p>

High Voltage were in WCW at the time </p><p> </p><p>

I really love the mod. Thank you</p>

Hey gaz, this looks good.... this looks REEEAAAAAAL good.

 

I’m keen to start a longterm save with this, only I want to wait for your next update to drop (with the changes you’ve mentioned in the last few posts). Any idea when that will be?

[franticloser]

Shouldn't Jim Neidhart have a relationship with Bret, Owen, and Bulldog? Bulldog and Neidhart are married into the Hart family, they also where all close friends beyond just being in-laws.

Loving this mod so far, but some notes I have: looking at the women workers, I don't see Marcela or Princesa Sugehit. I don't know much about modmaking, but is it possible to recreate the exodus of talent from AAA to Promo Azteca?
