TCP1 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) In 2005 Adam Ryland created the first ever Total Extreme Wrestling and the CornellVerse was born based off the most famous and awesome wrestler of all time... Back in those days the stats were… very healthy. And everyone loved it. However, there was an update on the way, which evened things out slightly, but progressed the story of the fictional universe that we all know and love. Companies grew, shrank and slowly collapsed under the weight of their own hubris. Wrestlers ascended, debuted and retired and we watched in awe. Since then we have seen four more updates of the Cverse and the story of the wrestling world changed and shifted leading us to the current default data. But I for one never forgot the origins of this world. In a time when Rocky Golden and Nicky Champion were on the rise. When DAVE was clinging on to dear life and BHOTWG were dealing with their fall from the biggest company in the world thanks to the walkout and birth of INSPIRE. A time when the DeColts and the Stones were still at war with one another, where MAW was still run by the legendary Rip Chord, where Sam Keith was still wrestling, a number of second-generation superstars hadn’t debuted and where NYCW was running shows in Weston Gymnasium with mindless big lugs (some things always stay the same). The year is 2007 and this... is the CornellVerse… *** 29th August - Version 2 - The data and pic pack can be found here in my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zvq8t5qADk8YqsobYp2TqrqV4hLDase6?usp=sharing Version 2 Notes: * Corrected TCW events * Corrected SWF Events * Amended incorrect worker images, bios, attributes and starting activity * Moved Pistol Pete Hall to GCG, not CGC * Removed duplicate workers * Imported eras from Cverse1997 * SAISHO and WEXXV events added from CV2010 (thank you BrokenCycle) * BHOTWG, PGHW and GCG TV shows removed to avoid too many events * Some logos changed to incorporate the amazing work of Willr0ck and Kamchatka Recommended Gameplay Settings: When selecting a User Character at the start, do not remove the remaining ones, leave them all in. Regeneration: Disabled Auto Fix: Disabled New Worker Highlights: Enabled Picture Requirement: On (There are no spare images in the log, so I recommend setting New Workers as requiring images. This will mean no new workers will be generated. Obviously if you want to you can add images and go that route. But the mod is designed to stick (more or less) to Cverse lore. So debuts happen at the right time from the correct training facilities.) Area Battle: On Combined Regional Battle: On Combined Restricted Area: Semi Injury Frequency: Medium Randomness: Low Relationship Frequency: Low Death Frequency: Medium Deaths: Disabled Strict Storylines: Enabled Strict Boom and Bust: Disabled Organic Biographies: Enabled Organic Companies: Disabled Dirty Tricks: Enabled Chemistry Effects: Enabled Natural Growth Limits: Full Notes: I have done my best to equalise the stats to avoid the bloat of the original games. But, obviously I didn’t want to nerf everyone. It’s my personal choice, but if you have any issues, or complaints about the stats, let me know and if I agree I’ll change them. Alternatively, keep it to yourself and change the mod how you want it. It’s for everyone. The mod data is free to use by anyone who wants to use it as a base, or who wants to change or re-release or whatever. No need to ask me for permission. If you’re going to use the images, I recommend checking with the creators though and always worth checking with Derek B and Mr. T Jobs to Me as there is some work of there’s from the amazing 1977 and 1997 mods. Speaking of thanks, I want to give my heartfelt thanks to the following people who allowed use of their renders, graphics, data and a number of other things (in alphabetical order): Asaemon, Blackman, Brret99, cooldude, Derek B, djskeemask, esteel20, Jaysin, JTLant, JSilver, Kamchatka, King Bison, LoNdOn, Mr T Jobs to Me, ParkerStyles, Sisma, Shipshirt, smw88, sockpuppet, Undertaker666 and Willr0ck. These are the lifeblood of this wonderful, barmy game and without them I would probably have not have been invested as much as I have been. (I stupidly deleted my messages, so I can’t remember if I’ve forgotten anyone. If I have, please DM me and I’ll edit this and add thanks both here and on the Mod). The renders included will likely be different to what you’re used to as I wanted to freshen up the whole lot by mixing and matching. Obviously if you prefer your own picture packs, use them. But it’s a personal preference for me. If anyone wants to create add-ons to flesh out a certain area (women’s wrestling perhaps) or just to fill the mod with free agents or whatever, please go ahead. There is no Australia or India either. Broadly the game should be the same difficulty as the default with a couple of notable exceptions: UCR is in financial trouble because of some big contracts and struggling income. If the data plays out, barring anything strange, they will go bust within the year and will create the environment for UEW and EWA to be born. If they somehow survive it’s unlikely those two companies will be created. So playing as UCR will be tough. DAVE meanwhile have a similar problem only now they’ve got a lot of big contracts AND they’re somehow the fourth biggest promotion now that USPW have Sam Strong. It’s likely that they will go bust within a few months of the start. I have toyed with playing a save where I try and save DAVE and to be honest, I haven’t succeeded yet. Perhaps sacrificing TV and PPV and stripping the roster back and it might be possible. Regardless both PSW and FREEDOM are around the corner and will be created regardless. The difficulty of DAVE I’d put as impossible. This is obviously the first release, so if there are any errors, frustrations or just general complaints. Comment below and I will edit if necessary or just igonre you if I don't agree. Edited September 1, 2022 by TCP1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked and you’re right. Give me a second and I’ll try and fix that. **Fixed** There is also a 'People' file now in the Google Drive as there appear to be some worker images missing from the other file. Not sure why. So you will need all three items in the download. Edited August 29, 2022 by TCP1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenCycle Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Just from first glance I gotta say that it's clear that you spent a lot of time trying to balance the stat ceilings for the workers. I'm not sure how it plays in game because I haven't started yet, but it looks interesting. Also this may be a little bit of a hot take, but I'm not so sure about using the real workers as User Characters. I instinctively always click "Yes" to remove the unused User Characters, and Tommy Cornell (and everyone else important to the game world ) was gone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadly I’m happy with results. But it may not to be to all tastes. As for User Characters. I personally hate the Avatars, so wanted an alternative. Originally it was just veterans and fan favourites from Cverse97, but I expanded. Easily fixed if not to your tastes though. No need for it in Game Terms.

SanX Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Very interesting choice for the mod, especially time period, DAVE, INSPIRE, feels like an awesome era. Not sure how I missed the hype thread. Downloading it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 One little thing I just noticed, TCW is based in Mid South in the current 2020 data, but in 07 they should be based in South West. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did consider that. But I genuinely thought they might just crush CZCW if they dropped. Figured it was worth keeping them in Mid South. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP1 Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Post #2 of this thread now includes the awesome introduction screen splashes for the mod from the amazing Kamchatka. I will add these to the download in post #1 when I get home this evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP1 Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 I have now updated the data file to include Kam's awesome Splash Screens. I've also noticed that a lot of the relationships were wrong at the start. These have been amended. I have also made the changes suggested by people on here and in Discord.

Kamchatka Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Booted up a test game as DAVE, first thing i see is Sammy Bach is considered a Next Big Thing, its good to be back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) I see that BHOTWG, GCG and PGHW have both a large touring schedule and a 2hr weekly TV show. IMO that TV show should be dropped and the broadcasting deal replaced by a tour highlights show. INSPIRE has a TV show as well, but only has one monthly event. I can't recall their original 2007 schedule so I can't say if that is correct or not. EDIT: Maybe it would be worth importing the schedule from 2020 for SAISHO too? SAISHO is a traditional puro fed, so it should probably have a real puro schedule. Same goes for WEXXV, I see the CV2010 mod has a full schedule for them that could be imported.

Dalton Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Pistol Pete Hall has an exclusive contract with CGC, looks like it should be GCG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmsubzer Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Thank you soooo much for this! I've loved playing the 97 mod by DerekB and have played that mod for the last three iterations. I can't wait to give this one a try. I've always wanted to get into MAW at the ground floor and this looks to come as close as possible. Here's hoping I can book the style to my liking. Thanks again!

gmsubzer Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 A small edit for MAW, in game time, they're only in there second year, with 1 Rip Chord Invitational winner, but the event is set up to be the 15th showing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertaker666 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hector Galindo, Rudy Velasquez and Jesus Chavez should be a Brotherhood stable called "The Latino Kings" in DAVE. Hector and Rudy being Members and Jesus being the Muscle. Also in DAVE you've got Travis Century (retired wrestler) managing Hell's Bouncer, but he's also managed by Hell's Bouncer too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP1 Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 All the above is good stuff. Apologies for some of the errors. There was always going to be bits over missed. But I will look into and change any and all I can above for sure. As always the more the merrier. Especially for Japan of which I have limited knowledge. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamchatka Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Was slowly merging this mods image folder and an old backup of my main and two jumped out at me as off: João Vicente is a Black wrestler but now has a white profile pic. Shooting star perez is a male wrestler with a female profile pic. Also noticed theres no Eras - which could be useful for added historical detail. The 97 mod has a great modern set that covers up til past 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightnick Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Got a Duplicate report, you've got both Queen Emily and Emily McQueen. Queen Emily has 0s across the board so I'd likely dump that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w4lru5 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Duplicate: Luke Cool and Travis Cool, the same person, are both under contract with 21CW. Love the mod! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP1 Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) I knew there’d be duplicates. Not to be confused with DupliKate of course. Lol. I’ll ditch the spares. I’ll also replace the two errant images of Joao Vicente and SSP. Edited August 31, 2022 by TCP1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
