Finished updating TWL yesterday, also been adding a bunch of new workers thanks to the AI. They’ll give so many good tenders that it makes me have to use them.

I've experimented a bit too and the AI rendering stuff is not only fun but a bit addictive. And it produces so much. 4 images at once is great but I  keep finding one is "it" and the other three aren't right but are still solid. So I save all of them and have 3 extra that when I get around to cutting them, I guess they become free pics? Or you have to refine your prompts and run it a second time, so you might have 7 extras. 

Have not played with era-specific prompts yet, but given what you've created for 70s styles, I imagine its quite capable and probably very fun. 

Look forward to seeing the update 🙂

This is exactly what happens with me too. I end up using some as free pics but others I keep as leftover because I may find someone who fits the pics later on or have an idea for a character that the pic would be good for.

 

The way I do era specific renders is by adding the words "...in a 70's style" to what ever I'm specifically looking to be more 70's esque. I've used this the most with hair, as the system tends to give young men more of a modern hairdo by default.

The TWL Renders look awesome, really! Really excited to see the final result for all of them.

lol, so clean. My only complaint is why didn't you drop this last month when most of these guys were still on my SWF roster? (I kid, I kid)

From back when he was doing time with Continental down Alabama way in the mid-'80s...  😎

I messaged you on discord as well but I really like the mod. I played it last weekend and I loved it.

[Capelli King]

I am a massive fan of the mod, currently up to 1986 in game, having fun running BHOTWG at the moment 😀

I think it is a fantastic mod for people who like to build up their own history because around 1977 is when things started to get interesting in the USA and Japan. The other plus of playing in this period is also the fact that the talent pool is smaller, so the game plays much faster, but you still have enough good talent to have fun.

[BigDPW]

Looking forward to the updated mod. Have an old save from way back in this mod that I have been playing as SWF. Thinking of starting a new save and holding out for now to see if this newest update will be out soon!

Thanks for all your work on this!

[The Blonde Bomber]

Originally, I planned to wait until all the renders were changed to AI before releasing the next update. However, I've realized that this aspiration would delay the release until late 2024. So, I'm considering releasing a "Part I" update as a holdover until all the AI renders are completed. This update will include many of the AI renders, along with a litany of other additions and changes. This way, the wait will be easier to sustain.

I downloaded the most recent version yesterday and played around with it. I appreciate your work on it!

One quick thing to check for possible correction:

SWF faction - Streets Family has Dusty as Leader when I would assume his dad (Rocky) should be. Though I could be wrong and this is a very minor thing that doesn’t affect much in gameplay.

Yes I noticed this and it will be changed for the next update. One thing I’m having trouble with figuring out is stables. Early on in test saves Hagar becomes the leader alongside Ares in The Titans and I’m unsure how to stop that from occurring.

Damn, there is even histories of all the workers in every org in the game, great work.

That’s actually what led me to start the update. I wanted to add job histories and that turned into updating everything.

[guetguet]

Selfishly I think this is a great idea, I've gotten spoiled by the default databases re-rendering so it's quite jarring going back to one of my favourite databases and it being the default art style

[The Blonde Bomber]

I am doing watchers now to make sure everything is running smoothly. I expect to release "Part I" within the next week, or at least by the end of April.

[Capelli King]

I played after the update and it is working very smooth, great work.

Pumped for whatever the next update brings, Bomber!

CV 77 2.2 Update (PART 1)

 

-Special thanks to Willr0ck, Idolized, John Lions, Arlovski, Waltersobchak, Hollywoodshinebox, Christian Shane, Stennick, BigPapa32, Schmoe II, BigDPW, and Atticus for AI Renders added in this update.

-76 New Workers added, Rusty Swan (wrest.), Dick Donovan (wrest.), Doug Donovan (wrest.), Don Donovan (Wrest.), Danny Donovan (wrest.), Jim Donovan (wrest.), Red Sloane (wrest.), Samir Khan (wrest.), Mr. Hannibal (Man.), Jimmy Streets (wrest.), Eesha Patel (wrest.), Bruise Borowski (wrest.), Strong Man Boris (wrest.), Gil Shaw (wrest.), Alexei Kamaroff (wrest.), Nigel Garfield (wrest.), Dale Garfield (wrest.), Muhammad Singh (wrest.), Steamboat Wally (Wrest.), Sam Davis (Man.), Pete Cassidy (Wrest.), Ernie Todd (R.A.), Utah Carolack (Wrest.), Bob Turner (Wrest.), Woody Marshall (R.A.), Richard Marshall (Wrest.), Billy McClain (Wrest.), Slim Jim (Wrest.), Claude Tillet (Wrest.), Barbara Beaty (Man.), Chief Black Elk (Wrest.), David Full Moon (Wrest.), Colomba Kilkenny (Wrest.), Werner Summet (Wrest.), Brandon Shaw (Wrest.), Diamond Darnell (Wrest.), Reed Schlensky (Ref.), Guy Rosary (Ref.), Stan Killebrew (Wrest.), Bucky Beane (Wrest.), Steve Whitney (Wrest.), John Nolan (Wrest.), Johnny Montague (Wrest.), Rube Vidal (Wrest.), Freight Train Ferris (Wrest.), Herb Dott (Ann.), Jake Deccaman (Wrest.), Mana Mofu (Wrest.), Vito Caldero (Colour, Ref.), Kerry Smith (Ann.), Johnny Gondell (Ref.), Johnny Montague (Wrest.), Michael Donovan (Wrest.), Jackie Donovan (Wrest.), Ginger McKinney (Wrest.), Abe McDonald (On-Screen), Angel Dust (Man.), Dan Kalt (Wrest.), Ridley Barnes (Wrest.), Yoshi Kuroda (Wrest.), Dingo Jack (Wrest.), Banri Tokunaga (Wrest.), Koji Arakawa (Wrest.), Kenji Takano (Wrest.), Paul Ulfding (Wrest.), Terry Ulfding (Wrest.), Diablo Armas (Wrest.), Noah Nance (Wrest.), Eddy Hallman (Ann.), Bobby Owens (Wrest.), Olay Soler (Wrest.), Earl Gilbert (Wrest.), Akio Akinawa (Wrest.), Hiro Oshida (Wrest.), Momo Nagaguchi (Wrest.)

-New Deceased Workers, Dick Holtz (wrest.), Janos Meggyesfalvi (wrest.), Omaha Sharp (Wrest.), Rafael Torres (Wrest.)

-AI Renders have been put in for many workers in the database along with skill changes to more accurately represent the renders.

-Multiple companies have updated logos, titles, and event renders.

-Added PCA, TWA, ASW, MAS, WRW, KRBO, NJWF, & MWC to closed promotions at the start of the game.

-Titles have been added to give history to closed promotions added in this update.

-Minor cosmetic details touched up, including name changes, nationality changes, size changes, among others.

-Thanks to assistance from Darkness94, there a more wrestlers with Polish heritage in the Great Lakes region. With that, I decided to add a new promotion out of the Great Lakes run by Howard Sunnacker (fka Coyne) called Great Lakes Sports Club (GLSC). They have a history stemming back to the 30’s. In modern times they are struggling to stay afloat with an insistence on booking the same old talent as always, which is leading to diminishing returns.

-ETPW (Ernie Todd Pacific Wrestling) is now added to the database as a North Western-based U.S. promotion. This promotion has gained a reputation for poor payouts and a manipulative promoter in Todd who tries to swindle his workers. As the 70’s come to a close they are in a poor position with a closure likely imminent.

-WSW has been turned into Black Bear Promotions (BBP) to give it a more expansive feel. They formed via an exodus of ETPW, by Todd’s top star Papa Bear Reilly.
