Real life has been a bit hectic but I'm hoping to get more work done on this soon. I will probably release another interim update rather than wait until all bios etc. are done because I've added quite a lot of future workers (and companies, although I need to do their logos still). I'll see how I get on over the next couple of weeks and see how I get on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd1 Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 I'm going to release a new alpha in a couple of weeks. I've not had as much time as I would like to make any major changes, but there's a few things that make it worth releasing as an interim. The change log, so far, is below: Quote Version: Alpha 3.00 Change Log ============================ Minor amendments to birth dates for wrestlers as completing bios Amended Gary Young's birth year to 1955 Amended location requirements of Syndication broadcasters Changed Precious from Male to Female Remove Steve Keirn contract from CWA (he left after about a week) Added contract starts to ASWUK, CWA Set WCCW TV show to be taped 2 episodes at a time Set PWF World Heavyweight and NWA United National titles to Primary level Turned Jack Hart (Barry Horowitz), Jerry Grey and Lex Luger heel in CWF Turned Jesse Barr babyface in CWF Amended Boston Blackie's debut date to August 1986 (from WrestlingData) Added Strong Friendship between Bobby Kay and Hubert Gallant Added Kendo Nagasaki & Barratt tag record (with * for deletion if preferred) Renamed Bobby Dee to Bobby Driver Added The Della Serras tag team record Added the Fabulous Kangaroos II tag team record (Don Kent & Bob Della Serra) Added protege relationship between Bull Nakano and Dump Matsumoto Amended Bob Roop's age (born 1942 not 1947) Added narrative for Bob Roop's 1988 car crash (marked ** for deletion if preferred) Added Strong Friendship relationship between Lars Anderson and Bob Roop Reduced SQ and Charisma of the lesser-known female wrestlers on WWF roster Added Ken Mantell to UWF roster Set Ken Mantell to be UWF booker (instead of Eddie Gilbert, who booked in 1987) Turned Buddy Colt babyface in CWF Added Hard Drug User attribute to Buddy Landel Added Heavy Drinker attribute to Bullwhip Johnson Added Buddy Lane to AGPW roster Added Manager role to Buddy Rogers Changed Bill Dundee's nationality to Australian Added Billy Travis & Jeff Jarrett tag record Added Hot Property tag record (Billy Travis & Ron Sexton) Changed Brian Armstrong's debut date to October 1991 (post-Marines, sort of) Added Wild-Eyed Southern Boys tag record (with * for deletion if preferred) Added Doom tag record (with * for deletion if preferred) Set Ben Bassarab's nationality to Canadian and base to Alberta Set Bill Eadie's UWF contract to have a Great mask Deleted Randy Taylor Reduced Bill Tabb's star quality to 25 Reduced Pat Tanaka's star quality to 40 Amended Charlie Platt's age (still estimate) Changed Vivacious Veronica from Male to Female Removed wrestler role from Toshitsune Shinma I've also completed bios for all active wrestlers under A and B (it's a long old process!) and added any relevant alter-egos to them. Not all have images at the minute, but hopefully I'll get chance to do most of them before release. Luchawiki's on-and-off status at the minute isn't helping with the luchadors though! I have also added in the following new Yet to Debut promotions. Some of the smaller promotions are set to open randomly, or to open randomly between two dates, both to provide some variation to games and to allow it to consider whether there is space and a requirement for promotions to open in those areas. Quote Americas Wrestling Federation (the Puerto Rican promotion) Border City Wrestling Dramatic Dream Team East Coast Wrestling Association Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling Fratton Wrestling Association German Wrestling Federation Hammerlock Wrestling HUSTLE IWA Puerto Rico Jersey All Pro Wrestling Maryland Championship Wrestling Mid American Wrestling Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federatoin Northern Championship Wrestling NWA Wildside NWA: Total Nonstop Action Prairie Wrestling Association Premier Promotions Promo Azteca/PROMELL Pro Wrestling NOAH South Eastern Wrestling Alliance Southern Championship Wrestling Southern States Wrestling Texas All Pro Wrestling Toryumon Toryumon Mexico USA Championship Wrestling Westside Xtreme Wrestling Windy City Pro Wrestling World Association of Wrestling World Wrestling Association (the Mexican promotion) World Wrestling Syndicate Xtreme Latin American Wrestling I do need to do logos for a lot of them, but most shouldn't take too long. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stennick Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I think we can all sympathize about not having the time to accomplish the things we want. However this looks like a massive list of things changed and as you said certainly worthy of a new release. Looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd1 Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 Finishing up the logos (hopefully this weekend) and then will get a new alpha up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the minute I'm doing logos for the new promotions as they were when they debuted. The plan is then to get back to finishing off the current workers and the future worker adding. I'll do logo "agers" at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase317 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I truly anticipate and appreciate your work on this mod. I've known of, and messed around with TEW for a very long time, and always desired a mod from this year. I've tried to use the 1985 and 1987 games to get close, but I've never been satisfied with the results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd1 Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 Good news is that the logos are pretty much done. Bad news is that I'd forgotten that I hadn't set the new companies' products and owners yet though so there will be a slight delay but only until tomorrow (all being well!).

You can't have agers for TV shows unfortunately but I'll probably do a different TV set at some point and players can manually change if they want. You can, in fact. Using broadcaster changes you can change just the tv logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to TV show logos (like the logo for Superstars). The broadcaster logos have indeed been changed over time (although I kept the same border).

Jugg Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 JCP has Chi-Town Rumble & Capital Combat set as Season Finale. WCWA's Cotton Bowl Extravaganza should be set in the Cotton Bowl (or at least in Mid-South). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhd1 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Apologies in advance for anyone who thinks this is an actually useful update, it's not! I've been waylaid with other projects which haven't left me much time to do this, although I'd like to finish it one day. I have removed the "ALPHA" from the thread title, simply because I think it put some people off despite actually being very playable. If it did, give it a go! I've never been asked about this so I've never needed to post about it, but this mod is freeware. It isn't abandonware in the sense that I'm still here and will work on it one day, but if I ever vanish you don't have to wait three years before picking it up. It was always going to be freeware but I was going to make more of a thing about it when the mod was actually finished (or as close to finished as possible) then people don't start something and need to duplicate any work I do to fix/add to the current mod. However, given that I'm pretty far from being able to do anything substantial I'm offering this out now. It took a while so credit would be nice (better still, call your mod Wrestling Timelines: YEAR and we can have a series!), but it's not as if I'm not going to go and check. If anyone does make a start on a mod and has any questions about how this was put together or just wants to say hello, feel free to drop me a PM. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
