Death of the Territories v1.0 Released

[Adam Ryland]

Ring Post Figure Four has been in CornellVerse move database for a while now (although you wouldn't have it if you've only been patching since 1.0), you could just import it from there.

 

I would recommend downloading the move database that will be available when the CornellVerse web site gets launched, as that has a bunch of new stuff that hasn't been seen before, like moves off the ring apron (although they're under the heading Plancha, you can accurately simulate Powerbombs off the apron for example).

[Dochappy]

sounds cool I'll definetly download the move update

[bruins72]

Heh, looks like a struck a nerve with the Jake the Snake thing!

 

Yeah, I was very young back in those days. I vaguely remember him in WCCW for a bit. I mostly remember him from his WWF days though. I was a preteen (maybe very early teen) at the time and whenever a heel did something to totally degrade a face, we went crazy. But hey... I thought George the Animal Steele eating turnbuckles was the coolest thing.

[sinner13]

George eating the turnbuckles WAS the coolest thing, so you’re not alone! I was 4 when this 1983 was taking place, and I can remember some of this stuff, as I have watched wrestling since I was a baby. My mom always told me my "real daddy" was either Elvis or Ric Flair. I guess my point was people take everything too seriously once they get older… Its OK to mark out every once in awhile.

A couple of things to keep in mind with this update.

 

I wanted to add more flavor to the Mexican promotions. With that, I wiped away all Piledriver/Leaping Piledrivers from every lucha moveset I could find. In their place, the Martinete and Invertido Martinete have been added. These moves, in essence, are Piledrivers - the big exception being, they are far deadlier and Highly illegal.

I have removed many lucha guys from being active in North America. This will prevent these illegal piledrivers from spreading outside of Mexico (and Japan) - in theory, at least. The special luchas, those that were global (Mil Mascaras), have no piledrivers at all in their initial movesets.

Now... this takes into consideration that the player will show some honor when working in Mexico. If you go in there with standard piledrivers, you will be taking advantage of the situation.

 

The second big change will be the touring schedules of the promotions. In general, I have sceduled the weekly 'on tour' events as falling on the same day; especially among the bigger promotions. This will hopefully prevent too many appearances by your worker, thereby slowing his stat/overness progression to a more reasonable level.

You'll still be able to work more than one promotion, mind you. You'll just have far fewer appearances than in previous versions of the scenario.

 

So - with that stuff in mind, I hope you enjoy it.

And be a peach... periodically edit Ted to come out of hibernation. The poor bear needs to support his family.

 

There will probably be one more touch-up update to the scenario, as I'm sure I may have missed a few things. Once that is out of the way, we're leaning towards incorporating U.K. and European promotions for a v2.0.

After that, it's on to the 70's for me. Playing as the Sheik in his heyday is too cool to pass up.

 

Enjoy!

 

(And you mistake ranting for seriousness, guys. There's a freaking bear in the game, for crying out loud! How serious must I be? Heh)

[bruins72]

Sweet! Looks like it's time to start another new game! Thanks for all your hard work on this mod. I'm really enjoying the chance to relive the days when I loved wrestling.

[Ultima]

Heh, something pretty ironic happened in my Benoit career. On Wednesday, it was Chris, Akio Sato, and Art Crews v Dr. Wagner Jr, La Parka, and George South. Then, Thursday's match for the same promotion was Chris, La Parka, and Dr. Wagner Jr. v George Sout, Akio Sato, and Art Crews.

 

I didn't ask to turn or anything, so I don't know why it happened like that, but it was pretty funny.

[D. Boons Ghost]

Yeah - the booking AI sometimes books some strange matches.

Playing as Gino Hernandez in World Class, one of my matches was Gino, Kerry Von Erich, and Buddy Roberts vs. David Von Erich, Michaels Hayes, and Terry Gordy. You can explain it away by saying Kerry and David were fighting to see who was the best Von Erich - but not one of the participants were turned before or after the match. So you had 2 Heels and a Face vs 2 Heels and a Face.

The next card, David and Kerry teamed up against the Fabulous Freebirds; Gordy and Hayes.

 

One of the weirdest ones I've experienced was playing as Nick Bockwinkel in a title defense against the Face Hulk Hogan. The AI somehow made Hogan into Thunderlips for that particular match, or something, as he was using the Heel Hogan moveset - heh. Imagine my surprise when the Hulkster started making fun of me midway through the match... it became obvious, though, when the big oaf nailed me with a Loaded Elbowpad Clothesline, went into his tights for a foreign object, which he raked my eyes with, then tried to knock me out with a Brass Knuckles punch.

I'm not sure what's in those Hulkamaniac vitamins, but he better cut down on them. Pretty soon the little Hulkamaniacs will be blasting their kid sisters over the head with chairs.

 

The next day I look, and Hulk is a face.

Was really weird.

 

Still... was an incredible match.

[Adam Ryland]

That just means he was turned for one match - the AI will do that if there's an imbalance in faces\heels.

[Rick Arnold]

This should be our last update, until we get enough information to add a new region.

 

At the moment, we are moving on to the '70s, as well as another secret project.

[bruins72]

I've had similar experiences with odd booking. When I started a career as Blade Runner Sting, about 7 of my first 10 matches were against my tag team partner, Blade Runner Rock. That's just a little too odd.

[Johnny_McSluggz]

Hogan is DAMN tough to beat. I went at it with him using Tatsumi Fujinami (Love the moveset, guys) it went 56 minutes, for a B+ but I still lost. I couldn't avoid all of those inverted piledriver attempts, and he finished me with the Big Leg. I got him in 2 crossfaces but he survived.

 

Andre also whooped my Fujinami ass.

[D. Boons Ghost]

Wow! B+ is fantastic, Johnny! Congrats on that!

 

The last update beefed up certain guys to more 'Epic' proportions, which I personally felt was needed. Plus, Mr. Ryland's 'hulk up' addition in the last patch really enhanced that nicely.

I've been having some titantic matches as Bockwinkel against the Hulkster, lately, and have really enjoyed the challenge. I can not wait for him to leave the AWA; I can finally have some peace, heh.

 

I have yet to get a B+, though!

[D. Boons Ghost]

An error with Jimmy Hart has been corrected and uploaded, as well as several minor changes - most notably to the CWA (Memphis) promotion.

 

Doh!

[Johnny_McSluggz]

Yeah, I was personally suprised with the B+ match, the only other B+ matches I've had were between technical guys with big "WOW" finishers, like the backdrop driver.

 

Have you been able to beat the Hulkster with Bockwinkel? I just can't keep that big boy down.

[D. Boons Ghost]

Have you been able to beat the Hulkster with Bockwinkel? I just can't keep that big boy down.

 

I've only beaten him in a fair fight once - out of the three matches in our series. 45 minute time limit bout, I beat him at 43 minutes with a Rolling Hammerlock after working on his arm the entire match.

I've had to get myself DQ'ed the other two times I've faced him, heh. Thank goodness Bock doesn't work in the WWF. I'm pretty sure I'll never see a no DQ title fight in the AWA.

[Tree]

so, i'm Gino Hernandez.

 

and i got bored in WCCW, so i had him quit. and he signed a whole punch of pay per appearance deals with various indies. and also a try out deal with the WWE.

 

Gino took on Tony Atlas, and was kicking his ass, but eventually got DQed. still, the best match of Gino's career.

 

i was looking forward to guiding him into matches with Dusty and Flair and Race and such, but the $4800 per month deal that the WWE is offering me seems like it might be too good to turn down...i presume if i take it, i'll have to cancel all my other deals..

[Johnny_McSluggz]

Probably my favorite match I've had in WreSpi, I was Fujinami I went to AJPW and asked for a feud with Tenryu 60 minute draw B match, it was so tight, I thought I was going to lose several times, and I thought I was going to win several times. Just a great match all around.

[D. Boons Ghost]

Gino in the WWF is a very interesting situation. If the WWF offered you a Written deal, if you accept, you're stuck with them.

Unless Gino quits on them down the line, of course, as he did with World Class (and just about everywhere he worked, historically).

 

Hernandez is an odd bird. It's pretty hard seeing him working for any major promotion, despite his amazing 'Sports Entertainer' personality. While he's young enough to be the lead heel for any promotion for years on end, his attitude is one of the worst in the game.

Personally, I would probably consider reuniting him with Tully (the Original Dynamic Duo) in Mid-Atlantic.

[Tree]

yea. i still haven't decided yet. i'll probably think about it and deal with it tomorrow, as i'm heading to the Ring of Honor shows in New Jersey in a few hours...

 

the Fed even offered him the deal as a mid-carder. this, despite the fact that Atlas badmouthed Gino to the powers that be....such temptation, just to see how it would work, but you're probably right in the fact it goes against his free spirit nature...

[D. Boons Ghost]

When you throw in the possibility of beating up Tony Atlas every night, the WWF may be too tempting to pass up!

 

I've a question for anyone that may know the answer: Were piledrivers illegal in Japan, as they were in Mexico? I honestly can not remember ever seeing a piledriver in a Japan match, so I am not quite sure.

 

(Edit: Once again, an error was corrected and reuploaded. Thanks to Socko for spotting it...

For anyone that has downloaded an older 1.3 and would rather not be hassled with such a minor update, Ray Traylor should be listed as 1962 for his birth year [doh] -- and the Face Slam into the Mat move should result in 25 damage to the victim's head.

Sorry to have that slip, guys.)

[The MVP]

I am so jealous.

[D. Boons Ghost]

v1.35 Update

 

* AWA, WWF, CWA/Memphis, World Class, and PNW roster tweaks to better align to specific time periods

* AI Rebounding Mind-set tweaked on many workers

Enjoy!

[D. Boons Ghost]

If anyone is interested in seeing what a very talented person can do with this scenario, I strongly encourage them to check out This Website.

 

One of our fellow forum members, Socko, has put together a visual diary to a Rookie-to-Legend career, using the DOTT scenario as his game world. It is simply amazing, in my opinion.

I am honestly humbled that something I created could inspire such a grand and entertaining project.

 

Well done, Socko!

[XellenceOfXecution]

Well done' date=' Socko![/quote']

I second that! That is absolutely incredible and I wish I was more computer literate so I could do something like that!!! I have no idea how that's done but if there's a program to share that would be awesome!
