EWR 3.0 is now available~!

[Guest Thoth]

When I go into the File Editor and I try to do anything at all, I get:

 

Run Time Error 75

Path/File Access Error

 

I installed the game by unzipping it on my Mac, burning the folder to CD, and then loading the CD into my PC. PC has no net connection, which is why I had to do this. The game runs fine otherwise. Any solutions?

*laughs* Oh someone f'd up that blank scenario badly.

 

Here's the deal. THE only way you can create your own scenario right now (for EWR 3.0) is to have at least a single thing in that category. Meaning you need to have at least a PPV in the PPV section, a TV station in the TV station, etc. So thusly, you'll need one that has one and one only in each section... Thusly that blank doesn't "exactly" work.

I think you're misunderstanding... If I want to do so much as add a new worker to my existing list, I can't. If I click File Editor in the main menu, and then click anything at all, game crashes.

 

I want to add some SWF guys, but the damn thing won't let me.

*sighs* Ok. Firstly explain everything that you have done to your copy of EWR 3.0. Like what you have download for it, and what you have transfered and all that. I'd like the full info before I can help further.

[Guest Anglesault]

I'm trying so damn hard to get Albert to quit, but he won't.

[Guest SP-1]

Have tried deporting him to OVW and bringing him back repeatedly until he has zero morale? Often you can just release them at that point.

[Guest the 1inch punch]

once their morale drops below 40, theyll go quietly

[Guest fazzle]

Or just drop him to jobber. His morale will be 0

[Guest the 1inch punch]

Doin that with Triple H is fun, guaranteed

[Guest Thoth]

I downloaded the zip file and unzipped on a Mac. Burned the unzipped folder onto CD, loaded CD onto PC. Copied onto PC, ran game.

[Guest Anglesault]

I can relaese him anytime. I want him to walkout like Buff did.

 

He's a 0 over, 0 morale Tomboy Jobber who has spent five stays in OVW

[Guest Retro Rob]

I finally started my own promotion. Sadly my financial backers are Kevin Nash, Lex Luger, Michael Cole and Don Callis. We'll see how this goes... I will probably fail within two months, seeing how there are SEVEN promotions at National/Global.

Oh... You are a Mac user... Um hm... Ok, not sure what to do here. Have you tried going to the EWR boards and check the FAQ files? That's about all I can suggest for you Thoth, as I have no clue as to what to do for Mac user. My apologies.

Well, i got to Five with mine, beat that

[Guest Retro Rob]

For whatever reason, EWR no longer registers my house shows, so I'm missing a lot of money each month.

[Guest Vyce]

Okay, let me pose this question to you veteran EWR players.

 

I'm playing my own custom fed. Cult level.

 

I've just now gotten a SECOND TV deal. Can I last with two TV shows a week? Or will the production costs severely cut into my profit margins?

[Guest MaxPower27]

I would think so. I ran RoH as a cult with two TV shows. If you run a PPV every month, you should be fine.

Depends. It's really going to be a matter if you've got the wages distantly lower than your income.

 

Currently I started running a National fed at 15 (as my computer imploded), and have some big names (and paychecks) like Mick Foley, Rey Mysterio Jr., Lance Storm, Bret Hart, Sting, and even Tajiri (if you are wondering how I got those guys, I'm currently working on building up a diary). However, I offset many of those high pay guys with having 24 developmentals in 18-28 years range, that cost like next to nothing. Hell, I'm only paying out about three million in salaries.And about half comes from my active roster of 18 people (I've only got a late night show on Saturdays that only gets wacked by WWE's Velocity and kills every other show).

 

You gotta just make sure that you only cost your self little to nothing in advance. Just build on making some keen decisions on hirings, that you know you want, and you can afford. Personally, I find that you only need a second show when you can't book everyone on your roster at least once every two weeks. Then again, I'm working with a small active roster. Might be a different case.

 

Really, you just gotta look at it from this perspective: "do I really need another show?" and "will this show be actually beneficial to my plans that I have for my fed?" and lastly, "can I affordably do this?"

 

If you answer all the questions with "yes" then I say get another one. If it doesn't, then don't.

I've got a roster of 37 workers. My highest paid wrestler is Devon Storm at 65k. Of the rest, maybe a third gets around 45k, with the rest of the salaries falling between 27k to 36k. I would think that the salaries are low enough that the wages don't kill me.

 

I'm worried about how I'll book two shows a week.....but to answer one of your points, I'm NOT able to book everyone on my show at least once a week. I use maybe 20 of the 37 workers extensively (they're the most over), with maybe the other 10 on a rotating basis. 7 of my workers hardly get used at all. What I'm hoping to do is book one show to be my "flagship" program, where the other one will be my sort of "B-show" to showcase my younger and / or less over talent.

 

I appreciate the comments (and if anyone else out there has any more, please feel free to speak your mind). I think I'll give it a month, and see where it takes me. If I have too, I'll cut one of the shows.

Here's the thing about that.

 

I just completed my 3rd month - and the finale to that month, my big event, was my first PPV. When it was all over and done with, I made LESS sponsorship money than I did the prior month (running a large event as opposed to a PPV) and my production costs for the PPV cut my revenue down from something like a million bucks profit to just around half a million.

 

I'm debating whether or not to do another PPV until I reach national level (which, hopefully, I may do by the end of the first year). Any thoughts?

[Guest MaxPower27]

I always just ran the PPV, and dealt with a smaller gain for 2 or 3 months.

 

But, I did that out of realism.

[Guest El Satanico]

To book two shows I do an unofficial split. On my note pad I write down 14 feuds and then I split them between each show with 7 feuds per show. I also evenly distribute title feuds.

 

I do 7 on each show so I can have 7 matches and 4 segments.

If you aren't at National, I suggest keeping it at Large. I usually find that going PPV is only good at least 80% Cult+ and usually I don't bother with PPV in Cult. I save more money that way. Also PPVs give you a little boost in sponsorship money. Just so you know.

Understood, and thanks for the help.

 

I was debating it, and I think I'll just chill on having anymore PPVs for a while, until I'm either nearly national or I finally reach it. Alternatively, I may have around 4 PPVs a year....I tend to book my feuds to last around 3 months anyway, so I would use the PPVs every third month or so as a big event to blow off my feuds.

Actually, only having 4 PPVs at every 4 month intervals is a good idea at Cult. Maybe I should try that out. Might be neat to see how well it works out.

 

Well, good luck. Hopefully you'll be on your way to glory.

What causes the Overall Rating to be lower then both the Crowd Reaction and Match Quality? It's really starting to bring my shows down.

It can be either a lame announcing team, or a bad opening segment.

It's happening again, but I'm not having a bad opening segment or a bad announcing team (JR and Styles, the best in the game.). It's also happening more frequently, what's going on?

The production team, the refs, and I believe the writers also affect the match results. So have crappy staff and it won't let you bust out the 5* matches.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

I've discovered that if you open with a segment instead of a match that it seems to lower the overall match ratings later. Could just be a coincidence though.

The problem is that when you burnt it into a CD. When you burn it onto a CD, it automatically checks everything as READ ONLY. You have to uncheck everything(depending on the OS, can just choose top folder and have it uncheck subfolders/files), and it will work fine.

[Guest Lightning Flik]

Ok I downloaded RaveX 16 and used it. So I've now got a roster update. However, apparetnly, I can go to Workers in File Editor as it will not open. Can anyone explain why not?

 

Edit: Nevermind. Wait long enough and low and behold, it works.

 

Edit 2: Or... Not. Still having problems.

 

Edit 3: Ok... I just apparently have to repeatedly rap on the button to get it to work.

I have the best writers, refs, and productions crew that I can get that aren't hired by FLI or TNA.

 

 

And to Frost, I opened a show with a match, the ratings were screwed up. I opened the show with a interview, the ratings were screwed up. I opened the show with a segment, the ratings are screwed up.
