EWR has been released this morning!

[Guest The Superstar]

I guess it was their match from no Way out then, huh?

I guess it was their match from no Way out then, huh?

I'm sure it wasn't THAT good.

[Guest TheRockIsTheEuropeanChampion]

Do you guys ever jack up the stats of your wrestlers in File Editor before you start a game? I get kinda bored with EWR sometimes so I cheat like that and get four star matches out of Hugh Morrus & Shane McMahon.

 

Sure, it's not as challenging, but it's kinda fun... in a strange way. Seeing **** and ***** matches from the likes of Justin Credible and Haku (renamed Meng) is special in its own way.

[Guest The Superstar]

In my OAOAST game, Angle-plex is NOT a jobber, he's in a feud with MME for the USTV title

 

Anglesault and Alf are feuding for the World title. Caboose and Stone Cold are feuding, Superstar and BPP are feuding over the X Title, and CWM and Zack are feuding.

 

This is awesome. I made the OAOAST Network, with zero morality, and I made sponsors like OAT TOAST, OAOAST Magazine and OAOAST Home video with zero morality and $1m sponsorship cash, so I can push my risk to 100 and not be canned.

[Guest kingkamala]

whenever I get a scenario, the game never works, I'm doing everything right, like put the original data in the olddata folder and unzip the scenario into the data folder. Can anybody help?

[Guest El Satanico]

Quick question for those that made the WCW scenario...how much money did you give them? I was thinking the $100m limit, since they do have AOL-Time Warner backing them and everything.

I think i gave them 20 million more then WWF has to begin with.

I adjust them some, but i never drastically alter them. Sometimes i adjust the stats if they look like they are wrong. Ron Killings aka Kkrush before i renamed him to what he's now called has lower stats then he should have now so i fixed them.

If you are working with V. 1.2, someone talked about a data converter, so I guess you could look for that.

[Guest Bricks]

I HATE injuries... to people I'm planning on using and pushing.

 

I was going to create a WWF TV Title with Jushin Liger being the first Champion, but he gets injured.

 

I was going to make Big Van Vader and The Undertaker the most dominating tag team, but Vader gets injured for 5 months. So I sign Stan Hansen to replace him. A week before WM5 when Hansen and 'Taker are supposed to take on the Rock 'N' Roll Express, 'Taker gets injured. Crap!

 

And Hillbilly Jim got injured... but who cares about Hillbilly Jim. He gets the boot since his injury was the same length as his contract.

 

And the Ultimate Warrior (Over 80) is being an ass. He refused to put over World Champ Randy Savage (Over 100) clean. Thank God for the "Continue Anyway" button. So he jobbed his IC Title to Mr. Perfect (Over 90) at WM5, but not before refusing to job clean, of course.

 

On much better news, the Mega Powers EXPLODED~ to a ****1/2 match. Would've been ***** I think if Hogan's wrestling stats were up with Savage's. Oh well.

[Guest The Son of Sting]

I just went global with TNA, beating Smackdown in the ratings and only just behind RAW.

[Guest The Son of Sting]

How come NWA doesnt have ladder matches?

[Guest the 1inch punch]

Your Risk level isnt High enough

[Guest wwF1587]

Ok, I am fustrated in a way... I cant seem to get a 5 * match yet. I have this Rock/Angle fued goin... and the highest I can get with it is ****3/4! on the other hand my public image is at its highest now... my roster is way to big though... 100 somethin on it... gotta narrow that down

[Guest The Son of Sting]

What does the risk level have to be?

[Guest Bricks]

A Risk Level of 60 should do it.

[Guest kingkamala]

I have only had 2 ***** matches (both 1999 scenario), Rock vs. Mankind regular, and Rock vs. Mankind Falls count anywhere

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Version 1.3 of EWR is now out.

 

Blatantly stolen from this thread at WDI:

 

New stuff includes:

*I've added NWA Wildside, Heartland Wrestling and Maryland wrestling,

*added about 80 new wrestlers that i found off various indi sites, like

Jason Neidhart from Stampede, and the HWA crew

*10 new owners (Jake Roberts, Tully Blanchard, Stan Hansen, and some others

- no, there is no reason why i picked them specificially, i just thought it

was funny!),

*about 20 new sponsors (i realised that that was why a lot of feds went

bankrupt - there were lots of feds at regional level with low morality, but

very few sponsors for them - so the ones that didn't get the sponsors ended

up without any income),

*a new table that shows how your sponsors are split (by money and morality)

so that you can see if you need to add some,

*i've added the "notepad" button to the roster, finance, feuds and other

wrestlers screens,

*i've added a stable button to the booking screen,

*10 new angles (stable induction, stable kick-out, stable attack, stable tag

team attack, stable debut, "we're taking over!" (stable beat up commish),

midget impersonation, and some others that i've promptly forgotten about),

*changed it so that if you book a 6 or 8 man tag with a stable, the name of

the team is "Anti-Americans" rather than "Lance Storm et al",

*made the main menu look funkier,

*made it so that the "quit" button takes you back to the main screen,

*added an analysis button that tells you how many random people will be

created if you start a new game with your current database

*added an "owners button" to the file editor

*made it so that it is easier to sign people directly to your dev territory

*redesigned the belt screen slightly so that the date is given as "2nd

September 2002" rather than 02.09.02 (easier to see how long the reign is

then)

*Improved the "sophie telling you about feuds" bit

*had Sophie tell you what sort of talent level for staff that you could

manage at your current level

*improved the owners role, so that it really does work well (example - Dusty

is set as "old school" - after 4 months of my new game as RoH, i checked out

TCW and their top 5 were Windham, Rocco, Stan Lane, Steve Keirn and King

Kong Bundy - how old school can you get????)

*funny-as-hell moment - i've personalized Dusty Rhodes' "welcome" message to

new players. You HAVE to see it.

*redesigned the "company business" screen so that it is less cluttered

 

* plus all the stuff i've announced previously, like run ins for the save

[Guest El Satanico]

This update isn't a totally new game that you have to install over the old game and you can't play your save slots like the last update is it?

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Yes, it is. Not too bad for me, because I really haven't had time to play since 1.2 came out.

 

I don't know if this will work, but maybe save it to a different directory than where you keep 1.2? Possibly that can preserve the current edition?

[Guest kingkamala]

YAY, he has EWA guys

[Guest Mystery Eskimo]

Another version? Cool.

 

My current problem in EWR is damn Juventud Guerrera. He has technical skills of 80 something but he can't get better than a 60% match rating, even with Jerry f'in Lynn. Anyone else had problems with Juvy?

[Guest The Son of Sting]

Is there any way to add the new features to an excisting game? I dont want to wipe my NWA file.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

I'm afraid you'll be out of luck. Saved games can't be used in the new version.

 

I downloaded it to my computer here @ work into a different directory than version 1.2, and they both seem to work independently of each other, so as long as you do that you should be fine.

[Guest The Son of Sting]

Ok,thanks for that.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Another version? Cool.

 

My current problem in EWR is damn Juventud Guerrera. He has technical skills of 80 something but he can't get better than a 60% match rating, even with Jerry f'in Lynn. Anyone else had problems with Juvy?

Yeah, can anyone explain it?

[Guest The Son of Sting]

How over is he?

[Guest El Satanico]

I put my Juvi in a mini feud with Scoot Andrews to get Scoot over more. Juvi is 83 over and he had some good matches with Scoot and raised Scoot's overness by 20 in a months time.

 

 

I started a new game on version 1.3 because well i like stables. So i started a ECW and made two four member stables.

 

The Darkness(heel stable): Raven, Christopher Daniels, and the tag team of Kanyon and Sean O'haire.

 

The Light(face stable): Steve Austin, Corino and the tag team of JR Ryder and Jason Jett(ez money).

 

I may have to change the JR Ryder and Jason Jett if Kanyon and O'haire won't job at all to them.

 

I also may have refusing to job touble with my other planned main event feud of Steve Austin and Mike Sanders.

[Guest kingkamala]

I'm having Funaki join the Anti-Americans, then get kicked out later that night, hehe god bless Jim Neidhart

[Guest Insanityman]

Version 3.1 isn't up at the website, hrm. Anyways, my game is slowly progressing better and now the market is perking up.

[Guest Mystery Eskimo]

How over is he?

About 83 over so he should be fine. Stupid Juvy. I might start jobbing him out.
