EWR 1998 Scenario [Work in Progress]


Recommended Posts

As some of you may remember, I've been working on this scenario forever. It still isn't finished. However, it's closer than it's ever been. There are over 1700 workers, 20 promotions, over 2800 relationships, over 500 tag teams, over 300 staff, over 1300 alter egos, and I've at least begun inputting belts, television shows, events, stables, etc. Sponsors are more or less complete.

The scenario is probably playable for a majority of promotions as-is, but there's still some work that needs done. I have many workers to add and a lot of research to do. If anybody wants to lend a helping hand, I'll start posting some questions here. But as for now, here is the scenario as it is, including pictures, logos, graphics, etc.

Please let me know what you think.

Oh, and a special thanks goes to DocPepper, Philahitman, Bill1996, Andrew (the guy who made the original 1998 scenario WAY BACK in the day), and a whole host of other EWB members who've helped me with this scenario along the way.

EDIT:

I'm thinking of removing WCPW as I can't find enough info about the promotion at the time to put a decent roster, come up with staff, etc. Most of the guys aren't even on cagematch, and the only events I've found on cagematch are from 1995 and 2002, not enough to create a solid roster.

Does anyone know what Victor Quinones was doing at this time?

WWC's roster is now at 32 and their belts are added. I need stats for their Junior Heavyweight champ at the time, La Ley.

Here's the latest update: http://www.filedropper.com/ewr199801282015

I cut the promotions down to 18 - It was just impossible finding reliable info on the rest, and I wasn't sure if they were operating at the time.

Logos/banners are done for the promotions in the game. There are at least 10 wrestlers on each roster (most have way more). I've added some more staff and edited pics and stats for them, as well as updated some stats for wrestlers and added a few. I have a list of wrestlers to add and staff to add, but I'm getting near the end of this thing finally, guys.

Here's an update - While the staff isn't done, it is sufficient (as in the analysis doesn't say there needs to be any staff added). There are 1763 workers, 18 promotions, 464 staff, 64 belts, 68 events, 510 tag teams... Still got quite a bit of work to do, a list of wrestlers to add for several rosters, and need to touch up pretty much everything, but it's getting there.

I did realize after posting that Harley Lewis was already in the game (forgot I added him), so I just added him to IWA: MS.

I need stats for the rest of those guys, if anybody has a suggestion. Keep in mind it's for 1998. Pics and everything else would be nice, too.

I'm at the point in the game where it would be nice to have these extra workers for the promotions, but they aren't 100% essential. Some of the promos ask for you to hire extra people but not many (usually 1 or 2).

I'm going to tweak some of the other things in the game (advertising and merchandising for the promotions for example, or the belt images that are in the game), but we're getting pretty close to a scenario I would be content with calling "finished", although I really want more staff for the smaller promotions (a lot of them are starting off with JUST owners - I know if we could find a show or something from around the era, we could at least get refs and/or announcers).

Music City Wrestling:

Frency Rivera

The name was "Frenchy Riviera" and he was played by one of the Ardens you have listed, so that's one you can cross off. The two Ardens had a tag team called The Centerfolds. They were two fat, bleached blonde guys doing a Playboy Buddy Rose tribute act. IIRC, their finisher was a double-team gutbuster.

I'm pretty Terry Golden used a superplex as his finisher too.

MCW isn't really memorable some 15 years later. :P

Love this mod. Just have a question...more of a request I guess. Do you happen to have any WWF or ECW skins? Nothing wrong with the WCW images, just wondering in case I wanted to do a WWF or ECW game.

Thanks.

I wish I did! I'm not a graphics guy at all. I'm barely proficient with MS Paint. Doc Pepper, who I don't think posts or even lurks here anymore, made those WCW graphics WAY back in the day when I was working on this years ago. I've thought about asking iDOL or somebody who's good with graphics about making some skins for the scenario, or if anybody wants to try, please do.

Do you have any feedback on the scenario itself? I'm going to be releasing a slightly different version of it tonight.

EDIT:

Here's the link to the most updated version I have, including some stats changes: https://www.sendspace.com/file/kxoy2s

Actually, I do have some feedback for this mod. To be honest, this is the best EWR mod have played so far. There are tons of staff workers from the real world and that is just something you rarely see in a mod. Usually there are just the generic fill ins with numbers, which is not a bad thing, but I enjoy as much realizm as possible.

The ONLY problem I have with this mod is not with the mod itself. It is just that some of the workers do not have pics assigned to them, when there are pics available. Like Teddy Long and Road Block of WCW(among others). But that was an easy fix.

Can't wait to try this new version out. What exactly are the changes?

If anyone has any skins to go with this to match the WCW one, that would be totally awesome. Sadly, I am just not good enough to create anything good enough to even upload.

Again, thanks for this nearly perfect mod.

Oh man, did I mess up some of the pics for the workers? Sorry about that. I'll have to take a look some time and get all those worker pics fixed.

As for some of the changes, for the longest time, I kept the stat caps for wrestling stats around 91-92. I decided to increase the very best in each stat to 93 and kind of change a few others as well. I bumped Eddie Guerrero's wrestling stats up slightly, for example; raised Benoit's tech to 93, Mysterio's speed to 93. I made some overall changes to wrestler stats to reflect some changes of opinion.

Hey Mancuerda, (or anyone for that matter) how hard would it be to go back one month, to December 1st, 1997? This would fall on a Monday, and I could book an entire month up to Starrcade 1997, to have it end the way that I want it to.

Not much could have changed, I wouldn't think.

Don't think it'd be too hard. Bret would've still been with WCW. I don't know when some of the others came over (Bulldog, Anvil, etc.) and you could double check any workers you weren't sure about regarding which side they were on (WCW or WWF).

You'd need to make some title changes, obviously, but yeah... Rosters shouldn't be affected too much. I'm trying to think of high profile wrestler deaths in December of 1997.

One thing I know I still need to finish are the Japanese touring commitments, so any help with that is appreciated.

EDIT: Finished the AJPW touring wrestlers, but there are two I need to add who are not in the game (yet): Rusher Kimura (Masao Kimura) and Satoru Asako.

Here's the link for the latest update, which includes all of the Japanese rosters for the wrestlers in the game: https://www.sendspace.com/file/qx9vnj

I'd say the scenario is virtually finished. There are probably wrestlers I could add if I had stats and pics, but for the most part, it is entirely playable.

As always, feedback is much appreciated.
