Hi folks,
I've been a longtime player of EWR and enjoy running promotions with multiple brand splits. Unfortunately, this means morale drops pretty fast for open contract, main event and upper midcard talent who are only working one brand so miss most shows. To me, that's unrealistic, so I use Arsenic to fix it. But I got tired of manually going through to change everyone to 100 morale every week, so I wrote a simple program which edits the wrestler.dat file to change the morale stat for every worker in a save game to 100 at once.
I realised that other players might have the same problem so I parceled the code up and am sharing it in rough-and-ready form here on the off chance that someone else might have use for it. Of course, you might not have the same issue as me, but just want a quick way to max out everyone's morale at once.
Disclaimers:
- You'll almost certainly get all manner of anti-virus warnings when downloading and running this, much as you do with Arsenic etc. It's old-school vb code to match EWR itself and modifies dat files so raises all kinds of red flags. If you don't trust it and don't want to run it, no worries.
- As far as I know this has no harmful effects on the integrity of worker.dat files, but I've only tested it on my own game and can't say for sure - as always BACKUP YOUR FILES regularly, and certainly before using this!
- If anyone wants to host this or post it elsewhere please feel free.
- Don't use this with any files other than wrestler.dat from a save game (e.g. 's1', etc., not 'DATA').
- Morale will still decline as normal after use - just run it again whenever you need to.
- If there's interest in the community in other similar utilities for the game, let me know and I might take a look.

EDIT: Thanks to @Mongo the Destroyer for noting that there are actually two morale stats - short-term (which shows in-game on lower difficulties) and a longer-term happiness stat that affects things like whether workers will negotiate with you. I've uploaded a new version 1.1, link above, which now maxes out both of those for all workers. One added benefit of this is that in one click you can now make all workers (including those who don't currently work for you) willing to negotiate with you, if they weren't already.
Cheers!
