Starting a New Mod

[Scotty_Scott]

Does anyone know a good place to get historical information to create a mod? I am looking to create a mod for 1975 is the reason I am asking.

[Mancuerda]

There was actually a pretty good 1975 mod made by Kris Classic:

As for historical data, I use a combination of wrestlingdata, cagematch, wikipedia, luchawiki, online world of wrestling, pro wrestling wikia, and just general Googling to compile info.

Thanks for the advice Mancuerda. I actually helped Kris with his EWR 1975. I am doing a mod of 1975 for TEW05. Might take a while, lol. But seriously thank you again.

[Mancuerda]

No problem. I didn't realize you'd helped Kris with the 1975 mod. I guess manually converting it over to TEW would be the easiest first step and then expanding upon it with additional info.

My three favorite resource sites are Cage Match, Online World Of Wrestling, and Wikipedia (With Lucha Wiki being awesome for Mexican wrestling). Wrestling Data is usually just for sorting out inconsistencies/discrepancies between sites, kind of a tie breaker or last resource I consult before making a final decision on whether to include something or change something.

I've got my hands full with my 1998 EWR scenario, but I wish you the best of luck and if you do need some help researching stuff I can try to lend you a hand.

Yeah, I tried to lend a hand with the EWR 1975. I was actually watching wrestling back then (I was 5 but still watched it). Those were fun times for me and my Dad. I guess that is why I am wanting to do it for TEW. I also thought some something else. I imported the wrestlers from D.O.T.T. mod. I thought I would allow workers as young as 17 to stay in the game. If it tells me later on that they are too young I can always take them out. I guess I am doing it more for myself than anyone else. But who knows I just might share it once I get it done.

Hey,

I don't really have anything to add, but just was wondering if you'd ever be interested in developing a mod based even further back? I'd love to play a wrestling sim based in the 1950s or even earlier. Seems like it could be a lot of fun and even possibly somewhat educational (I love reading about old timey wrestling). Unfortunately, I've never made a mod and don't have anywhere near the knowledge of that timeframe (though I'd be willing to contribute at least a little if such a project was undertaken).
