And we close it out with 3 Count and Disco Fever as we should.

But that was seriously such a fun couple of days to spend. They raised so much money for the CCS (beat their old record by nearly 10k) and they put on so many fun matches.

In my 1999 TEW game, the AI booker of WWF booked HHH to beat the Rock for the world title, and then immediately after that win the Royal Rumble

HHH broke his leg in the Rumble and will be out of action for 11 months.

Edit: And a week later Chyna dumped him.

Was the booker AI HHH? Getting dumped by Chyna is pretty brutal though. RIP The Game

Some random Fire Pro news from the Arena discord.

- Carlzilla was digging in the code and he found out that there is a hard limit on the number of wrestlers you can add to your roster...that number is 10,000
- He also figured out a way to do custom ring mats and aprons. People are already running wild.



http://www.fpwarena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1470

quote:

Updated to include the Ring Mat Database feature.

This allows you to modify ring textures without having to mess with any sort of 3rd party texture replacement tools. It also allows you to have more than one ring texture.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE:
In order to use the ring mat database you need to ALT-TAB from the game and find the Ring Mat Database window in the PWGR window.

You will then need to create an entry for any ring you want using a custom texture. To do this hit the ADD button under the list to the left of the database window. This will add a generic entry.

Select this entry and select the created ring to use from the top dropdown list. If you have not created the ring yet, you should do so now, and then when you've saved it, come back to the Ring Mat Database window and hit the "Update Ring/Image List" button on the bottom right hand corner of the window.

After you've selected your ring, you'll need to select your texture in the second dropdown list. The first time you run the game with the mod installed, it will create a folder called RingMats in your default FirePro directory. Place any ring texture files in this directory. They should be in PNG format, and 1024x1024 in size. The default texture was posted in the Texture Modding thread, I recommend you use that as a template for all your custom ring textures.

Once you've created the Database entry, all you need to do is select the ring when starting a match and the correct texture will automatically be applied.The game will save the database when it closes, so there's nothing you need to do in order to save your changes.

(i'm not sure if this will break like the rest of his mods every time there's an update. at least he's quick with the fixes)

They want to do it, and someone found an unfinished version of it in the code, IIRC.

I wouldn't be surprised if that and the crowd sign maker is one of the final content updates. It seems like most of the stuff that Carlzilla has found is incomplete stuff for features they plan to implement down the road. Like the unfinished arenas with their own match scoring makes alot of sense when you know they're doing Management Of The Ring.

Watching the Royal Rumble-thon nL did made me a bit disappointed that you can't do that properly in FPW- I'm not sure why they couldn't have the same rule the 2k games have where, if you have the max number of people in the ring, the countdown pauses until someone's eliminated, so there's still a 30 (or whatever) queue. There's really not much point doing an over-the-top-rope kind of battle royal if there are only 8 people to start with.

Hey, Johnny, what's a "shitpost"?
Suspect it has something to do with the way it loads sprites into the engine and some antiquated thinking regarding memory usage.

Catching up on the Rumbles I missed and my god ECW babies may be the best, because it's an actual thing the game lets you do.

I will say this for Anarchy Rulez if it is the second ECW game like I think it was. Piece of poo poo rehash of WWF Attitude it may be, they at least had the sense to greatly simplify the Mortal Kombat style controls in it. It didn't make it a good game but it at least made it a little more playable.

They mentioned this was a possibility during one of the Twitch streams...but they also mentioned other things were a possibility before 180'ing on it at a later date so who knows. Hopefully we get some more answers this Wednesday.

Carlzilla announced v3 of his ring mod.

quote:

Updated to include V2 of the Ring Mat Database. This version allows you to change the texture of the turnbuckles and ring posts.

Updated for V3 of the Ring Mat Database. This includes custom name plates for entrances based on the selected ring.

http://www.fpwarena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&p=43165#p43165

There's also people putting together tools like this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HhyXW_jJIU

quote:

I've gotten some messages where there is confusion with how the mod works. Unlike some of the other tools out there, this actually kicks off the matches for you inside of FPWW and records the results back to its database. It loads all of your wrestlers and custom rings automatically, you setup the matches in the mod's interface and tell it to start the show. It will then execute your matches in the actual FPWW game and when the results screen comes up, it hooks them back in to the mod's database so you can recall the results of all of your shows. You can even tell it to replay the match exactly as it happened.

I think the best new of the game is the commentary has been scrapped and they've been forced to make fresh lines with Graves/cole (and Byron I think?). You can here some in the 2 entrance vids.
