[MOD] MotW - an in-game card creation / tracking mod

[Carlzilla]

I know that FirePromoter is coming...but I figured I'd strip out all the "gamey" elements of a management mode and create something for people who only really want stats and record keeping...

This mod picks up where KactusKen's FirePromotion mod left off and adds to it, and while it isn't meant to be a rework of FirePromotion, I'd be lying if I didn't acknowledge the fact that FirePromotion certainly had some effect in the planning and execution of this mod.

The mod allows you to put together full cards, using a promotion's roster as set up in game (you have the option of using outside talent), and it tracks all those cards. It generates win/loss records on the fly, and title histories on the fly (for matches created using the mod). It also calculates average match rating and total running time for each card, as well as average match rating for each wrestler over their career in your promotion.

It allows you to run a full card of matches back to back to back without needing to set up each match in between. It also allows you to rewatch any match, and since the seed and all options will be the same, the match should play out exactly as it did the first time (provided you haven't edited the wrestlers since you ran it).

It's also got a few features that FirePromotion did not have, like the ability to run title matches and the ability to run battle royals.

This is an AWESOME addition! I won't be using it tho, since my pc doesn't run FirePro at perfection and I don't want more processes lagging it a little more (not saying it WOULD happen but better prevent). But I can see the utility and the appeal at the same time. Cheers!

Just ran my first 4 match basic card...

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread ! Thanks for all the work you do carlzilla ! This mod in particular just added immense value to an already amazing game for me.

Ive been holding off on using mods but I need this in my life.

[cackimon]

I need to look more thoroughly into all the mod info you are always providing. I think I've been overly cautious and avoided them thus far(even though they sound incredibly awesome) because I'm waiting and expecting major updates still for fire pro such as ui overhaul from the developers themselves. So I wanted to wait and see for the major official updates first (who knows when/if that happens) before diving into mods.

Is it possible to use this mod without using any of the other mods?

[Carlzilla]

yes, it's entirely separate.

[cackimon]

Can you play your matches or is it sim only?

[Carlzilla]

There's a check for control of either Wrestler 1 or Wrestler 4.

Cackimon (or anyone else), I was exactly the same way for months. I'd follow the posts and praise the accomplishments but was too chicken to try it myself. Biggest firepro mistake of my life since losing a PS2 save file. :) It's extremely easy to unmod and there's absolutely no reason IMO to delay the joy that is the mod suite. Once you're up and running, you can always run the patcher and hit the "unpatch" button, and as best I can tell, it goes completely back to vanilla unmodified. I frequently toggle between the two, only because some of the mods mess up the animation preview in the moveset editing. So when I'm editing heavily, I tend to do it on the vanilla game and then I re-patch and update my tag database, heels list, entrance attire, etc. all after the fact. It's honestly an extremely slick system. I know you see a lot of "my game broke" posts but those are people with corrupted data, often having nothing to do with mods. Back up your savedata.dat file and you should be able to jump in but be able to jump out if Spike puts something big out.

Modders are doing the Lord's work, I swear. Reading through the discussion of whether or not the game ought to have match/result tracking was nauseating with all the inevitable over-defensiveness from those who feel their baby's being insulted. This is exactly what was needed and makes a real statement about what players want, so thank you.

And please nobody waste their time with my non literal turn of phrase figure of speech opening sentence; just a disclaimer.

MotW update posted!

This update fixes the 2/3 Falls bug and adds a new feature in detailed wrestler histories.

Download link in the usual spots.

Loving this so far, really gives some purpose to having matches and creating direction.

Two things i've noticed are it doesn't seem to like Draws - the names of the competitors disappear in the results screen. The other was I had two titles defended on one card, and then after one edit won the World Title in the final match, it says he defeated the guy who lost a different title match previously in the card. It's correct in the edit's wrestler history though.

Very small items, overall this thing is rad as hell.

I fixed both of these issues for the upcoming update. It still doesn't really like draws, and only time limit draws will generate a match running time (due to limitations on the information passed to the MatchEvaluation class in cases of a draw).

Thanks for the report!

I keep getting a black screen whenever I'm trying to run a card. I couldn't paste the logfile.txt contents onto pastebin/github or any other code sharing site because my browser kept crashing whenver I tried to paste the code. So I've decided to upload the txt file itself to sendspace:

Just a warning, the file size is more than 100MB.

Try verifying your game files and repatching...something is WAAAY off for you. The error isn't even coming back to a mod.

I did what you told me to do. It’s working now. Thank you Carl.
