6 sided ring

[Fatal Charade]

Is there a way to make the 6 sided ring that GFW and CMLL uses in this game? Also is there a way to use mp3 files on my hard drive as entrance music for the wrestlers?

MP3 support will be added later. Those rings would be pretty tricky to do using Fire Pro's isometric engine, wouldn't they? I guess even if its just for appearance it would be a plus for fans of those promotions. Edit: Right now there is no way to change to a six sided ring.

I figured they could do the 6 sided ring considering they use the octogon for the MMA fights.

They don't use an octagon, though. It's a twelve-sided (dodecagon) cage. They added sides so as not to run afoul of UFC.

But with the six-sided ring, it's a matter of the mechanics, namely corner moves and irish whips, being built specifically for the default ring setup. Irish whips and corner moves don't exist in MMA fights, so they can have whatever shape cage they want. To do a six-sided ring would mean a complete overhaul of the game mechanics so things work differently based on which ring you use. Not only that, but every running sprite would need to be redrawn at slightly different angles in order to run off of each of the ropes.

For a 3D polygonal game where the camera can be at any angle, where there are no sprites to have to redraw, and where you can throw your opponent in any direction, a six-sided ring is far more simple to implement.
