EWR 4.2 APW Update Patch

[Matt Metal]

Now i know we all think we can book better than the boss, when really we probably can’t. However, we can try, so i am going to do a patch update for EWR 4.0 (old school booking sim) which i have updated up to last year, so with minor adjustments, its will be up and running. As for the roster, so you guys can be represented properly, just fill out the application form, and in a week or two the patch could be done.

Finisher 2:

So as an example, Nu Metal would be impact, along with say the full throttle.

Then any relationships you have. Examples like...
Wrestler is friends/Loves/Hates/Blood Relative with Wrestler 2

Holla Back and I’ll get updating the patch, and any pointer just hit me with ‘em.

if not, then you got to take Trevor out to dinner....

Speaks: Yes

I'm an old EWR mark so this sounds pretty cool. I actually did this once on the old laptop.


Full Name: 'Spirit' Tara Jacobs
Short Name: STJ
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Birth Month: July
Weight: Lightweight
Speaks: Yes
Nationality: British
Finisher 1: Supernova (Top rope)
Finisher 2: Desecrated Grave (Impact)
Gimmick: Daredevil
Disposition: Tweener
Style – Speed


Not mentioned, but STJ would have high ratings for stiff, selling, a slightly lesser rank for charisma, above half in attitude and behaviour and would have high spots, announcer and maybe trainer ticked. I'd think that she would be fairly over as well.

Stable: Church of Kaos
Team: That Team (with Diana Steel)


Diana Steel - Blood Relative (should be friends but that doesn't really do them justice)
Martin J. Singer (If he's in) - Respect*
Sara Jacobs (If she's in) Blood relative*
Trevor Blackwell - Loyalty (I know...despite the fact that she can't seem to stay in one of his stables...)
Hurricane Jeff - Loyalty
Kenny Lambardo - Friend
Matt Metal - Loyalty

*I can always add them myself, just thought they were worth mentioning since they were old WWC types.


Full Name: Victor Brander
Short Name: Victor
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Birth Month: November
Weight: Heavyweight
Speaks: Yes
Nationality: American
Finisher 1: Sharpshooter (Submission)
Gimmick: No Gimmick Needed
Disposition: Face
Style – Technical


As I did this for STJ, medium stiffness, high selling, above average charisma. High attitude and behaviour, shooting ability, announcer and trainer ticked. He's new, so not much for over.



For the benefit of others, there are tick boxes in worker statistics. They are: High spots, superstar look, announcer, shooting ability, diva, booker, fonz (cool) factor, menacing and trainer.

[President Jeff]

The only time I ever used EWR was for CWF and used its results for my results which came in handy when I ran 3 shows a week. Looking back, CWF looks pretty crappy compared to APW

[stj]

Justin, the relationships thing are out of character relationships which is why STJ's looks a little weird, it raises morale if someone you like is signed and they'll be very bitchy about losing to someone that they hate with a passion (and will bring up a bitchy moan if you even offer them a contract.

Zeus Pro (I think) was better for doing results but it took a lot of work to set up and it was purely for running a fed, not the whole competition thing you have with EWR. Still, it was a heck of a lot more versatile once you had the work done.

Gameplay and competition, you go EWR, flexibility for actually doing a fed Zeus Pro.

[President Jeff]

I download zeus pro once for a fed, put in some stats of people and when tired to do results, the programe kept crashing

[stj]

That never happened for me, though I do remember ten or so straight lines of the guys getting into and out of the ring or something like that. I think Zeus Pro would have been useful to shorten the time taken to write matches if the writer were willing to tidy the finished article up.

[Level-Two]

I've had EWR

Played it for like two weeks (I was addicted) and than it just got boring after...haven't touched it since.

[Matt Metal]

EWR to start with is fun, because back in 2003 you hand fun jobbing Jewberg, but it get's really fun when you start your own fed, or start from a scenario... best one i had was wwf starting jan 1998, got to march 99 and everyone was basically 100 over...

Oh and CWF results 5 years ago owned, not now....

[stj]

I was addicted myself, I generally take the reins of ROH, CW Anderson and Raven in a feud owned.

The bugger was that WWE kept breaking up my tag champs, I ended up disbanding the titles after the fifth time in as many tries at getting a team to have a run.

Where do you put scenarios in the EWR directory to play them?

[Matt Metal]

All you do is just add a new data file, but before playing the game... change your date and time to match the era.

so for 1998, you change your dates to match, etc...

might have some on my old PC, may upload them given the chance, even an old CWF one Jeff did, and maybe a WWC one, i will have to look.

["The Hottest Shit Going"]

WHAT the fuck are you talking about, I'm fucking lost with all the jibberish.

[Matt Metal]

n00b...

once you have imputted the data file, just go to the date and time setting, and change them to one month before you want the scenario to start.

example you want to start just before wrestlemania 1999, so you set your date to feb 1999, and it will start in march 1999...

[stj]

EWR is a game that has you in control your favourite company and competing against the other companies for talent, money and ratings. There is a file editor that allows you to add in wrestlers and companies and that is what Matt is talking about.

Matt, don't forget that a new game starts the month after the month on your clock, so if you want to start in March, your clock needs to be set for February.

You can download it from here - www.ewbattleground.com/

["The Hottest Shit Going"]

Thanks for clearing that up for a dirt bag noob like myself, the JESUS sometimes doesn't fool around with menial things like games, unless it's a game of pretending to be a wrestler in a pretend federation, and in a make belive match, kick the shit out of a Jobber and leave with his title then the JESUS is all in, anyways thanks Spirit and Metal for setting me straight.

[Matt Metal]

You could book that in EWR...

[stj]

If anyone plays EWR, this is the updated rosters with added federations as the start of May - www.savefile.com/files/1533641 - Just replace the data folder or if you want to keep the original, move the files in the data folder currently into a new folder

[Matt Metal]

Ah Damn, gunna have to do the update with this file.....

[stj]

June update is up if you've yet to start - www.ewbattleground.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t63982.html
