Board 8 > 1006-verse: Soon to feature actual wrestlers [TEW] [TomMod] [Wrasslin']

(+) Yeah! (+)

1/6 (it's Cody) and the company setup, and probably just gonna get home after work and go straight to bed to fight this cold

we're entering a pickle, gentlemen, but at least it's a three-day weekend
---

;----; Take care of yourself, Tahm, yer health's more important than the mod. (hug)
---

y'know maybe we should stretch out the schedule a bit whatchy'all think? I've got three days of nothing but recovery and TEW lined up but IDK I'm kinda far in the hole and the schedule is kinda intense from now to the end. Plus one month (that month being December) is probably super optimistic for ALL of you to detail ALL your outstanding characters.

I thiiiiink I can catch up and if you all hit it super hard in Dec we can stay on track but....I dunno what do y'all think? Kinda a bummer to stay on pace for nine months and trip up a bit at the end, and fall/winter would be an awkward time to draft stuff but.....

CURRENT PLAN:
1-10 WWE
11-20: FA
21-22: Slammed
23-25: Avatar
26-28: MLP
29-30: Stardom
Nov: Disney, TNA, Puro, TMNT, Cartoons, Lucha, CHIKARA, Muppets, FA
Dec: Helper Turns (Tom's a musician in December!)
2019 Q1: Cosmetics/Playtesting
Q2: Finetuning
Q3: FWA DRAFT?!?!?!?!

SLOWER PLAN:
Oct/Nov: Same thing but no FA
Dec: FA
2019 Q1: Helper Turns/Playtesting
Q2: Cosmetics (hi lopen)/Playtesting
Q3: Finetuning
Q4: FWA DRAFT???
---

That's fine plus idk if fine tuning will take an entire quarter
---

@Lopen
@IhatethisCPU
two posts up wants your feedback as well

teeeentatively going with that plan which expanded a bit looks like
6: 5 dudes
7: Women
8: Staff
9-15: 5 dudes/day (including some additions)
16: Redetail
17-20: Avatar
21: Off day
22-25: MLP
26-28: Stardom
29-31: SLAMMED

ALSO we are probably gonna need to pad this roster a bit as well. Currently WWE is:
Cena
Batista
Orton
HHH
Edge
Punk
Bryan
Sami Zayn
Umaga
Kofi
Ziggler
Swagger
Rusev
Barrett
Show
Cody
Sheamus
Miz
Ryder
Santino
Khali
Henry
Hassan
Sandow
Jey Uso
Jimmy Uso
Lesnar
Carlito
Finn Balor
Shinsuke Nakamura
Big E
Xavier Woods
Sin Cara
Primo
Epico
Kevin Owens
Cesaro
Ryback
Braun Strowman
Dean Ambrose
Seth Rollins
Roman Reigns

Ronda Rousey
Paige
Brie
Nikki
AJ
Natalya
Charlotte Flair

Hornswoggle (Prs/Wrs/Mng)
Vickie (Prs)
Stephanie (Prs/Book/Occ)
Michael Cole (Annc)
Tim White (Ref)
Bob Armstrong (Ref)
Corey Graves (Annc)
JBL (CC/Occ)

Going off the Estimated Roster, we need....16 more wrestlers, 3 more managers, and 2 more road agents. @_@ We can probably get by with less than that, but let's see what we can think of.

Harper
Rowan
Balor
Hunico
Sin Cara
Kidd
Smith
Hornswoggle (switch from personality)
R-Truth
Dibiase Jr
MVP
London
Kendrick
Enzo
Cass
Chris Masters

is my kneejerk off like two minutes of thought and scanning my FA page. Bray Wyatt is in Umineko and 3MB is in KoF. For RA...Laurinaitis and...uh....DeMott? I dunno.
---

Are Fit Finlay and William Regal on rosters?
---

They're in WCW

Lashley works though!
---

I'm not sure we'd need an entire quarter for finetuning... could honestly probably do the draft while cosmetics are going on. ...Especially if we're going to make another DB specifically for the Draft results. Granted, all that'd be needed that is to change contracts and make changes to specific workers depending on how the draft goes. ^__^''

...WWE. ...Hmm. I'm sorta morally opposed to adding 'Swoggle to active competition without an actual minis divison. Largely because of the angles he was in, nothin' against 'Swoggle himself. I'd suggest Elias but that'd require statting him, possibly add more to the women's division since there actually is one now. "mella (As much as I can't believe I'm saying that), Becky, Sasha. ...But that'd also require stattin' them.
---

well those folks should probably all be put in anyway, it's just whether they'll be FA or WWE in most cases. Most of the unstatted people I feel okay about improvising stats when I put them in, so shrug.

Women's division is actually kinda where I want it in numbers, although I'm up for arguments to rotate some people in or out.
---

we COULD draft and cosmetics at the same time with two caveats:
-Lopen'd be pulling double duty
-we'd have to wait until cosmetics is done to make the draft db, which isn't the end of the world but will take a bit longer because I was planning on just editing stuff as we went
---

I could try to help with the cosmetics part. ...Would need to be taught how to cosmetics, mind, but....
---

really it's just cropping pics and writing bios
---

Cropping pics I could... probably do if I know the dimensions needed. ...Bios on the other hand, if you don't want them to have noticeable bias for... uh... certain people... is probably not a good idea, on the other hand.
---

up to you on the bios! (and lopen I guess since I consider him to be kinda in charge of cosmetics in general) I betcha Lopen doesn't know EVERY person in this mod so maybe you could do your more obscure people or smth

as for pics the nice thing is that they can be worked on whenever! Wifebolo is gonna do my guys. Everything's jpg.
People: 150x150 pixels
Banners (I am not sure where they even show up but they're for each company?): 500x40
Belts: 200x100
Broadcasters: Probably just gonna steal from 9000-verse, but 150x150
Events and TV shows: 150x150
Company logos: 150x150
---

...Oh, that... actually seems simple enough. Could definately do my guys. Managed to get Joseph working in my version of the database as a test, at the very least.

...Not sure about the rest of those, tho.

Don't wanna step on Lopen's toes too much, though. ...At least if he's not okay with it.
---

Anyway 5/5 today to get back on (the slow) track! never you mind that Miz and Slater only needed a checkup because they were already in
---

---

I'm okay with anyone doing cosmetics as long as they get done. I just dislike a lack of any of that being done-- makes the game feel too skeletal during play. I just seemed to be the only one who was super interested that's why I volunteered to do it. As you can see by my sluggish pace doing it I'm not exactly passionate about doing it MYSELF.

And yeah don't push yourself Tom if you gotta stretch it out stretch it out
---

(that said I'm feeling significantly better today, have tomorrow off as well, and am currently at 5.5/7 HISTORIC REVOLUTIONARY WOMEN for the day)
---

What pics do ya have so far? How much do ya need and who ya got done already?

...COuld I ask for the folder of pics you're using/have so far?

(Also YEYYYYY FOR FEELING BETTER! :D)
---

Wifebolo's I think are up on the dropbox. Lopen's are too but I don't know if that's up to date
---

I uploaded most of the pics somewhere on the dropbox. I haven't really done that many since then. I'll reupload (tonight or tomorrow) it just to be sure you're working with the most current copy
---

It'll be appreciated! ^_^
---

I will say next time I actually do significant pic work it should be a lot more streamlined. 3 monitors are pretty good for that kinda stuff.

But I have had 3 monitors since like January which should tell you how long it's been since I've gone hard on the pic mill. It's mostly been bits and pieces this entire year
---

that's really how to do it though, at least if it was me in that spot

trying to do it all in like the last month would suuuuuuuuuck
---

Well no I wouldn't do it all in a month but like... if I devote a solid 4 hours of one ambitious afternoon to it once per month I can get way way more done than I would with 15 minutes 16 times which has been more the style lately.

The process gets streamlined quite a bit if many are done at once cause you have GIMP all positioned and the process of search, open, crop, on rare occasion edit out the background and replace. Feel I can really get in a rhythm that way when I do that. Little cluttered on one monitor though.
---

man the more I research WWE the more I remember stuff that makes me not that sad to not really be following it these days. Hornswoggle is kinda yikes in retrospect, and I never liked the weird Tim White suicide thing to start with. Anyway, 5/10 so far. I switched Hornswoggle and Vickie to be mostly managers, and went with Laurinaitis and Shane as RAs.

Also I had the wrong Armstrong down as ref, so fixing that.
Also Corey Graves is now Color, not PBP.
---

But it's all still Tokyo!

Except Strange Journey.

Sorry for the delay I should be able to check the upload tonight.
---

no worriiieeees
---

6/5 for today (because I just cloned an Uso >_>)

I will start on this list tomorrow for WWE expansion so last good chance to object!

Harper
Rowan
Balor
Hunico
Sin Cara
Kidd
Smith
Lashley
R-Truth
Dibiase Jr
MVP
London
Kendrick
Enzo
Cass
Elias (can somebody stat him for me please I think I've seen about thirty seconds of him in action)
---

Elias statted quick-like.

...Might be issues with weather starting Thursday, depending on how strong Michael is when he gets to my area, will let ya know when I do, though.
---

Would appreciate a statjob on Abdullah the Butcher (under WCW on Sheet1) if somebody has a chance at some point- no rush at all on this one.

Currently at 1.9/5 for today.
---

I did Abdullah for you.
---

Alright so I uploaded the other pics I did in the structure I was trying to do it in under "people sets." So those combined with the zip up front, and wifebolo pics should be the extent of what we had.

Not really a lot added over the other stuff but that's what I did. I was pretty scatter brained in how I did any updates on my end. Was trying to do it one fed at a time but yeah as you can see I didn't really get a ton for any feds-- most of them are just stolen 9000verse pics. I'll do more updates over time but I figured to not duplicate work we should probably have some sorta system of what we're working on I guess?
---

Fair... we could divvy up which parts of the database each of us are gonna focus on pic-wise, to start. Set one to three feds we each plan to work on at a time, go from there? ...Probably a good idea to designate an area to put pics in, but the people sets and 1006-Verse pics folders work o that front.
---

BONUS DAY: +Dusty Rhodes and that's it leave me alone :\

also .9/5 so far on the day

also I'm really not sold on this weight system the farther I get in this mod. Dusty Rhodes as a Light Heavyweight is, uh.
---

no worriieeeeees tahm.

...ad oh dear ^_^'
---

I do!

y'know what WWF will proably want some padding too
---

...It's things like doing making Liz Bathory and Louis Armstrong's pictures right after each other which brings home how surreal this project is
---

we're gonna wind up at 4/6 I think but I bet I can catch up tomorrow

uh is anybody doing lucha underground
---

I'm prolly not, nooo.
---

I can shoot from the hip on it but it'll be like Stardom where only what I've seen is covered (in this case, I'll be finishing up season 1 about the time I get there)
---

7/7 yesterday and today we should make it too
---

2/6 so far

Entry #3200: Erick Rowan
---

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxSwtDgaQDk" data-time="

just a reminder that this theme was *awesome*

...Also, where do we want me to put my pictures? Worried about taking up space on the droopboox
---

shrug

2/5 bump
---

Survivor criers

WWE DONE

did a test run and WWF immediately raided them to heck despite being in an alliance together, and they dropped to Cult

.....I probably should have a problem with that, but it seems accurate enough....
