Somehow my list of Samoan men's and last names was erased. The program was uploaded like this as I didn't think that it was possible that it had been erased. I do not have time to whip out a quick patch for it right now. but I will as soon as tomorrow afternoon. My suggestion is to wait until tomorrow before you download it, but if you really want it, just don't have it generate any Samoan males or it will crash.

Sorry everyone, guess that'll teach me to not test it one last time before uploading.

I do have a few possible suggestions to add if I may ..

1) The ability to select a size for the worker.

These could be something along the lines of Very Small, Small, Lightweight, Middleweight, Heavyweight, Large Heavyweight, Super Heavyweight & Giant. Then, depending on the selection, the generator could assign heights, weights and builds within certain parameters.

Example - the user selects Lightweight, and the generator determines that the height will be somewhere between 5'8 and 6', the weight will be between 180 and 220lbs, and the build will be either lean or athletic.

2) Extended Templates.

How about the ability for the generator to select random moves and add them to a template moveset?

So, the user would select a template, then tick a box to allow randomly selected moves to be added to it. I appreciate that not all of the random moves might 'fit' the export, but the user could easily browse through them and remove/change any that don't appeal.

Obviously, neither of those are essential to the generator, but they came to mind so I thought I'd mention them.

I'm familiar with some of it, but most of what I'm familiar with fits pretty decently under the "Joshi" template.

Changelog for 1.5 (which will be released on Thursday).

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where Jobbers generated after a non-jobber with a nickname would keep the nickname of the previously generated wrestler.

- Fixed a bug where Gimmick wrestlers generated after a non-gimmicked wrestler with a nickname would keep the nickname of the previously generated wrestler.

Additions:
- Added a size template to the program. You may now pick between Small Female, Small Male, Average Female, Average Male, Large Female, Large Male, Giant Female, and Giant Male, and have the program generate an appropriately sized wrestler.

- Added Hardcore and Shooter templates.

- Added the ability to extend a template by having the program select between 1-10 more random moves. These moves will show up in move slots 40-50 to prevent overwriting any of the templates moves.

Here's a list of % commands that the program recognizes, and what it will replace them with:

%f -> finisher
%gen1 -> his/her
%gen2 -> he/she
%n -> nationality - (American, German, etc.)
%fn -> first name
%ln -> last name
%h -> home country - (USA, Germany, etc.)

So if you wanted it to be a possibility to generate a wrestler named
Kevin "The Master Of The Powerbomb" Jones, you would enter

%fn "The Master of the %f" %ln

Pretty simple huh?

Planned for the next version is better random move generation, so no more 500lb. guys doing a 450 or shooting star press, and no more 120lb. guys doing a gorilla press slam.

I haven't really tested any of the wrestlers out that the program created yet, but that kind of sounds like some of those obscure wrestling simulators like Zeus back in the day, LOL, and not to mention in EWR having Rey Mysterio doing Death Valley Drivers and powerbombs, and to The Big Show nonetheless.
