New Plugin Planned: Yet to be named!

Well I finally tried the FCA Cubed and found it extremely bugging. I was thinking about it and I think I could make a better one. Then more I thought about it I could make the ultimate card pluging by joining my 3 plugins in the works with my version of the FCA cubed.  Here's a run down of all the features.

Arena Plugin;
Has all the features of my current Arena plugins but with more countries.

Arena Editor;
This will alllow you to add more countries.

Backstage Action;
Will work much like the FCA cubed does except it will be for attacks. It will also have a GM function where you can have a wrestler choose to request a match or a title shot or you can choose to have the GM make a decision on someone behavour on the last card, Fine, Suspension, etc... The conversation will be randomized and so will the outcome be. And depending on how you create your GM will tell it if it favours heels or favour Faces, etc...

and my version of the FCA Cubed;
All the same feature of the current FCA Cubed except with alot less bugs and a couple new features. New features includes Actions on starting the match!!, Injuries, more features on how the match ends(Pinfalls, 10 Counts, Elimanations, Actions,  retreive item from top of ladder, ETC...) and it will allow up to 4 men at once wrestling or 4 teams at once wrestling.  So you will have 4 way dance elimanation or how about a 4 Team TLC Match!!!

It will be all in 2 Plugins, an Editor that will run General Plugin and a Match Plugin that when started it will give you the option of GM Office, Backstage Action, Interview, Card Information(Arena) or the match of your choosing.

I have everything planned out to a tee and I should be able to get the first beta out in about a month.

Let me know what you guys think and if you guys would find it usefull. Also if you have a name idea or any suggestions please tell me.

Also this will be a Windows based plugin so it will also be compatible with the TNM Windows version if there is one in the works.,

Oh God yes - finally, an arena plugin where the attendances aren't all 10,000 and I don't need to edit anything if I want to have a show in Europe (I mean Australia - what the hell were they thinking, how many people have shows in Australia?)

That is provided it works...I have found that after adding an arena it uses the last capacity in the arena.dat for every single arena in the entire file.

EDIT:
I just realized that sounded kinda bitchy and smarmy...I didn't intend it to be that way at all...I just wanted to point out a possible bug, and I commend Ryan on all the excellent work he has done so far.

Finally a Backstage Plugin. One that the GM can levy fines & suspensions on wrestlers who get out of line or no-show for matches.

We've needed an Arena Plugin with updated arenas, with more countries. That's good Ryan, because some members have wrestler exports from FWA (Frontier Wrestling Alliance) out of England, but only one problem. In the Arena plugin, NO ENGLAND or EUROPE. We've been in need for an Arena Plugin for a long time.

Finally, we needed an FCA-Cubed Updated Plugin for a long time. No offense, but alot of those FCA-Cubed plugins do have bugs in them. Thanks Ryan, you're doing a great job.

Carlzilla, I'll check into your bug. Can yoou give me the details like the arena you added, does it show 10,000 in just the editor or both? could you check your arena.dat file in notepad and see if it shows all the arenas with that same capacity in there. let me know, i don't like bugs in my program.

All the correct information shows up in both the Arena Editor and in the Arena.dat file...the only place that the information is incorrect is in the results of the arena plug-in.

I added almost 100 new japanese arenas with mostly correct capacity and I just can't seem to get them to show up correctly in the game.

Also I found that if I pick a country that I have not added an arena too, such as Austrailia the correct information is shown. it appears to only happen when I choose a country that has had an arena added to it.

So it's a bug in my old Arena plugin. Unfortunately I don't have the source code for it anymore so you'll have to wait for my new one. If I get the arena part done first which it is almost done, I'll send it to you you. Can I ask for a favor though? Is it possible for you to send me you updated Arena.dat file. That goes for anyone who has updated there's. I want an updatedd file when I release my next one.
My email is ryan@pcotaku.com

Thanks guys,
Ryan

There's an easier way to do arenas and backstage segments.  Just use the interview integrator and write them yourself.

Although it's a good idea for a plugin.

CarlzillaPosted on 02/10/05 at 09:09:16

I actually like the 'random' element of suprise to the arena plug in, when I see how many viewers I have and how many seats I filled. I don't really see much use for the backstage aspect as I don't care for american wrestling a whole lot...but the arena portion is excellent.

And yes I will send that to you as soon as I finish adding the rest of the arenas on my list...I'll try to get it done sometime next week.
