Just to add onto this a bit, maybe work in a risk level type of scenerio. Where you can differentiate between an ECW type circuit and a WWF/E type circuit. The hire the risk level, the worse the bumps and more garbage used (i.e. stable guns, lightbulbs, and such). Dunno if that's possible with this program, but it'd be a neat feature.

It seems like no matter what finisher (and maybe non-finishers too?), the wrestler can move out of the way. Here's a good example...

Undertaker tries to last ride Rey Misterio through a table, but Misterio moves out of the way.

That's not right (and not just because of glass ceiling jokes)...

I do ask you to please check if the Last Ride has the power bomb set up as its alias in the move database. TNM 7 does check every finisher against the move database. If the finisher exists in the move database AND has "opponent must be on mat" unchecked, there won't be any moving out of the way of the finisher. At least that's what can be deduced from the code.

Could you please check and let me know?

But since there's only one line for "name," not two lines for "first name" and "last name" entries, this would be a total overhall. So until TNM 8 ;) , I guess I'll have to just deal with:

"The Hitman" Bret Hart

Eric, you'll like the upcoming new version of TNM 7. It will allow you to customize many things during match processing such as the probability of a pin occurring when in a submission move. That should satisfy all parties.

1) The ability to use title belts as a foreign object.

2) When a wrestler gets injured, depending on the severity of the injury, he will be more prone to reinjuring it.  It may also affect his move choice.  For instance, if someone breaks his leg and then comes back, he might not be as willing to do a move from the top rope.

3) The ability to make a circuit with more old school rules.  For instance, a flag to make throwing over the top rope illegal, or maybe to make a specific move from the database illegal.  For example, a piledriver would cause an immediate DQ in a circuit.

-Top Rope: wrestlers will not do moves from the top rope or if they do it will be low probability & could cause a DQ.

-Throwing Out: wrestlers will have a low probability of trying to knock someone over the ropes, and if they did it could cause a DQ

-Banned Moves: gives you an in-circuit list of all moves in your Moves Database. Select move(s) on this list. While a move is selected on this list, a wrestler executing can get DQed. This would be in addition to moves that always can cause DQs (ex: low blows)

-Hardcore: all matches in the circuit default to no DQ, no CO. this could be changed, but that's the default. saves people running ECW/XPW/etc some time clicking boxes for almost every match...

Maybe some kind of options for lucha (all matches default to 2/3 falls) and/or UFC (all matches default to I-Quit Cage Matches). Although those would probably need match plugins to really be good for those types of circuits...

I'm a tournament freak. I just love running them and I'm one who is a stickler for seeding. If it's say a 16 man tournament I always place 1 vs 16, 4 vs 13, 8 vs 9, etc. based on how they are ranked in my stats.

If you were to try and implement such a thing Oliver, would it be possible to add a feature that automatically seeded it for you in that fashion based on your circuit's ratings?

2. I don't really see this happening automatically, sadly. If you want a wrestler to have an injury that serious, my best suggestion would be to alter their move list directly. For most, this doesn't necessarily mean removing some of their high spots. You can achieve the desired effect (unless I'm mistaken. Oliver?) by using the empty move slots to duplicate the more ground-based moves. This should (again, unless I'm mistaken.) make the high spots be chosen less often while preserving the general character of the wrestler's move set.

3. I like it a lot. Different circuits may have different moves that are illegal. For example, you might add piledrivers and the like to the list if several neck injuries occurred within a short span of time. If you were running a hardcore circuit, you could eliminate all the moves from the "illegal list." Maybe these functions could be assigned in the Referee database somehow? I don't know that I've ever seen a Ref export, so I don't think that it'd cause much trouble...
Eric "Critic of the Dawn"

This sounds good but the program would have to know which moves are done from the top rope...

One suggestion/loophole I've noticed is that sometimes mystery wrestlers can come in from another talent limited fed.   I had one wrestler, name escapes me, in my western fed for a while and one week, I hired some guys using the "m" key (the feds used "boxing booking" and indy rules) and up popped same said guy in the eastern fed.   Is this fixable?   Or has this been fixed?

Also, if setting a circuit "type," such as hardcore, is feasible, I'd like to see a "strong style" circuit type, or "king's road" or whatever you want to call it, as well.  What I mean is, an anti-hardcore style like Pro Wrestling NOAH, with no outside interference or foreign objects at all, including the aforementioned beltshots

Sad to say that for internal reasons changing the mystery wrestler function to collaborate with talent limitations is impossible at this point. If I get around it before the SE release, I'll redevelop the entire functionality dealing with mystery wrestlers - that's the only way to take care of it.
