Triple Threat Wrestling

[cowboyvenus]

After a few months of doing this and that, I've finally got my focus and drive back concerning modding. This started out as an AKI save titled "The Monday Night War", which then switched to a hi-res project with the same name.... which was immediately thrown out the window when another one came along. So, much of the work sat and collected dust, I pondered a few other projects, but am now coming back to this one.

A while back I attempted a "Hardcore Homecoming" save, which was abandoned, but I still have my original work on that, my hi-res Monday Night War, and a bunch of other incomplete works, which I am basically merging together to present:

Michael El Guapo is making the arenas, and so far they are looking great! He's also helping out with the hacking duties, since he is a much smarter and patient guy than I am.

Update: Shane is helping throw down on random texture duties, since I am a perma-noob and need all the help I can get!

Update 2: Gaz has joined the team for random help, and K-Prince will be helping us replace some menu items. Thanks, guys!

What we are going to do, basically, is release the save in packs, as a few people have already done. The first pack will have 25 wrestlers, 5 arenas, and at least 4 belts available. Since I have over 40 works-in-progress on the backburner as it is, I'm hoping that the first pack will be released sooner than later. I have a ton of move sets done already, as well. The first pack will include two attires for every wrestler, some with a few details put in.

Example: Red and Yellow Hogan will have a different move-set than nWo Hogan, using wldfb's multiple move-sets per attire hacks. We will also be incorporating a few other things like that to hopefully add a fresh feel to the classic No Mercy engine. Now, will this save be the most innovative, ground-breaking thing to ever grace the No Mercy community? Of course not. But hopefully, it will be very playable and fun for people to look forward to every new pack.

Triple Threat Team: Flying Toaster, Michael El Guapo, Shane, Gaz, and K-Prince

Well, it appears no one here really cares about this, but I'm continuing on, anyways.

Here's some Arena Previews, plus, the first post has been edited with the roster and new name.

My friend Michael El Guapo is helping with arenas, since I suck at them.

Hello,
I am not fond of wrestling games but this looks promising.
Keep it up, dude!

After seeing this WCW Nitro screens it remind me of the good old Wrestling days with 3 great federations and storylines, that really mattered...
Now after the WWE is just about the E in their name, it really sucks. What a shame.
Keep up the work, but it still needs a lot more details!

That was the idea, I wanted something from the 90's when it seemed like the business was just booming, and there was such an influx between old vets, and new blood that made it exciting. Here's some previews of wrestlers. Also, can someone edit the title of this thread to "Triple Threat"?

I have more base models done, but not anything touched up and finished, yet. More to come.

Also, can someone edit the title of this thread to "Triple Threat"?

Done.
Some of them are looking great! But what about this Cel shading like outlines?

[cowboyvenus]

I only use those for previews. I just thought it looked kinda neat.

In-game it won't be featured:
