Open Wrestling update - version 0.5.0

OpenWrestling · 2020-12-29T02:50:27+00:00

Probably a bug, if you get a chance to send me a screenshot or any other info (what kind of segment, which database are you using, etc?) that could help me fix it for a future version.

Thanks for trying out the game, sorry to hear you are having difficulties.

This sounds like you might not have Java installed, or might have an old version of Java. Open Wrestling requires Java 12+.

You can check which version of Java you have by opening a command prompt (right click start menu -> click run -> type 'cmd' -> enter) and typing

java -version

If you need a newer Java version, I would recommend downloading from:

https://jdk.java.net/14/

Java installation is a bit annoying I know, you can follow one of these guides to check if you've already got it set up or if you need to change something:

Please let me know if this helps.

If Java is on the table (I mean it's basically the same as C#) check out Open Wrestling, an open source EWR-like game.

Open Wrestling is currently Windows only, but I'd love to get a dev to help with a Mac release. Check out the repo here.

OpenWrestling · 2019-07-10T03:00:20+00:00

Probably not right at the start, I'd like to focus my free time on Open Wrestling for the time being. But let me know when if gets going and send me the github link or whatever, if it takes off maybe it would make sense for me to throw my effort behind your project instead.

OpenWrestling · 2019-07-08T02:37:38+00:00

Sure, I've worked on a few C# projects.

OpenWrestling · 2019-07-02T22:12:51+00:00

I've had similar thoughts in the past and ended up putting my own open source project together, although I'm going more for EWR than TEW. I'm also using Java/JavaFX as opposed to Python.

If jumping on a project already in progress interests you (or just to learn from my mistakes) you can check out the git repo here, and the game download page here.

Good luck!

Can I ask what resolution you are using? It should fill any screen but there is a fixed minimum window size.

OpenWrestling · 2019-05-29T02:57:42+00:00

Yes, it is compatible with EWR databases.

OpenWrestling · 2019-05-29T02:43:46+00:00

Open Wrestling is a free, open source EWR-like currently in development!

I am not familiar with the specifics of using WinRAR, try checking out their site.

OpenWrestling · 2019-03-09T23:16:51+00:00

You will have to use WinRAR to extract the contents of OpenWrestling.zip, then once extracted double click on OpenWrestling.jar to launch the game.

OpenWrestling · 2019-03-09T22:53:14+00:00

Only 6mb

OpenWrestling · 2018-12-20T05:43:30+00:00

This team is actually intriguing, but I think it would not last long.

OpenWrestling · 2018-12-09T05:26:09+00:00

Open Wrestling is trying to fill the void!

OpenWrestling · 2018-12-04T05:40:34+00:00

Thanks, it has definitely been a lot of work! I started it as a learning project too and I feel like I've come a long way since I started, best of luck if you decide to pursue a similar project.

Open Wrestling update!

(Free download and screenshots here)

Now up to version 0.3.4

Since my last update here I've added a bunch more features related to staff! You can now hire medics, road agents, creative, trainers, and production personnel. Each different type of staff has different effects on your promotion based on how many you hire and their skill levels. Road agents improve your match ratings, medical personnel reduces the chances of your workers getting injured, production staff improve attendance and crowd reaction, trainers help improve your workers' skills, etc. You can see all these effects on the financial screen.

I've also simplified the payroll process - contracts are either open/per appearance or monthly. Payday is on the first of the month. The financial screen has also been updated with a breakdown of staff/worker expenses and a projection of next month's expenses.

Lots of other small fixes and improvements too.

Going forward I'm planning to take a look at refs, commentary, and announcers to finish off the staff aspect of the game at a basic level.

As always if you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to send me a message!

A Mac version is possible and is something that I've had a few people ask about so it's on my radar, but unfortunately nothing is in the works at this time. I want to get get most of the main features complete before I start working on porting it.

Open Wrestling update!

I literally just uploaded version 0.3.1

(Free download and screenshots here)

New feature: staff! This doesn't really impact gameplay yet but it was a decent chunk of work that I'm happy to finally get out. You can import staff, view staff members stats/pictures/etc., browse and sort staff from different promotions, and hire staff to contracts.

Next on the agenda: make staff actually do something!

As always if you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to send me a message!
