My first release: Categorised Gimmicks

[nrc5]

Hi there.

This is the first version of a mod im working on while doing my own universe. This is a new gimmicks file, where all the gimmicks are organised into specific categories for ease of use. I got annoyed with having to search through every gimmick to find one that fits, so I organised everything.

Im looking for feedback on the following
1# Categories: Do the categories make sense?
2# Gimmicks: Are there any mis-categorised gimmicks?

Im also looking for suggesstions for the following.
1# Categories and Gimmicks: Just some more ideas to fill it out. However, I want to stress that i'm not interested in doing individual gimmicks that only one worker has used. However, I would do a genericised version of it. For example "The most electrifying man in sports entertainment" would become "Electric Charisma" in whatever category.
2# I desperately need help with Japanese and Mexican gimmicks. I have VERY limited knowledge of these areas and the wrestling there, so if anyone can help me with ideas of the gimmicks from those areas i would be greatly appreciative.

Also, I havn't finished the new descriptions for the gimmicks, so some will be done and some will be either the old description or none at all.

Below are the categories and the link.

I havn't downloaded as I'm not at home, but, although i like the idea, wouldn;t adding just a gimmick file to a database make every worker on that database have the wrong gimmick as it goes on what id number the gimmick has(or whatever it is) rather than the name of it? So if I just downloaded it i'd have to write down what everyones gimmick is, then put new file in and go through every worker to make it match?

I may be wrong, so sorry if I am!

can never have too many gimmicks so thanks for this, will import them into my current game!

Id have to disagree with that one.

Same here, i think having a lot of gimmick on the game is a good thing.

I should have mentioned that this is more a modders resource mod right now, as if you overwrite an existing gimmicks file the existing workers will have messed up gimmicks. The next version of this I release i'll include a workers file with the gimmicks properly assigned to the cornellverse characters.

Ah, so I was right, glad I didn;t download it then :) Even though I don;t do mods I can still see how this would be a great tool to help them, so good work, just a shame I can't take advantage of it ;)

you can, create a new database, and just copy this gimmick file over the one in the new database, that way you can import everything over into your current game or current database :)
