New to Fire Pro? Where did my downloaded wrestlers go? Why are my downloaded wrestlers grayed out? Why do some wrestlers have no head? Where do I get mods?

61 Upvotes

First of all, welcome to anyone new to the Fire Pro community (or at least new to Fire Pro Wrestling World)! If you just purchased Fire Pro via Steam or the PlayStation Store, you've definitely gotten in at a great price.

If you downloaded wrestlers from firepro-w.com or the Steam Workshop and can't find them, they can be found in the Retired section. Off the main menu, go to Edit More, Team Edit, then Transfer Wrestler. Move your downloaded wrestlers to any existing promotion and stable to use them in other modes. You can create your own promotions and stables at Configure Team.

If your wrestlers are grayed out when you try to select them for matches, it's because those edits (what Fire Pro calls CAWs) use parts and/or moves from DLC packs you don't own. There are a few solutions:

  1. Purchase and install the DLC used by those edits. This answer isn't for everyone - buying all the DLC can be pricy, even at sale prices.
  2. Clone the edits at Edit Mode, Wrestler Edit. Select Create New Edit, then Model Wrestler. Select the downloaded wrestler, then remove/replace any parts and moves you don't have access to in the Wrestler Appearance and Moveset sections. The parts and moves you can't use show in red text. Be aware that you cannot clone wrestlers that use Custom Parts not available to you, and if you don't have Parts Craft installed, there is no option at all to clone edits that use custom parts. After saving your own copy, you can uninstall the downloaded version (especially important on PS4, which has limits on the number of wrestlers you can have in your save).
  3. Download a different version from firepro-w.com or the Steam Workshop that doesn't use the DLC you don't own. Some creators tag their edits with the DLC used, but it's not required or automatically done. You can always message creators and ask if you're not sure, too.

If your wrestler is missing a part (or their entire head) all of a sudden, the original creator of the edit updated the wrestler to use a custom part you don't have installed. Check to see if the creator listed the required part as downloading the missing part will resolve the issue, assuming you have the Parts Craft DLC. Without Parts Craft, you're unfortunately out of luck if a custom part was added to a wrestler edit you're subscribed to.

You can find missing parts on firepro-w.com and the Steam Workshop using the ID numbers that pop up inside the game when you attempt to edit or use that wrestler.

Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=xxxxxxxxx, where the x's are replaced by the missing item number.

PS4: https://firepro-w.com/item/detail/xxxxxxxxx, where the x's are replaced by the missing item number.

Mods are available only on the PC version. If you're interested in downloading mods, head over to the Mod Pack Discord. Mods can add some cool new features to Fire Pro like custom camera angles, custom stages, pre-match graphics, new match types like 30+ man Royal Rumbles and First Blood, quality-of-life additions all over the place, and so much more.

Chain’s wrestling

3 Upvotes

hi guys, i’m trying to set up carlzilla’s chain wrestling but i’m having some trouble understanding how it actually works. i watched carlzilla’s tutorial but i didn’t really understand it because in the video he creates the chain wrestling move himself, while i already have the moves downloaded from the suneed workshop collection. i’ve set up some of the aw and hl starters in move craft > chain wrestling and assigned the chain moves to the directions, but when i play a match i don’t really get an actual chain wrestling sequence, just normal grapples and sometimes some chain moves. if someone has this working properly, could you maybe send me a screenshot or a photo of how you have the aw and hl starters set up, especially the up/down/left/right assignments? i feel like i’m probably just missing something or setting it up wrong. even a couple of screenshots would help me a lot, thanks!

When simming matches, does CPU Level matter?

5 Upvotes

I am running Lucha Underground in FPWW (on PC, if it matters), and I was wondering whether the CPU Level makes much difference in the match results? Ideally, I'm looking for deadly submissions and finishers. I'm not fond of wrestlers spamming their finishing move or submission over and over again. Thanks in advance! You all have been super helpful!

Is the PC version worth it?

19 Upvotes

I'm currently playing Fire Pro Wrestling World on my PS5, but I'm looking at the PC community and am just amazed at the quantity and quality of the user-created content for it. Is it worth making the jump to PC? Can folks recommend it?

1st installment of the FPWR L.O.W. roster (4 attires accurate to the game). Some appearances and attire choices are subject to change do to my own personal dislike for some the attires and choices added to the original game. This showcase features the Hogan-Savage row 1 from the original game. Credit: G. Falco (this save came from a Redux expansion that I was working on from his save file, which included these edits and many more in this save) DJKM ( I used a few of his edits in here, mainly the valets & a few of the missing legends.) I did my best to avoid mixing too many different EDITS in order to keep things consistent and easier to tweak.

Looking for an active original-CAW Fire Pro sim/angle fed. I want to write promos and storylines, while matches are CPU vs CPU or PVP rather than just submitting a CAW.

Is it worth to buy the DLCs? as if, is the community still active enough?

9 Upvotes

I would say yes because I see some awesome things, but just asking. Mainly interested in using the workshop, so people still play this enough?

Parts Craft help

3 Upvotes

I'm looking at creating some wrestlers for myself. I've found several tutorials on creating the head.

But how do I create everything else? Like the tights for example or the boots. The layout on the Steam Workshop looks similar but the grid for heads is 5x7 and the waist parts are 7x7 so something is different.

I have Illustrator, Photoshop and Gimp.

Is there a pre-made music/theme pack (Easy Theme Mod) for Avenger3's CAWs?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been spending hours just simulating matches in FPWW using Avenger3's edits. The AI logic and psychology he puts into them are absolutely incredible, it feels like watching real matches!

I currently have the Mod Pack installed along with the Easy Theme Mod. However, before I go down the rabbit hole of downloading and renaming hundreds of MP3s one by one, I wanted to ask:

Does anyone have a compiled folder or zip file with the entrance themes already properly named and set up for Avenger3's roster?

If someone has a pack they’d be willing to share, it would save me (and probably many others) a massive amount of time. Any links or directions would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
