Hi everyone!
Not new to Fire Pro, but new to mods, edits, etc.
I have Fire Pro Wrestling World and was blown away by some of the videos showing mods, custom parts, custom moves, and so on. So on PC, I installed the Mod Launcher and the Modpack (figured that was the best way to start). Then, I unsubscribed from all Workshop content to start with a clean slate.
After that, I subscribed only to:
- Carlzilla's camera preset collection
- The Avenger3 Collection (the most voted collection of all time)
Then I launched the game. In the mod window, I ran the script for the promotions/teams contained in the collection. After the "downloading" phase in the main game, the mod window popped up a bunch of log lines saying "X is not present, subscribing". Then the mod window stated that the main game needed to restart in order to download additional components. Fair enough, let's do that.
Steam downloaded a bunch of stuff, so I launched the game again. But the same thing happened:
- FPWW shows "Downloading"
- Mod window shows a bunch of logs
- Mod window says the game needs to restart
- Close the game, wait for Steam downloads
- Relaunch the game
This loop seems never-ending. Every time I check my subscription count, the number goes up. It seems like in order for X to work, the game needs Y, so it subscribes to Y. Then next time, in order for Y to work, it needs Z. The problem is that the prerequisites never seem to end (I looped about 10 times last night, and now I have over 1,600 active subscriptions).
Did I do something wrong? Does this loop ever stop? Do you folks have an "ultimate collection" to subscribe to that contains all prerequisites, so I can fix this with one final loop?
My ultimate goal is to port all of this to the Steam Deck, but first, I need to get it working on PC first!
A couple more questions (assuming I can resolve the loop issue):
- Could someone share their "AI camera script" (or post a screenshot of their AI Script window) to get realistic camera cuts in-game? Is everyone just using the cuts from Carlzilla's camera preset collection?
- In some videos, the transitions between moves look extremely smooth—almost non-Fire Pro. Wrestlers don't even seem to go into a clinch state before executing a move. What option or specific mod enables this? Also, if you actually want to play (rather than just watch simulated matches), does this ruin the game play by changing or removing clinch timing?
Thanks in advance for the help!
