Hi Dark, Well, basically what I'm going to do is give someone the option to either create a new wrestler, I.E. one that doesn't exist in the database, or select a preexisting wrestler. I've decided to do this for two reasons.
First, there are hundreds of wrestlers who have wrestled for the WWE and other promotions. It would be litterally impossible for me to add each and everyone of them to the game myself. So the best solution is to take maybe the top 50 or top 100 stars, and if your wrestler isn't listed add him or her yourself by going through the custom wrestler wizard. Second, I realise that not everyone is a huge wrestling buff. Some people will, shall we say, just see this as another game to play. Maybe they don't know who wrestler x is, and just want to make up their own male or female star. Again, best solution here is to go to the custome wrestler wizard. Finally, I realise there will always be someone out there somewhere who is just dying to add himself to the game as an actual WWE super star. So be it. They'll just have to add themselves to the custom database. As far as music goes the game will definitely feature entrance theme music for many if not all of the super stars. However, what I'll likely do for custom wrestlers is create a CustomMale.ogg and a Custom_Female.ogg file to stand in for entrance music. If you want something else to be your theme music just overwrite said files with an ogg file of your choice, and custom character creation is complete. In fact, all of the music in the game can be replaced the same way. For example, if someone wanted to play Trish Stratus but didn't like her default music, Time to Rock and Roll, you could just drop in a music file called Trish_Stratus.og and presto. The theme music is changed. However, since Time to Rock and Roll is her actual entrance theme that's naturally the default for that particular super star. As for story modes etc that's on a very distant to do list. I've got a lot more pressing things like building the game, balancing the game mechanics,etc to worry about things like storylines and who is going to kick someones butt for whatever at the moment. Cheers!
