Harder to Get a Three Count

[WaylonMercysHands]

This lengthens matches slightly by causing some 3-counts to become 2-counts. A way to think of it is that if a pin attempt would normally be somewhere between a 2-count and a 3 1/2-count, then it becomes a 2-count.

In addition to making matches longer and more exciting (by having more near-falls), some of the benefits of this code are:
1. It only affects pin attempts that would have been 3-counts or near-falls. It will not cause any 2-couints to become 1-counts or 1-counts to become 0-counts.
2. By extending matches, it make comebacks more frequent, since spirit increases at a faster rate when health is low.

How it works, in more detail:
The main address (8115AF64, 8115B2BC, 8115B614, 8115B96C) is the"kick out" timer that gradually decreases until it reaches zero, at which point the wrestler kicks out. Normally, a pin attempt has to begin with the timer value being at least 0060 or so in order to be a three-count. With this code activated, the timer will drop by 000C when it is somewhere in that general range. I did it for several values, which might be overkill.

Sounds like a great hack. I will be trying it out tonight.

 

[Deleted User]

I love this idea! I'll try it out next week when I finally get some free time to play!

Very creative, I really like this premise.

 

[Mr.Opo]

Maybe I should try it :game:

 

[DnewgroundsisBack]

On first impressions the hack seems pretty good. I played a singles match with no other hacks and it ran to nearly 9 minutes with little effort on my part to drag it out, and the pin i won with happened with the opponent in danger. Nice release.

 

[mrdoa]

This code plus the matches last longer code plus the shorter special time code together is the greatest combo to create a classic match in NM that feels like a real match. I've played with those three and not one match has ended in less than 10 minutes, the random spirit boosts, the panic to do a special..... Absolutely amazing.

PS turn off submissions and TKO, they ruin the fun lol

 

[WaylonMercysHands]

@mrdoa: By the "matches last longer" code, which one are you talking about? Do you mean WldFb's Health Mod?

And I always turn off TKOs, too. I keep submissions on, but with rope breaks on as well.

No it isn't WldFb's code. I forgot who made it, but it causes random shifts in spirit during the match

I think the second part of that code will prevent this one from working, since it sets the timer value to 0003.

 

[mrdoa]

It worked fine for me

 

[WaylonMercysHands]

I used to use that code, but there were certain things I didn't like about it. Guys would kick out of finishing moves a lot, and matches could end after weak moves, since getting a pinfall depended only on the wrestler's health and not at all on what move he had just received. Also, I think it removed a lot of the role of the recovery and endurance attributes, since it made getting a pinfall depend on the "max health" rather than the "current health".

Personally, I prefer WldFb's code (the "generic" part - I don't use the submission part).
