Would there be an interest in a No Mercy 2005 save? (no hacked moves or textures)

[lordraptor]

As of late, I've been working on a little personal project of mine, of basically recreating the roster of WWE in 2005, in WWF No Mercy.

Currently, the roster is split into 4 categories: Raw, Smackdown, ECW, Legends/Alumni and Staff.

Now, like the title suggests, there are no hacked moves in this, nor are there unique textures of any kind, it's purely caws & moveset replacement/A.I behavior (including created characters's A.I).

It's still a W.I.P right now, but the plan for the roster is:

Albert - Chris Masters
Al Snow - Kerwin White/Chavo Guerrero
Big Boss Man - Gene Snitsky
Bradshaw - JBL
British Bulldog - Willian Regal
Bubba Ray Dudley - Bubba Ray Dudley
Bull Buchanan - Heidenreich
Chris Benoit - Chris Benoit
Chris Jericho - Chris Jericho
Christian - Christian
Crash Holly - Paul London
D'Lo Brown - Shelton Benjamin
Dean Malenko - Ric Flair
D-Von Dudley - D-Von Dudley
Eddie Guerrero - Eddie Guerrero
Edge - Edge
Essa Rios - Rey Mysterio
Faarooq - Orlando Jordan
Funaki/Taka Michinoku - Funaki/Psicosis/Super Crazy/Juventud
The Godfather - Booker T
Grand Master Sexay - The Hurricane
Hardcore Holly - Hardcore Holly
Jeff Hardy - Rob Van Dam
Kane - Kane
Kurt Angle - Kurt Angle
Mankind - Eugene
Mark Henry - Mark Henry
Matt Hardy - Matt Hardy
Mr. Ass - Johnny Nitro
Perry Saturn - Muhammad Hassan
Rikishi - Rosey
Road Dogg - Joey Mercury
The Rock - Batista
Scotty Too Hotty - Scotty 2 Hotty
Steve Austin - John Cena
Steve Blackman - Tajiri
Steven Richards - Randy Orton
Tazz - Tazz
Test - Tyson Tomko
Triple H - Triple H
The Undertaker - Undertaker
Val Venis - Val Venis
Viscera - Viscera
X-Pac - Carlito
Lita - Lita
Trish Stratus - Trish Stratus
Terri/Debra - Stacy Kiebler
Stephanie McMahon - Eric Bischoff
The Kat - Christie Hemme
Jacqueline/Ivory - Sharmell
Chyna - Victoria
Tori - Torrie Wilson/Candice Michelle
Andre the Giant - Big Show
Cactus Jack - Hulk Hogan
Fabulous Moohlah/Mae Young - Lilian Garcia
Jerry Lawler/Jim Ross/Pat Patterson/Gerald Brisco - Jerry Lawler/Jim Ross
Ken Shamrock - Stone Cold
Linda McMahon - Theodore Long
Earl Hebner/Howard Finkel/Paul Bearer/Michael Cole - Daivari/Simon Dean/Michael Cole/Tony Chimel
Mick Foley - Mick Foley
Shane McMahon - Jonathan Coachman
Ho - Melina
Shawn Michaels - Shawn Michaels
Vince McMahon - Vince McMahon

Although, it is subject to change, as I'm planning on adding more characters to the game, like Mr. Kennedy, Bobby Lashley, Maven, Rob Conway, Sylvain Greiner and more.

Obviously, it's not ready for release right now, but if there is actual interest in this...thing, I wouldn't mind releasing it here once I'm done.

When you say move replacements, are you speaking of created stars, because the other wrestlers cannot be changed, unless modded. If you know how to do this, then yeah, I would be very interested. I would also be interested in learning how to change the move sets. I cannot figure it out.

Moves ≠ Moveset.
There will be no Move Hacks, however, he clearly specifies he will hack the movesets: "it's purely caws & moveset replacement/A.I behavior (including created characters's A.I)".


About creating movesets, use this tutorial, and please, ask any questions in the help section next time.

@lordrator
Feel free to release it, I'm a fan of the time frame and would like to see what you did.

Since you used Godfather as Booker T, I'd swap Melina and Sharmell lol

Nice project. CAW creating is a lost art

Awesome! thank you guys for the responses, I will update this thread occasionally, letting you know which characters are ready and showing some photos and even gameplay footage.

Currently, I'm 25 characters in, with the majority of the bigger players in Cena, Batista, Angle, JBL, HBK, Taker, Flair, Eddie, HHH, Orton, RVD, Mysterio, Kane, Booker T, Edge, Benoit, Show, Henry, Carlito, Hardy and Benjamin from the main roster, as well as Jericho, Christian, Foley (4 faces) and Hogan (2005 version, Hollywood and Classic) as extras (Legends, ECW, Alumni), as of right now, I'm working on the middle-lower card guys, like Hurricane/Gregory Helms, MNM, Snitsky, Masters, Jordan etc...

Lol, that's, a good idea actually, I'm sure Championship mode would be weird regardless, but maybe this would make more sense to at least have Sharmell accompany Booker in the cut-scenes, keep in mind man, the replacements are all subject to change.
