Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 freem Edition | Changelog

================================================================================
[General Update Notes]
This is a bittersweet update, as I am taking an indefinite hiatus from working
on this hack after this version is released.

Proper development for this hack started back in 2018, and this release will
mark the full third year I've been developing this project. During that time,
I have started up many other projects that have been a bit neglected.
(Not to mention other projects from before 2018...)

The hack is not dead, and you shouldn't rule out future updates, but it seems
very unlikely to happen for some time. I'll still be around, but my primary
focus needs to be elsewhere.

I am optimistic about the future of AKI wrestling game hacking projects, but
there's still a lot of ground to cover, as well as new solutions to old problems
waiting to be discovered and/or developed.

Project Progress Report
-----------------------
This version should be around 45 to 50% complete.
A lot of tasks remain, with a number of them being more difficult to deal with.

As mentioned above, I will be changing my primary focus away from this hack,
so there is no timeframe for completion of any of the remaining tasks.

The perpetual projects:
* Continue wrestler editing process (moves, params, logic)
* Fix up accuracy on costumes and costume items
* Work on remaining costume items (including faces, masks, entrance attire)
* Continue work on arenas
* Continue work on the intro sequence
* Translate remaining Japanese text

The not so simple one-offs:
* Attempt to debug and fix a crash involving playing as a manager in 1v1 matches

Other stuff:
* Import certain moves (Angle Slam... others?) from WWF No Mercy, if possible
* Figure out what to do with Challenge mode (even if it's only editing RRS slightly)
* Fix up the in-match music (if even possible?)
* Fix smaller details (primarily menu stuff)

(This does not include the final 1% of work, which is a misleadingly
small percentage for what needs to be done.)

It is recommended to read the article "None of this is easy",
or "Why anything 'interesting' takes time", available here:

---------------------+------------+

The specific steps required to reset a wrestler's appearance:
1) Select "Edit Mode" on the main menu.
2) Select the wrestler who needs updating. If necessary, switch the selected
   costume with C-Left and C-Right (during wrestler selection and in the
   selected wrestler edit menu) or the L and R buttons (selected wrestler edit
   menu only).
3) Select the "Reset to Default" option.
4) Move to the "Profile" option and press the A button to uncheck it.
   (This way, any name, theme, voice, height, and weight changes you've made
   won't be overwritten.)
5) Select "Accept", and the updated costume should appear.

Repeat these steps for all the wrestlers and costumes listed above.

================================================================================
[Wrestler Data Updates]
This section contains changes to moves, parameters, and logic for the default
wrestlers. You do not need to do anything to access these changes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Moves]
A few words on "de-duplication":
In the original AKI games, wrestlers often had the same move for back grapple on
both the solo button press and button press with direction pad. This also manifests
itself with ports of wrestlers from World Tour, VPW64, and Revenge, where the
Left/Right front grapple slots are the same as the no direction grapple.

In VPW2 freem Edition, this is seen as something to be fixed.

Where possible, moves that "fit" the wrestler are used.
If something seems off, or even outright wrong, please let me know once I have
publicly stated I will resume working on the hack. If you send it before then,
you run the risk of me misplacing or forgetting your feedback.

I'm not sure how to even start the update notes for this version, given
all of the events that have happened between the last release and this one.

Stay safe out there.

Project Progress Report
-----------------------
By my estimations, this release is about 40-45% complete.
There's still lots to do, however.

The perpetual projects:
* Continue wrestler editing process (moves, params, logic)
* Fix up accuracy on costumes and costume items
* Work on remaining costume items (including faces, masks, entrance attire)
* Continue work on arenas
* Continue work on the intro sequence
* Translate remaining Japanese text

The not so simple one-offs:
* Attempt to debug and fix a crash involving playing as a manager in 1v1 matches
* Import the Macho Man "OOH YEAH" sound (over what sample?)
* Import [spoiler] theme over Yoshinari Ogawa's.
  (Originally meant for this release, but ran into some issues.)

Other stuff:
* Import certain moves (Angle Slam... others?) from WWF No Mercy, if possible
* Figure out what to do with Challenge mode (even if it's only editing RRS slightly)
* Fix up the in-match music (if even possible?)
* Fix smaller details (primarily menu stuff)

(This does not include the final 1% of work, which is a misleadingly
small percentage for what needs to be done.)

Why All the "Interesting" Changes Take Time/Effort
--------------------------------------------------
I spent some time between releases writing an article related to the work
required to change certain things in this project.

There have been requests for changes that are not relatively feasible without
a full decompilation of the game, and I wanted to try and explain that further.

The article is available at:
https://vpw.ajworld.net/vpw2freem/requires_decomp.html

re: Requesting Projects
-----------------------
Please do not suggest future projects to me, as any project you want is likely
less important than what I'm currently working on outside of this hack.
(I mean, you *do* want me to release VPW Studio, right? :p)

I can only work on so many things at one time, and I'm already spreading myself
thin with this hack and VPW Studio. This doesn't even cover the non-AKI hacking
responsibilities I have, nor does it include future plans that aren't ready
to be revealed.

So please, stop suggesting new projects for me to work on.
Disguising it as a request for other people I know to work on it counts
under this category as well.

I was hoping that the quoted paragraph in the last version's readme would have
done the trick with regards to these requests, but I guess I need to be a bit
more direct.

[Wrestler Data Updates]
This section contains changes to moves, parameters, and logic for the default
wrestlers. You do not need to do anything to access these changes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Moves]
A few words on "de-duplication":
In the original AKI games, wrestlers often had the same move for back grapple on
both the solo button press and button press with direction pad. This also manifests
itself with ports of wrestlers from World Tour, VPW64, and Revenge, where the
Left/Right front grapple slots are the same as the no direction grapple.

In VPW2 freem Edition, this is seen as something to be fixed.

Where possible, moves that "fit" the wrestler are used.
If something seems off, or even outright wrong, please let me know.

010C - Rikidozan
----------------
Rikidozan was primarily updated to fix an issue with his Fighting Style.
I had run into this issue with AKI man and Goldberg during the development of
the last update, but those two were caught and fixed before release.
Not so for Rikidozan. Oops.

I also reverted a previous move change, since the Flying Headscissors was
already assigned to Front Weak Grapple B+Up. A "proper" replacement has not
yet been found.

[General Update Notes]
After a somewhat long break spent dealing with other projects and issues,
Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 freem Edition has been updated again.

This *was* going to be another "minor" update, like the first revision,
but a few things happened:
* I managed to put a new screen in the pre-intro sequence.
* Randymanfoo converted three WCW/nWo Revenge songs to use the VPW2 instruments.
* 30+ wrestlers had some of their moves changed.

20 YEARS VIRTUAL PRO-WRESTLING 2
--------------------------------
Much like the initial release, this version of the hack is being released
on the original game's release date (January 28th).

I can think of no better way to celebrate the game's birthday.
Long live Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2.

Note on "2019/02/22" Release
----------------------------
Previous versions of the changelog listed the 2019/02/22 release as being
released on that date. The truth has now been revealed: the patch was released
one day early, but was uploaded three days before the intended release.

Character Guide
---------------
I have decided that the VPW2 freem Edition Character Guide will only be finished
once the hack reaches the magical "99%" mark. This is explained further below.

The Future of Wrestling Games
-----------------------------
Based on the various stories going around lately, activity in the wrestling
video game scene is picking up. As I write this section (September 17th, 2019),
the following details are known:

Fire Pro Wrestling World continues to recieve new downloadable content,
which hopefully means the game will be sticking around for a while.

Yuke's wishes to make a wrestling game without the WWE license.
They've created some neat animation tech that they couldn't use for the WWE2K
games for whatever reason. Since a lot of my problems with Yuke's games are
related to the relatively quick turnaround of the WWE games, this can only be
a good thing.

2K has taken over primary development of the WWE2K series.
I don't know how this is going to play out, but in the long run, if 2K manages
to reach the same level of detail that they put into the NBA2K games, this could
be a good thing.
2019/11/08 edit: LMAOOOOOOOOOO holy shit wow, how can you fuck it up *THIS* badly

All Elite Wrestling have their eyes set on making a wrestling game, with more
information being released near the end of 2019. This is the primary point of
interest for AKI fans, as they've stated multiple times they'd like to bring
that style of game back.
2020/01/03 edit: lol hey where's that news, guys??
2020/01/11 edit: ok they at least acknowledged it, but it's still the waiting game

Various independently developed wrestling games are in development or have been
released recently, including, but not limited to:
* Gackdaw's Ultraviolent game
* RetroSoft Studios' RetroMania Wrestling
* the CHIKARA game
* Virtua Combat '96 by JamStubbs
* Spot Callerz
* and some others that I can't recall the names of at the moment. Sorry.

There's also this hack, of course, but it's not a commercial endeavor
and doesn't particularly belong in the above list.

On another note, can you believe it's been just over two years since
the Steam Early Access release of Fire Pro Wrestling World? Time flies.

The Future of AKI Hacking
-------------------------
The above section doesn't even begin to cover where the AKI hacking scene will
be going in both the near and far futures. I am not at liberty to fully discuss
what is happening at the moment, but rest assured, some pretty amazing things
are going down behind the scenes. If you're following the right people on
Twitter, you might just see what I'm talking about.

There is still a lot of work to be done with VPW Studio, both in terms of
features and bug fixing. This doesn't even get into the lack of documentation,
plus the various "gotchas" that need to be dealt with when importing graphics...
It's not fun for me, and it certainly won't be fun for people who aren't me.

Aside from myself, VPW Studio is currently in the hands of people I can trust
to follow instructions and ask relevant questions when needed. In turn, these
people have been providing valuable feedback and updates to the filetable
databases.

Some people are mad that I'm not spending all of my time on VPW Studio, which
includes making this hack. You see, VPW2 freem Edition is the initial proof of
concept for what VPW Studio is capable of, and therefore, was developed at the
same time as the tool. VPW Studio continues to grow to serve the hack's needs.

In other words, without this hack, there'd be no reasonable way to test and
develop the tool. (This also goes for the VPW64 English Translation project
that's been sidelined for the moment.)

My future plans are a bit more secretive than I'd like, though I have shared
information with a few trusted people. The primary reason for this is that the
projects will take a very long time to complete. (Think of how long this hack
took to create from its origin point of the year 2000, and you have some sort
of idea. I'd hope it would take less than 19 years this time around, though.)

If you keep your eyes peeled, you might be able to put two and two together...
But even hinting at what I'm doing is saying too much.

The Future of This Hack
-----------------------
Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 freem Edition is an ongoing project.
There are a few milestones, particularly the "99%" and "100%" versions.

It is highly unlikely the "100%" version will ever be created or released,
as a full game disassembly would be required.
Therefore, the "99%" version is considered the target goal.

This release of the hack (2020/01/28) is about 35%-40% complete?
I haven't really quantified the amount of progress made, so I'm just guessing.

The next general steps seem to be as follows (in no particular order):
* Fix up accuracy on costumes and costume items
* Work on remaining costume items (including faces, masks, entrance attire)
* Continue work on arenas
* Continue work on the intro sequence
* Work on the ending sequence
* Continue wrestler editing process (moves, params, logic)
* Import certain moves (Angle Slam... others?) from WWF No Mercy, if possible
* Attempt to debug and fix a crash involving playing as a manager in 1v1 matches
* Figure out what to do with Challenge mode (even if it's only editing RRS slightly)
* Import the Macho Man "OOH YEAH" sound
* Import a theme over Yoshinari Ogawa's
* Fix up the music (?)
* Fix smaller details (primarily menu stuff)

Things that would be in the "100%" version, if it was viable:
* Joe Bruiser and the Boxing fighting style
* Hold Z on certain fighters to access alternate versions, a la VPW64
* More costume items
* More wrestlers (mainly people I removed from vanilla VPW2)
and probably some other things that I don't want to think about.

In any case, work will continue, though I can't give any estimated release date(s).

[Wrestler Data Updates]
This section contains changes to moves, parameters, and logic for the default
wrestlers. You do not need to do anything to access these changes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Moves]
A few words on "de-duplicating" grapples:
In the original AKI games, wrestlers often had the same move for back grapple on
both the solo button press and button press with direction pad. This also manifests
itself with ports of wrestlers from World Tour, VPW64, and Revenge, where the
Left/Right front grapple slots are the same as the no direction grapple.

In VPW2 freem Edition, this is seen as something to be fixed.

Where possible, moves that "fit" the wrestler are used.
If something seems off, or even outright wrong, please let me know.

  Special thanks to randymanfoo for doing the conversions.

  Note: Some of these songs will sound different from the originals,
  because not every instrument from Revenge is in VPW2.

  Note 2: Starrcade does not loop properly. This is a known issue.

- [Pause Menu] Various changes to the in-game pause menu:
  * Translated the two remaining items on the menu footer.
  * Adjusted the positions of header and footer items.
  * Subtle tweak made to opening/closing animation.

- [Misc.] Some other small changes not worth mentioning.

- [Misc.] More unfinished work in progress material slipped in.
  This time, it should be a little easier to find...


================================================================================
2019/02/22 (February <del>22</del> <del>21</del> 19, 2019)
================================================================================
[General Update Notes]
This is the first update after the initial 2019/01/28 preview release.
There seems to be a warm reception to the hack, which makes me happy.
Thank you.

This is a "minor" update, the bulk of which is dedicated to costume changes.
There have been some changes to wrestler moves, parameters, and logic as well.

Costume Update Notes
--------------------
Lots of people submitted costume updates, and I found a few more as well.

Putting aside the known issues of Kane not having his correct top and Satoshi
Kojima having L.A. Park/La Parka's boots, the most common reported issue was
Goldberg's elbow pad on his WCW era costume. Another issue mentioned multiple
times were Sting's gloves.

One of the more important costume snafus to fix was X-Pac having two of the same
costume... Good luck telling each other apart in-game! DDP had a similar issue
with the first and fourth costumes as well.

Volk Han's third costume was changed to have long black trunks. Since Satoru
Sayama's face now occupies the slot the Road Warriors were using, Hawk and Animal
needed new faces. I took this opportunity to give Hawk a mustache as well.

Of course, other costume updates were made.
Please read the "Default Costume Updates" section below for information on
accessing/obtaining the new/updated costumes.

Translation Notes
-----------------
Thanks to brick9mm, a large amount of previously untranslated text is now in
English. I did have to take some liberties with some items (especially the
Mic Appeal phrases), but otherwise, it went well.

Not all translated phrases have been implemented yet; This is more of a
running change that will take multiple versions to complete.

The Mic Appeal phrases require special attention, since they can't be reset
without resetting the entire game save. Compounding the matters is the fact
that a non-standard character is used in one of the lines due to length limits.

The following phrases have been translated for this release:
--+------------------+------------------+
# | Line 1           | Line 2           |
--+------------------+------------------+
2 | This ends today. | Get ready!       |
3 | I'm #1 wrestler! | Come on!!        |
4 | Oi, look here.   | No fear!         |
5 | This is...       | This is AJPW!!   |
7 | My future begins | Thank you all!!  |
--+------------------+------------------+
Line 3 is the one that uses the nonstandard '#' character.

brick9mm provided the full translations for each line:
1. If you got any complaints.. bring it!
2. Today we'll finish this! Prepare yourself!
3. I am number one wrestler! Come on!
4. Oi, come over here. Look. No Fear!
5. This is... this is All Japan Pro Wrestling!
6. In my whole life... I am at my most happy now! Now!
7. I think that the future is beginning.. Thank you very much!
8. All Japan Pro Wrestling.. After this, please treat me well!

Character Guide
---------------
The Character Guide was originally meant to be finished a week or so after the
first patch was released. Due to various changes in costumes, moves, parameters,
and logic, the Character Guide was held back. I am currently not sure when the
Character Guide will be finished. Please be patient.

Everything Else
---------------
The Manual has been updated with various topics of interest, especially in the
Frequently Asked Questions section. Please check it out to see if one of your
questions has been answered.

================================================================================
[Wrestler Data Updates]
This section contains changes to moves, parameters, and logic for the default
wrestlers. You do not need to do anything to access these changes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Moves]
A few words on "de-duplicating" grapples:
In the original AKI games, wrestlers often had the same move for back grapple on
both the solo button press and button press with direction pad. This also manifests
itself with ports of wrestlers from World Tour, VPW64, and Revenge, where the
Left/Right grapple slots are the same as the no direction grapple.

In VPW2 freem Edition, this is seen as something to be fixed.

Where possible, moves that "fit" the wrestler are used. However, since this
update in particular is being done in a relatively short time frame,
100% accuracy can not be claimed for all changes made.

0103 - Hulk Hogan
-----------------
Back grapple de-duplication. There's been some discussion about giving Hogan
better Front and Back Grapple Special moves, since his current ones suck.
So far, no changes have been made on that front.
------------------------------+---------------------+-------------------
Move Slot                     | Old Move            | New Move
------------------------------+---------------------+-------------------
Back Weak Grapple A+Direction | Backdrop            | Side Buster
Back Weak Grapple B           | Back Rake           | Elbow to Back
Back Strong Grapple A         | School Boy          | Sleeperhold
Back Strong Grapple B         | Torture Abd.Stretch | Enzui Lariat
------------------------------+---------------------+-------------------

0305 - Bret Hart
----------------
The low blow is more for a heel Bret Hart, and most people tend to remember
Bret as a face in WWF... The high angle/flipping dropkick was also suggested,
but the Lariat was chosen instead. Some back grapple moves were also de-duplicated.
------------------------------+---------------------+-------------------
Move Slot                     | Old Move            | New Move
------------------------------+---------------------+-------------------
