So instead of mixing the tutorial in with the other WMMA therad, I decided to start a new one. That way people can discuss the game without my tutorial getting in the way
Here is part one of the my WMMA FAQ/Tutorial:
Is this a replacement for a franchise mode? No. The way to look at using WMMA 5 with UFC 3 is WMMA is a record database/injury generator/matchmaking software.
Why cant I use it as a franchise mode replacement? Well, WMMA5 isnt built to be a companion piece to UFC 3. Its is its own game. The issue is that there is no way to control who wins (or how they win) in a game save unless you know how to hex edit a save. So if you play a game in UFC 3 and McGregor wins but when you run the sim and Diaz wins, your save now doesn’t reflect what happened.
So is using the WMMA straight forward and easy? Nope, it’s a bit of work but its absolutely worth it. Career mode for UFC3 is straightforward and frankly gets boring after the first few times. Using WMMA will allow you to not only utilize the entire roster but it adds depth to the game that isn’t there.
Setup:
1. Buy WMMA and go to the Grey Dog Software forums (WMMA 5 Mods section)
2. Download the Modern Warriors 3 mod (.http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum...d.php?t=542635). This mod has a thousands of real life fighters and organizations.
3. Start the game and click on the database icon (icon looks like a barrel) and select the MW 3 mod
4. Click on the Edit Database icon (looks like a pen writing on a pad and is right below the database icon.)
a. Go to the Characters section and using the Mass Delete function all of the fighters who are not in UFC 3 (Deselecting each UFC fighter can take a while)
b. Do the same for any other information you want. If you want to make it so that the UFC is the only org in your Universe, Mass Delete the rest of them. Same goes for past fight events or past fights.
c. Make sure that the fighters in the game are in signed to the UFC and in the right weight classes.
5. Once you have the database the way you want it, you are ready to start using the game.
Getting Started:
So Ill explain this by detailing how I do it. You don’t have to go into the lengths that I do but the way I do it results in more depth. So lets say you are starting a new universe today:
1. You are going to have to manage 2 saves. Start with one called “July 2020”.
a. Every new save requires that you book your first card no sooner than 1 month from the start of the game so if your game starts in June, you wont be able to run your first card until the first week of July.
2. Go into the Match Making section of the game and start to book fights:
Matchmaking rules: If you really want to make matchmaking challenging here are my rules:
i. No means No: If a fighter refuses a fight, I don’t offer them the same fight again EVEN if they are willing to fight if I pay them more. The only exception is if you are looking to book a short notice replacement fighter.
ii. Don’t book fighters until they are 100% healthy.
