Robin Sparrow

Just watched 23. Why would you call your son "Robin Sparrow"? Also, I've written a similar book about Fire Pro, it lists every error in my translation since I started. My error messages and doodles of me as a cowboy haven't got me locked away but I do like to hide this book...


I'm working on two saves, I've changed the Complete Portable one so that it only has A, 2 and WS wrestlers in. I've also created the appearances for every Official Spike edit for FPD, I'm working through logic and the rest. I also mucked about with other things. I made a few Marvel, He-man and Street Fighter edits. Nothing I like but I've managed to make stuff I've not before. I made an awesome Hordak and an all right Spiderman, considering the restrictions of Edit Mode in FFPW.


I'm playing Management of the Ring once again as my own promotion. I'm running SWA as a hardcore promotion, the roster is essentially I hybrid of FMW and ECW circa the mid 90's. I stole Foley and Awesome from WWE and also hi-jacked the TNA title. My only problem is that I keep getting hassled by K-1 for a versus show, I know they will hammer me! 

Final Fire Pro Anthology Saves

After my most recent patch, I've decided to throw myself in to saves and edits again. One of my goals was to port every single wrestler ever to appear in Fire Pro to FFPW. Obviously there is a limit of edit slots that will hinder this but I was thinking of splitting the project in to several saves:


Human Save: 1989 - 1994
Human Save: 1995 - 1999
Human Save: Fire Pro G
Human Save: Joshi Pro (All Joshi games)
Spike Save: Portable (WonderSwan, Fire Pro A, 2 and Final)
Spike Save: Fire Pro D
Spike Save: Fire Pro D - Official Edits
Spike Save: Fire Pro Z
Spike Save: Fire Pro R (I don't know how many saves this will be made of but a fair few)


It's going to take a fair while to put it together but it's something I've wanted to do since I found the Fire Pro Wrestling Complete. The obvious start for me is the portable save, I just need to tidy up the one I give away with the patch. 


I'm also doing similar with R, I'm making slow progress because me and the Mrs are currently fighting for the TV (Bought Skyrim last week :P). Anyway, I'll keep you all posted, any suggestions or ideas, please let me know.


I'm also still keen to accept edit requests. If anyone has any, please post them here or PM on FPC.

Fire Pro Completed!

I've just finished MOR as Dragon Gate to get the Lucha star so everything is now unlocked in the "Official" save. I've also released new versions of the patch and save. They're available on FPC and here!


More saves to come very soon!

Typo Woes

Just a few updates. I've corrected two typos related to merchandise in the MOR mode. I've not released the patch yet but I'm looking to add some fancy extras too. I'll post it ASAP.

I'm almost finished with my King's Road playthrough on MOR. I'll release a fixed save with the patch.

More MOR

Hi all!

I've been off of editing for a few weeks (Other than a translation-only version of the patch that is) and am missing it. My plan/suggestion is new MOR patches! What I would like to do is change MOR so that it reflects a certain time or scenario. I'll create a template (Below) and you guys can send me any MOR suggestions in this template, I'll then create them as best I can.

Send them to me at fpw_tigermask@hotmail.com

MOR Template

25th October 2011 Update

Hi all,

Just a link to my most recent patch and save. Please let me know if there are any suggestions, recommendations or questions.

All the best,

FFPW Patch - 25/10/2011

Back on the 'net

Well it's been a few weeks for me without the Internet and it turns out keeping this blog has kept me focused on Fire Pro. I've written at least 10 entries in the last few weeks that I couldn't post because the blogger app I have is poo so I'll get all two of my followers up to speed...

First of all, I moved in to my new house at the start of September. It's near enough the opposite side of town but it was still a pain to drive. I'm closer to work and my gym now so that's all good. I no longer live in a basement looking out in to a possible Fallout 3 location. The house needs some care but we got out the old person smell (I'm certain someone has died here in the last 5 years). Three days after moving in I was back at work... sigh!

I focused a lot on cleaning up Fire Pro during September. I bought myself a nice little "Sonic the Hedgehog" notebook to write in to remind myself what I need to fix and do. My biggest problem was the glitched animation stuff with the press slam. This is all fixed now. I've also switched around costumes and made a couple of other minor changes. I hope to have a patch out as soon as I've fixed this dodgy leg stuff (See the Portable forum on FPC).

I spent some free time in October play testing. Very unlike me as I would normally just release the patch and hope for the best. This allowed me to fix additional bits and add to my notebook. I wonder how full my notebook would be if I'd kept one from the start? It would probably be full of cartoon pictures of Stan Hansen lariating my PGCE tutor...

I've also got back in to watching wrestling again. Between translating a wrestling game and being a pro-wrestler, you I found I stopped enjoying watching wrestling so much. This month I re-watched the IWA King of the Deathmatch, Best of Kenta Kobashi and disc two of the Tiger Mask collection. IWA was fun. The first time I watched it I was 16 and had just started looking outside WWE and WCW for stuff to watch. I bought a VHS off of eBay for about £3 and watched the thing in one sitting with a pack of beef jerky (This is a luxury in England as it is usually about £3 a bag!). I watched the Tiger Mask DVD as I'd bought it weeks before Misawa passed away and hadn't touched in since.

In other news I've been dead lifting like mad since August. My goal was to hit 200kgs before the end of October, that's about 441lbs or one Rikishi Phatu, or two and a half Rey Mysterio Jr's. Between moving, flu and a few weeks on full body training I don't think I'll make it. At my best I got to 180kgs for 5 reps. No one dead lifts in my gym really and I think it's an awesome exercise. A power lifter helped me tidy up my technique a few years back so hopefully I don't screw my back up.

Back to Fire Pro. My most recent projects have been trying to complete Management of the Ring with a created promotion, not an easy task. I've also started playing with FPR again. I downloaded a few awesome packs a while ago but I may realise my dream of creating a Fire Pro save that contains everyone from every Fire Pro game ever. In terms of stuff I may actually do, I'm going to start working a logos again. No promises but if anyone would like to help, please let me know.

All the best,

TM
