This in not a coding issue, but an artistic one. There are about 100 fight images to create the action and if you are going create different sets for five skin types in the DB you would need...

Arabian vs Asian, Arabian vs Black, Arabian vs hispanic, Arabian vs white
Asian vs Arabian, Black vs Arabian, Hispanic vs Arabian, White vs Arabian

Asian vs Black, Asian vs Hispanic, Asian vs White
Black vs Asian, Hispanic vs Asian, White vs Asian

Black vs Hispanic, Black vs White
Hispanic vs Black, White vs Black

Hispanic vs White
White vs Hispanic

That makes 2000 fight images, I think our artist could keel over in shock! I am looking into other ways of doing this that will keep the high quality of the images, yet not require our artist to create such a large volume of images.

So the other games manage to do something like that simply because being more popular they are able to command greater resources?

If something had been done years ago to improve Title Bout's marketability, it might now be a much more attractive product from a sales perspective. Unfortunate.

Actually, I was more interested in the shade of skin - basically, as African-American, Hispanic, Caucasian, Oriental, and ect ... just by keeping it simple and realistic ... not so much in the artistic format (although, it would be awesome ) ... but thanks for the reply ... really, looking forward to the resurgence of TBCB ... these diehards, has really kept this Game alive - is beyond incredible and a true testament of how good this Game is and can become ...

If you reset a single fighters stats in a universe, then any titles held are erased.

Just to confirm - I've imported this game (on both Windows and Mac*) and it appears to be working fine without any issues at all.

*I don't have a Linux box to hand but I expect it'll be fine on that also.

Too bad, makes career earnings a bust for me because it would just be the number of fights x $100 for everyone

I just tried testing this and it seems to have been fixed. I had someone set as a title holder, reset a few fighters stats, and the title holder was still listed as champion. So it looks to be fixed. I'll keep an eye on it, though.

Still looking into a fix for this

[Cap]

Though until there is an actual career mode, the career earnings would not be very useful would they? I would think this is something Paul is considering as he ponders the future of the game.

It's been a long time, but you may want to save it and then reload the game. I seem to recall that being when they were gone.

every stat is useful ... speaking of which on the stats page is there a way to include knockdowns and times knocked down? The more stats the merrier ....

Just tried that now. The fighter is still listed as title holder.

[McClearyMauler]

Sounds good, just glad it is out

2. The Db is already exportable as a csv. do you really not know that?
3. The game I already mentioned has had the capability to import an entire universe via xls for years now and that's a one-man programming show.

Really dude!

I had a hard drive crash and lost all my info (serial #'s ect) would I still be able to get the upgrade price or how would that work? I must admit, I havn't played TB in many moons for sure. Please advise, I will be purchasing tomorrow. Thanks

[Cap]

For a niche game there certainly seems to be quite a number of factions here.

I'm a member of the old-fogey history trumps most everything playing as manager not cornerman or fighter and not a statzi faction or the OFHTMEPMCFNS....

I wish this game could be everything for everyone, but as it can't I'll settle for pleases most of the people most of the time. You younger guys can poke and prod the programmer and his progeny until you get what you really want, though I'm afraid by then boxing will be considered too tame for the mass audiences plugged into the cybernet directly from their brains.

How about your artist creating an alternate set of black and white images with one of the fighters being a slightly darker shade of grey. So you'd have:

light grey vs dark grey
light grey vs light grey
dark grey vs dark grey
dark grey vs light grey

I would think when the time comes you could probably reduce this to three shades.

Dark brown (Black)
Light brown (Hispanic, Arabic)
Light (White, Asian)
