Changing the language in Windows to English tends to avoid getting error messages in the game / editor.
This can happen if you've installed the game in the Program Files folder and are not running the program as an administrator.
When you play the game from the Program Files folder, right click on 'Promotion Wars - 21st Anniversary Edition.exe' and choose run as administrator.
Alternatively, install the game to a different folder of your laptop or PC and this shouldn't happen anymore.
The game downloads on the Downloads page will always be the latest version, including the latest fix and all the fixes before it.
If you already have Promotion Wars: 21st Anniversary Edition and want to update it to the latest fix, choose the Basic Download. This will unzip a folder containing the latest version of the game, including all fixes. You can then delete your old game folder, but remember to move across anything you want to keep such as your Saved Games, or any Data Packs you may have added yourself.
See How To Customise Your Game for full details on all of these things!
Yes! Each save on Promotion Wars 1.3 consists of 2 things - a .sav file, and a folder. Both will have the same name as your saved game and will be in the same folder as the exe file you click on to open the game.
Simply put the .sav file into the save folder, then move that save folder into the Saved Games folder of your Promotion Wars 21st Anniversary Edition folder. When you begin Promotion Wars 21st Anniversary Edition, your saved game will be there ready to play.
If you find you have no logo images etc, put the Real World 2021 Data Pack in your Data Packs folder and use that for any custom images you had for your saved game.
Yes! Just move the folder containing the scenario from the Scenarios folder of Promotion Wars 1.3 into the Data Packs folder of Promotion Wars 21st Anniversary Edition. When you start a new game, click on Change button on the New tab to select your Scenario from the list.
If you notice the game isn't showing any custom logos from your 1.3 save or Scenario, you can easily move them across:
For normal games - add the Real World 2021 Data Pack to your Data Packs folder and use the Images folder within that folder for any of your custom images.
For Scenarios - look in the scenario folder within your Promotion Wars 1.3 Scenarios folder, or the Images folder of your Promotion Wars 1.3 folder. Simply move the required image files into the scenario folder contained in the Data Packs folder of Promotion Wars 21st Anniversary Edition.
My current focus is on getting the Windows version to a state I feel is 'complete'. After that, I'll be looking to develop a new version specifically for Android phones.
After that, anything is possible. I have heard that Promotion Wars is playable on a Mac using Parallels.
There's a step-by-step guide here of how to add them to the Real World 2021 Data Pack. This can be applied to any Data Pack.
If any of your wrestlers are then not showing a picture, you can click Edit Info on their profile to manually set one.
In Promotion Wars, the game rewards you with TV deals when you have been performing consistently well for a long period of time. TV deals mean more money, and bigger name wrestlers will want to sign with you.
From having no TV at all, you first progress to a Local TV deal.
From a Local TV deal, you progress to a Regional TV deal.
Finally, from a Regional TV deal you progress to a National TV deal. At that point, you are no longer considered an indie and you will have the weekly viewership of your TV show reported to you.
On the Weekly Shows screen, you will see an indicator of when you're getting close to a TV deal. Once you have interest, it's important to keep your Promotion Momentum consistently over 80%.
In addition to gaining TV deals, you can also gain Pay-Per-View, which allows you to make more money from your Big Shows and find out how many people order them.
The screen has a default, fixed size. However, in the Options screen there is an option for a smaller screen - this reduces the height of the screen, for people with older laptops or smaller screens.
