Most Recent Update:4/26/2016Older Updates:4/16/2016It has most of the current well known UFC fighterss and a lot of updates, all done by me. Let me know what you think. There's still a lot I need to do before it is completed, but this should be a pretty major update.

hey man. How glitchy is your copy of UMS 2? In mine, the organizations don't work at all. Also, how do you share rosters like you're doing and keep fictional universe of fighters separate from real universe. I've been hooked on this game for several years in an almost unhealthy way lol. Never found other people who play it until now.

Also might be easier to discuss in the chat box thing at the bottom of the page that's cool

Hey man, welcome to the forum! You've definitely come to the right spot if you want to take part in our fictional universe.
We may also do something real the real fighters as well, who knows. Personally, I'd like to make it where each real fighter has their own webpage, similar to sherdog, except with their ratings and strategies. I think a site like that could serve well for hardcore fans who want to familiarize themselves with fighters they might not know that well. And it might just look cool...to have a website dedicated to updating fighter ratings.
As for my copy of UMS 2, I've had some glitches where it seemed like all data was lost. I do have a hard time getting orgs to load in the sim, but I don't have a problem running cards with the custom made orgs. You might want to play around with the org files and perhaps make some of your own if it isn't doing what you're asking it to.
The easiest way to have them separate is to simply copy and paste the sim and keep it in a different file location.

Yeah when I first downloaded UMS, everything worked fine, but once a bug happens certain things stop working for good. As of now, I just run fights without using any organizations at all. Just the records saving is fine for me at the moment. I used to sign guys to certain organizations, and then UMS tracked things like title defenses and stuff, but definitely the orgs that come with UMS are buggy.
So, to be clear, you just have multiple separate UMSs in different file locations? Did you install it again, because I think I tried that once and it got confused that there were multiple copies. I'm not really good with computers sometimes lol.
I plan to check out your roster update if I can figure out how to get it to work lol. And I'd definitely be interested in joining the fictional universe, but it seems like you guys are in a transition period at the moment.

Yeah that's exactly what I do. And I keep backups of everything because I don't want to lose any data.
If you want to join feel free to sign up and everything. Right now we are on pause but that doesn't mean I won't sim a few fights for new guys or just do random new guy events. And if activity starts picking up around here I'll start running a bunch of the events again ...we just need more members.

Ok so I tried making a new UMS with a different named folder in program files, and I tried copying your files onto mine but it didn't work. Could you explain what to do with your download to make it work? I'm computer challenged lol.
Definitely could be cool to do something with real fighters. I ran a real universe simulation one time, and I went from like 1994 to 2002 or something before that computer crashed.

If I were you I'd download my updated version of the sim, and try to duplicate that into a different folder, and change the folder name. Have that folder in program files first. If that doesn't work try my documents. That's how I've duplicated my files. There's probably like 10 sims on my computer.

Another thing that I think that I have done is copy and paste all of the fighter files from one sim to another but you also should copy the records and everything else as well if you want to keep them

Alright I figured out how to make it work. Looks great so far man. Hey so one more question: when you say your custom organizations work, can you save your events within UMS?

Post by MMA Sim World on Apr 26, 2016 13:07:43 GMT -8
Yes I've been able to but I haven't been able to get custom organizations to load as one of the main orgs... only as the one you have to load in a card

Ok sounds like the same situation as what I have. Glad to see people still care about this game. I'll create a couple fighters soon.

So I have to ask...how long have you been toying with the sim before you found the update I did? Also curious where you found this site.
And...you mentioned having a real universe sim done from 1994 to 2002...do you have those fighter files? If so, definitely you should upload them. I was thinking that eventually after I get all top 100 per division guys ranked for current fighters, that I could delve into rating historic fighters.
As a side note, I tried to create the men's flyweight division in the sim...I edited and created files for it and did everything I could, but I couldn't get the sim to recognize anything I did.
I've made a lot of updates since the posted update. Particularly the heavyweight division is really close to being up to date...and there's quite a lot of notable current fighters from every major MMA org. I can upload it today.

I found this site off of the UMS website, which has been dead for years with the exception of a comment you made on there. I check it every year or so when I dream that the creator of the game will come back and fix the bugs/add features. My biggest problem with the game is that the fighters tend to get better and hit their prime very quickly, even if you don't edit the stats. But then they never deteriorate or get past their prime without manually editing the stats. With other sims, such as title bout championship boxing, that process is automated. But I really love that the fight results are realistic yet occasionally unpredictable.
All of my sims are gone except my current fictional one because my last computer crashed, and I didn't have anything backed up. I might have some spreadsheets that have the formulas I used to convert fightmatrix historical rankings and number of KOs, decisions, and submissions into the fighter ratings. It was really simple, but it took out the hassle.
Not being able to have flyweight divisions or women's divisions is annoying, yes. Also I PM'd you a couple questions before I send you my fighters.

I imagine to fix bugs or add anything, like flyweight and women's divisions, you would have to go into the code and mess with that and make a totally new game. I would seriously cough up some money for someone to do that. But yeah about how long I have been playing this game... I think for at least 5 years off and on. I'm pretty familiar with it. My current sim is just the middleweight division but I keep around 300 fighters active at a time.

Are all of those guys made up?
I definitely use fightmatrix to help me rate the guys I don't know about.
It's a shame you weren't around for Glory...it was the org ran by the UMS developer. It probably ran in 2006 or 2007.

I don't know what happened in his personal life, but he didn't have time for the game. What I know is basically just what he put on the main website. I think his name is Gilberto, and he was a cool guy.
I have IM'd the facebook page for UMS 2 times, and both my messages were seen. They didn't reply. I'm wondering if I show the fighter update if they might reply.

I just uploaded the newest update. You'll notice the HW's are the closest to being complete, but still a lot of work to do. I'm sure some guys are off, but I just went with what I saw on tape.
I put the download link in the OP.

That sounds fun, especially if you could play for cash. I don't have much free time at the moment though, I'm about to start MMA training.

Are you open to possibly helping run the game? I could use someone to help. Nobody has really offered to help recently.
