Hello.
Most of you won't know me; its been many years since I've posted here. But here I am, still alive, well, and, well, here :o.
Good to see this place is still prospering. I see a few familiar names about the place. Oh, and happy birthday Spadge... forgot to send you an Email (as usual). I see Sel is still around too! Given the number of webmasters I saw Team17 go through, its good to see you've stuck around.
I'm also interested to see Deadcode, and the WA patch prospering; even after so many years. Ah what history that game had, with patches and otherwise!
Anyways, I must be off again. Hello to all who remember me. You can still find me on GameSurge IRC - #Worms as usual, as well as other networking help channels etc. Though I must admit, I don't expect to be there for much longer... my time working with that community is coming to a close.
Hello and farewell wormy warriors. You might *just* see me on a WA server one day soon.

Actually, I subscribed myself to the thread this time (and it seems to have worked, unlike last time I subscribed myself to a thread) - though I only got one Email so returned thinking I'd only had one reply...
Such was not the case as I see.
Sarge! Thomasp! I never see you guys on the network (IRC) anymore :(... 'tis part of the reason I returned to see if you two were still around.
NZKiwi hasn't posted here in a long time I'd assume? I know she up and left for the south island, and said she wouldn't be online for some time, but its been quite a long some time. Curious to know how she's gotten on...
And me? Yearly posting? I don't remember when I last posted here... Basically I was bored and ended up trolling through my old favourites, trying to delete ones that didn't go anywhere anymore. A little surprised this forum still exists; albeit without the post counts these days. I remember many a threat from Team17 in regards to closing the forums :)
And yeah, I can see that its now a "new" Worms community. Is there any decent fan sites out there alive and well, worthy of rivalling (what was) The Allotment (those of you who remember her) or Wormtopia? Or is this "the" community's central hub now? :)

They died, and basically IRC got boring... There wasn't really any reason to stay on GS, considering a couple of other chans I visited moved to other networks, which promptly got DDoS'd, along with GS.

Hi Nutter,
I’ve done well since Ive moved to the South Island (Dunedin). Took me a few months to get a job here and I enjoy the work Im doing. You wouldn’t want to loose your brakes in your car down here as the hills are pretty steep…. (and loads of black-ice in winter too).
Just before I go, I thought I mentioned that I’ll be going to America (for a holiday) in late August this year for 4 weeks……

I tried using other IRC clients for multi-servers and they're all ass, and I always forget to open multiple copies of Bersirc.
Got any suggestions for a good multi-server client? If not I'll just use Bersirc on Gamesurge, say hello and talk and the like.
Nice to see you're still around though. : )

Bersirc supports multiple servers. Nearly all clients do. But they're utter ASS at it.
I need a client that supports multiple performs for each server, seperate nicknames, etc. etc.

Anyway, yes, the community has become rather centralised on the Team 17 Forums. Dream 17 is the only notable T17 website I can think of that was made recently. Although there has been a fair bit of spreading in the direction of deviantArt and SheezyArt: many of us have an account on one of those now.

But, as far as I know, there's no way to automate it when you run (because there's only one perform on connect AFAIK, so as you're connecting multiple times you cannot have it in there).

mIRC has multiple Perform on Connect's. Which is how you connect to a new server group only once -- setup mIRC to connect to one server automatically, then in the perform specific to that network, set it to create connections to all the other networks.
Or write a script :).
Hi Nutter……
Why hello! :o
You are alive and well (and have internet) I see. One of many people probably trolling the forums in the background without saying anything eh? ;) But you're never on MSN (unless you changed accounts). Something happening there or?
Glad to see you're alive and well in any case. You'll love America by the way - I went there for 4 weeks and had a ball!

Well to be honest, last time I visited these forums was sometime in 2003 (before I left Auckland? I cant remember) and I started coming back 2 weeks ago (2 and a half years later) browsing and come across this thread:- http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=19231 Im actually surprised some people remembered me.
But you're never on MSN (unless you changed accounts). Something happening there or?
Yeah its true I never use MSN anymore. Its a long time since Ive used it, so its most likely either deleted or disabled now. Do you have ICQ still? I may try and see if my ICQ account still works when I have time off work and I'm not busy.

I'm not familiar with the file format, and so I daresay it wasn't me (but can't use the file to tell you).
If it was, I'd have Bub (from Bubble Bobble) as my gravestone, and worms named after the team from Worms United - Dodger, Spadge, Smidge, Fluffy etc..
Aaah, Cheech. What a 'rad' guy. Stupidworms was pure genius.
He was funny at times, I'll give him that. I don't like trolls either, and sometimes he was just a plain idiot. But it gave me a laugh or two with some of the stuff he came up with.

I hope you pick a good day for the GameSurge visit. #worms has been more or less the same 20 or so people for the past few months, with outsiders only coming in occasionally, but the never ending fads and little wars among us are entertaining enough when we aren't all busy with other stuff. That does happen sometimes, although the links in the topic might just distract you until we get back to our seats in case you pick a bad moment.
The worms2d.info wiki especially could benefit from a good avalanche of nostalgia... </hint>

although there was this guy named "Plasma" who fell in e-love with this girl named "Kelster". but alas, geography separated them, as plasma lived in the uk and kelster in the us. so, like any well-adjusted 16-year-old, plasma saved up two grand to go and visit her. i guess after meeting irl they realized they didn't have as much in common as they thought, and they broke up soon after

Not that kind of inappropriate. They are somewhat anti-Team17 stuff.
Having said that, all I can seem to find is "Worms World Party Active Fresh" - a very short flash video. That and Punisher's 'sigworm' that was created for The Allotments IRC scripts, though I'm not sure that was Cheech's doing. Oh and a few grabs of the words "Worms Armageddon" extracted from WWP.exe. Other misc stuff. etc.

You're kidding right? I know I'm not following Team17 etc. anymore (3D doesn't work for me), but "Worms 2 Armageddon" sounds like "lets go back to the old 2D days, mesh Worms 2 and Worms Armageddon together and see what we can come up with".
I could Google search, but I'm not quite sober.
And what's this about Facebook? lol. Are we trying to become "hip", or have I left the interweb and come back as an old fogie? Personally I would think this place (or the T17 web site) would be the place to announce such things first and formost, rather than Facebook/MySpace/Twitter/et al.
Maybe I should return to my box for another year.
::Edit::
Dear God....
lol
After watching this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW09vWQQpuA) I now seem to understand.
Question: (and this is a serious/honest one - no sarcasm intended) Has anything actually been added to the gameplay? longevity? etc?
All I seem to see is rehashed backgrounds and weapons with a new single player set of missings, upgraded (fire/explosion) graphics, and not a lot else. I assume this is why it's not being released to the PC?

Team17 released Worms for Xbox Live Arcade on 2007. Worms 2: Armageddon is the sequel to this game, available currently on XBLA only, although Team 17 have stated that it will also come out on PC later this year. The title is a homage to W:A given it is its 10th anniversary. It's nowhere near being a mesh of W2 and W:A.
We suspect the PC version will have a different title, but nothing has been confirmed.
Ah yes, and it's 2d indeed. Worms 4 was the last 3d title, since then they've released 6 2d titles, two for handhelds, two for XBLA, one for the wii(almost forgot that one) and one for PSN.

As for your edited question, it seems that 10 years of progress has only brought us prettier graphics and hats at the expense of customization and depth. The game does have a few new weapons (some interesting new additions like the Magnet, Lighting Strike and Buffalo of Lies), but they did cut several weapons from W:A.

8 Jul 2009, 11:52
I've been playing Crazy Planets on Facebook, which is similar to Worms in some respects but the main thing I'd like to see Team17 steal from that game is the round levels.
Each level is a planet you can walk around. It takes about 30 seconds to walk around the entire planet, so they're not very big. It's cool shooting bazookas round the planet twice before they hit the target. I wouldn't want a Worms game dedicated purely to planet style levels but as an option it would be cool.

The difference in Crazy Planets is that the planet/camera rotates so that you're always on the top but you can move the camera left/right. The camera zooms out so you can see yourself on the planet and rotates so you can see further away.
This does look interesting, though.
edit: Now that I've messed about with it I'm less interested. I may not have found the optimum setting yet but it still feels like it wouldn't work properly in a game. I look forward to finding out, though :)

I remember playing a game a long time ago that was like that, well maybe more like gunbound actually. But unlike the game you are talking about this game had many small planets, all with gravity. I can't remember the name of it which really bugs me. Could only be played 2 too 4 people, but that might have just been in the shareware version.
It had some interesting weapons, some that dug through the planets and exploded on the other side, or walking bombs that crawled over holes made by weapons.
Gah, now I really want to find it!

I find it best just to use a regular map since then you can't predict how the gravity's gonna react relative to the map, so everything can get crazy insane and it's hilarious.
I might eventually post the fun fun fun adventures me, Mad and Paul had with that once.

the formula in W:A was perfect.
I'd swap W:A with Worms2, but that's just me :)

W2:A for PC will (solely) be distributed via Steam.
And seeing that W2:A only cost 800 MS points on XBLA, I'd suspect that it will be somewhere in the 10-15€ range on Steam too, which is very nice.
If a Mac release is true, I'm wondering how it will get distributed there.
Does Apple have some digital distribution system? Does iTunes work for games too?
Otherwise I'd think that they'd make a retail hybrid disk release.

And yet, people criticise WWP apparently only out of spite, considering the flexibility it brought.

My point was that people seem to ignore WWP...my point was that they ignore it because it's effectively the same as W:A and everyone already owned and loved W:A when WWP was released. W:A had the ranking system so the community was established better in W:A even after the removal of said ranks.

Well to be fair at the time I had WWP and didn't have W:A - and yet I still ignore WWP now. It's hard not to, what with W:A having resizable custom maps and the Rubberworms mod and stuff.
Then again, I haven't played W:A in a while either. There's too many other games now.

worMatty
12 Jul 2009, 12:43
It's silly to ignore WWP just because W:A was better than W:2. WWP has a lot of cool features.
I just WISH it had a decent random WormPot picker like a slot machine, where you pull the handle, you get some random choices and are forced to start the game with them :-)
I hope, when WWP can be used to join WormNET 1, it works like the beta with older versions, where you will play WWP if others are using it but W:A if they are not.

Muzer
12 Jul 2009, 13:03
WWP isn't going to be able to be used to join WormNET1. It's a pack that installs W:A in a separate location. You can then start W:A or WWP with the same CD. But you can't use WWP and W:A together in the same game.

Well, they implemented exactly that feature in W3D, a slot machine with 3 reels, buttons to spin them separately and a large handle to spin them randomly.
and are forced to start the game with them
That would actually be a nice optional feature!
Suggest it for WA!

AFAIR, the v4.0 patch (or even earlier) will enable to play WA with a WWP CD, because most of the streaming data (music, maps, missions) are the same.
You will however not be able to play WWP with a WA CD.
For that, the patch would need to contain all the extra trainings, missions and multiplayer missions from WA and probably some more.
IIRC, a feature to import them is planned or has been discussed, also for importing W2 stuff.

I was thinking about this a couple of days ago. The only reason I got WWP was to play with CoW who had mostly made the switch to XP and couldn't play W:A. They'd have carried on with W:A if they'd not gone to XP.

Much earlier. In fact, I think the ETA was the next beta, though I might be wrong about that (it certainly was at the beginning, it might have changed).

coworker bought it last week and I watched her play the tutorial of it. seemed pretty good for what I saw. lots of weapons and gameplay options for such a small game. I was impressed.
can't give more than a basic review of it, but it seemed to have everything one could ask for in a portable worms game.

Yup.

For a "version 1.0" release I'd say its pretty good. I've certainly had a few hours fun playing it, and only really stopped because I had to go and graduate :p The controls do need a little bit of improvement but once you learn how to get around some of the glitches, its fine.

It was #1 on the UK iTunes store the day after release, and is in fact still the #1 app. It certainly seems to get some solid reviews on the UK app store.
Given its so cheap I'd definitely buy it - heck, I did :p

Gamesurge? No; haven't been on for a long time - not since I "fixed" (or something) the GameSurge staff script when mIRC made some doo-di programming change with a newer version.
In fact I haven't been keeping track of much of anything - my iLife has mostly vanished with the onset of pairing up with someone special, having two dogs to walk several times a day, a job that gives me money and lots of bills that take it all away again.
