RE the CD check - The actual copy protection has been removed. The game asks for the CD currently because there actually is a lot of data on the CD the game *needs* - If you load the game main menu, then eject the CD, then start a new game I'd assume breakage.

Well in that case, the game should have an button in the options menu that copies all from the CD to a data directory on the hard drive e.g. ...Worms Armageddon\Data\everything that's on the CD\ and put a script in the registry that says it's been done (and optionally the location the data is in).
You click on the button and message comes up saying "You are about to copy all the data from the Worms Armageddon CD to the Worms Armageddon Directory on your hard drive. This procedure will require xxx amount of MB of hard disk space" (And optionally show how much space you have on your drive).
THAT...
...would be nice. :D

hmmm, a nice idea with the CD stuff, it might even allow trymedia people to play again with the latest patch!
It would be good if WA did a CRC check of the maps you already have, so you didn't have to redownload the same map everytime you join a game.
very good idea!
i often got annoyed if i had to wait >1min to download a map half across the world,
only to see that it's one i already got...
also, maps could be automatically saved in a folder like the game replays!
most maps are smaller than the average replay...

And then somebody with the trymedia version (non-paid, the trial), just finds out the folder structure of the copied CD with the new patch, replaces the exe and tada! Full version of the game.
Yeah.
That. Idea. Is. BRILLIANT! I think there should be an option to choose how many Worm Selects are in a scheme.
P.S. All hail Deadcode!

well, it would still be illegal!

You need to take a closer look at the weapon part of the scheme editor screen in W:A again......bottom right.
Been available since superweapons were made selectable in schemes eons ago.

It'd be illegal yes, but who would really care? (Well, Team17 and Trymedia obviously). It wouldn't stop people though. Trymedia is great at the moment in a way because pirating it is damn difficult.
Oh, OK. Now my brain's supply of ideas has run out. I need to think about what to suggest... but speaking of Trymedia, they REALLY need to lower their prices for Worms games. (oops... I went off topic again! please don't ban me, O Mighty Spadge!)

I was just wondering if this has ever been mentioned.When your falling after scratching a wall when roping and you hit space at the same time your chute opens, it doesn't give you a chance to fire the rope.instead, you lose control as if the chute was never fired.
Ooh! Ooh! I got another idea! The ability to choose your nationality flag like in Worms 2!
Ooh! Ooh! I got another idea! The ability to choose your nationality flag like in Worms 2!
you can do that yourself!
just change the region settings in windows!
bad idea anyway!
it does indicate where a player resides & can give an idea of what connection speed you can expect!
and what language you have to speak!
furthermore, i'm often just looking for specific country flags to find my clan comrades quickly!
(i somewhat have memorized their names in conjunction with the correct flag)
Oh. Sorry. Now I'm out of ideas again. I'll tell you guys if I cook something up to suggest.

That gave me an idea. Being an experienced Fiddler master, I know that this isn't easy, but when you fire the chute, could the rope be selected and when you're on the rope, have the chute selected?

In that case can we move the girder to the end of the F7 cycle or prevent it from being selected when a worm is moving (not falling or on a chute as some people are actually quick enough to place girders during the fall. Whether or not they use the F key is another matter)

The problem would be the size of the sound files, they are pretty large.
You could add MP3-support in one of the future update, along with an automatic wav-to-mp3 converter which converts all the existing soundbank files (lol).
-> low-bandwith-problem: Just make an option to turn it off.
And btw, the loading time is still ~6sec, although every map is in a folder.

A better idea would be the numpad-configuration of the silkworm-patch (1 - Rope, 3 - Chute etc.)

But most players do. It is optional anyway + you can change your keyb-layout with some programs.

Excellent idea. Also, It would be nice to have the teleport moved to the front of the cycle, since it would probably be the most likely used F7 tool when you have 3 seconds left on turn time. I bet it would **** a lot of people off though, having to get used to the new cycle (parachute especially)
Run... Teleport is on the F8 key, and the likely reason that it isn't first, is because the Ninja Rope and Parachute take up the first two positions. However, I wouldn't mind it being moved in front of the bungee (number 3 on that row).
add MP3-support in one of the future update
mp3 is a no-no in this case!
t17 would have to pay royalties to fraunhofer and/or thompson, afaik!
there was a discussion about the totally free ogg vorbis though...

Deadcode made a program that enabled "global macros" which selected the chute when you fired the rope.I think it was in Constipated Silkworm.Or was it Anellid?...

I don't think people would mind - as long as items being moved didn't move to different F keys. To be fair I'd be annoyed if say the 'nades and cluster bomb weren't first in the cycle, but I wouldn't mind having targeted weapons or utilities at the end, because in all fairness most of those last second teleport/homing missile attemps fail.
I would prefer to play the game sans any extra apps. If fiddler like feature etc were built into the beta, then fine. Otherwise I'd prefer they not be used (in online games at least).
One way to tackle the above mentioned problems would be to allow players to bind their own custom keys (keyboard not neccesarily F keys). This would allow old skool peeps to continue using the stand key formats whilst allowing other players the choice of opening or accessing one wepon/utility over another.
I got another idea! Ya know that volume bar in the options and pause menu? Make it three seperate bars for music, sound, and voices so that you can listen to your own music and hear game sounds and voices! Or eliminate sound/voices if you wanted to.

Thats why I said "lol".
I don´t know why people have problems with the girder/teleporter/homing cycle. I always press F2 or something when I'm starting a new cycle (so that the Homing/Teleporter stuff won't come into my way).

One day DaSzab will come up with something not already in the game.
so that you can listen to your own music and hear game sounds and voices! Or eliminate sound/voices if you wanted to.
You can already listen to your own music while hearing sounds/voices if you just turn the audio ambience off in the options screen (big red X) This disables the in-game music, allowing you to listen to your own music, but still allows you to hear sounds & voices. If you then wanted to eliminate sounds/voices you only have to move the volume bar to 0%
This is the 3rd time (at least) you've made a suggestion for something that is already included in W:A. Please refrain in future, or at least think, before you request anything else.
Well, he did somewhat suggest something that was already in the game, but not exactly. Y'see, you can't get rid of the voices without getting rid of the sounds, or vice versa. You also can't get rid of voices and sounds without getting rid of the music. I mean, sure, you could make a bunch of blank wav files and replace the in-game stuff, but that'd be time consuming and too hard to de-impliment if you wanted the sounds back. Now, I don't know exactly why you would want to do any of that, but it isn't available in the game.
I mean, sure, you could make a bunch of blank wav files and replace the in-game stuff.
Just remove the files. (and keep a backup folder for restore)
I only got 8 sounds in my sounds folder, cause i don't need more, and can't handle more (would increase lag).
So that's just 8 files, and no blank files to replace the others.
but it isn't available in the game
yeah!
w2 had a better configuration for the sound & music, iirc!
I'll have to check before I suggest something next time. Sue me. (not literally)

That's a dumb reply, I already said the game was easy to pirate. Try any filesharing program dude, WA is there in it's full CD form. A 1 hour download, a couple clicks with daemon-tools and your playing on wormnet.
Trymedia data is encoded and arranged different then the main game, thus the reason the patch doesn't work with it. If it was so trivial to simply copy the data over and have it work, don't you think theyd have the patch work with it? ... It's not so simple, the way i mention above is much easier. And besides no one pirates really old games like this, most people don't know of it's existance.. Those that do.. learn from friends, who then copy there CD and give it to them. Even if you wanted to pay for the game today, youd have a hard time doing so since it's really hard to find, even online.
MP3 is not owned by Fraunhaufer. People just think that because the codec included with windows is created by them. LAME is a completely free mp3 codec that deadcode could easily implement into WA.

Yes, but not everybody on the internet knows how to warez/fancies downloading a p2p program. And lots of people pirate games like this, you'd be surprised. You know, what with the fact that if nobody pirated it then copies of it on bittorrent would disappear insanely quickly, and the sources on other p2p programs would drop as people stop sharing/delete/move the ISO.
And anyway, just because there is a way to pirate it, there's no point in Team17 saying "hay guys lets giv tehm other wayz." Copy protection is always broken and everyone knows that, but people still put it on - even if only to stop *some* people.
As for buying it online:

Oh look, you can buy WA. That took me all of three seconds to find. Sure, it's *hard* to find.

When I first played WA (not so long, a year ago or so I guess) no one [near me] knew about the game (here in MX), except my cousins, who were noobs at it. I asked for it in many places, and nothing [Lucky me we already had it].
But a few months ago something happened, seemed like everybody wanted to play WA, like a fashion. Every CD-pirate selling place (and legal stands) had it, magically raised from who knows where; I asked [again] and they said they always had it (sure, I wdouldn't remember if they tell me: "THIS game you want like no other one costs $450 pesos" [like $40 usd]).
This shows than even old, forgotten games can be sooo good that they raise from the oblivion and cause a shake again (and catch the attention of the friends of illegality).

I am probably the only person who uses this feature anymore, but in the map editor, there's been such a big 'craze' about .png's in the list box where the .bit's go, that we've all forgotten the import button. The other day i wen in there to save .bmp as a .png and on attempt to import it, W: A quit to the desktop. Could you look into this please and release a fix as soon as possible, preferably in the next few days? (you've done it once before anyway.)

Yes, but it needs to be of a certain type colour-wise and you get it right if you just save as .bmp, import and .png it.

i was feeling schizophrenic.
yes, me too.
A suggestion.
In options you have the option to adjust the games audio volume and choose to enable audio or not. But I was woundering - why not split the audio volume and by this I mean: Have a volume control for SOUNDS and a volume control for the MUSIC. So you could then turn up the background music to be very loud while the other sounds such as worm speeches and blast noises are quiet.
Any good or not?

deadcode, please bring back the generate button in the map editor!
it was funny to generate a map from some random characters or a name entered.
this feature is available in w2, wwp & w3d (don't know about forts & w4m) and kind of stands for the randomness of the woms franchise.
i think patches shouldn't remove features, regardless how little it was used.
the re-seed option should still be kept though.

Well if anyone has an estimate or any idea as when this 4.0 beta patch is supposed to come out enabling wormpot :D plz let me know. And thanks for your help
The W:A 4.0 beta patch will be out when you see an obscene number of threads in this forum and the beta patch forum celebrating it's release. Alternatively, it will be when a news post is made in the patch forum stating it's release.
In other words, you get it when you get it.

that doesn't mean you're not just sitting there staring at the computer ;). And it also doesn't mean you want your status to be automatically set to away, whether or not you're there. There may be reasons why people don't use it.

Or buy WoW and forget about W:A! ;)
All right, I may get stabbed for this, but here it goes. Is there anyway to implement gamepad support? Like, I know there's a keychanger where you can assign the spacebar to another key if it's shot. Would there be a way, either in an external program, or as a patch, to make key mapping to a gamepad? I remember playing on the Playstation, and a controller is much easier to pass to a friend than moving aside or passing a keyboard. Just as thought, doesn't have to be in this 4.0 Beta, but on like 1-5 or some scale, how difficult would gamepad implemention be?
What makes you think that a third-party key changer won't let you assign game commands to a joypad, Sark? I'm pretty sure it worked for me when I tried it with KeyChange.

Die, Alex [and Liam and everyone else stuck on MMO games]!Hmm, I guess it must have just been my keychanger I had, I'll look for a few more then!
EDIT: Alright, I looked around, most of the Joy to Key converters I find either can't emulate the mouse or mouse clicks, or when it comes to setting fuses I have to assign each number to its own button (not enough buttons). Are there any recomendations for a windows app, freeware or not? I'll keep looking in the meantime.

Joy2Key? Hmmm I'll google that. Mind PMing me the setup you got? Minus customs of course. I don't quiet remember the PS One setup, but I could look it up also.

Hot damn. I don't know what to say. This could possibly be the oldest game with ongoing support. Two thumbs up to you Deadcode and those supporting you at Team 17. Seriously, at the rate you're cracking the bugs, we're going to have a perfect game in no time :) ! Keep up the good work.
P.S. I've started a thread a couple of days ago about the missing missions for PC that are on the Playstation version [thread named: Worms Armageddon Extended]. Is there anything that can be done about that? If not, no worries - your doing a kickass job at the moment, but if there's anything you or Team 17 can work out...I know quite a lot of die-hard fans and casual gamers that would be overjoyed ;) .

i emailed t17 last night to ask for a new patch with a /kick feature to get rid of them dumb ass cows. they sent me an email telling me to post it on here for some reason. am i the only person who feels that hosts should be able to boot people from a game rather then having to KTC which messes the whole game up?
Madmaxquinn
24 Aug 2005, 16:20
Dunno what KTC means (too much l33t and acronyms going around these days). Anyway, I remember playing a game years back where all players had the oppurtnity to vote on whether to end a game.
I'd like to turn that on its head and suggest if someone hasn't posted /afk (away from keyboard) or /away or whatever the switch is nowerdays that after 1 turn of inactivity the remaing players get the opportunity to vote (kick) that player out.
Also, if ranks ever come back I think a player should have the chance to request a vote for them to leave. If all (or 80%) of voters agree then they can leave suffering a minor (if at all) penalty rather than just quitting and leaving the game in limbo.
On a personal note I'd love a system that stops people who often quit from games just before or at the end a round from hosting or joining games with more than 1 round for (a) month(s).
That last idea wouldn't work as some people may have to leave at that time.

Quite a few testers have batty ropes, if you can find them on W:A, they can host a Batty-rope enabled game for you, I had the luck of playing on one, was fun doing shoppa (or incredibly insance RR maps) with them, makes for new hiding places and what not.
Any word on whether or not 4.0 will include hosts to make a game with a set # of max players? Sucks trying to setup somethin for 3 players, just to have a full room just as you select a map and boot half the guys out.

Should be released around the early days of September if what I was told was accurate info from that tester.
but I'll bet it's just about impossible.
It's possible, main problem being is writing the huge amount of script required for them to be able to rope around gracefully like we can to maneuver the map quickly.

I really want the AI teams to be able to use more weapons and that is possible!!!!
But I don't know how hard it would be for Deadcode to impliment this.
I will now just bring up the mention of how worms On the Megadrive (Gensis) could use the following weapons: Blowtorch, neumatic drill, Dragon ball.
And yet on WA AI worms cant use these weapons.
Also making them use Morta shouldn't be so hard to work out, after all you do just point it in the air and hope it falls where you want it to land and in my case it usally does :p

Just came accross another suggestion, what about having the option to use your own BGM (back ground music) instead of the default tracks on the CD.
There will have to be a new folder made somewhere.

you would have to convert your music to .wav format then, as t17 would have to pay for implementing mp3 support into their game, afaik.
ogg vorbis support would help, i guess, though you then would have to convert everything to .ogg format...

To be honest, most people who want to listen to different music just have Winamp running in the background. That way you can have more tracks on the playlist, which is a lot better than just having one CD.
Winamp running in the background
that would have been my next suggestion.
with global hotkeys or extra buttons on your keyboard you can nicely control winamp from within the game.
Madmaxquinn
6 Sep 2005, 21:38
AFAIK the latest version of winamp allows you to control it with hotkeys even if you have another app fullscreen, though I think that option is off by default.
I'd suggest you have your mp3s on a different hard disk if you have one. Would mean less IO activity on the disk that W:A is installed on.
If you're using Winamp, try changing Winamp buffer settings, I think it's one of the input plugins. It can start preloading the next song if you tell it to, so maybe you can get it changing songs smoothly.
is there any chance of colour-preferences and translucent health/names on worms? :)

v3.6.21.2 Beta Update 27.09.2004
v3.6.21.3 Beta Update 28.09.2004

I'm pretty sure it was put there with the 3.6.19.7 (or whatever the first Deadcode patch was).
So true Glenn.
v3.6.19.7 Beta Update (2004.02.09)
Features
• Allow a host to limit the number of players joining, simply by resizing the upper-left player list box. To do so, click and drag the bottom edge of this box. (In v3.5 pre-beta 3 Avacado build, this wasn't working 100% — now it is.)

i still think that there should be some kind of (double)arrow or button to indicate it.

How do you know where it's up to?
Deadcode could say he's done x, y, and z. But there's also, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j that we know of, and then k, l, m, n, o, p, and q that people don't know of. Plus r, s, t, u, v and w that Deadcode doesn't even know of yet but that he will think of.
Deadcode doesn't plan out the next two hundred patches writing down what features will make up each patch. He releases them when he releases them.
As such, there is no way of knowing where he is up to, or how long it will take.
Learn to interpret English please. Face value sucks the big one. Thanks.
And he didn't say he wanted to know where it's up to anyway. He asked for the status, which could mean many things, including time.

Even got 99 crates on rifle range (5 minutes 2 sec i think). So come on what do I do to get 100%?
If I remember correctly you had to complete every mission, deathmath etc. without a single fail and/or worm dying. Damn near impossible if you ask me. Fat chance I'm going to recreate my team to try and get 100% even with the team backup utility installed.

And he didn't say he wanted to know where it's up to anyway. He asked for the status, which could mean many things, including time.
You suck.
What I wanted to know is how far completed the patch is. Has he started yet? Is it half done? Is he in the final testing stage? We don't know, and I think he should let us know.

deadcode has been releasing beta updates every few months since 9th of august 2002.
be glad that he did that and not wait until the whole patch is completed.
if you have a look at the readme, you'll see for yourself how fast he is progressing and where he is at the moment.

There haven't been any updates since April. I think he should release a beta update that will make Worms more compatible with newer video cards.

keep cool.
•With some video cards (e.g. NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT) and drivers, W:A's front end would have a very slow refresh rate, resulting in extreme unresponsiveness.
Thanks, I get it now but looks like it is too late. unless someone can give me a utility which will wipe my deathmatch data......really this should be in the manual and made clear.
If i would have known I would have got 100%.
What is the diff between 85% and 100% anyway? extra weapons???

Be a better WA player......
sorry for double post but i just noticed this sarcastic fellow. II bet you haven't beat my rifle record, and in any case I was asking for help not ridicule off a low life worm! (excuse pun)
If you get 100% you unlock the "fullwormage", a scheme with every weapon set at infinite. Also you get the ability to set ammunition numbers for super weapons in the weapon editor.
You can unlock the full wormage without beating anything though:

If you get 100% you unlock the "fullwormage
no, you don't need 100%.
you don't need gold on every mission.
Also you get the ability to set ammunition numbers for super weapons in the weapon editor.
really?
deadcode has coupled this with winning the full wormage?
Yeah, otherwise there's not really much incentive to get the full wormage if you can make it anyway in the editor. It makes sense.

You don't know anything about me, for your information I could be the best player at WA and beaten your records 3 times over :p
But due to the laws of realality I havn't.
I don't know what percentage I've got or what crate score I've got on any of my missions, I stopped playing the game ever since the front end runs soo slow on my new computer and on this computer Windows doesn't think this computer has a sound card (which is built into the motherboard)
But WA isn't one of those games for me where I must complete ever aspect of it.
As long as you enjoy the way you play the game - your happy.
since the front end runs soo slow on my new computer
this has already been fixed for the next update.
i can say it works for me. (v3.6.26.3d pre; gf6600 with forceware 77.77)
Windows doesn't think this computer has a sound card (which is built into the motherboard)
on-board soundchips can normally be deactivated by a setting in bios and/or a jumper or switch on the motherboard.
maybe that's the case.

Yeah windows said so in the help thing.
But it is activated...the only other situation why it doesn't work is that it is not compatible with the windows OS.
when I has windows XP home - it worked,
when I has windows XP Pro - it worked,
when I has windows XP Pro SP2 - it doesn't!!!!!!!!

Someone lock this sodding thread already.

or at least remove the sticky thing.
i think a thread with the title "www.nanacide.com/wahelp" should be sticky on top of the forum.
A reply from deadcode would not go amiss you know, this is the beta 4 thread. Busy or not I would have posted here once in a millennia!

i have seen people have said that the v4 patch will be spot on, many features would be missing, /kick feature, objective settings, ie weaponms menu not accesable untill crate collected, bigger maps etc. WA has loads of things that can improve it.

can nobody say to how % it is finished ??
if you don't know what the whole 100% is, you can't give any relative values.
only deadcode knows. and maybe santa clause. and the easter bunny.
maybe the MI6/CIA/FSB have a clue too.

Locked?
People use this thread to make plauseable suggestions, if something is going to be done then unsticky it but keep it open.

I have a suggestion:
In the multiplayer screen, next to (or underneath) the buttons: "Save" and "Delete", there should be a button that shows "View Rules" if it sees there is a txt. file with the same name as the scheme in the schemes folder. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the maps and schemes menus run on that (or a similar) premise?

I have a suggestion:
This is pretty important. In fact I reckon it's so important that it should be under bugfix (although I am convinced that this problem was intentional and decided on at an early date - I don't blame you guys).
Can the order of in-game graphics levels be changed (when you press insert) so that the background debris thingies come very early in the order? I want this so I can have optimal performance and yet still be able to judge the wind resistance for my weapons.
EDIT: Whoops! Houston, we have a problem! Double posting is back for the quick replies... Sel might wanna fix that, ay?...
I want this so I can have optimal performance and yet still be able to judge the wind resistance for my weapons.
You must have an extremely old computer if background information makes any noticable difference to performance.
So old would such a computer be, infact, that I don't believe it would be worth implementing such a feature ;)
Anyway, why can't you use the wind bar? (I'm sure you saw this question coming so I'm surprised you didn't anticipate it with a reply)
use the wind bar
that's what i use.
i mostly don't recognize the falling debris.

I'm with Danger. I like to just have the windy bits and none off the of the background stuff. For me it is a matter of preference, not performance.

Not if I have it on the absolute top resolution possible. I've tested and it makes so much difference in performance that it's not funny. Keep in mind, regardless of the power and potential of the hardware, the graphic levels on full are virtually (and maybe even more than) double the amount of graphics than at minimum. The performance difference when I tested it even surprised me.
Anyway, why can't you use the wind bar? (I'm sure you saw this question coming so I'm surprised you didn't anticipate it with a reply)
I did actually see the question coming, I just didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to ask it.
Unlike some of you, some of us use both the wind bar AND the debris. And some of us don't even use the wind bar at all. For me, the debris is much easier*. It's an atmosphere sort of thing where you judge the wind by your 'emotions' and feelings based on the experience you have gained by playing. The wind bar is good for some people because it uses the technical approach.
*I do double-check with the wind bar, though. I use both sides of the coin.

Neither do little pink squirmy things, for that matter. Go figure.
