using colour maps AND fiddler

[kevinman44]

:( I deicided to get W:A under the impression that I could both use te fiddler AND rgb colour maps, which I apparently cant use in sync thanks to the fiddelr not being compatible with the beta, and the colour maps only working on the beta.

Is there ANY way to be able to use both?!

thanks

Yes. For offline games, you can import color (bmp for example) maps from the map editor.

Just place file in user\import, and click the floppy icon to import it.

Yes. http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=22649&highlight=fiddler+windows

No, if you want to play .png color maps online, as 1) Fiddler doesn't support the beta updates which are needed for .png support and 2) Fiddler doesn't work online anyway.

[Muzer]

I thought you were clever bonz!
I'll spell it out to you.
I-f- -y-o-u- -f-o-l-l-o-w- -m-y- -l-i-n-k-,- -i-t- -t-e-l-l-s- -y-o-u- -h-o-w- -t-o- -d-o- -m-u-l.. Oh what the heck, I'll just do it normally. ...multiple installations of WA yo allow the fiddler and beta patch to run 2getha!

[kevinman44]

So as I understand it, I can both use the fiddler AND PNG maps OFFLINE.

Is this correct?

Also, I know with the beta you can't do PNG maps on wormnet, but is it possible to use through other online methods, including tcp/ip etc?

Thank you

[kevinman44]

Wow you replied at the EXACT same time as me lol. So if do the multiple-Worms thingy I can use both simultaneously?

[Muzer]

Oh, right. Simultaneously. My bad.

You can do colour maps offline, as someone said, by turning the PNGs into BMP, or JPG, and putting them in \user\import , and clicking on the floppy disk ingame.

But, with 2 versions of the game installed, one that doesn't have the beta patch, and on that does, would I be able to do both Fiddler and Colour Maps ONLINE? because the version with the beta patch would support it, would it not?

[bonz]

*Sigh*
Online color maps = PNG only = beta updates
Fiddler doesn't work with the beta updates, so NO color maps online with it.

[kevinman44]

So if I had 2 installations, one with beta oen without I still wudnt be able to use em both at the same time?

:p sry if im being repetitive, just making sure :D

and if not, wouldn't I be able to use both seperately? what it now soudns liek is that i would not be able to use the fiddler with an online png map, yet i could use them both, just not TOGETHER as one

right? :D

[Plutonic]

that sounds correct

[kevinman44]

i guess ill just have to wait till the update where W:A can load fiddler comes (which i think is part of the upcoming patch)

im guessing at that time they would somewhat be able to work together?

thanks you guys

That's what everyone is waiting for.

Yes, then you will have all the features of the Fiddler together with all the latest benefits of the beta updates.
