Lex, I know recently that you are working on programming, and I have a GREAT idea.

For those of you that don't know, by using CyberShadow's WormKit module file override, you can edit missions (to find out how see this (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=30820) thread).

Well Lex, how about you create a program that can edit the mission files more easily, like Scheme Works does with schemes? You could have a program like that that has weapon options and turn time and all the other normal options but also has options such as 'Mission complete type (like if you collect a crate or kill or the enemies to win)' or 'CPU level selection' and things like that that can only be used in missions. You would save the mission file to Worms Armageddon\Data\Mission (create the mission folder) and would most likely just edit the first mission 'Pumpkin Problems' (mission0.wam). This would only work if FileOverride is activated. If you got sick of your mission and wanted to go back to the normal mission, you just delete the .wam file from your WA directory.

Some other ideas I have for this is a terrain selector for the missions, and you could select where the worms start off.

So Lex, do you think you can do this? If not is there anyone else that could?

pretty much doable in fiddler... just wait for the next update.

Really? DAMN!

But this would be much easier than installing fiddler.

the next update wont need you to do any finicky crap like you do to get fiddler to work with wa 3.0

im not 100% sure that the next update will contain this feature... i've seen and heard some alpha's :) but cant reveal anything yet... (need some actual info)

That sounds like a great idea, mr_awesome, and I have already considered that myself. :) I'm currently working on a project already, but after I finish that, I may just do this! Thanks for the suggestion! :D

Thanks Lex. It was funny because I was fiddling with missions on the 32-bit downstairs computer and then an hour later I was cleaning up dinner and it hit me like brick wall! I was aching to finish cleaning up so I could post it!

Anyway thanks for considering this!

Mehehehe. It's very exciting to see a topic starting with my name iterated thrice.

It's something minor and for my own learning experience; nothing to be excited about. I don't really want to say, even. :p
