I need some tips on roping...

[trinifella]

I've started playin this game 2 days ago and still can't seem to get the hang of gettin over a hump or something with the rope. I'll give a clear example: mission 7 i think (the mushroom one). When you start off, you have to rope over the first mushroom. I can do it sometimes but i need to learn how to do it efficiently and quickly. I'll practice but i was hoping to get a couple pointers as to the basics of this skill.

Its really impossible to tell how to use rope, you need to learn it yourself. Go to wormnet and join games '' Shoppa/Shopper '', you learn basic skills of roping quickly there.

There are some rules for the gametype though. If you dont follow them you'll get kicked for sure.

- ABL = All but last, meaning dont attack player who is last on standings ( except if its 1v1 ).
- AFR = Attack from rope ( Except if it is handgun or similar )
-CBA = Crate before attack, meaning dont attack anyone if you havent collected crate on your current turn

Thats almost it I guess, you'll learn quicker on Wormnet than practicing on your own so I suggest you to play this scheme for example

on some shoppas they might say ktl instead of abl, that means "Kill the leader", you can probably guess that in those youa re only allowed to kill the person in 1st.


Oh, and to get the standings permanently displayed press shift+delete

Forgot to mention those. Btw, Muzer, do you ( or someone else ) know why my shift+delete doesnt work, If I push them nothing happens, the teams are displayed by default all the time and it annoys me if lots of ppl playing cause there are lots of energy bars and such

I'll have a stab at explaining some basics, some of these are very low level so my apologies if they seem patronising.

Firstly, just using the left and right arrow keys isn't going to get you very far at all. To add speed, and thus more swing, to your roping, hold up as you swing, this will pull in the rope as well as giving your worm more speed.

To keep this up, you need to bounce your worm off the walls. I don't mean reshooting the rope, I mean... well crashing into a wall\floor\ceiling whilst still on the rope. Holding the UP arrow again here keeps your speed up.

Once you are swinging high enough and are approaching the hump you need to get over, start to lengthen the rope (press down) and then hold the direction that you want to go, hopefully you'll be close enough to vertical for it to work. (For mission 7 you'll be holding left here).

Basically you want to swing yourself with enough speed to get your worm to be upside down and then be far enough away from the mushroom so that the rebound doesn't send you right back down to where you started.

Hopefully that's at least somewhat helpful.

As already mentioned, using the UP arrow as well as the others helps build up and keep your speed.

Mostly it's just practice. There are a few tricks that can make you move really fast, that require a degree of proficiency, but I rarely bother.

Nice job of explaining this man. Makes alot of sense and yea ur right maybe i wasn't far enough from the mushroom!!! i see now what im supposed to do. Everyone thanks for your help and I'll be glad for more!

To keep this up, you need to bounce your worm off the walls. I don't mean reshooting the rope, I mean... well crashing into a wall\floor\ceiling whilst still on the rope. Holding the UP arrow again here keeps your speed up.Actually, if you just hold up as you bounce, without holding either left or right, you will lose about half of your velocity. When bouncing off a wall, make sure you're holding either right or left to retain your speed.
