Maps

[Bakes]

Hello. I am new to Team17 Forums, but I am not new to Worms: Armageddon. I will be using this thread to share all the maps that I have and will be creating.

Maps in Ping format.

Maps in Bitmap format (In case you hate it when the Pings kill background stuff like wind particles and background art.

Post any requests for map ideas and I'll do my best to make them.

You seem to be a bit behind in the times. Worms Armageddon currently supports maps with up to 113 colors and of *.png compression. The Import feature isn't popular anymore. I suggest you convert all your maps to *.png format.

Use the following steps to create a WA-compatible map in Adobe Photoshop:


draw or open your map
select File -> Save for Web (or Save for Web & Devices in CS3)
In the options in the right, set the following options:

Set Optimized file format to PNG-8
uncheck Transparency (if it was checked)
Set Maximum number of colors in Color Table to 113 or below (see http://worms2d.info/Colour_map for details on side effects of using colour ranges)
play with the Color reduction algorithm and Dither algorithm options until your map looks nice, increase/decrease the number of colours accordingly
if there is no black in the colour palette (e.g. Mole Shopper maps), you'll have to add it manually (set Colour reduction algorithm to Custom, choose the black colour using the controls to the left, and click the Add color ("Adds eyedropper color to palette") button

click Save, enter a file name.
