I run Worms Armageddon 3 from Windows '95 on Virtual PC 3, which is runing on my iMac.

Once I am playing a game or mission in worms, using my Apple Optical Pro Mouse, whenever I scroll around the screen or try to select a weapon in the weapon panel, the pointer moves around randomly all over the place, not where I want it to go.

What is causing this, and how can I stop it?

Back in 20th August 2001, when the forum was more an easy-to-use tech support place.


Those were the days... pre-moderation, weeks before your post appeared.... ;)

Worms Armageddon 3? Is that Worms Armageddon version 3.0?

If they make Worms 5, I want to deliver:

-More Missions and Challenges
-More Items in the Item Shop
-More weapons
-Fixed bugs
-Better landscapes
-Landscape editor
-Compatibility with Windows Vista and DirectX 10

The post where everywhere started...

In 20th April 2007, just 5 days after I joined.

In start 15th April 2007 I didn't know even the forum!

I just wanted this day to search in Internet for "Worms 5", because I had Worms 4 : Mayhem, and I wondered if Worms 5 was out.

First result, a post from a link with title "Are they making Worms 5?". Then I went to this link and I've found the forum.

Then I joined and I finally saw this thread, and then I made a list of what I want Worms 5 to have, and 5 days after my join, I posted this post, which is my first, and then I explored the whole forum and now I'm writing this post.

Hi, somebody who knows how to complete the computer-mission where you have to put landmines behind the computer to activate it? It never works with me. Everytime the mines blew up in my face or they won't sit right. Got any tips?

At least I went to the effort of checking the version number.

Ghost;428972']i brought out my cds again to install, since worms 4 isn't gonna be out in canada yet and i play classic but want to get used to 3d. anyway when i start the setup, everything goes fine, then when it says to enter disc 2 it's ok, but when i have to enter disc 1 again, it always freezes? (says not responding and never does work, i left it on for 30 minutes). what should i do?

I didn´t noticed it was a mine but now that you say i really looks like one
Back then they were unveiling the first W3D screenshot, by showing a small part of it every day, so everyone was speculating as to what the contents of the pic were. :p
I recall I joined this forum because I heard some rumour of a 3d worms game and I was like NO WAI! So I googled for it, and got to this forum. Also because of the christmas competitions.

I'm actually not sure if that's my first post, it may have been on the Christmas compo forum that got deleted.

Edit: Lol, in that same thread you can see The Paladin getting his "Permanent Noob" status and his avatar locked for using fake statuses :p
Shame his custom status was also removed. I still miss mine :(

You surrrrk

What did it used to say?

Used to be a giant rant about the split in the community of that time. The whole CL2K vs. T17F debacle that's been dragging on for quite some time already then.

I would probably have started posting here earlier than 2003 if it wasn't for the fact I was part of the CL2K camp. Never really crossed the line that got some of those awesome people banned because I didn't mind reading the T17 forums. Just didn't like the thought of getting involved in things and the CL2K forums took care of that anyway.

Here are some tips you may or may not know...

1:When using the homing cluster bomb, place it on the targeted enemies head. Then when it explodes the little clusters will be able to get to the target really quickly!

2: Type in as a team name: TEAM17MicroProse (with the capitals included) to get all the weapons!

Any other ones?

I have had a problem about victory locations. I have found that sometimes in multiplayer, the computer can build certain buildings without the nessecary victory lcations. This is expecially annoying when they build a wonder really early on and i can't destroy it because I can only buid keeps. Will the patch fix this?

(It may be that it's just my game because i had the "great statesman" speechbank before i even unlocked it and instead, I wasn't able to use the "american news reader" speechbank.)
This is my first post on this account, which would be my third post in total.
And cheers for Andrew for telling me about that building crate thing, I probably still wouldn't have understood it if it weren't for that.

3D right now, but my opinion constantly shifts.

Edit: I made a long post, realised I was wrong, then completley annhilated it.

I agree with Plasma. The number of weapons is not inherit to the 2D style of games, those games just happen to have more of them. Same with the missions, and the worms...

So Shockdude is really saying which game he prefers, not which style of playing. The two are very different. And the style is the topic of this thread. Amen.

Props to the person who can find a more noobish first post than "I agree with Plasma". :p

Thanks For the guide although I cant do what you did with the bazooka it freezes the game instead my bazooka shoots out a radio and I set it for higher land damadge and it does 55 worm damadge. I've also tweaked stuff like the baseball bat to a surrender flag and the supersheep into a UFO that leaves A crater the Size of a... well lets just say it's BIG! and cool:cool:
also little tweaks like the gas canister blowing up on impact and causing low worm damadge. but I have a few questions how do you get a gun to shoot a hat or crate and how do you get a team weapon to preduce Ghosts skulls and fire? I'm a little confused here:confused:

The reason why I joined was so that I could finally find out how to tweak W4, but then I saw some other threads that looked really cool and decided to stay, and here I am now. :D

Wow, mine wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. 4th Jan 2004.

I agree, I haven't acually found many bugs with the latest patch. However I would only buy a sequle if it was a large improvement from W3D and I would quite like it to contain the classic worms music (like from the origonal worms :) ) in the menus.

However, I also found my third post

People, read the first post. This is exactly what S2K is talking about in his thread. If you don't want to read all the posts, at least read the first one.

If you have more than 500, go into advanced search, in the "Search by user name" box type your name, and in Search Options show results as posts, and under sort results by, chose "Last Posting Date In Ascending Order". Your first post is the first one displayed there.

There, it tells you how to do it if you have more than 500 posts. I myself have more than 2200 posts, and many other users have tonnes more than me. How did you think they got their first posts? :rolleyes:

[Akuryou13]

I think my first post got deleted at some point or something, as I remember it being a post to suggest a tactic for the AI to use, but this is the earliest I can find, and I can't find all my posts in the search. too many results.

and why not!? if they mimic us, then our strategies will have to change until we find a way to beat them with the strategies they're using, that way, in order to beat a simple computer we'd have to become master players, that way online becomes much more interesting cause everyone will be making more advanced moves, and more interesting displays of skill. making the computers copy us will inevitably make us much better players!

Ok, yeah I need help. When I go to two player mode or even on Worm Net in the window that says "Terrain" theres nothing. Nada. Ziltch.
