What parts of the external beta work offline?

[Dassassin]

This game has the best, most longstanding support for any computer game I've ever seen. That being said, does the beta patch apply only to WormNet? For instance, I'd love to make maps larger than 1920x[whatever] offline. Can this be done?

Switches like 'test stuff' obviously don't work, but is that intrinsic to the nature of the patch, or might this be updated in the future?

Test stuff can be tested "offline" as you can now enter one team only in LAN games. And big maps do work

The only stuff that doesn't work offline is the stuff you have to type into the pre-game lobby, like /teststuff and /150, although you can actually play a lan game with only yourself in it if you want to try these out offline.

Everything else works offline, even rope knocking (check the /tweaks/ folder where the game is installed).

You can't make bit maps of different sizes, but .png maps are fine, check out http://worms2d.info/Colour_map for more info.

Oh! I didn't understand the difference between png maps and bit maps, and combined with no test stuff, I assumed the patch only worked online. I'm glad I was wrong -- thanks guys. :)

the patch updates the whole game in general. Also, hasn't Starcraft been updated for just as long as W:A?
