Adding more things to Worms 4?

[Mike_Samak]

Hi, I'm new here and recently got myself a copy of Worms 4 Mayhem (Having played the PS2 version for a year now) for the PC and learnt to tweak the weapons, edit the HUD and adding more flags to the game. Now my question is, is it possible to add more objects into the game like Character Attachements and Weapons? I've been concentrating on adding a new hat to the game, the name of the hat comes up but doesn't show the object. But if I change the name of the mesh ID to one of the original objects, I'm able to see the object and able to change the scale, rotations etc.

Is it possible? If so I presume it's quite hard and involves lua scripts etc.?
Thanks!

About crate a hat and those things,I don`t think it so.
But you can tweak the weapons and the HUD. there is guides about that.

[Mike_Samak]

Thanks for the reply. I did mention that I know how to tweak weapons etc. Thanks anyway! Yeah it looks like it but at the moment, I'm able to make a 'copy' of one of the original worm attachements, and able to change the scale, rotations without effecting the original. But when I edit the wormsattachement.xml and change the meshid of the object I want to add, it doesn't show up when I go and look for it within the game. So I presume that the id information is written in the XOM file?

MMM,I haven`t got many idea but,maybe.If is that,I tell you,I heard somewhere that you can turn .xom fiñes into .xan.I don`t know if it work yet because I didn`t test.
I have a question for you now:where`s the shotgun for tweak? I mean,I took a look into
WeapTwk but,where`s the exactly the shotgun? Can you tell me,plz?

[Mike_Samak]

Ok, will look into that. Tried editing the XOM file using UltraEdit but didn't work, yeah when you open up the file using notepad, press Crtl and F, then type in shotgun and click on find. You'll have to click find 6 times I think to get to the part where you can tweak the shotgun. Hope that helps.

Dont listen this Raul1997, we can add new hats or other things to the game. I just did a new post about my W4HatLoader. =)

[raul1997]

Ah,Thx for post it.LOL........

I`m just saying:"Go at the middle of it and you`ll find it"

Changing the MeshID should work fine, you probably put a wrong one in. Unless you were trying to add a custom model, which isn't currently possible because the "resource list" that loads resources into the game seems to be hard-coded. Haven't found any file that even remotely looks like a resource list.

So yeah, the only way to load custom models is to overwrite placeholder models, there are a few of these that are never used, so if you replace them with something else, it won't affect the game at all. I think that's what Marie's HatLoader does, actually.

MMM,I haven`t got many idea but,maybe.If is that,I tell you,I heard somewhere that you can turn .xom fiñes into .xan.I don`t know if it work yet because I didn`t test.

Ignore that guy, he's writing nonsense, and actually, he doesn't even know how to tweak, hence his question about how to modify the shotgun.

[^^Marie^^]

Yes, exactly. It works as _Killburn said. Take care about that we have limited unused MeshID's...

PD: Thanks Killburn for your tips, Im doing a W4 new app, called W4-Plus!... when I have it more perfected I'd like you to advise/help/collaborate me/with me. I got AlexBond to do a module for me.... I'll keep you informed...

[Mike_Samak]

Hey, thx for the reply. Yeah was adding a custom model into the game, but manage to manually add a custom hat by replacing one of the unused MeshID's. As Marie explained in one of her threads over at vampyres. Which the Hatloader does perfectly so thx for the program Marie!

What will W4-Plus! be able to do once it's finished?

MMM,I haven`t got many idea but,maybe.If is that,I tell you,I heard somewhere that you can turn .xom fiñes into .xan.I don`t know if it work yet because I didn`t test.

Haha thx for the 'tip'!

[raul1997]

Um,_Kilburn I heard somewhere in this forum that I can modify things,but I didn`t know if is true or not but well...
P.S:why my without sense quetions haven`t got answers?XDD I`m a freak guy XDDD
Yeah,I don`t tweak really.I really wanted to tweak the shotgun.
