A Question

[Lugtepik]

Hi again.

I just completed all 45 missions of Worms World Party, and I remember being a kid completing Worms Armageddon. In Worms Armageddon you unlocked the levels so they were playable in multiplayer and I thought it was the same in Worms World Party, at least with the maps that would be suitable for multiplayer like; Pie-Eating Piper, Plane Crazy, JeggCentral, Woodland, Missilebase and Berlin Boss

Is there no way to get those maps for multiplayer?

[Lex]

You can get those maps from your WWP CD and load them in WA with the latest WA beta update which loads Team17's .img files.

[Lugtepik]

In WA? Worms Armageddon? That was not what I meant, I mean I want to play them in WWP Multiplayer, is that still possible?

[Lex]

Yes. With enough reverse-engineering, that's possible. However, it'd be easier to simply get Worms Armageddon, which is the same game but with updates. It has everything WWP has plus tons of great features (http://wormtube.worms2d.info/81/wa_beta_showdown) and a larger community.

[Lugtepik]

Does it also feature the Full Wormage scheme and the slotmachine features?

[bonz]

There is nothing to be unlocked in WWP.
Everything (maps, schemes, weapons) is already available right from the start.

That is, even less, because you can't set 'indestructible terrain' from within the game, without the help of 3rd party scheme editor.
Does it also feature the Full Wormage scheme
Yes, you can now customize everything, including superweapons, hence make the scheme yourself (or download it somewhere).
and the slotmachine features?
A few of them. Several more with 3rd party mods.

It's planned that all of them and more are available in the future.
Not necessarily with a slot machine though.

Cool. I am trying to update to the latest patch at the moment, but I'm having some trouble when I try to run the setup it says that it can't find a C:\Windows\System32\Config.nt I've read a bit about the problem and how it can be solved, but it was a long long process...
Is there any fast way to solve this?

[Lex]

If you're talking about WA, the WA beta update installer doesn't look for that. You're probably unnecessarily installing the old 1.0->3.0 patch which used to be necessary for the original European CD release. Nowadays, to update to the latest version, click here (http://wa.team17.com/main.html?page=supp&area=upda&file=15) to download the update installer wizard, then run the wizard.

Thx.

Back to the actual topic, when I have copied the maps from my WWP cd in which folder should I place them to be able to play them in Worms Armageddon?

[Lex]

WA\User\SavedLevels. Then you open them from the map editor. To do so, right-click the map preview in the pre-game screen then in the map editor, click the arrow on the map selector dropdown box. You should see your files.

..\Worms Armageddon\User\SavedLevels

You can also create nested sub-folders in there for sorting purposes.
In-game, by right-clicking on any map preview window, you get to a pull-down menu where you can browse your folder structure.

Thx.

About the beta update for WA...
I have downloaded the latest update, but in game when joining servers I can't use the command /tellv and I can't find the advanced scheme editor :s

[Lex]

/tellv is a RubberWorm (http://worms2d.info/RubberWorm) command. RubberWorm is a WormKit (http://worms.thecybershadow.net) module.

[Lugtepik]

Ahh okay...
But what about the advanced scheme editor?
In the video the demonstrator click options and edit scheme, but if I do that I only seem to have the basic choices available, how come?

[Lex]

First, hover over the "Worms Armageddon" logo on the first menu screen and see if it says "Worms Armageddon 3.6.31.0; CyberShadow beta - 16 Nov 2010". If it does, you have the latest version of WA as of now and many advanced scheme options are available in-game. If it doesn't, you have an old version of WA and should update to the latest.

Try hovering over a scheme option and reading the tooltip text that appears. It should tell you that you can fine-tune scheme options by holding Shift while you click.

Since when can you edit superweapons and use the slot machine with WA?

[Lex]

He meant that you can edit the ammunition of super weapons, which was added in one of the beta updates. The Fiddler allowed extremely powerful editing of the actual mechanics of weapons in WA 3.0 10 years ago, though.

Most of the WWP WormPot mechanics can be used in WA via RubberWorm, a WormKit module.

The Worms Knowledge Base (http://worms2d.info) has more info.
