No , but you can use a program called RandomMaps which allows you to download random map from WMDB from the map selecting screen (just before playing).

You will need Wormkit (http://worms2d.info/WormKit).

By the way you can just minimize , go to the website , download it , maximize game and load it.

wkRandomMap.

So get the healed one:

All you need is to extract everything into your W:A folder. No additional programs (WormKit, etc) are needed, just run WA.exe as usual. This system will also allow you to play other wormkit modules just by throwing them into your folder and running WA.exe.
To choose a random map, go into Map Editor, click "_RANDOM_MAPS_" and choose the scheme you would like to be for a map. Good luck! ;)
PS: source code included of course.

Niiiiice - how do you make sure people won't download it from there then? Does the site tell not to use its own link? How come the *official* site is infected and doesn't fix it?

I mean... seriously.

Well, this is an old virus which is a bad nightmare for Delphi programmers - it injects itself in every build of the project. No joke, this even was in Winamp, AIMP, QIP and some other popular software some time ago, just it was removed after some hours after being posting. However it took 9 months to become detectable by popular antiviruses. You can read more about Induc in google.
It wouldn't be hard to fix it, however the author seems to abandon this site a long time ago and I can't find anything about his contacts.
