On the Steam version of WA, is it possible to edit the worms sprites?
Where can I find the different worms sprites?

Haven't tried editing them myself so I don't know if Steam does hash checks or anything. Make a backup first! The sprites are located in X:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Worms Armageddon\DATA\Gfx
Gfx.dir, gfx0.dir, gfx1.dir
They can be edited with Fudgeboy's sprite editor:

And there's a 10 years newer sprite program, SpriteEddy, which I'm not sure can actually edit the sprites here:

See this thread for detailed instructions on editing sprites:

You can also change your gravestone to any game sprite (donkey, swimming worm, etc) with TeamEd:

If you're interested in mucking around with the game sprites, you might be interested in coding new weapons using ProjectX. You'll need an ISO of the CD version to use ProjectX, but you can have both versions installed simultaneously with no issues. It would probably be legal for you to download a copy for free since you've already bought the game on Steam, but I'm not a lawyer :P. ProjectX is a crazy powerful tool and some awesome things have been made with it including swimming worms, many new weaps like the Hang Glider, and Realtime gameplay (still buggy and unreleased): see the videos below.

To create your own schemes, libraries (weapons) and PX maps, go into the "Editors" directory, and run PXSchemeEd.exe, PXLEdit.exe or MEd.exe respectively. Save the scheme files in your "Worms Armageddon\PXSchemes" directory, the libraries into "Worms Armageddon\Libs", and the maps to the SavedLevels folder as usually.

Hi, thanks for the location, but I need a little more help, as well as wanting to edit them, I also want .png's of them, do you know any good programs for opening .dir files that can convert them?

SpriteEddy can extract to png but they won't be animated. Someone probably already has a big zip file of all the sprites in animated gif..
