S2K's WA-to-WormsDC Conversion Project [LATEST UPDATE: 2021-02-17]

(1/3) > >>

Squirminator2k:
Do you love the wacky, cartoony terrains, maps and speechbanks of WA but wish you could experience them in a 1st-gen Worms game? Well, wish no more! Presenting S2K'S WA-to-WormsDC Conversion Project, which aims to take every single one of those lovely assets and downscale them for use in Worms: The Director's Cut on the Amiga.

As well as working to convert all of the 2nd-gen assets, I was also able to convert the two terrain styles that never made the jump from the PC version of the original Worms/Worms Utd. - CANDY and MONEY. These are also available to download.

CURRENT STATUS

* Speechbanks: 100% complete
* Terrains and Mountains: 100% complete
* WA Maps: 100% complete
* WA Screensaver Maps: 100% complete
* Worms World Party Maps - Single + Multiplayer Missions: 100% complete
* Worms World Party Maps - Training + Time Trials: 100% complete
* Worms United Maps: 0% complete - not yet begun
REQUIREMENTS

* An AGA Amiga - A1200, A4000, or an expanded CD32.

* Note that an accelerator board is likely required - these have not been tested on an unexpanded Amiga.
* WormsDC must be installed on the Amiga's hard drive - these files cannot be added to the floppy disk version.
* (Yes, these files work fine in an emulator - I recommend using the latest version of WinUAE in an AGA A1200 configuration with extra Fast RAM. The files will also work in FS-UAE and Amiga Forever.)
DOWNLOAD LINK

All completed assets are available in both .zip and .LhA format, and can be downloaded [here]


INSTRUCTIONS

* For the terrains and maps, simply unpack the archive into your WORMSDC drawer on your Amiga's hard drive.
* For the speechbanks, unpack the archive into your WORMSDC/TWSAMPLES drawer on your Amiga's hard drive.

ANY QUESTIONS?

Feel free to post any questions you may have in the thread below, I will do my best to answer them!

Fun aside: For completeness' sake, I wanted to do a speechbank using the effects from WWP Remastered, but CONVERT chokes on those files and spits out insanely huge IFFs. I have no idea what Team17 did, but those are some janky WAV files.

I think they just repurposed the same sound effects they used in Worms Reloaded so I might be able to snag 'em from there, but blimey.

after you complete this, do you plan on converting the other way? WormsDC-to-WA?

either WWPR or WRev, either way, they are indeed duplicates from some newer games

I've actually already done some of that, kind-of! I took the WormsDC version of the English speechbank and converted the files to .WAV, and that's been up to download on Dream17 for a while. I believe someone may have uploaded that here too (which some edits, it would seem - not too keen on that).

I also recreated the WormsDC gravestone, so I used that! Can't remember if I ever shared that one.

Converting the color maps the other way 'round is a neat idea. Some of the maps are just downscaled versions of maps from Worms United though, so it might be better to convert from there, TBH.

I'll have to do some digging. I checked Reloaded, but all of those sounds are compacted in a file format I'm too lazy to try and crack open. Honestly, I'm not particularly feeling a need to do the WWPR sounds, it was mostly a completeness' thing.

Squirminator2k:
The WA screensaver maps are now 100% converted, and have been uploaded for download!
