cool...
but had anyone requested for this? are people going to start paying wwp?
Don't forget to remove all the other "color fixes" you installed before! They are not needed as the game is in 32-bit colour depth now.
Regardless of the new games, WWP will always stand above all as the most addictive and fun. It has to be kept alive for as long as life still exists (?)
Thanks again for the fix! :)

There's an exception to that though, the gewd ol' Worms Armageddon. :D
Hello!!!can you describe the problem in detail? can you make a video or do screenshots to show what you mean?
I'm hoping someone can help. I've downloaded the patch for Win7 and the game finally launches!!!
My problem is that I can only see maybe 3/4ths of the screen. I have fiddled with my screen resolution and followed the troubleshooting steps above, and no dice. . .
Really hoping to get some help as me and my friends lan WWP every week and I need to be ready to kick some ass. :)
now to DPI scaling. It probably scales some apps that it shouldn't, like WWP in this case.
Disclaimer: I don't know the English labels for the sections explained below, so you'll have to check it out.
So try either:
- go into WWP.exe properties, "Compatibility" tab, then check "Disable dpi scaling on high screen resolutions" . . .
As a side note, the weird thing about me enabling border before was that it actually helped me see the game. All previous wrapper settings failed, but as soon as I enabled border, I could at least see some of the screen. Weird huh?yep that's weird.

My problem is minor so if there's no fix, no big deal. I'm on windows 7 and have the taskbar at the top of the screen. Both the menu and game screens appear at the very top of the window, under the taskbar. For the menu, I don't care so much, and from what you mentioned earlier it isn't possible to move anyway. What about the game window? Would it be possible for me to move that down about 40 pixels?when the match starts, the ingame window is centered automatically. as for the menu,
Hello,
Thanks much for the fix! I can't get the game to launch at all, though. Any hints? Here are the facts:
-Using Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit
-Did a clean install to Program files (not Program files (x86)). Just experimenting with anything now, because the install in the (x86) wouldn't launch.
-Installed the 1.01 patch.
-Unzipped the fix file into the WWP folder.
Did not change any other settings (Windows compatibility, colors settings).
Any ideas appreciated. Thanks!
Installing in a non-Program Files folder worked. The game launched, but... "Insert game CD" message appeared. :-[ I thought the WWP install file I downloaded was no-CD-needed abandonware, but I guess not. Now I have to find my old WWP CD.Hello,

Never install your games into any of the Program Files, except Steam games. This directory and all of its subdirectories are write-protected and cannot write data to their own folders. Therefore the game may fail to create some files it needs, not to mention that your teams and singleplayer progress would always be reset on every start.
Reinstall the game into a good folder, for example My Documents or "Games", that is free.
Then, if the game still doesn't start please tell exactly what happens when you launch it. In particular, a screenshot or possibly a video of the problem would be appreciated.
I need help! That fix patch didnt have any effect at all. My game is still very slow and when you try to go play round in any game mode the white screen comes and i cant see anything but i can still "play"! and when i try to use the windowed mode game crashes Im using windows 8.1I'm sorry but this is not primarily to resolve slowness, but to resolve crashing. Even though both goals are often achieved. Have you tried "AlternativeWhiteFieldsFix" for the white screen? Do you use any modifications to the windows explorer?

I havent tried and i dont have modifications on windows explorer. Where i can find that "AlternativeWhiteFieldsFix"?it's located in wndmode.ini. Have you read the FAQ?
no1 really plays wwp, man, wwp's wormnet is dead, dont worry :)haha it was dead years ago i remember last time I went on 2 years ago there was 0 people online.
You should watch the replay, WWP is back and is here!!!This was done a long time ago by Jakka and others... Check the videos in my reply here (https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/maps/wa-custom-missions-and-wwp-revived-23753/msg193156/)
Where do you get it¿???The first post of this thread.
Hello,
I've found this fix for WWP and I'm glad to say it's a marvelous tool for playing this game on higher resolutions. I truly thank everyone for this.
However I found a bug in the most recent version. Now I can't open custom BMP files in the map generator. Once I click the custom map loader and try to select a BMP file on the available map list, it closes without processing the file. I haven't tested GIF nor JPG yet, so I'll take a look if they do work.
Thank you very much.
It is there, along with the other two files and it still happens. Perhaps it is an incompatibility on my side. I use a netbook, an HP Mini 110, and maybe the strange resolution (max. 1024x576 possible) causes the patch to force windowed mode on the front-end side. And if I don't use the patch at all, the BMP loader works fine.Hello,

Hi. This seems to be unrelated to the fix. I've just tested what you've described and it works fine for me.
Can you make sure that you have the file lfbmp10N.dll in your directory of the game? When I remove that file, I get what you described (import dialog closing immediately), but otherwise it works just fine. That DLL is used for processing bmp images.
Also check lflmb10N.dll, lftga10N.dll and similar, they're used for various other formats too.

And if I don't use the patch at all, the BMP loader works fine.Maybe the dll fails to load for some reason. I might make a debug module soon for you to see what might be wrong.
Great fix! question, when i run the game it runs it windowed mode, how do i put it to fullscreen?Open wndmode.ini, and in the [WWPSettings] section, set either WindowedFrontend (for the menus) and/or WindowedInGame (for the gameplay) to 0, that will disable windowed mode. However it's already set to 0 by default there... Unless you changed it, or if 640x480 is not supported for the menus on your system (in which case it throws a warning). If you're using the HD patch, and the resolution in-game is the same as desktop, then it'll appear simply as a borderless window filling entire screen. No exclusive mode (because that was the reason of all the crash issues on vista,7,etc.)
thanks again
why do u guys not just play w:a? I don't get it.. someone please enlighten me. wwp is like w:a without updates and 100 times worse, lol. gogo, give me reasons to play wwp instead of w:aCustom missions, WormPot, points for weapons. Any of these reasons is not enough?
Is there a way to use it in 1.01 my language (https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1CStNeO2CyT88Kal5LuYwRxSYzzQG5Mxc&export=download)?That is interesting, I haven't seen such a version. I suppose you mean ReSolution (because the compat patch itself should work fine on any version).

Your EXE indicates a timestamp of 04/02/2002 05:13:50, which is roughly a year later than 05/14/2001 15:32:59 (https://github.com/StepS-/wkReSolution/blob/master/wkReSolution/w2res.cpp#L48) of the European version.
This will need looking up all the differences between EU and this for ReSolution to work.
