I thought Minigun crates were supposed to wait until those 5 turns were over.I thought that too.
It's not a bug I think, it's just the way it was programmed
(for example, infinite donkeys with a 255 delay result in a ban of donkey crates, even if you get them).
So I will remove this limitation in the next version of W:A.
Wow cool, is there anything else we can expect from the new version?We're leaving most of it as a surprise :) But yeah, there's lots of other things. Just talking about game logic fixes alone, there are 19 of them.
PS: I haven't played this game since 2005 so I might be a bit rusty and it'd be great if you could me update on the progress and such things
...WHEN?Trying to get it ready soon. But can't be more specific than that.

no
this is nothing more then a hobby for them, regardless if the career they are in matches this hobby or not. (im not sure if it does or not)
whats your hobby? playing the guitar? can you put out a detailed development plan/progress report on when your going to learn to play each and every song on a Jimmy Hendrix CD, and then stick to that plan faithfully? of course not, its just a hobby.
appreciate they put their time into it, dont be bossy ;p
Sorry about the long delay. I haven't worked on W:A for two months, but let me please make it clear, the update is NOT canceled! The next round of work I put into it will probably continue until I've done all that's needed to get it ready for release. Not sure when exactly that'll be but it shouldn't be much longer.

Then the powers that be, unpaid volunteers or not, should stop being like 343 Industries, and put out a detailed development plan/progress report.Don't know where you got this sense of entitlement, but its entirely unwarranted.
I make no distinction between employee and hobbyist. If someone says they're going to do something for somebody else, they should do it, and if there's a delay, the delay should be explained. If not, they should be called out on it.Why does everyone need to be held accountable, again, in your world of entitlement?
Truly, DC/CS have done a fantastic job maintaining this game, but it's been SO long since the last update, with little to no explanation, and the crap that's been going on these days with games from big companies (see below) has made me want to see small developers/maintainers set a good example even more.You are making the mistake of comparing a developer/maintainer with a 2 man skeleton crew on a almost 17 year old game.

Is the absolute bare minimum, that being a monthly statement of "progress made" or "no progress made" REALLY too much to ask for???
He just said progress is continually being made, so if you haven't heard anything, imagine it being posted again, only just last week.

If you don't like me comparing WA's volunteers to paid developers, then how about other volunteers?Consider him the exception then, rather than the rule. Just because he does things in his way does not make him the standard bearer for any project of similar scope.
MarathonMan, who develops the CEN64 emulator (http://cen64.com/) in his spare time, is never unseen for more than a few weeks, and always explains his progress or lack thereof.

Hi all
Let's say I set Minigun delay to 5 turn, and the Minigun crates to 5
If a crate fall before five turns containing the Minigun, I will be able to use it anyway
Am I doing something wrong or what?
While it's true that you wouldn't be able to use an infinitely delayed weapon even if you collected it in a crate, the game disallows delayed weapons from falling in crates. The only way to collect one would be to collect a Crate Shower crate first.
Would be nice to know about the progress of 4.0www.wormsng.com
I am not asking too much. In fact, I am asking for next to nothing. Yet, as I have been previously in this thread, I fully expect to be harangued again for not treating DC & CS like gods who can do no wrong, just because they're volunteers. It is not written anywhere that volunteers can not be called out for a lack of communication or not be compared to other volunteers in similar situations that communicate much better (see my prior post about MarathonMan, who continues to consistently update about his slow progress).
The freezing rope bug is especially annoying in Big Rope Race.

Bit harsh from korydex, but made a point. You're never online, Extremist. Don't say it's cause of the bugs involving W:A. Because it's not. Would be nice to know about the progress of 4.0, for sure.. But they don't owe it to anyone here, especially not to inactive players.
That's really great to hear!!!! I'm sure the update will deliver a big infusion of old players back to the community. Can we anticipate any new features, or is it mainly bugfixes? As far as I can remember there hasn't been much information about the contents of the 3.8 update.I am not asking too much. In fact, I am asking for next to nothing.

Hi,
The state of the update is essentially "when it's ready" taken too far. Almost everyone involved with the updates one way or another agrees that it should have been released a long time ago. It has been very demotivating for me as well to have my work from many years ago to still not have seen the light of day.
This is why we agreed that Worms Armageddon v3.8 will be released not later than December 31, 2017 (plus however long Team17's release process takes), ready or not. Unfinished features will be cut, buggy or insufficiently tested changes reverted. There are already many good changes queued to make a great update. I will do my best to ensure this happens personally.
Any chance this bug will be fixed? https://www.tus-wa.com/files/file-699/
The freezing rope bug is especially annoying in Big Rope Race.
The bug froze the rope at 90° so yes the rope was released at 90°, but the fail is not deserved. In this case you can not visually see the rope freezing. The angle of the subsequent rope shot is calculated at the frame of the rope releasing and here the rope freeze bug occurs at the same frame the rope releases.

No, thank you. I know a lot of people who will be happy to see this bug gone. You and CS are the best, man.
And sorry about the wrongful assumptions and generally just being too overconfident in this thread.
4.0 isnt done vince, dunno where you got that idea
Read DC's post on page 3
if instead of 4.0 you were referencing 3.8 in your post near the bottom of page 8
if "almost everyone" agrees that it should have been released long ago (and therefore, presumably finished) then why hasn't it been released yet?

Could you please link to posts by URL instead of referencing them in this way? The forum software lets you set 5, 10, 15, 25, or 50 posts per page, and this is a per-user setting. With >=10 posts/page there isn't even a page 8. With 5 posts/page there's no post by me near the bottom of page 8. So I don't know what posts you were referring to...if "almost everyone" agrees that it should have been released long ago (and therefore, presumably finished) then why hasn't it been released yet?
I'm sorry, I can't be specific. Basically, I feel it would hurt the long-term future of the game to release it at this point, with certain features unfinished. But whether or not I manage to finish these things, you will be getting a release by the end of the year.
After releasing 3.8, I want to go back to a much more frequent release schedule, like it used to be before 3.6.28.0.
Speaking of that, Team17 has had the absolute worst customer relations / community management / communication lately. This is unrelated, but they gave WMD players a 'roadmap' of planned (and sorely-needed) additions to the game back in January and as of today like 80% of the planned updates have yet to see the light of day, and on top of that, Team17 is basically refusing to speak about it whatsoever. Anyway... that's another topic entirely. I just wanted to complain.

That right there is a great reason not to overpromise and underdeliver, wouldn't you agree? It just leaves your reputation as a game dev/maintainer in a worse place each time a deadline passes, and harms the game itself as well, leaving its community less excited and interested than it was to begin with. Even so, I think Deadcode and CyberShadow are reasonably willing to discuss the general plans for WA's future with anyone who contacts them about it. They just don't want to talk about specific features, I imagine primarily because it would ruin the surprise on patch day, but also because while things are still being worked on and tested, they just can't know that they won't hit a roadblock that'll mean a specific feature might get delayed for an update or two.
