Hi, i was thinking about customize WA, and got the idea related to create new terrain types, do you know if this is possible in the game engine, and how to do it??

Just guessing, but it would probably be possible to create different terrain types using Project X. You would have to be a pretty skilled programmer to make it happen, though.

u can do this with mapgen, u import ur own textures/soil/objects as image files

It's possible to use this: http://worms2d.info/WA_directory_editor
to edit/create new Level.dir files (which are on the CD)

Here's one I made earlier:

It takes some fiddling and I wouldn't recommend it.

As Husk said, use mapgen. It's more user friendly and compatible.

SiD that looks amazing... how can I use that? also if I were to use that tetris texture in wormnet, would the other players in the game need to download the same file from a link or something?

btw I was never good in tetris, but I like it alot =P my fastest clear of 40 lines is 1 minute 50 55 seconds... know any good online head-to-head tetris websites? tetrisfriends is fun xD

I guess you'd need to replace these textures on your PC, then generate a map offline using built-in map editor and save it as a png map.

Ha, awesome SiD!

Vn1 SiD, I hope this tetris texture would become reality in future WA update.

Great theme, SiD. Do you still happen to have the source files for the theme? They could be included with a MapGEN update, if you like (right now there aren't many user-created themes bundled with MapGEN by default).

f@#! rotor, seriously

vesuvio · June 12, 2016, 03:46 PM

Hey altarf! Been a while indeed.

I misunderstood OP - thought he meant different "types" of terrain like ice, glass, rubber etc. Which you'd need PX for. That tetris theme is super cool.
