ProjectX for Steam W:A now possible!!!! - AUTOMATIC INSTALLER by reituz!

[j0e]

This is an automatic ProjectX (PX) installer which downgrades your WA version from the newest patch (3.7.2.1) to the older one (3.6.31.0) required for PX.

The installer works for both the Steam and the CD version of the game.

PX is pre-patched, and includes some libs, useful Wormkit modules (like Rubberworm and KawooshKick), and an uninstaller which will revert your WA back to the version you had before.

Note: PX is a 3rd party add-on for WA which drastically expands the game's capabilities. It adds many new custom weapons/utilities, game options, and basically unlimited possibilities. It's the best thing since sliced bread.

Until now Steam users have been completely unable to use PX.

Only 2 Steps:
1. Download installer and run as administrator. You must change the install location to your WA directory. http://yadi.sk/d/BHT39bgQL9b4x

To change the install location to your WA directory, run the installer, click Next, then click "Browse" on the screen that says "Choose Install Location" and find the folder below..
-For Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Worms Armageddon
-Or.. for Regular WA, most likely C:\Microprose\Worms Armageddon or C:\Team17\Worms Armageddon

2. If necessary, run LoadWormKitModules_Enabled.reg, found in the Tweaks folder, which is inside the WA directory.



All credit goes to Reituz, the guy who made this awesome Installer.

Unfortunately, this installer includes a modified (cracked) executable of the game, which is the only reason why this works on the Steam version. It will, otherwise, not work on the CD version of the game (crash upon start of a match), unless there have been files copied from the CD and/or used in conjunction with wkFileOverride before.
There's a simpler and legal way to run the CD edition through Steam: simply make an image out of your Steam files and use it with the CD updates. You don't need to modify the original executable.
Hope this helps.

The link for installer is dead... 

That means it's still impossible to play Project X today...

It's not impossible to set up, just a bit harder without the auto installer. StepS or someone might still have a copy of it.

I had typed up some instructions for the manual installation method (creating ISO from Steam version) but I don't think it will work. There is no installer in your Steam folder, so you're left with a copy of 3.7.2.2, not version 1.0 or 3.0 like you need to install the patches and then PX.

If you look around less scrupulous places on the internet you might find a pre-installed PX WA verison ready to play..  it's technically illegal, but as long as you've paid for the game on Steam already it's not really unethical imo.
