Don't try to modify your steam WA. It's much easier and better to maintain 2 separate WA installs, so you can play PX when you want, but enjoy the comforts of modern WA the rest of the time.

Rough guide:

-Get original WA ISO (version 1 or version 3.0, doesn't matter) as abandonware for free (somewhat legally) from archive.org. https://archive.org/download/WormsArmageddonUSA
-Mount WA ISO in Windows ISO tool or something like Daemon Tools Lite if you prefer.
-Install that to a new folder so your Steam WA is unaffected eg. "c:\Team17\Worms Armageddon PX".
-Download and install WAPatch.exe https://worms2d.info/files/WAPatch-3.0.0.0.exe,
-Then install the 3.6.31.0 update. https://worms2d.info/files/WA_update-3.6.31.0_Beta_Installer.exe
-Download Wormkit (old version which includes standalone WormKit.exe - http://worms.thecybershadow.net/wormkit/wormkit.zip).  Extract to WA folder.
-Download original wkWndMode.dll http://myfiles.my1.ru/wa/wk/windowmode.rar Extract to WA folder.
-Get ProjectX installer. Install and update. https://px.worms2d.info/px080.rar
-For Windows 10 improved compatibility. http://files.steps.club/various/ddraw_fix_w8_up.zip Extract to WA folder.

Run PX using Wormkit.exe.
