@Rocket I'm available at +- 18-21 GMT almost everyday. If i'm online, you will see me in snooper.

I wrote him on snooper many times, but always got ignored. When I caught him right in the game, he has refused to play a cup game.

Quote from: Kradie on December 22, 2024, 06:01 PMThis is why we have TUS, and discord, valuable tools of communication. Simply to Idle and hope that somebody reaches out may not always yield results.

Discord have been blocked in Russia. So it's unavailable atm. Of course, I know a tricky ways to log in, but it's not very convenient, I don't wanna use these on a regular basis. I'm online almost everyday at the same time in snooper though. I'm not sure that he's even gonna read this topic, so making a schedule here seems pointless.

Quote from: Kradie on December 22, 2024, 06:01 PMThis doesn't look like the person I talked to last time. But then again, he hasn't answered my recent PMs on discord and snooper.

I don't know how it looks like for you. For me it looks like disrespect for other participants. I've been online for 4 hours again and still got no answer. I'm here and ready to play, a few hours before the deadline. But it seems like a waste of time.

Quote from: TheKomodo on December 22, 2024, 12:35 PMWhy don't you guys get your head out the sand and start organizing your games , I see you all on WormNET often enough.

I've tried many times. I'm online almost every day at the same time. I met Dioz yesterday and was offering him to play our cup games. He has refused to play and literally answered that he doesn't care if he doesn't manage to play before the deadline.

I haven't seen RIP for a long time, last time about month ago maybe. Also I have no idea who is Foghunter, never seen him on Wormnet. Maybe it's another alias.

If no one cares, why should I care? I'm not anyone's nanny.

If you don't want to play – don't join to a cup. That's simple. The Golden Rule.

Quote from: Kaleu on December 03, 2024, 02:46 AMWhatever you say Russian. I don't even know who you are as a player, which is the mininum for me to consider and care. Didnt you start to play like 3 months ago?

I've just downloaded the game yesterday, Brazilian.

Quote from: Kaleu on December 03, 2024, 12:54 AMI will admit it's a cheat when the majority of Ukrainians admit Russia is right.

Many Ukrainians have already admitted that. And many others - long before the conflict.
So you may start your confession, cheater.
WTF is going on in the heads of people, who calls behavior programmed by developers a "hardware limitation", thereby justifying cheating?

Updated 23.11.2024:

▣ Manual Placement has been activated.
▣ Sudden Death settings has been fixed.
(forgot about it before, lol)
Please download the scheme again, if you've done it earlier.

Quote from: Big Billy on November 05, 2024, 07:11 PMI uploaded a WXW scheme based on the flash scheme, but with tele spawn. https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-5799

Don't forget to set the mine fuse timer 3 sec and no dud mines.

 

Quote from: flashR on October 29, 2024, 07:16 PMThey are constantly being tested for more than a year. The balance is quite good, although these schemes contains some of controversial / 'weird' weapons for WxW (cows, machine gun, axe). If any of the schemes are approved in general, it's possible to make some small changes to adapt to more competitive playstyle (mine fuse adjustment, mines a barrels number adjustment etc)... Any reasonable suggestions are welcome.

What's special about these schemes (briefly):

1. As I mentioned before, they contains some kind of 'weird' and unusual weapons for WxW: Cows, HHG, Machine Gun, Axe, Mole. Someone can say it's imbalanced. I can answer: balance can be created not only by banning all types of weapons, which damage is greater than a Sheep has, but also by allowing these types of weapons in a fair proportion. In this system one weapon balances the other. And I find this concept more interesting than the other, where half of the weapons are totally banned.

2. It is worth to mention, that the Mole Bomd and the Petrol Bomb are really good here, unlike the standard league WxW scheme, where Petrol inflicts less damage than Bazooka in the 95% of cases, and there's no Mole at all. Btw, the HostingBuddys scheme has a Mole, but it's completely useless shit there. So I fixed this inequity:
- Petrol Bomb now deals more damage on average than Bazooka (even on flat surface).
- Mole Bomb deals ~54 damage on precise hit, creating a blast wave slightly larger than a dynamite. This weapon is very convenient for knocking worms out from upper hideouts, knocking them down from the ceiling, or simply throwing them over large distances across the map (with LG used). Unique mechanic for usual WxW for sure.

3. There are LG and Freeze, as well-proven and usable things in HostingBuddys schemes.

I hope, someone will love these schemes, like me and my friends does. I'm open to any reasonable recommendations and feedback. Thanks.

Quote from: Big Billy on October 31, 2024, 08:32 PMI like your WxW Shopper scheme you put first. How about a little poll for this?

Sure, good idea. If people choose my scheme, I'd like to change the only mine fuse timer from random to 3 sec as usual. Random is fun ofc, but I think that mines must be more predictable in serious competitive games.

Quote from: Big Billy on October 29, 2024, 12:46 AMTime for a 2vs2 wxw cup
Open for suggestions for an other scheme.

Hey, nice cup! I'll join a bit later, if I find a partner.
I can offer some of my variations of WxW. At least it could be something new and unusual for many people, like a sip of fresh air.

WxW Shopper
WxW Shopper (1 Crate)
Acrobatic WxW Shopper

4. There are different variations of the schemes:
- Usual version, similar as possible to the classic WxW, but with mentioned changes, of course.
- One Crate version, where the only one crate can be on the surface at a time. This version has its own advantages.
- Acrobatic version, where you can attack from air while flying (AFA), or in-between rope swings. This is the part of TestStuff.

I hope, someone will love these schemes, like me and my friends does. I'm open to any reasonable recommendations and feedback. Thanks.

S = snipezor

QuoteI don't play any other games where I'm tapping on the keyboard much

Ideally we'd like to know if this problem only occurs in WA or in an other games as well. You were writing about delays while typing in the game chat. It's quite weird. Can you test a chat in another game?

I can also recommend:

1. Disable Sticky Keys and Filter Keys.
Control Panel -> Ease of Access -> Make the keyboard easier to use ->

Set Up Sticky Keys -> Disable "Turn on Sticky Keys" and "Turn on Sticky Keys when SHIFT Is Pressed Five Times".
Set Up Filter Keys -> Disable "Turn on Filter Keys" and "Turn on Filter Keys when Right SHIFT Is Pressed for 8 Seconds"

2. Unplug your keyboard and plug in to another USB port. As far as I know, any USB keyboard should be connected to one of the two top USB 2.0 ports. It shouldn't be USB 3.0+ ports, usually they works bad (with errors).

3.

QuoteNo Vsync options at all? On mine, the first box is ticked by default.

If you want minimal input lag in the game, you need to disable all synchs. And switch to D3D Shader. But on some systems OpenGL Shader might work better, if I remember Deadcode recommendations correctly.

skunk3, do you use default Microsoft driver or manufacturers for your keyboard? Do you use remapped or default keys in WA? If remapped, which software do you use for remap: wkremap, ahk or firm software maybe? Do you have the same issues in another game or anywhere else besides WA?

I can't say exactly what the problem is. But as a preventative measure, I'd recommend to check the following settings.

1. Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate.
Сontrol Panel -> Keyboard settings -> set up Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate to Short/Fast (drag the slider maximum to the right).

2. Keyboard and mouse buffer size. You may have changed it already at some point, following some advices on Youtube or wherever, maybe you broke something. Lower buffer = better response, but don't set it to extreme low values, some keyboards may not work properly when buffer values are too low. If you've never changed these settings, then you can try, maybe it could help as well. You can set it up manually, following Win + R -> regedit -> ... or copy-paste this code into .txt file and save as .reg and then double click to this file to run these settings. I recommend to test these settings in the range of 20-100 dec (default is 100 dec / 64 hex). I use 40 dec / 28 hex for my cheap non-mechanical keyboard:

"KeyboardDataQueueSize"=dword:00000064


3. Process priority. Make sure you have the WA.exe process set to high priority while playing. If you run WA via Great Snooper, it should be default option.

Spoiler! View

If you don't use Great Snooper, you can change this setting manually everytime you run WA: Task manager -> Find the WA process -> Right click -> Details -> Right Click -> Set Priority -> choose High. This should help to increase the responsiveness of the game and reduce input lag.

Reset your PC and try playing for a while after applying these settings. Don't forget that the WA process priority must always been set manually everytime you run it (if you don't use GS ofc).

Hmmm, after this update I discovered that I could not download some replays. For example, I've tried to download a couple replays from this cup and always got this error: "The game you are looking for does not exist." Seems like it happened to everyone (not only me), cos I don't see the counter of downloads, means these replays have never been downloaded.
