Beautiful map.

Hi, I have the pleasure to publish here the new gif icon sbs made for our scheme Drive for Weapons. It was a hard work on 20 frames to make this gif, thanks to the art of sbs (and a few suggestions and ideas by myself). Many days of work, but now we have at least the first version of the gif complete (more frames might be added  in the future).

I hope you like it, because we will release the official version of the scheme's first map in a near future (we have only the prototype I made, with some suggestions and changes due to sbs opinions). Thanks to all people that helped us testing our prototype (structure) map. With patience, sbs already made more than 50% of the map graphical upgrades. It is taking months but we are not in a hurry. Soon this scheme will be 100% released and we can start working on the second map that has already an amazing combo for it (we had to cut this combo from the first map, because it would take too long to end the game).

I just made a small edition to this scheme: Rope Knocking set from 100 to 254: if you knock worms now you will not knock, you will KICK worms with the rope. I think it is a funny version to try.

I called this variation "Hyper Strong Rope Knocking"

Hi it is 2021 and we are playing with version 3.8.1 which means RubberWorm and TestStuff are officially inside the new scheme format. This game has a lot of schemes that are not available in TUS leagues. Now all existing RubberWorm and TS schemes can be easily played and there are no RubberWorm schemes in TUS leagues. The community changed a lot, so why not add new schemes to TUS leagues?

The Times... They are A-Changin'...

Just take a look into Schemes page and Scheme ideas page or maybe TUS schemes list. Some people think they are the best because they play 1 scheme of all existing in WA, even the "allrounders" of TUS probably don't play so many schemes of WA.

I know, the more schemes, the more complicated it will be to administrate the league, but I think it would be interesting to try the idea. Maybe this could be a "Funner League" or something like that... Maybe a not so serious league...

I don't know the others but I would participate in a league with the underground schemes...

I would like to see a league with Neocombat, Quickdraw, Plop Gum, Black Hole BnG, Driver, Goku Battle Arena, Rope Knocking, Skinflint Roping, Teleporting, Hand to Hand, Space Race, Pool, Beef Race, Hoops, Supermarket Shopper (this one is being played quite frequently in WormNET), Rowy, Power Prodder, Hide and Seek, Snooker, Boom for Weapons, Flat Earth Apocalypse, Drown Syndrome, Worms Chess, Ghost Knocking (this one is not actually so underground), Trench Warfare, Worms Basketball (this one is well known too), Dabble and Fidget, Special War (or one of its variants), Sally Shopper, Kill The King and so many others...

There are also those schemes that would be complicated to be in competitive scenario like Board Game.

Not to say Kaleu schemes like Selecsteria and Freemediate, but these are proposals for already existing leagues... Dario's 80normal is a similar case (this scheme is being played frequently).

Also, the league could receive some of the ZaR schemes too, specially if Kradie stops posting fake news and conspiracy theories.

It seems TUS schemes are seriously bugged. For example, if someone download my scheme Colossal Shopper here in TUS, it will be completely different from the original that is working fine if you download from Worms Knowledge Base. Maybe the issue has to do with max values from some of the Extended Scheme Options, because the TUS version of Colossal Shopper has 100% Rubber Bounciness while the original has 50%. It has 128x of Game Engine Speed, while the original has normal speed. It has 256 of gravity in TUS while the gravity has no alterations in the original. TUS version has also very high values for max rope, projectile and jetpack speeds while the original is way different. Probably there are more differences from the two versions of the scheme. Thanks to StepS that notified me that my scheme was completely bizarre and different from the description in TUS.

Usually I create schemes using SchemeEddy (to edit water rising, non standard weapon powers and fall damage values) + the game (to put the 3.8 features), what is a bit boring sometimes, because If I decide to change the water values, the fall damage or the weapon powers I need to do everything again. So when I discovered that TUS scheme editor is capable to edit all these values, I thought the TUS scheme editor was the best one and would help me to save time editing my scheme testings. However I already read two people complaining about having issues with TUS schemes (Swordfish with his Hyper Rope Knocking + Rope Knocking schemes and DENnis with his 1BungeeSurf scheme), so I still don't use it much because I don't trust so much in it right now.

Another thing I noticed is that the space to write when you are editing the TUS scheme cannot be enlarged properly, so you need to cope with the relatively small area to write (this one is minor bug, though).

I don't understand about TUS schemes Fall Damage values. In SchemeEddy the maximum Fall Damage is 508%, my scheme Jet Pack War (which has 508% FD) in TUS appears as "86" while usually standard Fall Damage (100%) appears in TUS as 67 and the scheme Hide and Seek appears in TUS with "134" FD value. Also, I just tested my scheme Jet Pack War from TUS right now and it seems the Fall Damage is wrong, it doesn't cause the same damage that the one available on WKB does. This means that probably this scheme is not working properly since 2011, and all people that downloaded my scheme from TUS didn't have the true experience of the scheme (because the Fall Damage is the core element from the scheme).

I noticed that the search feature doesn't find schemes by their Acronym. If I type JPW selecting the category "schemes" the search will not find the scheme. The same thing happens if I type HnS for Hide and Seek.

These scheme bugs are very urgent because even if people upload schemes and don't use TUS editor, their schemes will be completely different and people may think the scheme sucks, because they had the buggy experience of the scheme.

One more thing: recently I uploaded 2 map packs of very huge maps to TUS and the vast majority of them don't display the image correctly. I downloaded them and the files seem to work well, though.

Hi DENnis, interesting idea. Do you know that with 3.8 update, with the extended options you don't need to type TS to use TS features anymore? Also, I didn't try  your map yet, I will have to do it soon, lol, but if your scheme is about surfing with your own worm, you might want to try to add ZERO seconds grenades to your scheme, so that the nades will blow instantly on the worm using bungee. There is a Bungee version of Darts that uses this feature. Another thing I would like to say is that I plan to write an article about your scheme known as Rowy. Specially now that it is supported by HostingBuddy. I need a lot of information, it would be good to see information about this scheme in WKB.

I'm just linking a report from a player on discord:

The player tried many times to register and failed.

Space Cows has now an article in Worms Knowledge Base (Scheme ideas page): https://worms2d.info/Space_Cows
