Any luck finding good examples? I took a look at WMDB, but they all just looked like low islands with a place to stand at either edge. I guess I can start with that? I wont be doing anything the next few days (apart from an hour or so now) but will get going on it properly next week.

Hey Komito!
I would certainly be up for giving it a try, I always used to play on random maps so I don't know much about good competitive maps, if you could provide a number of examples (of a similar type) I will see what I can do! It may be worth drawing notes over one showing features that are matched with the other side / different feature types etc. And a list of things you would want control over and mark examples on the map. Do you go on #worms, I tend to log in when working on it so I can get feedback.

As for the WCC leagues, I think I ran 2, a plain one that ran on the wcl code from HCC, and Clan Wars which had the island maps. Strictly speaking its still online, just horribly broken. Funny for notalgia purposes though.

The wormkit module may need some work to get working, but does the exe itself not work? Any error messages?

I have updated the main package with an EXE built with v110_xp, and added an EXE only package here:

Let me know if it still doesnt work!

Hmmm, that's not good,  did the last version work for you? What version of windows are you using?

v0.6.2 is now uploaded, completely reworks the Island and Cavern generators, as well as the interpolation method, grass generation and object placement code.

This update requied changing the themes so make sure you copy them from the archive, not just the EXE.

Let me know if anything doesn't work, or if you have any more ideas for features / schemes etc.

Hmmm, quad islands anyone?

Managed to fail to update the download links. Fixed them up now (and added some alternatives to the page).
