I would like the option to be able to zoom during gameplay, for situations where I need to see pixel details etc.

This has been my wormy dream since Dario and Komito mentioned it. I would love to use it to improve myself in the game, with the sole contraindication that it could vastly fuel my addiction. Seriously, interacting with a replay? That's f@#!ing awesome. And it's not likely that that can be abused, Deadcode just need to implement some kind of watermark in-game saying: "Hey, this dude is taking control of a replay. If he pulls off something great, you've been warned!"

Hi, Memox! Did you ask Deadcode if he would give it to you? Regarding the replays generated by TA, afaik, they are encrypted. So I don't understand how anyone could forge and publish a replay made with TA.

"The tool-assisted versions of W:A save replays in an encrypted format, which is playable only with the tool-assisted version. Only Deadcode can decrypt them, thus making them playable with normal versions of W:A." https://worms2d.info/Replay_file#Security

EDIT: In fact, why would I (typical player) want to know if I MAY or not get to see a limited, not full version, even? Just what's the point lol

Well, I came up with the idea of giving everyone a limited version because I think it would be something more likely to happen in a near future, since they say giving everyone TA with no restrictions is dangerous because some people can use TA for illicit purposes. I don't understand this subject, so I don't have an opinion.
I know TA has a lot of cool features to use, but just the ability to take control of replays, at least for me, is awesome. So, if there was a limited version with this feature, would be better than nothing.

EDIT: a module that provides similar functions to the TA mentioned in this topic has been released. Anyone interested, go to: https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/worms-armageddon/wktoolassist-v-0-1-0-released-33517/msg280657/?topicseen#new.

For those who don't know, there is a Tool Assisted (TA) for Worms that allows the player to do various things and learn many details about the game. This tool is not public and is only shared with players who meet certain requirements.

I saw a discussion about TA being an advantage for people who have this tool because they can have faster progress in the game. For some people, the possibility of controlling replays, for example, would be what is of most interest in this regard, as it allows you to repeat mistakes from past games, in order to learn from your own mistakes in practice, instead of just looking at matches etc. I don't know everything you can do with TA. I heard the program has a manual that lists all its tools. If anyone can share this manual it would be nice.

I have been informed that there is a danger in making this tool avaible to everyone:



However, until this is possible, I would like to share the idea to make a limited version of TA for everyone, at least with the ability to control replays, since the replays files are encrypted so people couldn't use them without authorization:

Rafka accept vs me only inter and now he is playing elite here o0 wtf.

Rafka doesn't do what Rafka does for Rafka. Rafka does what Rafka does because Rafka is... Rafka.

His name is Rafka, Rafka
The bravest pioneer
No budget too steep, no sea too deep
Who's that?
It's him, Rafka
Rafka, Rafka, explorer of the sea
With a dying thirst to be the first
Could it be? Yeah that's him!

Yes, Komito. I understand better now. Well, go ahead guys! Make a TUS league discord channel! Will be awesome. Btw, Komito would be a great administrator for the channel, since he has nice ideas.

Ideas:
1) Option to fast foward turn time while, for example, "skip go" is selected. It can be useful when it's necessary wait SD. It will make less tedious wait full turn time.
2) option to change resolution during a game. I play 1920x10180, but 640x480 can be very useful to see pixels, terrain etc.
3) possibility to use a replay file to play again a game from a specific time.
