I can play any day, although 8th January and the days before it I might be busy and out of home.

Oh, I didn't know this. Good to know. Thanks!

You can also use the Sanitize replay feature (if you really want to erase the chat due to other reasons). Right click at the replay file and left click at Sanitize.

I'll use this one for sure. I'll download as soon as I arrive home.

I imitate this guy since the first time I played RE4 and I beat this game 100%.

Marry Christ, the man.

I'd like to see a replay of this. Seems interesting. Many crates, limited rope and ammo, different powers and no SDET.

Happy Birthday!!! Wolf and the gang of worms!

@catoulacata we need to play our game. You didn't reply my private message.

Quote from: Sensei on December 13, 2024, 04:56 PMDon't know why, but I still can't seem to download MapGEN from worms2d.info 

Tried 3 links (zip and exes). Nothing's happening after clicking. Shouldn't be my PC ,since nothing happens even via mobile phone.

Most things you download from Worms Knowledge Base you need to right click and then click at "save link as...". I downloaded MapGen this way.

Great! I would enjoy a lot making custom terrains big maps with MapGen. Nizikawa's module can also generate big maps, but it is very glitchy, MapGen is fantastic!

Quote from: TheKomodo on December 13, 2024, 05:35 PMI just discovered that deleting the wk module makes the maps work.

Which module?

Quote from: TheKomodo on December 12, 2024, 10:04 PM@FoxHound Send me the maps and I'll upload them for you if you're worried about anything.

Honestly, I'm very inclined to do this. But, if I send to you now it would be almost the same as publishing it: outsourcing the task.

I'd prefer to at least see what people has to say or vote first. Nowadays with Internet Archive, in almost everything you do on the internet there is no real turn back, still, people sometimes take legal action against companies like YouTube. YouTube might delete all videos on his database and will prohibit it of being published again in cases like cyberbullying or at least copyright stuff.

Of course, TUS is not exactly a company (I guess? Maybe a philanthropic one if yes), but still, it is a website responsible for many players and even legal/justice stuff. So, if MonkeyIsland opined that is better to respect Swordfish wish, I'll take that into consideration, because I holded these maps until today, even though, I really think it's very sad that Swordfish took this decision.

I have a wormy friend that made the same with his good-looking shopper maps and until lately he decided not to publish them. He was desperate to recover his maps, and fortunately I and a wormer friend helped him to complete the collection of his own maps. I wanted him to publish, but he wanted to update the maps first. He is inactive now and didn't upload the maps (his name is Danelius, Genreakablind in the past).  Until today I could, but I never uploaded his maps to respect his choice.

In the case of Swordfish, it's worse because it's a different scheme that requires special maps, and he made a lot of unique (and BIG) maps that have good graphics too. In total they are 29 by Swordfish and there are also 2 Rope Knocking maps by DassFass (these were not deleted). So, I'm still in doubt about what to do, but I know I'm not the only one with his maps. There is Cgar and another guy that had only one missing and I sent him. So, I think it's a matter of time to these maps be uploaded by people anyway.

Quote from: FoxHound on December 11, 2024, 07:32 PMNot sure if I understood everything well, but if this update will allow the program to use custom terrains and make those terrains with doubled size, I will work right now on my scheme project Intermediate to the Power of 2 (Intermediate²). I would make a huge mappack on TUS and MonkeyIsland would probably suffer from headache when I do this.

All terrains still need converting to work with MapGen.  MapGen places objects and grass differently compared to the game so some stuff does need tweaking as part of the process.

MapGen themes live in the '..\data\generic\themes' folder.  All assets are PNG files.  You can use the "SpriteEddy" or "Sprite Editor" utilities to extract images from terrain files (level.dir) if anyone wants to do their own conversions.

I spent some time trying to do this, I collected all objects from Urban Invasion terrain, the grass, the roots, I copied a text file, and the texture as the soil... The first time I tried it worked with the gray soil and only one object was generating, no grass no roots (very gray terrain). Then I don't know what I did that now I can't make it work again.

I had to split the grass from the roots to put into mapgen folder.

Anyway, here is my attempt:

this weekend maybe? ne1?

Swordfish profile on WMDB is still up. I doubt he will answer me and probably he didn't change his mind. I'll send him a new message, let's see what happens.

Anyway, nothing impedes me of creating a cup for the scheme without uploading the maps to TUS. I could host all the games of the cup and people could still extract the maps from replay. All his schemes are still here on TUS. He deleted all his maps and the video he produced.

EDIT: Oh I already sent a message to him long ago about this, but he didn't reply.

Hi, I have all Rope Knocking maps. Rope Knocking is a scheme by Swordfish that he dedicated a lot of time on it. However, few years ago he decided to delete all his maps from WMDB and other websites.

What I want to know is:

Is it ethical to upload all the original maps of an author when this person decided to delete all of them from the database? It would be something without his permission, because he is not active. I'm holding this Mappack all this time thinking on this. I feel that they are beautiful and important to the game history, but at the same time, maybe he would get mad to see his maps available again.

Another thing that is making me think a lot is that I obtained the few remaining maps that I was missing thanks to Cgar. But, Cgar's last actions were very controversial, to don't say worse things. I know he is responsible for a lot of bad things about this game, and the last message he posted publicly was offending me for no apparent reason. Despite this, Cgar made A LOT of contributions to this game, helping hundreds of people on Help Channel, on the wiki, with custom terrains, obtaining and revealing all the random names of the worms, and several other things. If I upload this Mappack, I would have to credit him, despite his stupid last actions on this game.

What do you think?

Not sure if I understood everything well, but if this update will allow the program to use custom terrains and make those terrains with doubled size, I will work right now on my scheme project Intermediate to the Power of 2 (Intermediate²). I would make a huge mappack on TUS and MonkeyIsland would probably suffer from headache when I do this.

By the way, I wonder if IndiMask will be updated for 3.9, because I was thinking to make a new Die Pie map, a scheme by Cueshark that would benefit a lot from this module.
