I do agree to some extent that there is some skill involved in memorizing every worm and this should Indeed be an option to switch on and off. It could be made visible in the host room next to the worm health in a box where the number would be or a plus symbol.

Bad idea, memorize the order makes part of strategy and thats YOU who have to do it if YOU dont do that, that shows u r a weak player and not the best!

makes part of game!

That's true too.

But then again I don't care about being the best.

I support this.

Great!

If server-side software is closed source you will never know what it's doing exactly. It may or may not keep chat logs. There's no way of knowing. Always be careful of what you're saying!

Or else you will get cancelled.

And you are again?

During a 2vs2 game, Adnan and I acquired two banana bombs while our opponents acquired 1. We still had a fun game, just something I thought I'd share.

It shouldn't warn about MapGEN itself, but it is probably unhappy about the wkMapGEN module which uses MadCHook to hook into WA (and is included along with MapGEN). Lots of things false-positive MadCHook because it *could* be used in a dangerous manner.

Thanks.

Not currently, though if the machine you want to run it on has the correct VC Redist installed already, there is no reason you can't just copy the files across from another machine. I stopped uploading plain zip files when I stopped statically linking the libraries as people were having issues with not having the redists installed already.

Why does Window defender stops and warn me about this software though?

Hi, is there a portable version of mapgen?

I contemplated whether to make this topic at the very start of Syc's Team17 cup. Then later it was specified it was open map, and that prompted me to ask the question why do some people prefer open maps for Team17? I wished to understand why, and so far I have received a fair amount of reasons here and there and I get it I sympathize with both sides. The question becomes if I am willing to roll over and adapt myself to this new way.

If more people in the future will ask for Island Teqm17 instead of the traditional map, then the latter may phase out in favor of the former.  If I for example would host a Team17 and someone would join and ask for Island, and I would say ''no'' then this person could leave. It could be like e.g: I host a Shopper on a Roper map, or a Roper on a Shopper map. I guess no one would play a roper on a shopper map? I know I wouldn't.

Yes I know it is a game and people should play how they like that's fine and all. BUT in general term. there has to be some standards set for those who prefer such. That's why maybe I think Island Team17 needs its own name to help separate itself from the traditional Team17, Island17 e.g.

When it comes to this cup I think the turnout is great and I am happy to see this sort of engagement in the community. So kudos to Syc

I meant no disrespect.

I am not sure if Team17 should follow the same formula as Intermediate, but that's coming from someone who was born into the fact that Team17 is strictly played in twin tunnel cave maps.

Best of 3 are very time consuming and Team17 is very time consuming enough. There is no need for potential 1 hour of play...

Why there is no option for both types?

Because I am curious what you prefer the most.

In recent times I have taken notice that some (without knowing the numbers) people play Team17 in open maps, rather to play Team17 in twin tunnel cave maps. For me the open map is blasphemy because I have always played Team17 in twin tunnel cave maps, even back in 2004. Some could argue that open maps are better for many reasons, and these reasons could make the scheme more Interesting. But if it that is the case, wouldn't that change the scheme integrity? Couldn't it be possible to change the name of the scheme to help differentiate the map preference? 

Though if you would argue that open Team17 maps were a thing 20 years ago, then it is still a problem IMO.

Thoughts?

Suddenly to my knowledge the cup required the maps to be open.

So I back out.

Good luck with cup.
