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.

What is the format of the game? bo3 for all stages?

+ it would be nice to clarify if an island map can be used and if so, what is the sequence? Island-Island-Cave-Cave?

Bo3 is not specified so it is bo1 by default.

Team17 maps are by dual cavern by default not Island.

This isn't official tus scheme so that shouldn't be assumed

Oh right.

In general, Team17 should be played in dual caverns? This is what I have always known, right?

I'm going have to dare and say no. Rope is such an intricate part of my life here on Worms, without it I probably wouldn't be here.

As a child I played Worms 2 offline and that was fun but I can't find myself doing that today. When I entered the online portion of the game I was Immediately fascinated, because people utilized the rope in such weird alien way that I felt compelled to master it as well.

I am not entirely sure even the developers at the time thought of true potential of the rope when it was designed. I suppose it was inevitable that people would experiment with it. Though this topic does not ask if it is inevitable or not, or if the developers intended ot to be used as we know it now.

Hypothetically out of curiosity: Would you play Worms Armageddon in a world where the ninja rope was never realized of its full potential? For example: There would be no Shopper, no Roper, no BIG RR, and so on, just only ground schemes. You would still see the ninja rope in the inventory but you wouldn't know what to do with it as we do. You would come online and see only ground scheme hosted, and you ''may'' not see the people who played mostly for roping.

Would any league exists if the rope was never used as we know it? Would WA be what is it today?

wow beauty map (:

I have this wallpaper., since 2011.

It is pathetic and low to alias.

Whoever who has alis now has brought great disrespect to this community.

It/they are probably thriving on this thread as well.
