Hey :) Im on phone so sorry for future mistakes. Freelancer is decent if you're a graphic designer, you have a bunch of contests where you can submit work you do and have a chance to be picked as a winner. There you make final adjustments and send photoshop or illustrator files to the contest holder and he pays you. It all sound great, but here's the thing. People expect you to lift their company from deep shit to market force for 30$ and they manage to be extra rude while doing it. Sometimes they always have another thing to add to their logo,sometimes they get back at u after half a year, some of these are nice people who understand its polite to pay for extra work,while the others think you're theirs now. You can protect yourself by reading terms of service carefully, learn what you have and don't have to do. Remember that as a freelancer you are their resource, not a customer and they will always prefer customer's well being,so in case of any dispute between you too, if you don't have a solid ground you are banana'd.

Now part for the jobs. Competition is huge, indians tend to do everything for less than 30$ and then learn while doing it. People fall for this easily because it sometimes works and these people have a couple of reviews so they think their work is high quality. In my experience, after a lot of begging I managed to land a translating job cheaply and get some cash. As electrical engineer, all I've done on freelancer was translating and drawing logos and made some money off both. None of my expertise. Also I've had one incident where i was accused of money laundering (again customer-resource related) and they tried to take 10k$ from me (nice try, even I can't do that lol).

Try to withdraw larger sums of money as freelancer takes percebtage of what you takw or 5$ if percentage is smaller. Use paypal, DON'T use payoneer as its going to cost you a lot in the end and you have to waot for them to send you a card.

As someone who enjoys using a computer, I really enjoyed working at usertesting.net (recheck address,not 100% sure its correct, green logo anyway). There you test new games and apps for 5-10$/test on all platforms, if something goes wrong (app is bad or something) you get an apology and a payment. Sometimes tests are region specific so this makes it hard for people like me who live in the middle of nowhere. Anyway gotta go take a lecture so gonna have to end it here, good luck :).

Okay so considering I only told Sensei about my issue, I don't want to be an asshole and act like nothing happened. So I had this beautiful GTX 760 working like a charm, but my friend who was assembling a PC I was using decided to save some money on PSU and bought cheap chinese molex to 6 pin cable which ended my GTX's life pretty quick after installation. I took the GPU to repairs and they tried heating it and reinstalling its internal PSU but no luck. Burnt the PSU too btw, but I had one to spare. So as far as I'm concerned, I can't play any games, nor will I be able to in close future, sorry Godmax for dragging you around, the guy repairing just let me know the results today. You can just count me out I guess, sorry guys :(

Haven't been here in a while, but my two cents... Sensei is right, tele is a huge problem because when it does appear it cancels your momentum and you need to go for another swing usually. WMDB problem is solvable, it's just a lot of work. Delete stupid maps or mark maps where starts are within one of the corners. Or at least put the instructions on screen center, some people really don't want others to enjoy their maps without having a nervous breakdown lol

Oh I may have made a mistake...Is it finish when I reach the finish or when I drop my worm on the ground? Because I reached the finish, took a quick look, it was 190, dropped and surr, if it's drop time it's 191....

Anyways, very fun map to rope on definitely :)

Promotion Project / Re: Blacklist script

Okay, I can see this thread is going in an unexpected way, I can see it's not currently possible and it's ok.

The thing I don't understand is all the hate towards the opinion I gave, sometimes I'm in a mood to teach someone and i believe there are a lot of players in wormnet today (okay, not a lot, but at least 4-5) who were at some point taught something by me, but when I'm in a rush, taking break from studying for a test, I want to have a clean, quick game and what lights my fire the most is those who learned to reply "cak" to me asking rules and then making the game shitty. I mean, what's the difference, this way I would block them, the other way, I would rehost and lose two minutes.....

Anyway, thanks for the interest and thanks for detailed reply StepS :)

Promotion Project / Blacklist script
« on: November 07, 2016, 07:18 PM »
Hi guys, I will keep this short and I want to note that this is also a request thread for StepS and all the guys involved in Worms development.

So this is not directly related to W:A, but could be integrated, even though I doubt the developers would think it would benefit Worms app itself.

So basically, WormNET is awfully clogged with leavers and noobs these days, specifically rope scheme games related. And I'm sick of it. I actually started working on a blacklist, so basically every time someone joins, I check on a notepad file to see if the player is present and for what reason.
But as you can probably imagine, it can be a lot of work, especially when the list grows larger.

So I'm not asking you to integrate this, I'm asking you to provide me with something I can use to create it for myself and share with other players.

I have a lot of experience in Python and I've been googling for worms API for python, but as I thought, I couldn't find it.

All it basically has to do is check player names in the room, check if any of them match the blacklist, notify the owner and that's it.
Entries should probably be added manually since rope racing and other schemes would probably break the system as the players leave early so I guess my requirements are simple here.

Looking forward to your reply guys.
If nothing, can I be provided with info on creating wormkit modules so I can achieve it that way?

I think it's better if host/anyone picked a map for every phase so it's same for everyone. But it's up to you guys, I think this way there will be a lot of confusion for no reason :)

You know, I thought it could be possible, but since it's a new laptop, I love it so much that I blindly dismiss all theories of it being bad in any way ;D

Thanks for the answer on this, I'll check it out when I get home :)

Well in that case, why not break the expected update into fragments?
Nobody cares if it's full 4.0, I bet everyone would be glad to see a little update too, for example:

Make worms able to import more types of pictures for graves/flags (not just 8bit bmp)
Maybe introduce reconnection system (even tho I'm aware that requires tons of work, so leave it as a special update)
Handle the multi-key problem (when more keys are pressed certain keys simply get ignored, I thought it was my lptop, but since I've bought a new one, I can see it's not)
Integrate pausing system, may be stupid, but if someone really needs to do a 15min job, he just types /pause and anyone can /resume, put 2-3 pauses per game so it's not exploitable and that's it.

Sorry if I'm talking without understanding, if I could help I would, I'm relatively good at python and I've done some projects, so in case you need a hand, showing me how things work, maybe I could help but I doubt anything there is done in python.

Best: Bazooka, especially while shooting backwards (like when you attempt to do Dragon for example :))

Worst: Homo Pigeon, I can't think of a situation where this worthless piece of crap didn't eventually turn on me and made me lose a game...:P
