Congrats Albus!

@Memox - You can download the replays from Tournaments and Cups by navigating to the fixtures above, clicking on "Results" and then you can grab the replays from there.

You can also find the replays by navigating to the top of TUS moving your mouse over Tournaments/Cups and selecting "Recent Games".

Thank you very much for the tip!

I have a brand new PC and it runs WA perfectly in ultrawide.

Good for you! I wish I could say the same.

Shoot, I lost it! At least there are Komo's VODs I guess .
Are there any replays btw? If you guys can upload them I would like to record everything so I can post it somewhere where it doesn't get deleted after awhile (like Twitch does).

Quote from: Memox on July 28, 2021, 06:47 PMWhat about the time of the cup anyway? I can't find this information anywhere on the page, perhaps it's just me... Do you still need to come up with that or am I missing something?

I'm not sure if you realize this, though Cups work differently from Tournaments:

Tournaments:

TUS Tournaments are events which have a signups time which lasts usually around 10-30 minutes, then once signups are closed pairings are immediately drawn, players go straight into the Knockout Stage and generally they are all present and active and finish all their games there and then within a matter of hours.

Cups:

Cups are events in which signups can last for anything up to a few weeks or more, once there are enough players the pairings are done and players are organized into Groups. If there are 4 groups, of 4 players, they must all play each other once, the top 2 players from each group are advanced to the Knockout Stage, from there the format is exactly the same as a Tournament although the difference is they organize games in advance just like how CWT/ONL PO works.

With Cups, the moderator will decide a deadline for players to finish their games, once that deadline has been reached the moderator will deal with any Groups or players who have unfinished games as they see fit.

Once the Cup begins, players are responsible for checking who their opponents are and then organizing their own games as efficiently as possible.

Cups usually take anywhere between 2 weeks and several months to finish.

I see, so it must be decided after all the users have signed up. I like that, because it negates the issue of different timezones, in a way that everyone can decide the right time for them and act accordingly. That's all I needed to know.

Thanks. I know and have read all these guides, but I still need some time to put it into practice. Sometimes I pull it off, but it's too unpredictable right now... Someday, someday...!

I didn't know that, so I have almost a week to think about it. That's enough time. Not enough to grind, but surely enough to come up with a choice. What about the time of the cup anyway? I can't find this information anywhere on the page, perhaps it's just me... Do you still need to come up with that or am I missing something?

Signups for the 80hp Cup are now open!

About "players cannot refuse to have their game streamed and are not allowed to watch the streaming of the match they are playing"

This is really aimed at the Knockout stage, for the group stage I wouldn't worry so much about it, potentially you could have multiple players playing at the same time, or they simply bump into each other online.

The games that are absolutely crucial to organize and stream though are from the Quarter-Finals onwards, those games must be organized in advance. I'd like to stream as many others as possible during the group stage though nothing bad will happen if you just go ahead and play it, we encourage activity!

I'm not very sure about this. I would love to play Dario's scheme and I'm willing to get somewhat brutally annihilated on stream too. I would love to play it just for fun rather than indulging into an obsessive and scupulous analysis of how should I place this dynamite, how should I do that, or even writing down the rotation of the enemy's worms... And all that sort of stuff that just isn't for me. I'm deliberately playing like a noob in that sense, but if hypothetically speaking I could win without having fun, I would rather lose and having fun. So that's my mindset for this. What is really stopping me at this point is the lineup. Those guys are veterans, brutal, and amazing. It's ok for me to lose, even annihilated as I said earlier - but with them? Annihilation is reductive. It will be a merciless bloodbath, an embarassment fully displayed in livestream! I don't know about this. I must think about it. I'll be watching, that much is for sure.

EDIT: It seems there's only a place left. That's not even a question then, I would rather want my place to go to someone like Korydex. That will make it much more fun to watch.

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.

I didn't, but if he didn't give it to you, a veteran, I highly doubt he would think about me first. Let's just hope he releases it sooner or later as a limited edition, maybe in an official patch. It's harmless, if well implemented, I think... Everybody would benefit from a TA, let alone the potential for those tournaments where you need to restore a game. There are a multifarious of purposes with this tool and it would suck if only a selected few benefitted from it.

Hi. Joined up today and shared some sound banks. 2 of which I created back in 1999 using samples from the pc game Kingpin: Life of Crime. I found them on an old hard drive yesterday and was looking for a Worms Armageddon forum and found this place (thank you google). The other is from film Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels. I have no idea who created that one but it was around 1999 that I found it.
Anyway, I just thought I'd introduce myself and hope this is the right place to do that. I recently re-discovered Worms Armageddon in the sale on gog.com and have just set up an older pc in my man cave (garden shed) to play it on

Welcome. Post pictures of the shed  jk

Worms Armageddon is still being updated and works on newer PCs as well.

Eh, I'm not sure about that. An old rig is probably better for this game, he's doing the right thing imo. Personally, now that I have a bomb of a PC, I miss the old one I had simply because Worms is the only game that microstutters for me - and that ruins a lot of matches. I talked with StepS about it but there's nothing we can do about it, no matter the settings I try. So yeah, there's that...

I think it's partly because of me but I feel the same way and even started to play offline more often because it's much easier to start playing.
Sometimes it's boring to play for fun with randoms or league with the same handful of players. Hundreds of players that I loved to play with left and that's why it feels so empty.

Lately I've been playing offline too, a lot. I can find games just fine (not easily like, say, two years ago, but not that rarely either), but it's more than not either Kaos, Shopper, rinse and repeat. I'm getting bored of that... Let's play together sometime and not just play at the same time, alone!

Isn't there a limit on YouTube until you become a verified YouTuber? Like you make so many subscribers or something?

Back in the day you could upload only 15 minutes per video, but now this verifying process is pretty much granted the moment you subscribe.

Quote from: MonkeyIsland on June 21, 2021, 07:22 AM
Well TUS server could use Youtube's API to upload the videos. I'm still not sure if such high number of videos are allowed in Youtube. At least the submission rate must be limited. Doesn't Youtube count it as flooding?

@cgar, How much did it take to convert that replay into video?

At the time of writing this, no. You might upload 1000 videos a day and nobody in the YouTube team would bat an eye.

Quote from: cgar on June 21, 2021, 01:24 AM
This may just be totally infeasible lol.

You would need to upload at least 26 games every hour to get it done in just under a full year. (227,560 games / 26 per hour / 24 hours in a day / 365.25 days in a year. Unless I'm dumb xD)

That means if it was 1 person they would have to upload a video every 2 minutes and 18 seconds. For a whole year. Non stop. No food breaks or bathroom breaks or sleep lmao

It also means that they would have to make sure to maintain an average upload speed of at least half a megabyte per sec for the whole year. Assuming an average file size of only 70MiB per game. Which is already a low estimate since that encode was at pretty low quality settings.
Plus, since YouTube re-encodes whatever you upload, it would be better to at least double the quality of the videos. That would mean over a megabyte of constant upload would be needed. Which is quite often not feasible for many non symmetric connections that prioritize download speed.

That's why I said you should either decrease the quality or use a video codec (or even better a file extension) that isn't too demanding. Even if you did have all of this in place with the perfect balance between quality and fluidity, you still had to sacrifice a lot of time. So yeah, maybe not a year, but we're still talking about months. There is one way however that might speed up the process a bit, that is putting multiple replays in a single vid. Even if it's 10 hours per video, that would probably be less intensive, and the final user can simply use timestamps to go directly to the replay he's interested in (which are embedded on the loading bar of YT itself). I don't know if that would make that much of a big difference though, especially regarding upload times.

Quote from: MonkeyIsland on June 20, 2021, 01:22 PM
I like this idea but the needed space is insane. Have you tested a replay? For example how much a 30-min BnG game with 720p and 50fps would be?
I don't know about Youtube's policy. Is there a limit on how many videos you can upload?

Also that software by solemnwarning has not been updated. Not sure if it works with v3.8.1

There's no limit to how many videos you can upload on YouTube, meaning that you can treat it as a cloud storage. However I would personally recommend 480p instead of 720p in order to make the upload and the rendering way, way faster and lighter. It's still enough to properly read the text, although not as sharp as HD of course.

Hi there.

I am just curious what you use to host your game

WormNAT2 for overall quality of life (in selecting/modifying stuff). HostingBuddy for anonymity (the IP address of the host doesn't show if you login into a room made with HB).
