Tech Support / Worms Armageddon music won't play [FIXED IT MYSELF]
« on: April 23, 2022, 12:32 PM »
This one is honestly a bit weird. I have W:A installed on two laptops. One on its last legs (the integrated hard drive fails SMART tests) and another fresher (but still budget) one. The kind with 2 GB of RAM and an integrated eMMC NAND chip with only 32 GB of space. Both of them run W:A well, because it's not at all hard to run; naturally, the former one takes a lot longer to load stuff. Here's the kicker, though. It's the good laptop that can't seem to stream the music.
For reference, I tried turning off WormKit modules, and it still doesn't play the music. No errors or anything, just no music. I verified that the files are all installed on both systems (I even did a LAN game to compare, and the junker ran the music fine!) and even updated to the high quality versions and tested them again. The same thing happened.
The only difference between the two installations is that the working one is on the C: drive on Windows 7, and the not working one is on the D: drive on Windows 10. (I did move it there manually for reasons of storage limitations, but I don't think W:A cares much about that - it even fixes its own registry associations: maybe music is a strange exception?) Applying Windows 7 compatibility mode doesn't work either. The next thing I'll try once chkdsk does its work is probably to run the good laptop's installation on the crap one by network share. If that works...
EDIT: I did a little experiment, and symlinked W:A to my C: drive, and the music suddenly started working. Either it WAS because I manually moved the game, or the game itself doesn't like not being on the C drive. Only one way to find out. Well, two. I'll try RegEdit first.

Wormkit Modules / [Suggestion](/project?) wkControllerSupport
« on: March 28, 2022, 08:56 PM »
I know that mouse and keyboard are objectively better for playing this game to a high level of skill. But sometimes I just want to play hot seat Worms with a few lads 
and the PS1 version is definitely way easier to pick up and play. And sometimes lowering the skill gap is more fun at parties, you know? That's why items exist in Smash Bros.
So I always wondered why this game doesn't have controller support. Especially in current year, where you could literally run this game on a toaster. Simple party setup! One laptop with Worms installed, one HDMI cable, one controller, six mates. Even without how fancy the full Wormage has got recently, just having six players rather than four is a pretty great deal.
Since I'm not terribly experienced with programming, I wanted to know if it was even possible, or if some secret squirrel was doing it already (or had sequestered it somewhere in the annals of ancient versions that don't work anymore) before I dived in completely blind to try and do it myself. (To be honest, I don't even know what dependencies I need to work on modules... or even how to get the debugger to work. My experience really is quite limited.)
