Promotion Project / Re: Where to buy W:A?

they couldn't get the multiplayer working internally so they axed it completely even though it works perfectly fine

well yes, because have simply used a TryMedia frontend.exe which allows to play without the CD but removes this multiplayer ability, while still keeping the 1.05 Worms2.exe. It's quite stupid because one can do so for free (assuming TryMedia version itself was free), by simply downloading it and then copying over the Worms2.exe from the Team17's free patch. I assume they simply couldn't patch the game properly to not require the disc rather than using a broken version (S*natch did that a long time ago, why couldn't GOG make an agreement with Team17 after all?).
The Worms2.exe is the UK 1.05 one, with only 2-byte difference (using WIN32.DLL instead of WINMM.DLL, which also loads audiere.dll, an extremely heavy (500 kB) crutch used for playing music files from the Worms 2 directory).
Overall, sad, very sad.

he is too lazy to make something new :(
that depends :)
one thing is: you tell him to go find some meat, but the other thing: you give him some raw meat and he does the thing. He's too lazy to search.

Nice! ;D

where to report bugs? warnings started appearing after a worm was pushed here
Spoiler! View

pressing Cancel disabled them.
Maybe a good idea to create a bugreporting thread here

I really like your avatar Impo : ) You have excellent taste !'

EDIT:How come the captain hook in your image has "Godmax "  written on it ??? Are you implying that I am Godmax/Tobi ?
those are godmax and tobi puppets in his hands, it's just that the texts are not very visible, could use shadows I think

Btw, you could do something like little worms spinning instead of stars/ snowflakes? would be fun ^^
there's a big problem with introducing new sprites. Frontend palette is extremely limited (which is why there's no white space in settings screen), and also which is why the doomsday comets only flew in the main screen. Their palette is messed up otherwise. Even if you modify the .pal files it's still not all so good: various graphics use the stars/spanners palette slots, and depend on them.

General discussion / Happy new year! wkSnow update
January 01, 2014, 10:24 PM
Happy new year! wkSnow updated to v0.2.

NEW:

  • All W:A versions since 3.6.28.0 are supported.
  • Change size of snow. Valid sizes are "Small", "Normal", "Big" and similar, or 1, 2, 3, where 2 (Normal) is default.
  • Change amount of snow particles to any value from 1 to 2147483647*
  • You can force no snow for Christmas (and other days) with the corresponding option in ini file (set ForceNoSnow to 1). Snow will be disabled, and the amount/size values will be ignored. The module still has to be "Enabled" for this to work. Christmas map generation is not affected.
* - on most common PCs, setting more than 150000 particles may decrease the FPS.

Quote from: Kubu-Tsukareta on December 29, 2013, 06:28 AMYes, I have that. That's the reason the frontend is in a corner. I don't know what settings to enable to get a windowed frontend.
it is already windowed: it's just borderless. Unfortunately we have to thank Team17 for making a very awkward frontend, in short words, it is impossible to move the frontend's window around because Team17 made it in such an universally stupid way that sticks it to the top left corner. The frontend's window consists of two, or in some extreme cases, even three windows, one of which is a very huge-ass crutch that causes all of these problems. Moving either of these windows will make epicest glitches to both mouse movement and the interface rendering which are not solvable even by the two programmers constantly updating the game for more than a decade with source code access, and we aren't even speaking of enlarging the frontend's bounds. Have you thought why we are still in a 640x480 frontend environment, after all these years?
However you can stretch it graphically by enabling "Stretch" in the ini file (section "Frontend"), or set a custom size, but both of these will eat your mouse inside a window: this is intentional to prevent you from seeing how badly the frontend is made (I have explained something else here). Until frontend is fixed by the game's maintainers (that will happen once an official windowed mode is added) or gets rid of its awkward DXMFC system, moving the frontend window will very likely remain in your dreams.

The most likely reason for a bad frontend implementation is because Worms Armageddon was released for a lot of gaming consoles (nintendo etc), and so Team17 "optimized" it for the console. Worms 2, otherwise, is not console-oriented, and therefore has a nice windowed frontend which still works flawlessly without any glitches even on the newest systems, same for the in-game.

However, everything is perfect when playing a match: the in-game window can have a border without problems and can be moved around, you can do various things there, including multi-monitor play (set "InGame" to 1 and set the number of "Monitors" to use to enable multi-monitor gameplay)

This problem only affects Windows 7, it doesn't happen on Vista and 8. You may enable "Disable desktop composition" in the compatibility settings of WA.exe, OR install my D3D9Wnd, which will not only solve your problem, but also allow you to run the game in windowed mode and spanned across your multiple monitors, so your game area is expanded to two monitors! Like this.
