HP should fall back to producing printers only

no need to worry, the majority of Steam users who buy games (other than Counter-strike and such popular crap) are way more polite than those you always meet who ended up downloading the game off piratebay. They are not "dumb-noobs" (see my classification from the past), they're very adaptive and intelligent and don't mind joining #Help to get some clear help.
Also, another sale: now -50% (all worms games -75% except revolution and armageddon)

Worms Armageddon along with other Team17 games was for as low as $1 in Humble Bundle two weeks ago during a week. More than 100000 people bought it, Wormnet was filled with new players

I haven't played the campaign still, but one of the W:A players (the one who also did big tutorial video) said that campaign was the only good thing that has happened to Worms since wa 
Rope is, of course, even worse than in Reloaded: can't do anything at all anymore, they introduced teleport gun race though, which is similar but still not what you'd expect. Normal gameplay is normal, can't say anything good or bad there.

Quote from: avirex on November 15, 2013, 02:50 AMbut when i am in a game, it goes to full screen, which is obviously how i would like it to be.... but how can i minimize so i can do things on windows, but still be viewing the game???

Set ActiveBackground to 1 in the settings file (wkD3D9Wnd.ini) or enable it for just one session with Ctrl+H (will be overridden on next run): now when you're in-game, do alt+tab, and you will see the game running on background. Note that sound is not played in this mode: this is the default behavior of the game (if I ever find how I could make it an option)

Quote from: avirex on November 15, 2013, 02:50 AMalso, what is the lock mouse feature for???

pinning mouse? It is now done automatically when switching to any other window (i.e. alt+tab) but you can still do Ctrl+G to unpin the cursor anytime.

Quote from: avirex on November 15, 2013, 02:50 AMand, i dont think its a feature now, but are you able to make it so your team mate can view that mouse cursor?? would really be a helpful thing in clan games, elite's especially.

I don't think this is something feasible. How would you sent it over?

Quote from: kaelin on November 14, 2013, 10:15 AMCentered, seems to lock my mouse into game, so that I can't pan my mouse off the edge (like you can when its in the upper left corner).  Not a big loss, but I would prefer not to have to alt tab to click something 'behind' the game.

If I allow panning your mouse off the edge you would come back and slap me into the face again because your cursor position would be inconsistent (jumping from one edge to another). But it is not my issue. It is a Team17's issue from 1999, for which no cure has been found yet, sorry. Have you ever thought why we still have a 640x480 frontend after more than a decade and with the two programmers even having source code access?

Quote from: kaelin on November 14, 2013, 10:15 AM
Custom size, seems to make the game fullscreen (and no i'mnot running at 1024).

Custom size is to stretch frontend to the custom size rather than a full "Stretch" setting. Just imagine you're stretching a 640x480 picture to 1024 in photoshop. You can't enlarge frontend without stretching all of its graphics thanks to crutches left by Team17.
I could make a long story about the deep details of this but I just don't want to do so as it is simply a crutch mess and not even worth dealing with.

actually yes, have you installed vmware tools? vmware should prompt you to do so on first launch.
vmware tools are the essential drivers for graphics and other stuff, just like drivers for real hardware, and will solve many problems
Quick google found the best guide for doing so: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003417
Do what it says in the "Solution" section.
Good luck

if something is really hard or you don't want to constantly ask about random parts of the process, then we should have a teamviewer session, where your problem will be resolved with a very high probability

just use a flat kb. 1 space 1 finger, fast speed, no problems

Thanks for updating this, StepS.

It shouldn't affect chat in the channels/lobby or the in-game chat?
If it's not supposed to affect in-game chat, it may not be working right.

Take this config to make WASD work as the arrow keys:

Quote[RemapKeys]
37=37,65
38=38,87
39=39,68
40=40,83

When you type A in the in game chat, the cursor types the letter and goes to the left side (and to the right side for D); to make a question mark in my keyboard, I need to press AltGr+W, that makes the chat window go up, and produces a question mark (Alt(Gr)+S also makes the chat window go down).

arrow keys ≠ typing text keys. this is the default behavior of the game.

AntiKeyboardHookA.reg doesn't have any affect for me. Alt-f4 still doesn't work in the frontend on w7.

launch W:A as an admin once, exit W:A, launch WA again or reboot the computer.

Quote from: j0e on November 08, 2013, 08:11 PMAs far as I can tell, on Windows 7 alt-tab has no effect when the frontend is open.

This is untrue, please use the reg file from the archive, it is there for a reason.

Quote from: StepSmaybe I could add a teleport-like feature so it would result near the expected graphical's window edge

This would be very useful, if it's easy to code. I would love to be able to "teleport" the mouse outside of the frontend's window boundaries, so that I could click on stuff on my 2nd monitor, without having to minimize the frontend. It's going to be a long time before WA 4.0 comes out, so I'd say it'd be a very worthwhile fix, as long as it's not difficult to code.

maybe not, but as I said it is a very huge crutch and I don't want an yet another pollution of the code that may break in any unwanted circumstance

awesome, someone actually wants to play AOE 1, when would you like to do it?

BTW I have a patch for 1920x1080 if you need

also, if you have bad colors on Windows 7, no need to kill explorer, simply use DirectDrawFix on your exe, or install the wndmode windowed mode module (by putting it to the root). the problem will be gone forever

Spoiler! View

dunno man, this game worked perfectly without any single lags on that laptop for me.
try installing the driver that you sent me on facebook. because the microsoft one sucks
however you will have to disable driver signing if you're using x64 windows, and edit the INF file.
