We were helping someone on Discord get the Big RR scheme and BAZA pointed out there is teleport in the official league scheme.

Now, it totally makes sense to have teleport in Tower Race, but it shouldn't be in Big RR. (TTRR doesn't have teleport)

They are 2 different styles of roping and tactics, 2 separate schemes with completely different map styles, so I don't see why they don't have individual schemes on TUS.

Also, with the addition of 3.8, i've been playing a lot of Tower Race with Anti-Sink on and people seem to think it's much better, so you only need 1 worm per team, that is a big of a drastic change though so I imagine people would want to try it for themselves, and discuss it before possibly implementing this.

TUS Discussion / Anti-lock in BnG
September 02, 2020, 01:43 PM
I was just in a game with Sensei & SiD talking about scheme changes and I was asking if they knew why Anti-lock was added to BnG but not all other schemes, it was suggested I should make a post, which almost gave me a heart attack  :D

Was this rule added to BnG without asking the community 1st? And all the other added rules in general?

TL;DR - Implementing this rule gives players who use notching to aim a HUGE advantage, they can hit anywhere on the map using math, especially with any wind power using full power shots, and full power grenades, everyone knows how easy it is to do full power shots.

3s grenades, and 5s low gravity grenades are also easy to hit because of the specific position the power is released has visual cues with the cursor making those easy as well, there is a reason why these are the most common shots in BnG.

People who don't use notching, have to guess every time.




Detailed explanation:

To put it simply, this rule helps notchers, and is something we've tried to prevent for as long as I can remember, so i'm completely baffled as to why we are doing the opposite now, which is helping notchers by giving them an advantage over players who don't notch and pretty much guess where to shoot, then adjust it.

1st off let's define what notching is, not to be confused with another method I know a few players used called steps(using the different sprite positions in the same way notching works).

A "notch" is the smallest movement possible by tapping the arrow key very quickly, depending on what keyboard you have, your own reflexes, and the sensitivity, sometimes it will move the distance of 2 or more notches with each press, but it's really easy to find a cheap keyboard which has low sensitivity making people able to go "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc", counting out these shots.

1st off, let's begin by explaining how easy it is to achieve a full power shot(FP for short), you basically hold down the fire button and don't let go until it automatically fires because it reached maximum power, this makes it impossible to miss 100% power shots.

Let's also take into account what was said in the TL;DR section with the visual cues for 3s and 5s LG shots.

Ok, now, "notching" is using this information, specific resolutions, and mathematics to ensure pixel perfect accuracy, especially with 4 second full power grenades which are the easiest shot in the game because of this method, and is a massive reason why repeating shots and generally using 4s full power grenades were sort of looked at as "cheap" in the first place. Notching can be used for almost every type of shot, with and without low gravity, including:

4s FP / 3s / Banks / Transfers / 4s & 5s FP Floorbanks / 5s LG / 4s LG / Bunnyhops / Etc.

People who know notching know how to count out their shots from a perfectly vertical 0 degree aim, so for them anti-lock doesn't prevent this at all, if anything it can help as it always starts from 0/90 degree angles.

Notching also includes knowing exactly where a bazooka will explode by aiming straight up, full power, for every wind power possible, and knowing how many "notches" to adjust it by from 0 degrees to make it hit anywhere, which makes it possible to even shoot through small gaps because they know the math and have the experience of knowing the path the bazooka will follow with each level of wind power aimed straight up with full power.

People who don't know how to use notching, basically people who aren't using math, and rely on adjusting their aim using natural methods like some people use girders to measure distance between kamikazi's and stuff, knowing exactly where to stand on a worms head to place a mine/dynamite by carefully memorizing sprite positions, in BnG people can use a combination of the background, placing their finger over the cursor, land objects and destroyed land, to reset their aim and adjust their shot carefully.

I understand the nature behind the decision to use anti-lock, in theory, it's a fair move, in practise, it opens up a massive advantage for people who are notching.

I hope you can reconsider and remove the anti-lock rule.

So I got my good keyboard back and i'm getting into Big RR again, however, I notice when my worm is at the bottom of the map, the screen is showing normal brightness, but when my worm moves up a bit, it goes dark again...

I've recorded a video, it's not great quality, but it shows the issue i'm having.



Now, here's the funny thing, when I record the same thing using OBS display capture, the playback is fine, the brightness stays high throughout playback, so the reason I used a webcam is to show you what i'm seeing and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to fix it, i've tried NVIDIA settings, display settings, google, everything, but nope... Nothing...

This does not happen in normal sized maps like roper which fit the whole screen using 1920x1080 resolution, the brightness is fine, it's only when using a map bigger than the screen.

If you have any ideas i'd love to hear them!

Pretty sure I asked this about a month or so ago, and i'm sure StepS answered something, but I can't find the thread where I did, maybe it was asked in someone else's thread.

Starting WA with the latest Steam update( 3.8 ) I get these 2 errors:





I need wkRemapKeys working and it would be nice in general to have like things like kawoosh kick etc.

Sooooo, how to get these working again?

General discussion / That's 3.8 out now :)
July 16, 2020, 07:38 PM
Enjoy :)

So, we gotta contact StepS cuz a lot of things aren't working anymore, how will I use wkRemapKeys now?
#206
Unfortunately I inherited a new PC recently, it's a good computer and WA runs pretty good after installing it on there.

The game runs fine, roping seems good, but for some reason the brightness of the screen keeps changing as i'm moving around the map, does anyone know if this is an issue with my graphics settings or it's something to do with the game(and it being a new installation?).

Never really noticed that before so I imagine it's something to do with graphics settings which I have no clue what to look for?

So, Bethesda announced a subscription service for pay 2 win that completely rips you off, as if the gaming industry wasn't bad enough.

Check out what a fan did, bought falloutfirst.com and made this:

Off Topic / George Carlin knows the script.
September 04, 2019, 06:08 PM
 George Carlin talks about the system in America, but it applies to the whole world, and although more people are realizing this, it's a shame more people don't realize it and do something about it:

Quote"But there's a reason. There's a reason. There's a reason for this, there's a reason education sucks, and it's the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It's never gonna get any better. Don't look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control thin
gs and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don't want: They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they're getting f@#!ed by a system that threw them overboard 30 f@#!ing years ago. They don't want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they're coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all from you, sooner or later, 'cause they own this f@#!ing place. It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people -- white collar, blue collar, it doesn't matter what color shirt you have on -- good honest hard-working people continue -- these are people of modest means -- continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don't give a f@#! about them. They don't give a f@#! about you. They don't give a f@#! about you. They don't care about you at all -- at all -- at all. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That's what the owners count on; the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that's being jammed up their assholes everyday. Because the owners of this country know the truth: it's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it."

Thoughts?

Off Topic / Intelligence
July 05, 2019, 08:54 AM
I read this a while back, and was reminded of it recently, I found it extremely fascinating and i've known and/or thought about a lot of stuff in this article for many years now:

https://knowledgeutopia.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/the-cetacean-brain-and-hominid-perceptions-of-cetacean-intelligence/

Personally, I don't believe humans are the most intelligent species on this planet, the more we study other species on Earth, the more this becomes clearer to me.

I would like to hear your views and opinions, try to keep it clean :)

Tech Support / KawooshKick problem
January 22, 2019, 08:05 PM
So I installed this on other laptop same as on other computers, but i'm getting the following error:

"Failed to load WormKit module wkKawooshKick.dll: Error 0x0000007E"

What have I done wrong? I just put the file into Worms Armageddon folder as you do wormkit modules, it's 3.7.2.1 version in WA 3.7.2.1 so it should be fine right?

So who is this guy that appeared out of nowhere then?

Gaming Central / Steam - Offline mode(WNET works)
December 19, 2018, 10:08 AM
So, I thought it was pretty cool how WA works when using Steam in offline mode, just that you can connect to WNET while being in offline mode.

Anyone know any other Steam games that work this way, or is WA an exception because of the connection method?
