I personally hope we will never start banning people from this already small community, from this silly little game we all love. And if there are those who cannot cope with certain things typed in WormNet, again, why not have an option to mute users.

if only we could get rid of them off the face of the Earth entirely then we'd be cooking with gas.

That's not an opinion it's a universal fact lol.

These are both kind of red flags IMO

Agreed... That, and proper moderation of WormNET to create a safer environment for young people who would otherwise be pushed away by negativity and toxicity.

I've lost count of the amount of people who told me they stopped playing due to racism, homophobia and bigotry on WormNET.

Even had someone impersonate Sensei recently joining a live streamed Cup match using racist words, we knew it wasn't Sensei though.

Bad idea IMO, people who can't cope with a few no-no words on a computer screen are the ones who create a toxic environment is what we all should have learned these last few years. If you're gonna start banning people from playing WA because they said something whoever the moderator is finds offensive, I think we're gonna lose a lot of wormers, entirely possible I could be banned too, after 20 years of playing. It always begins with the magic words "racism", "homophobia", w/e stuff like that. Before you know it you get banned for "misgendering" some tranny.
Add the option to mute anyone you want in WormNet, problem solved IMO.

usage: /kick nickname

I kinda preferred the way KawooshKick worked where you typed /kick 1 for the first player in the list. Some players may have annoyingly long usernames to have to type over or even have characters not readily available on some keyboards.

I don't even care about a big 3.8 release per se... just release incremental updates, like a 3.7.xxx whatever. Add little fixes and features whenever they are ready. There's no need to stockpile it all and make a huge update

Sorry but that's a bad idea IMO, it would divide the community into different WA versions because this would basically make it impossible for developers to keep their modules up-to-date with every little WA update. Lots of people play RubberWorm games and others also still play PX games, this is already a big mess with PX being stuck with 3.6.31.0, Rubberworm at 3.7.2.1 while the Steam version being on 3.7.2.2 and using RubberWorm with people on different WA versions in some cases drop from the game. I am using these 2 modules as examples but there are many other WK modules that are WA version dependent.

ps: I'm curious does OpenGL renderer mean 24-bit maps can be used in 3.8 or does that have nothing to do with it?

Have to be honest I'm surprised by what I'm reading, I had pretty much given up hope for further WA development. Good to see I was wrong!

The WA community used to be thriving, WormNet used to be riddled with players. I played PX games pretty much exclusively since it came out but with few players on, and only a very small percentage of those having PX, I just kind of stopped trying I guess.

I have no doubt though that someone will develop something awesome for WA some day and get people interested again.

Oh I'm sorry Cyber, I posted here about the problem a while ago and figured nobody cared, guess I didn't think of contacting you directly. Thanks so much for looking at it, it seems to be fixed now!

The PX forum is dead because it's been bugged as f@#! for months now, can't post messages and unfortunately nobody seems to give a flying f@#! about fixing it.

(ps: people found out a workaround that makes it possible to post, you need to select the "Do not automatically parse URLs" checkbox before posting)

Not sure where else I should report this, but I believe Cybershadow is server admin to all the sites under the worms2d.info domain so I guess I'll post it here. The PX forum has been busted for a month now (I believe after a server update or something), it's impossible to post on the forum, trying to make a post shows following PHP error:



[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/includes/functions_content.php on line 696: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is no longer supported, use preg_replace_callback instead



Hopefully someone (Cybershadow?) can fix this so we are able to use the forum again.

That sounds great man, great job, would love to hear the full track!

.1 - What do you use and why?
1920x1080 because that's the native resolution of the monitor and that really is the only way to go. I got a monitor large enough (27") to not have to squint to see the worms (yes I bought my monitor with worms in mind).

.2 - And what screen do you have?
I have a dual setup Samsung S27B750 and Samsung T27B750.

.3 - Do you change res based on the scheme you play?
wot? na

.4 - Do you think size of the screen influences your resolution?
See above.

I just ordered a 55" 4k tv so maybe I'll use that to play WA. 

Nice as a concept, but really only becomes useful when it's usable online.

Since I just finished my map for the PX Golf scheme I thought I'd get people's attention to this amazeballs scheme and set you guys up with everything needed to play this.

It was an almost monumental task to make this map, design a course, test, edit the soil types in the map editor, tweak things, change things, test again, tweak again... Do that 9 times over, and you have half a golf course.


Fore!

Today I decided to become a vegan. Thanks everyone!

Such f@#!ing sad stories jeez holy shit...
