Deadcode, being able to pause a game would be a nice feature for league games. Being able to save an offline game would be great too

Pause is another controversial thing about which many ideas have been thrown around (such as a per-game and/or per-player allowance of pause time and number of pauses)... As for games, they are ALL saved, online LAN, Wormnet, offline mission, training, deathmatch, quick CPU.

quoted :: TonY
And one question if you don't mind. Will the color levels have the same amount of colors as colored maps do now?

Precisely as much color as before (64 colors plus 1 black). There's a way I could boost it to 96 colors, by allowing one to use custom soil textures (what appears when land is blown away) but that's not a priority as of now.

quoted :: TonY
By the way, are you a fan of RR? (couldn't stop myself from asking, I remember you were quite the T17'er, even though you never talked when we played)

Well, T17 is my favorite (and BR is my first love, having prepared me in ways for T17ing) but before I got into T17s, I did go on a big roping stint for a while. I have a sort of love/hate relationship with the rope. Sometimes I'm right on the ball, and rope rather well... sometimes I make tons of mistakes and feel like a n00b. (Incidentally, this correlates rather well with whether I'm in the mood to rope or not. Whether that's a cause or effect is up to debate.

) But I'm almost always in the mood to play a T17 or something like it.

Hello, here's Bloopy just checking in. You say you've fixed gameplay bugs, so you've probably fixed the one where crates/oil drums/donor cards get stuck at the water drops level, usually after an earthquake... I was just thinking about that. I like the suggestions for more options with jetpack fuel and mine fuse, and vertical maps. Loading a random saved level sounds good too.

Also TonY's suggestion about Worms 2 water sprites reminded me of something... with bungee in WA your worm never goes upside down when the bungee does, your worm sticks off the end of the bungee at a strange angle. But in W2 the sprites are different, your worm is always at the correct angle on the bungee, even if you're bungeeing upside down. Maybe the WA bungeeing worm could be corrected to look like the W2 one.

Thank you very very much. I've seen that bug before, but only two or three times and those were very early in my Worming days. I was never able to recreate it. I didn't know it had anything to do with quakes... I will look into that now...

There is no planned WWP patch. Instead, we plan on making patched WA work with the WWP CD-ROM.

If the plan is carried out, this will mean the patch will be able to turn WWP into WA in most respects... this doesn't mean you'll see it in Beta 3 necessarily, but in a future patch.

Yeah it's not very often you have water drops and shake a crate or drum to the floor with a quake. You'd be more likely to see a donor card get stuck, though I'm not 100% certain about them.

As for the bungee sprites, well I was hugely surprised to find that they were more complete in the older game, I tried bungee racing on W2 for the first time in Nov.

Seperate sprites were made up for the red, yellow, light-blue and purple watertypes but these were omitted from WWP and later builds of WA (i.e. the US version, pre-patched UK version, Hasbro and Sold Out re-releases, etc.).

Because it where no one that used them in W2, while if it would be brought to WA it would be the same deal, so why bother with the water colour, it doesn't fill more then a tiny bit of variation to it.

It's noticed more this time around, for the most time on th 2-d ones, it where pretty low, now you can look around and it's water everywhere, so it where probably therefore they took and changed it again.

Best idea I've read in the whole thread. In fact, if it's possible, I would recmmend the following further changes (if not, Vercetti's suggestion could do a lot of good):

- Have Wormnet determine the IP address of the connecting computer

side note: in Unix TCP sockets this would be inet_ntoa(cli_addr.sin_addr) for the human-readable string, where cli_addr is the struct sockaddr from accept().

- Have the client listen briefly on TCP port 17011 while Wormnet runs a test connection

- Now, if the client receives whatever inquiry from Wormnet, have it report that it is able to host.

Thus Wormnet and the client can be sure whether or not this person should be able to successfully host, and there will be fewer explanations and less work required for the people who want to host through routers.

Actually they were included with WA but never used. They were wasted space, so they were removed from later builds. Such is life.

haven't used that BaP program in a month or two. I really dont see the point of closing it up, since it really cant do anything bad .....That is to say i didn't use it to do anything bad...

of course :roll: just saw you used it like one month ago or less.., hi everyone light..hi, you speak under my nickname in the game, hi I use all color posssible or all this useless things.

I didn't understand everything (french and too lazy :P) but if i've though a button near the nickname of everybody saying if they are able to host or not would be not that bad.

Well btw, just a suggestion don't take it care if you have too much work (and you have! lol)
I want to say it's my last post asking something because he has much work and I really thank you from the bottom of my heart (french expression maybe not understable for english)

Deadcode, being able to pause a game would be a nice feature for league games.

It's turn-based, what more do you want?

If you need the toilet, you're either unprepared and deserve it, or you can damn well time it to when it's not your go.

Ability to pause would lead to unwanted abuse, i suspect. People get bored enough when the timer ticks down and the player is doing nothing. If the timer didn't even tick down, people would feel themselves growing old.

Ok Bloopy, I've looked into both of these things... here is my answer...

quoted :: bloopy
Hello, here's Bloopy just checking in. You say you've fixed gameplay bugs, so you've probably fixed the one where crates/oil drums/donor cards get stuck at the water drops level, usually after an earthquake... I was just thinking about that.

It is fixed now! The problem was that oil drums and crates had more height below the center than any other object, so their centers never got deep enough to stop bouncing off the land, if the water level was just right (or just wrong, depending on how you look at it).

quoted :: bloopy
Also TonY's suggestion about Worms 2 water sprites reminded me of something... with bungee in WA your worm never goes upside down when the bungee does, your worm sticks off the end of the bungee at a strange angle. But in W2 the sprites are different, your worm is always at the correct angle on the bungee, even if you're bungeeing upside down. Maybe the WA bungeeing worm could be corrected to look like the W2 one.

I just realized what was going on here. In WA, some redundancies were eliminated, like backwards animations that are otherwise exactly the same as their forwards counterparts. I'll bet someone was planning to eliminate further redundancy -- rotations of sprites that could be reproduced by 90 degree rotations of a smaller set of frames. But they didn't get around to implementing it in the code. So, I'll implement it in the code. :-)

for deadcode

okay deadcode, you seem to be a well respected individual aroud this part of the internet. so I would like to bounce this off of you.

1.) is there any definitave way i can find out exactly what version of worm i have. i'm sure there is a .DLL that comes with revamped versions and/or patched versions of this program. Because I am the second owner of the program i know damn near nothing about it. From the posts i've rtead i have gatherd that I own an unpatched "first edition" however, popular tricks like the "girder anywhere" cheat does NOT work for me. the newer versions of W:A use only one color water (blue) as does mine but the .bmp files are in the worms directory for yellow water, green water, and another color i am unsure of right now.

I downloaded the patch and executed it... well it messed up everything pretty good. luckily i had backed up all my worms data into a new directory. After the patch was ran i recieved an error about not inserting the CD (which i do not have). Futhermore, I am unable to access wormnet, and that above all is really p**sing me off.
________________________________________________

Let me say now that your proposed ideas for the beta 3 patch sound really good thus far, i would like to see a few things my self:

[quote=MY IDEAS]
Since pausing seems to be a big thing how about a pause with a 2minute time out feature. that way host can not con their guest into quiting so they get all the pionts.

a way to use invisibility when playing in one player deathmatch mode.

a way to set the number or "superweapons" that fall duing play. (i love that concrete donkey, ming vase, french sheep strike, mikes carpet bomb, nuclear test, earthquake, armegedon, and patsey's magic bullit; thought the mail strike and the MB Bomb need a little help.)

[/ quote]____________________________________________
_____
Back to the problem:

I'll do anything to get into wormnet, no mater what it takes. ..(except buy a copy of a game i already own) Is there any know way to get my self into wormnet and functioning properly?

Keeper,

Put your mouse over the W:A logo on the main menu screen to find out what version you have.

An AFK feature that skips your turn for you would be nice... it'd eliminate the need for pauses.

Firstly - How could you play without a CD? Did you have the Demo version, perhaps? And you're saying you're unable to access Wormnet, but I imagine you couldn't access it before either, correct me if I'm wrong...

I really don't understand that second sentence. However I already have plenty of ideas on how pausing should be implemented if ever -- it would involve an allowance of time and/or number of pauses, per-player and/or per-game.

quoted :: Keeper

Deathmatch needs a heck of a lot more than just invisibility. It needs an AI that can use weapons beyond its very limited set, can rope, etc... but this would be very hard to implement and AFAIK most people only play online anyway...

I see, my suggestions are all crap because you don't want to comment them, deadcode. Sorry for wasting your time.

Cya

redwraith, you gave me so many suggestions that they were kind of overwhelming. At the time I didn't feel like answering them, but I made a plan to do so later, ok? :-) And now is as good a time as any.

1. The automatic girders -- yeah, I've thought about that. But it's more complicated than just turning them off -- with them off, worms can potentially be dropped straight into the water during auto placement. I'd have to restructure the auto placement routine.

2. Exemplars in a crate -- yes, I think that's important too. But I need to plan a good new standard scheme format that will accomodate these kinds of extras gracefully.

3. No. Booby-trapped crates were crap, everyone agreed on that.

4. Scrollablle chat window -- yes, this is something I've wanted to do for quite some time, as well as adding copy/paste ability to it.

5. Can't until the server source code is handed to me.

6,7. Back to game lobby -- Yes, that'd be extremely helpful... can't tell you how many times I've asked everyone to surrender, which still doesn't work sometimes because there are extra rounds... so yeah, as long as it can be done in a way that can't be abused, I'll do it

8. CPU players online - Only when they can be clearly identified as such, which will require restructuring the player list -- which is something I need to do anyhow for certain reasons, so you'll probably see this added

9. Sure. I'd also like to add a feature where you can playback a recording online, and take over at a certain point -- seeing "what would happen if?"

10. covered elsewhere in this thread

11. Yes, I'd like to do this too... I'll look into it at some point

12. see #5

13. Mission editor - Yes, agreed, something to look into at some point maybe

14. Yes, I'm quite aware of this... my solution will probably be to remove it completely from that screen.

15. Um... why not just enable V-Sync?

It would have been neat if you had ALL the weapons accessable without having to use a scheme editor.

At the time, I thought it would be obvious you'd need full wormage to be able to access those weapons...

I meant so you could set the ammo, delay, appearance in crates, power, etc.

In Beta 2, you can set ammo and delay for superweapons if you've got Full Wormage. You cannot set their crate probability yet.
