You can? I didn't know...

I don't have W:A, only WWP and you can't there. To get the superweapons in WWP you need to add three wormpots: Extra Powerful Firearms, Double Damage, Super Rope

At first, thank you for your answer! It makes me glad to know that a few suggestions given by me are going to be put into practice. I hope you will be able to program all the features which you wish to implement.

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

Disabling V-Sync of most graphics cards makes 3D games run much faster. Sometimes they become even 50+ % faster (frames per second). Therefore I disabled V-Sync. If you can't fix this bug, it's not too much a problem because this bug only occurs in the menues and not during the game.

Sure, you get a higher "frames per second" figure. But you won't get smoother motion on-screen, because the extra updates will never be drawn. Disabling V-Sync is only something you should do if you want to numerically test the capability of your video hardware.

Just one suggestion here DC, and one i don't think should be too hard to implement. Can you please, please, PLEEEEAAASE get rid of that fall distance which is just enough to do damage but isn't quite enough to bring the parachute out? I'm fed up of being anally violated by it.

What your talking about is disabling something because you dont like it when it happens to you? (i bet u'd like it if it happend to someone else!) OK its annoying when it happens, but its still a question of skill. If you've fallen off the rope at such a distance, then its hl/bl really isnt it.

Oh & too redwraith - W:A Isnt 3D. Incase u didint notice :P (i think it also has a frame limit of its own)

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.

Yes, it's a question of skill, the more skillful people manage to not fall that distance when they accidentally slide off a cliff or hit a wall .

The point is that people put the parachute in the scheme because they want everyone in the game to be able to use it to save themselves if they fall off the rope, therefore this should happen in all cases. If you see it differently, ie that people who are not skillful enough (or who don't slow down a bit to rope safely enough) should suffer from their mistakes, then you have the option to take the parachute out of the scheme.

How many people in here tried to rope-knock someone off that bottom-middle ledge in dOgMa's City Shopper 2002 to create a nice pile ripe for a HHG, and ended up in the pile yourself because of this glitch? You all understand what i mean...

[Before anyone starts, don't even bother with that rope knocking argument again. It's off topic, and already been had]

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. :-)

---

Awesome, if I think of anything else I'll post about it.

I think you misunderstood him Deadcode. What he is talking about is, there is a certain distance where if you fall off a cliff with chute activated, you hit the ground a milisecond before your chute activates therefore you lose your turn. And if the distance was any shorter, you would have just fallen on the ground and not lost your turn. I think its a part of the game that you just have to avoid even though it has happened to me countless times in maps.

Deadcode, I have a few easy suggestions. On the map screen, do you think you could put in a button to click for a WaterDrop? It would be a hell of a lot easier just to press it instead of guessing the water level.

Also how you talked about set rules. I think it is a good idea, but one person mentioned that the person in last place should be invincible to an attack lets say in a shopper but if you hit a person and that worm triggers a mine near a last place worm, I still think the last place worm should be hit, because it was indirect.

Edit: hey deadcode, you said you played under an alias? Did you ever happen to play me? Im curious....

Indeed, I was talking about the rope too. Like if your rope knocking someone, but you can even try it without rope knocking someone and it will happen. I know for sure you are not hitting the worm thats ending your turn and not letting your chute come out. It happens even when you are not knocking a worm with the rope. You can test this by going off one certain cliff with the rope, but not knocking anyone, on dogmas city shopping map and your chute wont activate and you will lose the turn. Because it is the perfect distance. the PERFECT distance, dun dun DUN

btw: what did you think of my wd and set rules idea, not if you already knew about that...

Deadcode... there is such a distance...

If you slide off something... there is a fall distance at which you will take 1 or 2 damage... but the chute will not open. I call it the One Damage Factor... quite annoying =)

And as soon as I mention the first thing about piracy... I get banned from the forum for a good week... Keeper just admitted that he pirated W:A and Joe just offered to help him but does anything happen to them?

Edit: Just realized there was a 7th page, heh =)

Still I payed for it and i'm gonna get the most out of it!!!

If that really is the truth, I suggest going after the bastard who sold it to you, then buying a legitimate copy. We don't support illegitimate versions of the game here.

Ok, you were quite right about it. The fall damage threshold was lower than the chute threshold. However, a worm that simply jumped or walked off a cliff would not experience this effrontery, because it would only become vulnerable to fall damage when passing the chute threshold without chuting. This explains why you could never get less than 3 points of fall damage from a direct, non-rope fall.

I had a choice between changing the chute threshold to match the damage threshold, or vice versa. I chose the latter, because the higher threshold occurs in many places and the lower one occurs in just one place. The upshot of this is that sliding off that dogma cliff now doesn't require a chute.

And I agree with you all the way zippeurfou :-) The change I just made makes it simpler, actually.

---

Thank you .

So chute opens faster now? Aww.... you should have changed the damage threshold... because now I won't be able to do chute flares (silkworm-like effect) =(
