I have some questions about tweaking, but first I read this:

So, in short, Team17 don't mind (to some extent) tweaking the game, but KEEP THE TWEAKS OFFLINE

But as I don't understand some words in English, what does that mean?
-Don't play on WormNet with hacked WeapTwk.xml?
-Don't distribute hacked WeapTwk.xml on Internet?
-Don't speak about tweaking on this forum?

I wanted to make a PipeGun weapon, that's why I asked a question about this weapon some days ago, but first I want to know if it's legal, and if I can ask questions about tweaking here...

If I'm not allowed to speak about that here, please close this thread, and sorry...

Mainly, do not play on WormNet with your hacks. It will cause crashes which Team17 don't like.

Team17 probably don't like you distributing tweaks on the internet, since someone will try and play with it online and mess up the game.

Discussing tweaks on the forum is a bit of a grey area though - basic modifications like making the sentry gun fire continuously all the time are probably OK to chat about here (as long as you do not use the tweaks on WormNet), but discussing more serious hacks that could have potential legal issues (like playing the game without the DVD) are strictly against forum rules. Generally, we don't like the actual hack to be posted here.

OK, I think my question is not about something very important. I bought the game legally, so I don't have anything to reproach myself :D

So, I just want to know where I can find a list of all GraphicResourceIDs, like Bazooka.Payload, Bazooka.Weapon, etc.... I search for something like PipeGun.Weapon :rolleyes: ... you know why...

Actually I made funny weapons, like a big grenade that explodes exactly 2 minutes after you launched it, or a hammer that bounces on the land, making small holes, or a cluster bomb that makes a beautiful bazooka rain :p

And I would like to build a program like Fiddler, which allows to create weapons, like for WA. :)

I really need more details and information to make such a program, nobody knows how to get all GraphicResourceIDs? :eek:

No! The Weapon Factory is too limited, I'm not stupid!
I meant directly editing the bazooka, grenade, airstrike, sheep, etc...

You know how to make programs?

You should make a giant holy hand grenade that explodes into a bunch of normal ones :p

that may be too much... but could be quite fun :)

try a small fatkins like the hammer doing small holes, but growing up with every ground touch (eat dirt! literaly!), and making the explosins bigger and bigger...

I would like to try those things you already said offline, though...

I cant see how you could do this without making many types of hammers.

I don't know... I never tweaked... but if there is a command to increase the size... on a % maybe...

Hey! I just said try! :(

I can make a giant or a tiny hammer, but I can't make it grow. :(
