Download Worms! (http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/2247)
and
Visit the website! (http://worms.jalb.dual-servers.com/)

Its not really any similar in gameplay, but it has worms in it. What more could you ask for?

Ah yes, this again. I hope you've improved it since last times.

I'd download and play it if I wasn't just after getting a Wii.

All the code and stuff got too messed up, so I sorta gave up.
Currently, I'm working on a few MMORPGs, with a few people (including the ol' Fhqwgads)

Never tasted Alaskan salmon, so i cant answer you. I do have a hunch that its more of a personal thing, though... :p

some stuff you might want to consider

1. online play
2. game controller support
3. ability to have custom hats, colors, etc.

also, this game might benefit if it were ported to flash
:p

:p

1 is in the works.
2 is pretty useless (everyone has a keyboard, few have controllers, although i do :p)
3 is already in there, so. :p Just gotta look for it!

Porting it to flash? No way, that would take... hours! :p

I downloaded it but I don't find it good. It is difficult to move in this game, everything is messed up and when I play a game it is even worse. The buttons you must press to move and act are difficult to find, and it is difficult to move in landscapes.

OK, you may find it good, but for me it isn't so much. I think this game needs improvement.

Plasma
30 Jul 2007, 22:42
Hmm... well, it's rather good. However, it's much too slow to aim in it, and the individual options are hard to find in the menu. Really hard to find.

The buttons you must press to move and act are difficult to find,
You're able to configure the controls, btw.

I kind of like the game even though I've only played it for about 4 min.
the controlls are weird but I like the skin colour and suits. also I've herd of the weapon "squisher" it sounds nice.

The thing I like most of all is it actually downloaded, most of the downloadable stuff from this site won't download.

Edit: I've been fooling around more and I have a dare for you. I dare you to make a campain mode with unlockables.

You dont lose your stats. Either you can install it at the same location, and let it overwrite all files (The .exe handles all stats and settings, so you dont have to worry about that) or you can install it at a new place, and move over your .ini files.

The next version will be considerably larger, as i have included a soundtrack with three songs, as well as three themes (backgrounds).

It will also have a level editor.

Online play wont show up for quite some time, so you dont have to worry about that just yet. ;)

One more question, how can you pause the game, esc only quites. if there isn't a pause button then thats another thing to add but once again great game if I were to rate it on a scale of 1-5 I would give it a 3.5 and if there is a campain mode and an online play I think it would go up to 4.5 take your time though usually i'm impatient but for some reason I feel very patient with this game.

Shockdude
15 Aug 2007, 15:35
by custom hats, i meant create your own hats...
:p

Mordi
28 Aug 2007, 16:26
I have updated the game with new features:
- Mouse controls and option.
- Added backgrounds and refreshed all graphics.
- Added music.
- Added Level Editor.

Thats the big ones. Lots of small things too.

Metal Alex
2 Sep 2007, 20:48
oh, about this game, I think a hat editor could be nice... I mean, if it's just a single image being rotated, a bmp with a determinated size should work... The thing needed is just load it.

Thats a good idea, but imagine with online play, we'd have to send every pixel to all players, and yes, that would be doable - but imagine if the user made a really huge hat. :p We would need to disallow the player to load a bitmap/png over somethingsomething in size.

I say: A lot of work for little gain (also - most people would make ugly-asshats in paint) I use photoshop. :-/

If you have any hat ideas or otherwise - i'd like to hear them.

I think he's using Game Maker (http://www.yoyogames.com/make). :)

I agree with you.

...Yes, maybe. But i like to make my own levels and not copying others.

I took out the levels because i changed the whole level format itself. Also, those levels had no slopes, the new ones do.

And to confirm: Yes, I use Game Maker 6.1. Fairly limiting, but still easy and fun tool that can make good games - if you got the determination. ;)

Currently working on the online portion - should take some months, so go play Halo 3 in the meantime. kthxbai.

Ok. So there's a new game format. Did you make a new format because of the level editor?

Yeah, lots of months.


so go play Halo 3

W:OW 2 :D

And also, here's a level i did yesterday.

30608

Also, i spotted a glitch with one of my levels (that's why i didn't uploaded it, it was an awesome giant worm :cool:). When i play with that level...

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/2219/omgglicthdv7.png

Looks like it has something to do with the countdown that appears before playing the level ("...Alarm event for alarm 0...").
Weird, uh? I mean, it only happens with that level. Does someone know why?

Hmmm. I think the editor messed up somehow when it decrypted it, maybe. That means its not my fault. :p Ive had some problems with the encryptor I use... Sometimes it goes coocoo.
And yes, i changed the format because of the editor. Before, they were made internal in GM. Now, theyre loaded from text-files.

If you start a match with infinate grenades that is at least I'd say 5 mins long with 10 bots after some time it gets an error like this (btw the weapon set was futuristic, have not tried with any other):

Probably, just update and you'll be fine. Can anyone help me with the level editor? I created the level and it works, but every time I play with bots, they always try to commit suicide, so I tried to block this off, but they just hog the left side of the wall. The strange thing is that the other side of bots get over just fine. Can anyone help me with this?

Also, i'm trying to open the levelpack, but since it's an RAR file, i'm having difficulty opening it and all the levels in it. The rest are fine and fun levels!

yauhui
13 Oct 2007, 13:47
WinRAR (http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar371.exe)?

Ignore the error messages which will appear after some time, when you try to unpack a RAR file. It's like a trial period, only that you can still use it somehow. :cool:

Anyways, i look forward to WORMS! with LAN gameplay function.

No game is fun game without lan!

btw, is it ok if i redistribute this game myself? :p or maybe burn the game to cds and sell them for big bucks and donate all of the money for charity

My new map, inspired by the original Freefall map (which certainly needs a lot of improvements).

In the original Freefall, the AI will sometimes commit suicide by themselves. This is because their spawn area is at the bottom of the map, whereas most of the lifts would be at the top, so they just fall to their death.

My version has undergone much improvements, and is very very cool. It really abides the name "Freefall". Your mission is basically to head to the right side of the map (you start from the left) while going down (the fun is all at the bottom of the map).

At around the middle of the map, you will come across a row of lifts, with large gaps in between. This marks the start of the freefall area. Should you require backup or fear falling to your death, you will come across a fall suspender platform, consisting of three lifts, if you are lucky enough. There are only two of them. If not, be prepared and armed, sometimes you see bazookas flying at you.

Map recommendation:

-------

1 PLAYER MODE:

9 bots (poor)
400% blood
Custom weapon setting (all random, unlimited Frag)

2 PLAYER MODE:

8 bots (poor)
400% blood
Custom weapon setting (all random, unlimited Bomb)

-------

Enjoy! ;)

Shockdude
15 Oct 2007, 21:44
...
my goal was to create a stage where you could fall from a really high up and then shoot people falling down
all the support lifts kind of ruined that concept. besides, it's not like the cpus stay on the lifts for any extended period of time, so they all commit suicide anyways
still, you had a pretty good idea and a pretty good stage
:p

yauhui
16 Oct 2007, 10:33
Freefall 3 Beta

Without lifts, the problem which occurs in Freefall and Freefall 2 is eliminated!

In this beta edition, everything is static. thus, YOU have to go down yourself.

Yes, there is a freefall area, but it is very short. In the full version of Freefall 3, you'll be guaranteed lotsa fun freefalling!

There are two fall suspender platforms and some stairs or so. on the left platform is a health, primary and secondary weapon. on the right is another health, tertiary and special weapon.

the recommendations are a little different compared to the previous Freefall.

Map recommendation:

-------

1 PLAYER MODE:

7 bots
400% blood
Custom weapon setting (all random, unlimited Bomb)

2 PLAYER MODE:

6 bots (poor)
400% blood
Custom weapon setting (all random, unlimited Bomb)

-------


Freefall 3

You meet the lifts again! Longer freefall! Die under the mercy of the cross!

FREEFALL 3 FULL VERSION IS FINALLY HERE!

This new design has a little problem though...

That aside, you start on top of a cross and below you are two platforms with weapons.

You will then freefall by dropping down a small gap. Yes, fall suspender platforms again. But fret not, another looooooooooooooooooooong fall after the platform.

Battle to your death in this version of Freefall!

Battle Tower 2

A real battle "tower"! Climb the stairs and get to the top of the tower. Be armed and prepared to die!

You start at the basement of a tower. Work your way upwards by two methods: the stairs or the jumpee area (with blocks arranged in the shape of "B T 2").

Nice maps Yauhui! Pity the damn CPUs don't work on them :(.

Has anyone noticed that when they go into the game it says at the bottom 'noobs may be encountered during online play.' Does this mean online play is coming soon?

yauhui
18 Oct 2007, 14:11
no, they are just jokes. like "not suitable for ages 7 and up" and "no rights reserved".

although i do hope one is coming soon.

Mordi
19 Oct 2007, 14:53
Hehehe, nice to see some of you actually enjoying the game! Very pleased by that. Also very nice to see you make some nice maps with the editor. Too bad that AI is a bit lame on weird levels.

Online play is being worked on, but we want to make sure that it works properly before we upload it.

By the way, who came up with the "Freefall" concept? Its brilliant. :p
Freefall is the new DotA! :p

Also, if anyone feels like posting the game anywhere else - be my guest (as long as you link to the "yoyogames" game-page, so they get the latest version ;) )

The next version will also have a whole new menu and a lot of new costumes and stuff. Maybe even some weapons.

I've also made a couple of maps!

30813

This is a demo of a level I made. The only problem is that the CPUs often commit suicide, so I made an improved level:

30814

This has changed(slightly) but stops the CPUs from suiciding. Instead they hog the left side of the wall.

Oh well, doesn't matter. Play and rate!:)

I really like some of your levels here. The one with the lifts was actually cool and simple. With rockets you had to aim a bit higher than usual, added a new element to deal with. :)

Shockdude
21 Oct 2007, 18:26
i was bored, and so i remade the freefall level

the overall design was not heavily modified. you still go up on a bunch of lifts and then fall all the way down
however, the width and height of the stage have been increased by 150%
:p

i found a glitch in the level editor
warning: if your run the "glitch" level, the game will freeze and you may have to restart your computer

in the level editor, stack a bunch of barrels
next to the barrel at the top of the tower, place another barrel right next to it so that they touch each other
delete all but the two top barrels at the top of the stack, and then they will float in the air

if you try to run the level, the game will give an error, freeze, and the level will become corrupted

also: if you make a level where a barrel floats in the air by touching a wall, when you run the level, the game will make a distorted explosion noise, freeze, and the level will become corrupted

This is the smallest map size you can do, so it's pretty hectic with a lot of CPUs. If you want to get the special quickly, try 250% gravity.

FREEFALL 5 is here!

And oh, mordi, you'll have to make an official website for Worms! if you want us to advertise.

so far all i have is my own creation, the unofficial website www.worms-game.tk and www.download-worms.tk.

its much much easier to tell others compared to telling them to enter the url www.yoyogames.com/games/launch/2247/ am i right?

Now all i would wish for is for you, mordi, to declare worms-game.tk as "Worms!" official website before I could add them to my signature and include them to every email i send, besides displaying them on my MSN.

Nah, I wouldn't say so. Because the only thing this game has in common with the T17 worms games is the general characters (and even then, not fully), having a name that sounds like it's a fangame of T17's worms doesn't work well.

I really think that savable replays should come first. So lets say i played an interesting round and i want to show to my friend, i'll be stumped.

Like HaK's Unofficial Worms World Cup, I and my friends play a few rounds on one computer and post the recorded game.

But the viewers will not have much viewing freedom as they can only see the player and the bot which killed the player. Thus, if we can save in WORMS! format, viewers are forced to download the game and they will want to play the game themselves! :p

anyhow, i cant wait for a new update with online gameplay/savable replay function.

like the "T", below the first and second horizontal blocks, how do you make that little vertical stick?

and how did you make the curved "T" shape???

10 Nov 2007, 09:36
easy, i just found out how to do it.

when building the block, press the left key on your keyboard to make it smaller and right key to make it bigger horizontally. press up to make it bigger and down to make it smaller vertically.

rotate the blocks using your mouse wheel. thats how i did it.

but i still cant seem to find out how did sercat produce that marvelous and ingenious map! its simply amazing! i can never make it :p

Easier than you think.
1)You have already guessed that you rotated the blocks :cool:

4)Repeat the steps, but every time change the angle of rotation

P.S. Do you want a map dedicated to you? If yes, say for what types of matches.

@ Mordi - You could update mapping tools. Add something like scenary options. (Trees, bushes)
Can you make lifts not to stuck?
And how did you made big land blocks on your maps?


I am going to add more stuff to make more advanced maps

While you're at it, try making multiple spawn points. Maybe some worm will spawn here and some spawn there... and maybe put seperate spawn points (one for only AI, one for Players and one for both) if i could do that, then my DotA map will be complete.

Yes, thank you for reminding me. I was thinking about adding *real* spawnpoints, instead of the "team-spawn-zone". In version 1-7, everyone spawn in a random location at the top of the room.

Actually, adding spawnpoints would greatly increase the potential for maps acting like gametypes. Like DotA.
Btw:
I played an enfo-map in WC3 some weeks ago, and that was very fun. Much better than DotA. Enfo-maps would be possible if i added spawnpoints.

i made another level
as with explosive zone, in this level i again abuse barrels
only this time nearly the entire landscape is made of barrels

the level has some flaws, but i'm too lazy to fix them until later

best played with weaker weapons (all plasmarifles works great)

the screenshot is not photoshopped
rather, the game was hacked modified by one of the programmers of the game (bald eagle 636), and so he played the modified game for a while and then took that screenshot

also, i have two new versions of barrel towers (one was a very unfortunate typo)

Im doing it in quite the simple and maybe a bit original way. Its not very common, due to its nature of not working. :p Its basically just a point that moves around that the worms try to move to. Whenever they are in clear view of an enemy, they will try to shoot at the enemy.

Designing AI is both my curse (I spend too much time on it:() and my gift (I spend too much time on it :)).

The secret of all AI is detectors. Unless your game is designed for performance, you can never have enough. Have one for everything. If you're having trouble making your character jump over a box for pathfinding, there are a number of ways to do it.

1) If the size of the box is predetermined (i.e the map makers cannot change it) then you can just place a detector a few meters in front where you know if they jump at that time, they'll make it over.

2) If the size of the box is not predetermined (i.e the map makers can change it) then it gets a little bit more complicated. You can do it with math, or with simple collision testing:
2A) Measure how high your AI can jump. Measure the -Y of the box. Then base events on whether he's going to jump over it, or turn around.
2B) If the box is on straight ground (otherwise, it's going to get slightly more complicated, but not too much) you can place a detector at the highest point of the jump and test for no collision.

Those are just some basic obstacles in pathfinding. It gets easier with practice, trust me. Pathfinding is difficult without being unfair to the player, but if you can design it in a way that the computer stores variables on certain locations (Very complicated. Made to simulate memory) it may be a little bit easier. But all-in-all, making AI is an art. An art that makes you go suicidal. :p

TeDdywoRm

You mean slow as in "choppy" right? Runs fine here, and it will run a lot better when online mode is playable, since the bots are CPU hogs. If it still lags, go to options - set graphics to "low".

Sure, I could use some good sprites, but it would be hard for anyone other than me because:

Sorted. Its a bit faster now. The game is good! its still slow, but i think its supposed to be slow, because its like some kind of air combat game.

Snowy Lands (http://willhostforfood.com/?Action=download&fileid=20967)

Also, go easy, they are the first maps i've created in this game.

Also, too anyone who is finding the game slow, take it off full screen mode. Because when i took it off full screen mode, it was as fast as anything.

It still has its times when its slow, but its much better now.

I love this game. The weapons are great, its just.... cool. The only thing that annoys me is the continous errors when creating a landscape. But apart from that, its great.
