Since I've seen some of the same questions popping up I thought this would be a good idea. If you wish to contribute any questions you feel are asked very frequently, please do so. Please DO NOT spam this thread. This thread is for frequently asked questions, not comments. This is meant to be helpful.

When I get the girder on "Plaice Holder" I can't move!
- You need to press the 'Jump' button to get rid of the girder. On the computer version this is 'Backspace', on the Xbox version it is 'Y', on the PS2 it is /\...not sure what it is for GC.

I can't complete the "Driving Range" Tutorial
- You can't complete this level. It is there so you can practice your weapon skills

Why has the Xbox Version been delayed?
- It has been delayed because Team17 are implementing Xbox Live. This will take some time to do so the deadline is later than the other versions. For up to date release date information look at http://worms3d.com/support.html?area=faqs#usea - not at retailers' sites which just guess until they hear a date.

Why has the Xbox Live Version been delayed AGAIN?
- It hasn't. Retailers keep changing the dates on their sites when they get too near to seem credible. No release date has (as yet) been announced for W3D Special Edition, regardless of anything retailers may have to say to the contrary.

Why has the Xbox Live Version been delayed AGAIN?
- Acclaim went bankrupt. Team17 are looking into finding another publisher. I fully expect any new information will be posted around here somewhere and then a few months after that someone will update this thread.

::Edit::

Also DO NOT post any step by step guides for any missions, people who don't want to see them shouldn't have to.

Double Post Edit:

Why have some weapons been taken out of Worms 3D?
- Some weapons, for example the minigun, have been taken out because they were similar to another weapon (The Minigun is similar to the Uzi). Other weapons have been taken out because they were too destructive with the new dimension (eg. Armageddon). And others have been taken out due to problems with the camera (eg. Blowtorch)

For information about the weapons included in the game, I have a page on my website showing all the weapons in Worms 3D and a list of all the weapons not included in it: http://www.blamethepixel.com/starworms/confirmweaps.php

I think another question asked to much is:
How is the medal you get determined.
May i remind everyone that it is PURLY time based, nothing to do with the amount of goes you have.
thank you

Can I suggest before this thread gets too large that instead of filling the thread with several posts with one question each, you just edit a previous post if you're only adding one or two, and that the thread isn't filled with lots of strange fringe questions like "Will there be a Worms Tetris?" that you're sure someone asked once but you're not sure? Good.

Will the PC version be able to play online against the Mac version or the X-Box version?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: X-Box Live is a closed system and nothing except an X-Box can play against an X-Box. The Mac version and PC version could in theory have been designed to play together, but this would have delayed the Mac version and the first PC patch would have stopped it working, so the Mac version was never designed to communicate with the PC version.

How do I unlock the Full Wormage?
You don't. There is no Full Wormage mode in Worms 3D.

Will Team17 be continuing to develop the 2D series?
It seems unlikely that any publisher will ever give a 2D game a second glance again, which is bad for the gamers, but good for the publishers because a lot of gamers at the moment would laugh at it too. It's a safe bet that there will be no more commercially released 2D Worms games, but the current series of beta patches Deadcode is working on hold some promise. Look in the W:A forum. (Edit: PC games, anyway -- of course XBLA and Wii have 2D Worms games now.)

How does Worms decide what medal to award you after a mission?
The medal colour is determined entirely by the time you took to complete the mission.

How do I complete/get gold on mission X
First, find the name of the mission. Then search the forum for that. The search button is at the top of every page. Almost all the missions have been dissected on the forum somewhere, so if you can't find the one you're looking for, either it's so easy nobody else has ever asked for help or you need practice using the search. Watch out: some missions names aren't quite the same in all languages, so ideally you'll want the English name.

Hey you left out the button for the PS2 which would remove the girder and allow you to move, It's the Triangle button.

Will the PC version be able to play online against the Mac version or the X-Box version?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: X-Box Live is a closed system and nothing except an X-Box can play against an X-Box. The Mac version and PC version could in theory have been designed to play together, but this would have delayed the Mac version and the first PC patch would have stopped it working, so the Mac version was never designed to communicate with the PC version.


Even longer answer: The XBox Live network is a closed system (as has already been said). The PC versions use GameSpy, while the Mac versions will use GameRanger. Because of the two different systems (as explained in AT's post), it is physically impossible for macs to play PC's

How do I unlock the Full Wormage?
You don't. There is no Full Wormage mode in Worms 3D.that a short answer, the long one being the full wormage can be accesed, but only through downloadiong hacks, and 100% savegames too, but i dont recomend it, the bottom line is, its cheating.

How do I drop dynamite from the jetpack?
Once you've activated the jetpack (press fire), select a new weapon from the menu, then press backspace [pc], / \ [ps2], or Y [xbox & gamecube].

Not sure on the last two. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

how do i use binoculars?

its probably best not too, they can be used for sniping by aiming and then selecting shotgun, but to tell the truth it has never worked for me.

After accomplishing the Alien Juice Suckers mission, i can't move on to the next one. Why?
AJS is the last mission in the game. There are only 35 missions


How can i move the camera while in Blimp view?
You can move around in Blimp view with the mouse while holding the Middle mouse button or Ctrl


How can i redefine the ingame controls?
You can't. There isn't a such feature in the game


Where can i find W3D cheats?
Nowhere. They don't exist

What is the "Advanced" field in the launcher window for?
It can be used to activate some advanced options by entering commands. Below is a full list of supported commands:


Function| Command

Run windowed| /WIN
Resolution screen width| /W <pixel width>
Resolution screen height| /H <pixel height>
Software keyboard| /KEY
Music enable| /MUSIC
Music disable| /NOMUSIC
Movie disable| /NOMOVIES
Voice disable| /SHUTUP
HUD disable| /NOHUD
FPS mouse invert| /INVERTMOUSEFP
3PS mouse invert| /INVERTMOUSETP


You can also find this list in the readme file in your Worms3D directory

There are also a number of "secret" commands which can be entered into the "advanced" field. The only one I remember is /1337, which makes all worms upside-down. There is a thread somewhere with a full list. If anyone knows the url, please link to it here.

I'm stuck on a mission, are there any guides to help me complete it?
- If you're really stuck then I suggest that you go here: http://www.starworms.blamethepixel.com/walkthrough.php It contains information about what each mission unlocks and there's a walkthrough for every mission!

I have an idea for how to make Worms 3D better. Where should I post it?
No new weapons / schemes etc. are going to be included in W3D now that it has been released, or in Worms: Forts Under Siege. However, if you have ideas for future Worms games, the best place to post it is either the Suggestions board of the Worms 3D forum or (for weapon and utility ideas) the Make-A-Weapon thread on the Worms 3D Strategy / Weapons board.

There are some maps in missions/trainings which can't be unlocked,but I want them.Is there some way to get them?
Officially,there isn't any way to get them.Unofficially,you can do it,but it needs some messing and I'm not quite sure it would be good idea to post it there.

Where is the save game file?
Go to your Worms3D folder and in 'Data' folder there's savegame.xom file.Copy it somewhere,and if you'll replace empty save game(I mean,just after reinstalling the game)things which you've unlocked and your teams should be back.

How to make new flags or graves for Worms3D?
This is impossible in Worms3D.Both flags and graves.

Is it possible to change my team name after creating it?
Again-officially-no,unofficially-yes.But it needs even more messing that getting additional maps and I'm not quite sure how to do it:p.

And probably most often asked question...

I've completed all missions,trainings and challenges with gold medals,and I still have a few percents of the game to unlock.How to unlock them?
You have to unlock the easter eggs.You can find out how to unlock them in Star Worms' mission guide.Link to it is few posts above.

Is it possible to make custom speechbanks for Worms3D?
Yes, if you have at least v1.073 (USA version, or European/Australian with Service Patch 2). This feature is 'not supported' by Team17, so you won't find any official documentation on it. I have placed some unofficial instructions for making Worms3D soundbanks on my worms site here: Bloopy's Worms Page - FAQ (http://bloopy.topcities.com/worms/faq.html#msc_bank) (currently down, check back later).

when i try to install the game on my new comp (vista), it get to about half way then asks for disk 2! i have and only ever had 1 disk so whats gives?

Im using worms 3d on a laptop, and it seems that i have no directional buttons to move my worm. I can just turn him around. i can jump by using the middle mouse button but i can move him. How do i get him to move? :) I didnt know where else to put this question,, Thanks :)

You can move your worms with the "W, A, S, D" keys on your keyboard.

Your laptop does feature a keyboard, doesn't it?

Yup it does, it has a full keyboard but for some reason the directional buttons arent for that lol ,,, thanks ill try that :)

If you haven't got a manual, there should be a pdf file on the CD. Additionally, you can look for the keyboard controls in-game by checking the options menu, if I remember correctly :p

If you haven't already noticed, this is a Worms 3D FAQ.

EDIT: Nevermind.
