Im kinda getting ticked off that Batty Ropes for W:A is not out yet. If you do not know what Batty ropes is, you should really look into it. I understand only 5 people that should have it, do. And some people have it that shouldnt. If DeadCode wanted it to be private, why did he release it at all?

Also, i know a lot of other people have been waiting for this patch and forgot about it. But i kant forget about it, its stuck in the back of my head. If he didnt/doesnt want people bugging him about it, why doesnt he just release it already?

If you know of the whereabouts of where the patch may be, or if you know if DC has set a release date for it, Please inform in this thread, otherwise, preach your account and tell your stories about Batty Ropes.

why did he release it at all?
testing purposes maybe?

there are -->some threads (http://forum.team17.co.uk/search.php?searchid=204424) if you search for "batty ropes"! they provide some useful info!
batty ropes are obviously going to be released in one of the beta patches!

m3ntal made a -->video (http://katbox.iconrate.com/random/MidAirKami.avi), which shows some fun stuff!

If you know of the whereabouts of where the patch may be

I doubt anyone who DC put his trust in is going to tell you where to get the patch.

And some people have it that shouldnt.

Can you name a single person?

I don't think you can.

The reason he hasn't released it is probably that it isn't secure, and people could hack it in to games where they weren't supposed to. So they could be having 'batty ropes' while everyone else didn't.
Sort of the like the 'medals' feature, that was enabled but wasn't secure, and it was so exploited that it ended just having to be disabled. It would be even worse with batty ropes, and people hacking their game to have batty ropes in all games.

I assume it's not being released because of problems with balancing, or making it an 'option' within the game (at the moment, it could very well be in the form of an entirely different .exe, in which batty ropes is always enabled)

Can you name a single person?
i only know m3ntal has it!
and you, tony, iirc!

I'm fairly certain that Sarge has it as well.

Yeah thats cause DV can trust Sarge and Mental to not let it seep out. Im sure they wouldnt have any intentions of ruining WA/WN like some other people may have.

I'm fairly certain that Sarge has it as well.

I have it lying about somewhere. I think. I'm not 100% sure, I have loads of stuff I never use. Like my custom WA 3.6.24.2 that has a "/crash" command for testing purposes, so I can crash WA. Crazy stuff.

Batty Ropes will be in eventually. Deadcode has more important things to work on at the moment though. Give him some time, be patient, and you shall receive. :)

Hang on. Are we talking a command line switch, or an in-game chat command?

a "/crash" command
i wanna have that one!
i'm not recieving enough crashes & bluescreen since i changed to win2k & winxp 4 years ago! :D

Hang on. Are we talking a command line switch, or an in-game chat command?

I have a seperate executable, and when I run it I can use /crash in the chat to crash. Deadcode made it so I could test something, I forget what.

He was having you on. He was just seeing what he could get you to do.

And yes, TonY, i do know of one person that i played with, llAngerll. she told me that megaworms, mental, annelid, and someone else but i cant name them off the top of my head. you can see the recording of where she tells me if you'd like, i could get it to you. lemme know.

Deadcode gave her Batty Ropes. Not a single person has it that isn't supposed to have it.

What exactly does batty ropes do?

Thanks

Here you are.

He was having you on. He was just seeing what he could get you to do.

Naah, I think it was when I managed to crash the game via the use of a cow. There was the crash issue, but there was another issue - I think the replays were messed up (and not just because it crashed), and so he wanted to test me crashing. Run was there too. Filthy Run.

Just when i was winning, too!!!*







*dirty lie

Wait a minute, i saw a replay once where someone said there was a bug where they stayed on their rope after there turn! That must have been batte ropes! :eek:

yeah someone played that trick on the cl2k forums as far as I remember.

nah, it was on these forums, and they posted a replay!

yeah im just saying that that person did it on both forums, lol.

Neh? That never happened on Cl2K? Nobody played any tricks... everybody knew about Batty.

Neh? That never happened on Cl2K? Nobody played any tricks... everybody knew about Batty.

I think somebody did it when Batty was quite new, and it confused people for a bit... not sure though.

yep Sarge.
Remember tony when someone posted it and it was a bunch of worms that spelled out "l-l/-\x3D". Please tell me im not dreaming. Im sure im not dreaming.

Oh yeah! Now I remember!

I think it was a little stunt Dextah pulled.. H4X.. at least he's the only one I remember wearing that tag.

If you know of the whereabouts of where the patch may be, or if you know if DC has set a release date for it, Please inform in this thread, otherwise, preach your account and tell your stories about Batty Ropes.Basically, there are still a fair few bugs in it, and he has more important stuff to do first like fixing the bugs already in the game before sorting out the bugs in Battyrope so it can be released. Just look down the list of posts in the patch support forum to see all the bugs he still has to fix first.

I get the impression that Battyrope will be released in patch 3.7.0.0, and it will also have a load of other new stuff that me and Sarge have been testing lately, plus some stuff Deadcode hasn't even put in yet that is planned. I have no idea when this will happen though, sorry.

Does anyone know of any replayse of this?

There are replays, but I think its a different .exe, and not that i know much about this whatsoever, but I dont think your Worms would be able to play their replays.

The replays work fine, because all patches released since Battyrope was made emulate it, just like they emulate older patch versions if someone in your game hasn't updated.

You'll need 3.6.24.2 for this:

Howd you shoot your rope down?

I've been wondering about that too, oh and thanks for the replay :)

Howd you shoot your rope down?It's an old bug from W:A v1.0 that Deadcode is thinking about re-enabling as a scheme option. You have to select another weapon, aim it downwards, jump, then select and fire rope whilst jumping.

I'd say if you enable that kind of thing, why not just let the rope point straight down without a trick? Seems fairer. Worms isn't the place for long keycodes, fighting games are.

It's an old bug from W:A v1.0 that Deadcode is thinking about re-enabling as a scheme option.

I have a somewhat simpler solution (i believe)

How about the power setting 5 allows down-ward shooting? (contrary to power setting one - which restricts to 45)
Then the current 5-setting can replace the 4-setting, etc etc, and one of the settings can be removed. People hardly use, for example, setting 4, anyway.

Hmm, well i just want to be able to shott downwards with a rope lol :D Oh and that would be a good idea :)

Yeah that sounds like a wicked idea.
Worms 2 people would like that too id say.

it would be cool if deadcode would release some testing versions that dont work online, the exe would need a restore function though (to restore the previous version, and to be able to play online)

Question:

In theory, if someone with the Batty Ropes EXE file went online and played someone with the latest beta, would the newer beta emulate the older Batty Ropes build like it does when you play a replay of Batty Ropes? That would be a nice way to show people the idea without having to distribute buggy alternate builds all over the place.

Yes, that works.

The latest beta also emulates the extra stuff in the patch me and Sarge have been messing with recently as well.

I played a match with Batty Ropes on Wormnet recently, and the newer beta just emulated version 3.0.5 (I might have gotten a few of the numbers switched around) and said it was emulating it to play the Batty Ropes patch.

Oh yeah! Now I remember!

I think it was a little stunt Dextah pulled.. H4X.. at least he's the only one I remember wearing that tag.
Wasn't even dex's idea :-p, it was all of us. Spelling HAX was my idea (only word we could think of with all straight lines for the ropes). Dimsum was the one who had batty out of the group. All came about after messing around on teamspeak, which was excellent fun.

Me, him, sneak, dimsum, oijogja and I think MystiKal was there for it too or someone.

I thought I had the replay of us doing it still (took best part of an hour because of all the messing goin on) but I can't find it, despite having the replays before and after it :-|

Will ask some of the other guys that were there, see if they still have their replays.

Here's an utterly inefficient way of finding a replay (if you know what map it was played on):

Narrow the dates between which you think the game occured. Do a File Search for WAgames between those dates. (At this point, you may find it helpful to copy these files to another folder, then eliminate the Offline maps by searching for "Offline" and deleting all results) Select all. Right Click. Extract Map. Be ready to press enter repeatedly (otherwise your computer will crash after a while). Once you are done, go to your SavedLevels folder. Arrange your files by Size. Find maps that are the exact size of the map you played on. Copy & paste the first part of the name into the search field for the Games folder & find the corresponding game. Then check if it is the one you wanted.

I used the above trick to find a replay where I did a really cool trick on a RR map.

Think I deleted the file actually. Can't find it.

Does anyone know of any replayse of this?

I did upload one for you at blamethepixel.com at the recordings :)



ps: Thx to Mental for the public game :)

there seems to be a leaked version around now (search for it yourself), how did this happen?

Yeah, it appears to be TonY's. The guy who leaked it claims he searched on google for it, but i just tried "batty rope" "battyrope" "battyropes" and "batty ropes" and the only sites to come up were he and BTP, neither of which have it. TonY also has no idea how his version got out, he thinks someone must have hacked him.

i hope it won't be delayed now for a year... ;)

I never copied it, backed it up, uploaded it, archived it, burned it to a CD or DVD. Not sure which site you're reffering to though, since I haven't maintained one for what is probably well over a year now.

If you are annoyed at batty ropes (as I am), a good way to neutralize it is to revert to a patch that was released before the batty emulation was added.

Edit: I haven't been able to find a version of the patch that's old enough. If anyone has something older than 3.6.19.x please tell me.

that looks damn funny!
it works for bungee ropes too...
nice! :)

The earliest version that I was able to track down was 3.6.19.11.. and that already had batty emulation built in. Not much use in going too far back. I'm just going to boot anyone who appears to emulate batty.

another afternoon of messing about. I have like 10 replays of all sorts of gimmicks (and bugs) ill post them up in a few minutes...

double post edit

ok here they are :

explanation :
Chuterace ne1 v1 - a chuterace on worms hanging on bungee
Chuterace ne1 v2 - same as above, cleaner attempt
Magic Bungee - it's like a bungee from jetpack, watch and enjoy
Rope and Bungee battlerace - a battlerace on worms hanging on rope/bungee (took me 2 damn hours, already posted above, you can skip zip3 if you've seen it already)
The 'Bungee' Bungee - Bungee on a bungee, weeeeeeee!
Teleport refuse v1 - a bug, the teleport refuses
Teleport refuse v2 - a bug, the teleport refuses again
The Bungee Elevator 1st attempt - hmm, experimental
The Bungee Elevator 2nd attempt - experimental indeed
xMid-air kamikaze (mental) - mental indeed
The Rope Elevator - wee, the rope works as an elevator
The Rope Floater - float and bungee (nothing special really, just fun)

to mods :
if it's somehow illegal for me to post this, please notify me of this so the replays can be removed

Not a single person has it that isn't supposed to have it.

Hi

where i can get the 'Battyropes' ? Thats a funny Idea!!

where i can get the 'Battyropes' ? Thats a funny Idea!!
nowhere, as it hasn't been released yet.

a few people have it to beta-test it, if you see them on wormnet, they might be hosting a game with it.

My, my. This is what I miss when I ignore the WA subforum for so long.

Batty Ropes has a couple bugs from what I've experianced (as M3ntal mentioned), played a shoppa game with one of the testers a week ago, apparently came across one of the "bugs" that occurs with Batty on, what basically happened was when my turn came, instead of my cr8 falling down to the ground for me to grab, it didnt appear at all, and instead what it contained went to the other team, hope that issue has been fixed by now though.

Batty Ropes has a couple bugs
do the bugs "bungee from jetpack" and "bungee from rope/bungee", where the worm will hang in mid-air, when the other worm is removed, still exist?

Dont recall, we didnt spend "that" much time screwing around with Batty. ><

Now I wonder who deleted my post... :D
DC hurry up and release it already!! I have a need for it now.

DC hurry up and release it already!! I have a need for it now.
I don't think it is good idea to release so buggy feature now...

*rolls eyes* :rolleyes: All bugs will be fixed and it WILL be released

*rolls eyes* :rolleyes: All bugs will be fixed and it WILL be released
Sure - i didn't write "Batty ropes should never come, because they are buggy". I wrote, that it isn't good idea to release them NOW, because they are buggy (unless all known bugs are fixed already)

lol, srry dude :)
The way I interpreted it was "I don't think it is good idea to release batty ropes anymore because its so buggy"

Again, srry for the misunderstanding

nowhere, as it hasn't been released yet.

where i can get batty *drools* ?

Please stop asking for them before their release.

Can i use the battyropes only online?
no, online & offline.

I remember Squiffel/Lyndon telling me not to worry because Batty Ropes would be out, it's been about 1-2 years since he said that to me. And for the sake of anyone telling me, "omg wait it will be out" or "plz do not rush dc" keep to YOURSELF! Because 1. i know and 2. it's been said to me too many times for me to keep listening. One question? Deadcode doesn't work alone does he? I mean I take it he doesn't do all the C++ by himself right?

Deadcode doesn't work alone does he? I mean I take it he doesn't do all the C++ by himself right?
I thought he did.

afaik, deadcode is intending to implement batty ropes as an option.
not anytime soon though, as it seems to be quite buggy, unbalanced, etc.

i do think that deadcode works alone.
(except for a guy called jabba & me doing the french & german translations respectively)
he got the source code from t17 and i guess they don't throw that around like confetti.
as far as i could see, deadcode is indeed very able at programming.

Unless he's hiding programmers in his closet and paying them in peanuts to code the patches, he works alone.

Unless he's hiding programmers in his closet and paying them in peanuts to code the patches, he works alone.
i think deadcode is a highly sophisticated artificial intelligence consisting of thousands of computers connected via the internet.

And he pretends to be a person? That would be a pretty cool bluff.

Btw i did just play a shopper w/batty on,,, experienced that one bug where the crate can fall onto a worm on the rope. In my scenario, the crate appeared, fell, and was instantly collected by my dangling opponent which did make me laugh, then get ****ed. Just adressing that

Can you name a single person?

I don't think you can.
I have a friend he has it.

But he never send it to me.
Its fun sometimes when we play xD

yeah ive got mine working online too.

It's totally over-rated though (or at least how it is now), and you cant join games while using it. Its a pain switching back and forth so I dont even plan on using it anymore (unless if I join a game and someone happens to be using it)

I know you're probably looking out of sake of curiosity, like I did too, but its satisfying once u have it for like 15 mins.

I don't know about you but i can join games perfectly fine. Only some games say i need level patch but that doesnt even matter cause i host the games myself and everything is fine color maps n all.

where can i get battropes.zip ?
i was played it 3days ago. that was so funny:)
any link?

Btw, I got The old battyRopes Too (which was linked in this forum by error by a member).
And it's is supposed to doesn't work online.
Btw, It works great with my serverlist (A special one that I made, Only to change the text formatage !)

i htought it over and i decided it's wise to tell u, if u want to know as if it was made by someone who doesn't want it up, i know a site that has battyropes up, someone informed me in a game of the location and i checked it out. so since this is a planned thing (as i have been told) and i finally tried it today when a host had it, which was kinda cool, if somoen with somesort of ownership of battyropes wishes to msg me i'll give him the link and he can speak to the perople running the site.

Someone get me the link to download battyropes plz
