I've been years asking me wtf this text means...

"Nuclear Winter
Super Skunk
Shark Attack
Are just three cheats that you wont find in this game
Sorry but i'm not telling you what they are really called but try rearanging the letters of Jansky Darrens No.1 hit in 1987
This patch was assisted by both programmers having a cold for most of the time"

Anyone have an idea? ^^

(Unknown cheats/weapons for wwp? a fake string?)

Where have you found these strings?

Inside the EXE file... wwp.exe, the size of my file is 3.125.248 bytes, and the offset of the string is 0x1EFE10

Lmao. Yes. I discovered loads of junk like that (including that) back when I was reading the entirety of WA.exe for curiosity's sake. :) Yeah, those strings mean nothing. They're just Team17's way of being awesome.

Yes, I found many interesting things. WA.exe is a treasure trove of interesting things. However, after the update, the file is compressed with an exe-compression algorithm, so the only way to view its true contents is to decompress it with the reversal of its algorithm. On a completely unrelated note, PEiD is a good program. ;)

Damn. And there was me trying desperately to find something in the updated WA.exe.

*opens WA Fiddler's EXE file. I don't mean fiddler.exe, I mean the WA.exe I use for the fiddler, dummy :p*

EDIT: LOL!!!!!! IT'S SOOOO FUNNY! If you want to see it, open WA max ver 3.0.0.0 with XVI32 or another hex editor!
I like the bit where it said "btw, these are not cheats. No sir, not cheats". Looool!

Yes. Remove the "funky" characters from the character set that your hex editor uses. This is relatively easy in Hex Workshop.
