hi, does anyone know if there is a way to display the team standings during own turn like in WA/WWP? it's quite useful for playing "fair" games with ABL/KTL, and the small bars in the top right corner are too small to tell exactly who the leader/the last one is...

You can also edit stdvs.lua so that the game displays regularly who is the leader, and who is last. :)

well, i'm quite experienced PC user, but i haven't found anything in stdvs.lua that could help me :-[ and i also experimented with HudTwk.xml but i haven't found the desired setting... could anyone tell me how to do this (if even it can be done by editing mentioned files)?

i only gave it a quick look, but it might be this call:
SendMessage("WormManager.GetActiveAlliances")
if you can set up "on key down" event handler, you might be able to trigger this code inside it, making it show the teams on a key stroke.
edit: no, this doesn't seem to be it. hmm...

here is the question, though. why not simply use the little display at the top right of the screen. it shows all the teams and their health. it's not quite as precise, but it should give you a general idea most of the time.

yeah, you can get a general idea, but when you want to follow the KTL/ABL rule, you should know exactly who is the leader or the last one... that's why i'd like to setup the large bars like in WA/WWP when you pressed shift + del
