wkRandomMap - is a module for WormKit, that allows you to download a random map from WMDB right from map selection screen. The map being downloaded is random but with certain parameters, like type of the map.

Features

  • Downloading map right before playing
  • Map name, type, author is displayed while downloading
  • All downloaded maps are saved in history folder, separated by map type
  • Customisable parameters of maps to choose

Bugs

  • While downloading is in process, the game freezes and the download progress cannot be stopped (You see progress while downlading)
  • If WMDB changes site design, the module may become malfunction

Creating custom search parameters

  • First of all, go to WMDB.org and make a search of maps you want to. For example you may search for a map of certain type (e.g. Shoppa) and certain features (e.g. "good graphics")
  • Create a file with any name and ".PnG" extencion (Case sensitive, this is important!)
  • Open this file with notepad and write:
    • LOAD xxx
    • where xxx is copied part of URL started with "/Maps/..." (First slash is required)
  • Put this file into WA/User/SavedLevels/ folder to make it accessible from ingame

Example

File, named

Random Shoppa with good graphics.PnG

Containing string

LOAD /maps/?map[type]=shopper&map[feature_graphics]=1

While opening in W:A will turn into random shoppa map with good graphics
