This article's goal is to sum up the weapons settings.
Contents
Bases
- Each weapon's settings are 4 bytes long. A byte can theorically store a value between '0' and '255'. Each byte correspond to a different setting:
- Ammo
- Power
- Delay
- Crate Probability
- You can consider there are 2 main categories of weapon: regular ones and super ones.
Super Weapons
- You can't edit super weapons' power or crate probability settings. Those unused bytes allowed some WormKit modules to store their settings directly in the scheme file: RubberWorm is a good example of that phenomenon.
- In WWP schemes and in W:A v1 schemes (for version 3.0), you can't edit super weapons' settings at all.
Here are the super weapons (they appear in that order in scheme files) :
| Position | Weapon Name |
|---|---|
| 1 | Freeze |
| 2 | Super Banana Bomb |
| 3 | Mine Strike |
| 4 | Girder Starter Pack |
| 5 | Earthquake |
| 6 | Scales Of Justice |
| 7 | Ming Vase |
| 8 | Mike's Carpet Bomb |
| 9 | Patsy's Magic Bullet |
| 10 | Indian Nuclear Test |
| 11 | Select Worm |
| 12 | Salvation Army |
| 13 | Mole Squadron |
| 14 | MB Bomb |
| 15 | Concrete Donkey |
| 16 | Suicide Bomber |
| 17 | Sheep Strike |
| 18 | Mail Strike |
| 19 | Armageddon |
Ammo Setting
A 10 value or a value between 128 et 255 (both included) means infinite.
However, you'll need an external scheme editor to set a value above 10.
Power Setting
Warning: editing super weapons' power settings won't change anything. Also, in WWP, the limit is indeed 1-5 for every weapon.
The ingame scheme editor only lets you set this value from 1 to 5, whilst you can actually set it from 1 to 256.
However, most of the weapons don't go that far with power settings. There is no general rule that is the same for every weapon, but we can still group them:
- Most of the weapons' valid values are 1-20.
- Clusters weapons' valid values are 1-15.
Special cases:
- Jetpack's power setting can be edited since 3.6.29.0. It can go from 1 to 256, 1-5 meaning 30 fuel, 6 meaning infinite fuel. 7-256 values mean fuel amount + 6 (7-6=1 so 7 means 1 fuel, and so on).
Any unhandled values will simply makes the affected weapons not exploding at all.
Delay Setting
Almost works in the same way the ammo setting works: difference is that values considered as infinite are only 128-255, not 10;128-255.
There, you would ask me, how can infinite delay be useful? Well, with this you can prevent some super weapons from appearing in weapon crates.
