- "WSC" redirects here. For the scheme contest, see Worms Scheme Contest.
The W:A scheme file format contains game settings, which define which weapons will be available, various game options such as turn time and weapon strength, as well as many other settings.
Contents
Versioning
The basic WA scheme format currently has three versions:
- Version 1 is the original scheme format that came with the game. It is 221 bytes in size, and contains only the basic game options and settings for the standard weapons.
- Version 2 was introduced in the 3.5 Beta 1 update. It is 297 bytes in size, and contains the above plus settings for super weapons.
- Version 3 will be introduced in the 3.8 update. It is of variable size, depending on how many extended options are set — in 3.8 it can reach up to 407 bytes, though this may be extended in the future without necessarily incrementing the scheme format version. It contains the new Extended Scheme Options introduced in this version of the game. Default values are specified for each of the Extended Scheme Options which are used by the game when the file is not long enough to contain the option in question.
File format
Much of the following information was extracted from The Fiddler, written by Fudge Boy. Integers are little endian. Fixed-point values are split into two halves; the most significant two bytes are the whole part, and the least significant two bytes are the fractional part, measuring 65536ths. For instance, 0x00020001 (which due to little-endian would be written to the file in the order 01 00 02 00) would equal 2 + 1/65536. Bools, unless otherwise specified, use 0 for false and 1 for true. Tri-state values have the following possible values: 0 for false, 1 for true, 128 (0x80) for the default behaviour as determined by game engine version or other external factors.
| Offset | Size | Type | Default | Description |

| 28 | 1 | bool | Super Weapons When enabled, super weapons may appear in weapon crate drops (see Crate probability). Values: 0x00=Off?, 0x01=On?, Other=? | |
| 29 | Weapon Settings Individual weapon settings follow. Each weapon uses 4 unsigned bytes in the scheme file for weapon Ammo, Power, Delay, and Crate Probability settings respectively. Version 1 scheme files hold 45 weapon structures and Version 2 scheme files hold 64 weapon structures (see below). | |||
| 129 | Extended Scheme Options The following options are found only in Version 3 schemes. This section of the scheme file may be extended further in future versions of the game without the scheme version being incremented. For the options which follow, the game will detect invalid values when a scheme is loaded, and reset them to the defaults. | |||
| 129 | 4 | 0 | Data Version Currently 0x00000000. This may be changed by future versions of the game if interpretations of existing settings, for instance superweapon power/crate probability, change. | |
| 12D | 1 | bool | false | Constant Wind True if the wind field that follows should be interpreted as the constant value of the wind. |
| 12E | 2 | sint16 | 100 | Wind The strength and direction of the wind if Constant wind is true (positive being rightwards wind, negative being leftwards wind), else the maximum strength of the random wind (negative values inverting the wind bias). |
| 130 | 1 | uint8 | 15 | Wind Bias The higher the value, the more likely worms on the right side of the map will get leftwards wind, and vice versa. |
| 131 | 4 | fixed-point | 15728/65536 (0x00003D70) | Gravity minimum 0x01 (1/65536), maximum 0xc80000 (200.0). Acceleration due to gravity in pixels per frame per frame. |

| 13A | 1 | uint8 | 255 | Blood Level Amount of blood emitted from worms, or 255 to use the value from the channel scheme (online) or the default (offline, 25). Does not affect the blood's colour. |
| 13B | 1 | bool | false | Unrestrict Rope If true, the rope may be fired 54 degrees below the horizontal, and has reduced friction. Known as "IR" in RubberWorm. |
| 13C | 1 | bool | false | Auto-place worms by ally If true, the game will attempt to group worms by their allied colour when automatic worm placement is enabled (or is forced by the presence of CPU teams). |
| 13D | 1 | uint8 | 255 | No-crate probability If set to a value other than 255, specifies the probability of no crate falling at the start of a given turn; the maximum allowed to be set ingame being 100 (0x64). If the value is set to 255, this field is ignored and the usual logic for determining the no-crate probability applies (see Crate probability). |
| 13E | 2 | uint16 | 5 | Maximum crate count on map at once Specifies the maximum number of crates which can appear on the map at once before the game will stop spawning new ones. Known as "Cratelimit" in RubberWorm. Setting this too high can cause strange graphical effects. |
| 140 | 1 | bool | true | Sudden Death disables Worm Select If true, Worm Select is disabled when Sudden Death starts. |
| 141 | 1 | uint8 | 5 | Sudden Death worm damage per turn If the sudden death type is set to nuke, the number of health points that will be lost per turn. |
| 142 | 1 | enum | 0 (Off) | Phased Worms (Allied) Controls how allied worms move through and otherwise affect each other. 0 is off, 1 is Worms (worms move through each other), 2 is Worms+Weapons (worms move through each other and weapon objects fired by allied worms), 3 is Worms+Weapons+Damage (worms move through each other and weapon objects fired by allied worms and don't take damage from explosions caused by allied worms). |
| 143 | 1 | enum | 0 (Off) | Phased Worms (Enemy) As above, but for enemy worms. |
| 144 | 1 | bool | false | Circular Aim If true, the crosshair will continue moving past the top or bottom of its limits instead of stopping, to make aiming at specific angles more challenging. Known as "CIRA" in RubberWorm. |
| 145 | 1 | bool | false | Anti-lock Aim If true, aim is reset between turns, to make repeat shots more challenging. |
| 146 | 1 | bool | false | Anti-lock Power If true, power will start to decrease once it reaches the maximum, instead of the weapon being fired. Intended to make full-power shots more challenging. Known as "ALP" in RubberWorm. |
| 147 | 1 | bool | false | Worm Selection doesn't end Hot Seat If true, selecting worms at the start of a turn will not cause the Hot Seat timer to end and the turn timer to start. |
| 148 | 1 | bool | false | Worm Selection is never cancelled If true, you can always press tab during a turn to change worms. Know as "SWAT" in RubberWorm. |
| 149 | 1 | bool | false | Batty Rope If true, worms will keep their ninja rope, bungee, or jetpack even when a turn ends. |
| 14A | 1 | enum | 0 (Disabled) | Rope-roll drops Determines which, if any, weapons can be dropped while in a rope roll (after detaching the Ninja Rope or Bungee while control is still retained). A value of 0 means Disabled; that is, no weapons can be dropped during this time. 1 is "As from rope only" and allows dropping any weapons that can normally be dropped from the rope. 2 is "As from rope or jump" which additionally allows weapons that can be fired while jumping. |
| 14B | 1 | boolean-like | 0 | X-Impact loss of control If set to 0, horizontal collisions at a high enough speed will cause a loss of control. If set to 0xFF, they will not. |
| 14C | 1 | bool | false | Keep control after bumping head If true, control of the worm is retained even after an upwards vertical collision with terrain during a rope/bungee roll. |
| 14D | 1 | enum | 0 (Lose control) | Keep control after skimming Determines what happens to control after skimming on water. If 0 ("Lose control"), control is lost. If 1 ("Keep control"), control is kept but the rope cannot be shot again until the worm has become stationary. If 2 ("Keep control and rope"), control is kept and the worm continues roping so the rope can be shot again from the air. |
| 14E | 1 | bool | false | Fall damage is triggered by explosions If true, worms will suffer fall damage in addition to the usual explosion damage when they are thrown by explosions. |
| 14F | 1 | tri-state | default | Explosions push all objects If true, explosions push all objects; for instance a mad cow exploding will push the other cows. Known as "OPE" in RubberWorm. |
| 150 | 1 | tri-state | default | Undetermined Crates If true, crate contents are not determined until the crate is picked up, or someone collects a Crate Spy; instead of when the crate is spawned. |
| 151 | 1 | tri-state | default | Undetermined Fuses If true, the fuses of random mines are not determined until the mine is triggered, instead of when the mine is created. |
| 152 | 1 | bool | true | Pause timer while firing If true, the turn timer will be paused while a weapon is being fired. Known as "FDPT" in RubberWorm. |
| 153 | 1 | bool | false | Loss of control doesn't end turn If true, losing control of your worm will not cause your turn to end. Known as "LDET" in RubberWorm. |
| 154 | 1 | bool | false | Weapon use doesn't end turn If true, using a weapon will not cause your turn to end. Known as "SDET" in RubberWorm. |
| 155 | 1 | bool | false | Enabling above option doesn't block any weapons If true, enabling the above option won't cause the Earthquake, Armageddon, and Indian Nuclear Test to be disabled. Known as "USW" in RubberWorm. |
| 156 | 1 | tri-state | default | Pneumatic Drill imparts velocity If true, hitting a worm with a pneumatic drill will cause that worm to move horizontally proportionally to how fast the drilling worm is moving. |
| 157 | 1 | bool | false | Girder Radius Assist If true, the mouse cursor is prevented from moving outside the radius in which a girder can successfully be placed. |
| 158 | 2 | fixed-point fractional part | 13106/65536 (0x3332) | Petrol Turn Decay To what extent flames from a Petrol Bomb decay per turn. A value of 0xFFFF (65535/65536) causes the flames to be removed completely after one turn. |
| 15A | 1 | uint8 | 30 | Petrol Touch Decay Minimum 1. To what extent flames from a Petrol Bomb decay when touched by a worm. Larger values will result in the petrol disappearing faster and thus imparting less total damage. |
| 15B | 2 | uint16 | 200 | Maximum flamelet count Minimum 1. The maximum number of fire objects that can exist at once. Creation of new flamelets beyond this limit will erase older ones. Setting this too high can cause strange graphical effects. Known as "Flames" in RubberWorm. |

The maximum speed in pixels per frame at which an object following projectile physics can move (the limit is applied separately for vertical and horizontal velocity). A value of 0 disables the limit. |
| 161 | 4 | fixed-point | 16.0 (0x00100000) | Maximum rope speed Minimum 0 (0.0), maximum 0x7FFFFFFF (32767 + 65535/65536). The maximum speed in pixels per frame at which a worm with an attached Ninja Rope or Bungee can move. A value of 0 disables the limit. Known as "Speed" in RubberWorm. |

| 169 | 4 | fixed-point | 1.0 (0x00010000) | Game engine speed Minimum 0x1000 (4096/65536 or 1/16), maximum 0x800000 (128.0). The speed at which physics and sound effects occur, where the normal speed is 1.0. |
| 16D | 1 | tri-state | default | Indian Rope glitch If true, selecting and firing the ninja rope while moving will bypass the angle limit of the Ninja Rope and allow it to be shot vertically downwards. |
| 16E | 1 | tri-state | default | Herd-doubling glitch If true, jumping at the right moment makes it possible to release twice the number of Mad Cows as the selected herd count. |
| 16F | 1 | bool | true | Jet Pack Bungee glitch If true, Bungee may be triggered from a Jet Pack. |
| 170 | 1 | bool | true | Angle cheat glitch If true, selecting and firing the baseball bat and longbow while moving makes it possible to bypass the angle restrictions on these weapons. |

| 172 | 1 | enum | 0 (Possible) | Skip-walking 0xFF = Disabled; skip-walking is no faster than normal walking. 0 = Possible; skip-walking is possible using the usual methods. 1 = Facilitated; skip-walking is possible using the up and down cursor keys instead of right click (this allows skip-walking during retreat). |
| 173 | 1 | enum | 0 (Allow roofing) | Block roofing 0 = Allow roofing, using the usual methods. 1 = Block above; effectively extends the roof upwards to infinity. 2 = Block everywhere; effectively extends the roof left, right, and upwards to infinity. |
| 174 | 1 | bool | true | Floating weapon glitch If true, a weapon which would normally explode on impact can be dropped onto a surface and sit until its fuse expires, if done in precisely the right way. |
| 175 | 4 | fixed-point | 0.0 | RubberWorm bounciness Minimum 0 (0.0), maximum 0x10000 (1.0). Makes worms spring back like a banana on collision, and sets the strength (coefficient of restitution) of said bounciness. Known as "Rubber" in RubberWorm. |
| 179 | 4 | fixed-point | 0.0 | RubberWorm air viscosity Minimum 0 (0.0), maximum 0x4000 (16384/65536 or 1/4). Makes objects such as projectiles experience "friction" while flying through the air, and sets the strength of said friction. Known as "Visc" in RubberWorm. |

| 183 | 1 | enum | 0 (Unmodified) | RubberWorm gravity type 0 = Unmodified (RubberWorm gravity will not affect the game), 1 = Standard (RubberWorm gravity behaves like standard gravity; the difference being that RubberWorm gravity only affects certain objects) (RubberWorm "Gravity"), 2 = Black Hole (constant) (RubberWorm gravity will pull objects to the centre of the map with a constant force) (RubberWorm "CBH"), 3 = Black Hole (linear) (RubberWorm gravity will pull objects to the centre of the map with a strength relative to the distance from the centre) (RubberWorm "PBH"). |
| 184 | 4 | fixed-point | 1.0 (0x00010000) | RubberWorm gravity strength Minimum 0 (0.0), maximum (positive) 0x40000000 (16384.0), maximum (negative) 0xC0000000 (-16384.0). Sets the strength of the RubberWorm gravity, in terms of a multiplier of ordinary gravity for Standard or Black Hole (constant), or representing the distance in pixels from the centre of the map at which gravity will be the normal strength for Black Hole (linear). |
| 188 | 1 | uint8 | 0 | RubberWorm crate rate Sets the number of crates that can potentially spawn simultaneously at the start of the turn. With crate drop probabilities set to 100% and when the maximum crate count would not be reached, this is equal to the number of crates which spawn. A crate counter will also be enabled if this is nonzero. Known as "Craterate" in RubberWorm. |
| 189 | 1 | bool | false | RubberWorm crate shower If true, crates will drop continuously during turns. Known as "Crateshower" in RubberWorm. |
| 18A | 1 | bool | false | RubberWorm anti-sink If true, worms will be teleported back to the last piece of land they were standing on if they touch the sea. If they touch the sea twice in a row they will drown as normal. Known as "Antisink" in RubberWorm. |
| 18B | 1 | bool | false | RubberWorm remember weapons If true, it prevents the weapon selection from resetting to a common weapon after using rarer weapons. Known as "WDCA" in RubberWorm. |
| 18C | 1 | bool | false | RubberWorm extended fuses/herds If true, the numeric keys from 0-9 can all be used in selecting weapon fuses and herd sizes (0 corresponds to 10). Known as "Fuseex" in RubberWorm. |

| 18E | 1 | tri-state | default | Terrain overlap phasing glitch If true, objects with collision masks intersecting with the land will pass through said land until reaching space free of any land. |
| 18F | 1 | bool | false | Fractional round timer If true, the sudden death round timer counts down in fractions of seconds, instead of only in whole seconds. In schemes with one second turn time this allows sudden death to approach even if no players fail to finish their turn before the time runs out. |
| 190 | 1 | bool | false | Automatic end-of-turn retreat If true, retreat time will be triggered when turn time expires. Useful in "weapon use doesn't end turn" mode. |
| 191 | 1 | enum | 1 (Cure all worms in team) | Health crates cure poison Determines which worms, if any, are cured of poison when a health crate is collected. 0xFF = Don't cure any worms. 0 = Cure only the worm which collected the crate. 1 = Cure all worms in the team of the worm which collected the crate. 2 = Cure all teams allied to the worm which collected the crate. |
| 192 | 1 | enum | 0 (default; 20, 10, 15, 5, 10, 15, 10, 15, 5) | RubberWorm Kaos mod Changes the utility crate probabilities (Fast Walk, Laser Sight, Damage*2, Invisibility, Low Gravity, Crate Spy, Jet Pack, Double Time, Crate Shower) between 6 presets. 0 = default (20, 10, 15, 5, 10, 15, 10, 15, 5); 1 = 20, 10, 10, 5, 10, 15, 10, 12, 5; 2 = 20, 15, 10, 5, 10, 15, 10, 10, 0; 3 = 25, 15, 5, 0, 20, 20, 10, 5, 0; 4 = 25, 25, 0, 5, 20, 10, 10, 5, 0; 5 = 25, 15, 5, 5, 25, 10, 10, 5, 0. Known in RubberWorm as "Kaosmod". |
| 193 | 1 | bitmask | 7 (explode | fuse | odds) | Sheep Heaven's gate Controls what the Sheep Heaven scheme option enables. 0x01 = sheep explode out of all crates. 0x02 = extended fuse time on Super Sheep/Aqua Sheep/Sheep Launcher. 0x04 = boost crate probabilities of sheep-themed weapons. Since this is a bitmask, these values can be added together to determine which of these options are enabled. This must not be 0. |
| 194 | 1 | bool | false | Conserve instant utilities If true, instant utilities are consumed one at a time, and the remainder conserved, staying in the teams' inventories for later automatic use. Among other effects, this causes Damage*2 ammo to behave like Worms World Party's Double Damage ammo setting. |
| 195 | 1 | bool | false | Expedite instant utilities If true, instant utilities are always consumed as soon as they are collected, even in circumstances (such as after the end of a team's turn) when they would normally be conserved for later use. |
| 196 | 1 | uint8 | 1 | Double Time stack limit The number of times a Double Time instant utility can be activated in a single turn. 0 represents unlimited activations. Stacking occurs with multipliers 2*, 3/2*, 4/3*, 5/4*, etc. |
Weapon structure
The first scheme format version holds only the 45 regular weapons. Version 2 of the format and later have added support for super weapon settings, totalling to 64 weapon records.
Each weapon setting structure is 4 bytes long and is as follows:
- 00 - ammo (1 byte, unsigned) - Note: A value of 0A or between 80 and FF will give unlimited ammunition.
- 01 - power (1 byte, unsigned) - Note: effect varies depending on weapon. Jet Pack power will set the fuel.
- 02 - delay (1 byte, unsigned) - Note: A value between 80 and FF will give the weapon an unlimited delay, "blocking" it. This is useful if one doesn't want a specific super weapon that has 0 ammunition to appear in crates.

Differences in Worms World Party
Worms World Party schemes are based on Worms Armageddon version 1 schemes. After the weapon settings (which don't include super weapons), Worms World Party schemes contain three bytes of unknown purpose (appear to usually be null), followed by five bytes composed of a repeat of the signature followed by the version one more time. In addition, the Worms World Party schemes use version number 1, and they interpret Double Damage ammo as the number of turns for which double damage will take effect.
