wkMagic is a WormKit module written by CyberShadow which enables features depending on data which is encoded in scheme and map files.
wkMagic is compatible only with W:A 3.6.26.5, the latest Beta version at the time of its creation.
wkMagic is configurable through setting certain values in scheme settings, and by encoding special information in a barcode-like fashion on the bottom row of a map file. wkMagic Map Wizard is a program written by Hosma293 (a.k.a. Aerolite) which allows the user to easily encode wkMagic settings into maps.
At the time of its release, wkMagic was the first W:A extension which affected the game's state on a logic frame basis, allowing synchronized modified game behaviour in network games. As such, it can be considered to be a predecessor to RubberWorm.
Features
Most of wkMagic's features have been implemented in WA since it was made:
- Allow placing over 40 mines on the terrain (the mine limit in 3.6.26.5 was still 8) (for Bows and Arrows) (now available in scheme options)
- Allow worms not to collide with (pass through) other worms ("phantom worms") (now available in extended scheme options as of WA version 3.8 as "Phased Worms")
- Allow wind to affect roping and jumping worms (now available in extended scheme options as of WA version 3.8 as "RubberWorm wind influence applies to worms")
However, wkMagic still has 3 unique features which haven't been implemented in WA since then:
- Spawn all worms at a certain position at the game start (for rope races)
- Respawn worms at the start position if they touch water
- A similar feature is available in WA as of version 3.8 as "RubberWorm anti-sink", but this respawns worms at their last standing position, not the designated start position.
- Cause grenades which become stationary to explode with 0 damage (enforce "no sitters" rule of BnG)
