"WSC" (see worms terminology) 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.

Versioning

The basic W:A 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. Much of the information on this version was initially extracted from The Fiddler.
Version 2 was introduced in the v3.5 Beta 1 Update. It is 297 bytes in size, and contains the above plus settings for super weapons.
Version 3 was introduced in the v3.8 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

A scheme is organized into the following sections, which are explained in more detail below. Depending on the scheme version, specific sections may not be available.

Offset	Size	Version	Section	Description
00	5	1	Header	Signature ("magic bytes") and version of scheme.
05	35	1	Options	Game options like number of rounds, mines, worm energy, etc.
29	180	1	Weapons	Normal weapon and utility table.
DD	76	2	Super weapons	Super weapon and utility table.
129	0-110	3	Extended options	Detailed physics / emulation / RubberWorm settings.

The following data types are used:

Integers are little endian.
Fixed-point values can be thought of as being 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. However, these two halves really act as one, so can perhaps better be considered as a 32-bit signed integer measuring 65536ths — most notably, both halves of the fixed point take part in twos complement (so 0xFFFFFFFF is -(1/65536) and not -(65535/65536)).
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.

Header

Offset	Size	Type	Name	Description
00	4	char[4]	Signature	The magic number used to identify the WSC file. Hex: 0x5343484D, ASCII: "SCHM"
04	1	uint8	Version	Represents the WSC file version. 1 = Standard Scheme 2 = Super Weapon Scheme (super weapon settings are saved, see below) 3 = Extended Scheme (contains the extended scheme options, see below)

Options

Offset	Size	Type	Name	Description
05	1	uint8	Hot-Seat Delay	The extra time added between turns, used to switch seats and/or plan your turn. Values represent seconds.
06	1	uint8	Retreat Time	The time available after using a weapon while grounded, used to move to a better place before your turn ends. Values represent seconds.
07	1	uint8	Rope Retreat Time	The time available after using a weapon while roping, used to move to a better place before your turn ends. Values represent seconds.
08	1	bool	Display Total Round Time	If true, the total round time is displayed along with the turn time.
09	1	bool	Automatic Replays	If true, the game will automatically replay the ending of a significant turn. Does not apply to online games.
0A	1	uint8	Fall Damage	The amount of damage caused to a worm for hitting the ground at a critical velocity.
0B	1	bool	Artillery Mode	If true, worms are unable to move around by means of walking or jumping. Also known as "anchored worms".
0C	1	bool	Bounty Mode	This setting presumably was for a planned feature that never got implemented. The byte is unused by the game. A suggested use for this byte is for scheme editors to save a selected Magic Number to distinguish which scheme editor was used to encode a scheme. 0x00 = Unset 0x5F = LeTotalKiller's Scheme Editor 0x89 = SchemeEddy
0D	1	enum	Stockpiling Mode	Determines what happens to unused weapons between rounds. This setting only matters in matches where more than 1 round is meant to be played. 0 = Off (replenishing) 1 = On (accumulating) 2 = Anti (reducing)
0E	1	enum	Worm Select	The method for choosing which worm on the team plays the turn. 0 = Sequential 1 = On 2 = Random
0F	1	enum	Sudden Death Event	An event that gets triggered after the remaining round time reaches zero. 0 = Round ends (the leading team wins) 1 = Nuclear strike 2 = HP drops to 1 3 = Nothing happens
10	1	uint8	Water Rise Rate	The rate that the water rises after each turn during sudden death.
11	1	sint8	Weapon Crate Probability	The relative chance that a crate drop will contain weapons.

15	1	sint8	Utility Crate Probability	The relative chance that a crate drop will contain a utility.
16	1	uint8	Hazardous Object Types	Sets what hazards should appear on the landscape (and how many since W:A 3.6.28.0).
17	1	sint8	Mine Delay	The amount of time between activating a mine and it exploding. 4 and 0x80-0xFF = Random (between 0-3 seconds) Other = represents seconds
18	1	bool	Dud Mines	If true, some landscape mines will be triggered as duds.
19	1	bool	Manual Worm Placement	If true, worms are placed by the players onto the landscape at the beginning of the round.
1A	1	uint8	Initial Worm Energy	The amount of energy a worm begins a round with. 0 = all worms die (up to and including W:A 3.6.26.5, in WWP a crash occurs) Other = represent energy amount
1B	1	sint8	Turn Time	The amount of time you get to make your move. 0x00-0x7F = 0-127 seconds 0x80-0xFF = 65408-65535 seconds (practically unlimited, timer counts up until half the total value)
1C	1	sint8	Round Time	The amount of time before sudden death is triggered. 0 = sudden death triggering on the first turn 0x01-0x7F = represent minutes 0x80-0xFF = represent seconds, so that 0xFF = 1s and 0x80 = 128s
1D	1	uint8	Number of Wins	The number of round wins required to win the match. If 0, W:A (since 3.6.29.0) plays 1 round even if drawn, WWP plays for 1 win.
1E	1	bool	Blood	If true, damaging a worm causes red particles to be drawn instead of pink.
1F	1	bool	Aqua Sheep	If true, super sheep are converted to aqua sheep, which can swim under the water.
20	1	bool	Sheep Heaven	If true, exploding sheep will jump out of destroyed weapon crates.
21	1	bool	God Worms	If true, all worms have infinite health and can only be destroyed by drowning them.
22	1	bool	Indestructible Land	If true, the landscape can not be destroyed, except by rising water.
23	1	bool	Upgraded Grenade	If true, grenades are more powerful.
24	1	bool	Upgraded Shotgun	If true, the shotgun shoots 2 consecutive shots, giving it 4 shots total.
25	1	bool	Upgraded Clusters	If true, cluster weapons contain even more clusters.
26	1	bool	Upgraded Longbow	If true, longbows are more powerful.
27	1	bool	Team Weapons	If true, teams will start the match with their preselected team weapon. The team weapon setting will override the Ammo, Power, Delay, and Crate settings for the 8 team weapons in the scheme (see Team weapons).
28	1	bool	Super Weapons	If true, super weapons may appear in weapon crate drops (see Crate probability).

Weapons

The following weapon settings follow for each individual weapon. Version 1 of the scheme format stores only the 45 regular weapons. Version 2 of the format and later have added support for super weapon settings, totalling to 64 weapon records.

Offset	Size	Type	Name	Description
00	1	uint8	Ammunition	A value of 10 or between 0x80 and 0xFF will give unlimited ammunition.
01	1	uint8	Power	Effect varies depending on weapon. Jet Pack power will set the fuel.
02	1	uint8	Delay	A value between 0x80 and 0xFF 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.
03	1	uint8	Probability	Chance of the weapon appearing in a crate.

The list of weapons, as they appear in the scheme files and in the game memory, is as follows. If the given weapon's power is exceeded, the game warns about "non-standard" power levels, which are only defined for normal weapons, neither utilities nor super weapons.

Extended 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.

Several of these settings were previously achievable by forcing a specific game logic version or by using RubberWorm commands, and can now be controlled separately.

Offset	Size	Type	Default	Name	Description
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	Acceleration due to gravity in pixels per frame per frame. Minimum 0x01 (1/65536) Maximum 0xC80000 (200.0)
135	4	fixed-point	62914/65536 0x0000F5C2	Terrain Friction	The proportion of velocity retained during collisions with terrain (0 is instant stop, 1 is no friction). Known as "Friction" in RubberWorm. Minimum 0x0 (0.0) Maximum 0x28CCC (2 + 36044/65536)
139	1	uint8	255	Rope Knocking	Rope knocking force in percentage of the ordinary rope knocking force, or 255 to use the value from the channel scheme (online) or registry (offline). Known as "Knock" in RubberWorm.
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	Phased Worms (Allied)	Controls how allied worms move through and otherwise affect each other. 0 = off 1 = Worms (worms move through each other) 2 = Worms+Weapons (worms move through each other and weapon objects fired by allied worms) 3 = 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	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, Worm Selection won't be cancelled by movement, etc.; that is, if Worm Select is enabled in the scheme, you can always press tab during a turn to change worms; or if not, use of the Select Worm weapon will cause Worm Selection to be enabled until the end of the turn. 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	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). 0 = "Disabled", no weapons can be dropped during this time. 1 = "As from rope only" and allows dropping any weapons that can normally be dropped from the rope. 2 = "As from rope or jump" which additionally allows weapons that can be fired while jumping.
14B	1	enum	0	X-Impact Loss of Control	Determines whether horizontal collisions will cause the control of the worm to be lost at high enough speeds. 0xFF = No loss of control 0 = Loss of control
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	Keep Control After Skimming	Determines what happens to control after skimming on water. 0 = "Lose control", control is lost. 1 = "Keep control", control is kept but the rope cannot be shot again until the worm has become stationary. 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	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	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. Minimum 1
15B	2	uint16	200	Maximum Flamelet Count	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. Minimum 1
15D	4	fixed-point	32.0 0x00200000	Maximum Projectile Speed	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).

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.
171	1	bool	true	Glide Glitch	If true, a certain type of leftward collision by a jumping, post-drilling, or post-retreat worm can cause the worm to continue moving with reduced speed rather than landing.
172	1	enum	0	Skipwalking	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).

183	1	enum	0	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	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). Minimum 0 (0.0) Maximum (positive) 0x40000000 (16384.0) Maximum (negative) 0xC0000000 (-16384.0)
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.

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	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	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.

193	1	bitmask	7	Sheep Heaven's Gate	Controls what the Sheep Heaven scheme option enables. Since this is a bitmask, these values can be added together to determine which of these options are enabled. This must not be 0. 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.
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.

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.

 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.
+== Versioning ==
+The basic W:A 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. Much of the information on this version was initially extracted from [[The Fiddler]].
+* '''Version 2''' was introduced in the [[Worms_Armageddon_ReadMe_(English)/v3.5_Beta_1_Update|v3.5 Beta 1 Update]]. It is 297 bytes in size, and contains the above plus settings for super weapons.
+* '''Version 3''' was introduced in the [[Worms_Armageddon_ReadMe_(English)/v3.8_Update|v3.8 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]].
-<!-- a table would be much more fitting here but I'm too lazy to make wiki tables...-->
-<!-- added tables, some additional filler information, weapon links, values, etc. Values marked with a "?" are assumptions. I'll try fill in missing values later when I'm on my main computer, which has all my worm related notes. I included the "types" column because that information was already written here. --Etho -->

+The following data types are used:
+* '''Integers''' are little endian.
+* '''Fixed-point''' values can be thought of as being 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. However, these two halves really act as one, so can perhaps better be considered as a 32-bit signed integer measuring 65536ths — most notably, both halves of the fixed point take part in twos complement (so 0xFFFFFFFF is -(1/65536) and not -(65535/65536)).
+* '''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.

-===Super weapons===
+=== Extended options ===
-Super weapons are not available in Version 1 scheme files:
+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.
+Several of these settings were previously achievable by forcing a specific [[List of Worms Armageddon logic versions#Effects|game logic version]] or by using [[RubberWorm]] commands, and can now be controlled separately.

+== 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.
