This wormkit module modifies the registry to force using WormKit.exe instead of WA.exe for:
- Replay files (.WAgame) including the custom playback options
- URLs like "wa://" (e.g. from WebSnoop)
It can be useful for people who are using Windows 7 and/or additional modules.
Usage
To use this module first you need to copy it in your WA folder, then just start WormKit.exe and it will modify the registry (silently). That's all. Please don't delete this module because if you start WormKit without having PathOverride, then it will roll back the changes. Also make sure that the default program for ".WAgame" files is Worms Armageddon, and not WormKit.exe, otherwise, you won't see the changes. Some browsers (e.g. Opera, Firefox) can use their own commands for opening "wa://" links. You should use the default values for the "wa" protocol, otherwise it will show you an error that WormKit cannot be started.
