(Up to Software)
icon WormKit
Developer: CyberShadow
Supported games: W:A
Supported W:A version: All versions
Language: Delphi
License: Open-source[1]

WormKit was an extension framework for Worms Armageddon. The distribution contained a module loader (whose only purpose is to load WormKit modules), and a set of default modules, each providing specific functionality.

By convention, a WormKit module is a DLL file, the filename of which begins with the letter "wk". There is no API or further integration, however some DLLs can provide common functionality for other modules to share (such as wkPackets).

Starting with W:A version 3.7.0.0, the ability to load WormKit modules is included as a game option, which makes the loader itself obsolete.

History

WormKit was first released on April 5, 2006. Since its release, no significant changes or additions were made to the framework itself. Although there was some work on additional default modules, including an anti-cheating system (wkWormisign) and a Fiddler-like scripted game engine add-on (wkMagic), none reached a development phase mature enough to be released, and thus the ideas were dropped.

In July 2011, WormKitDS was released. WormKitDS is an alternative module loader which removes the need of a launcher program. WormKitDS made managing WormKit-requiring replays easier, and worked under Linux and for the Steam edition of the game, whereas the original WormKit did not.

In December 2012, W:A 3.7.0.0 was released, with the addition of an option to load WormKit modules on startup. The new option made the loaders mostly obsolete.

In February 2013, the original WormKit homepage (previously located at http://worms.thecybershadow.net/wormkit/) was shut down and turned into a redirect to this page. The default modules have been made available as separate downloads. The old (obsolete) distribution can still be downloaded here.

Notes

  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 This module will not work with the game's "Load WormKit modules" option. A loader (WormKit.exe or WormKitDS) must be used instead.
