(Up to File formats)
"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.

File format

Much of the following information was extracted from The Fiddler, written by Fudge Boy.

Offset Size Type Description
00 4 int32 Signature. The magic number used to identify the WSC file. Hex: 0x5343484D, ASCII: "SCHM"
04 1 byte Version Represents the WSC file version. Values: 0x01=Standard Scheme, 0x02=Extended Scheme (super weapon settings are saved, see below)
05 1 ubyte Hot-Seat Delay The extra time added between turns, used to switch seats and/or plan your turn. Values: represent seconds
06 1 byte 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 byte 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 When enabled, the total round time is displayed along with the turn time. Values: 0x00=Off?, 0x01=On?, Other=?
09 1 bool Automatic Replays When enabled, the game will automatically replay the ending of a significant turn. Does not apply to online games. Values: 0x00=Off?, 0x01=On?, Other=?
0A 1 byte Fall Damage The amount of damage caused to a worm for hitting the ground at a critical velocity. Values: see Fall Damage
0B 1 bool Artillery Mode Known also as, anchored worms. When enabled, worms are unable to move around by means of walking or jumping. Values: 0x00=Off?, 0x01=On?, Other=?
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. Values: 0x00=Unset, 0x89=SchemeEddy
0D 1 byte 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. Values: 0x00=Off (replenishing), 0x01=On (accumulating), 0x02=Anti (reducing), Other=?
0E 1 byte Worm Select The method for choosing which worm on the team plays the turn. Values: 0x00=Ordered? (off), 0x01=Optional? (on), 0x02=Random?, 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).

Weapon structure

The first scheme format version holds only the 45 regular weapons, and is 221 bytes in size. Version 2 of the format is 297 bytes in size and has added support for super weapon settings, totaling 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 will give unlimited ammunition.
  • 01 - power (1 byte, unsigned)
  • 02 - delay (1 byte, unsigned)
  • 03 - crate probability (1 byte, unsigned)


This article has a to-do list:
  • link or add normal value ranges, and how the game acts when stuff is set outside these bounds
