Worms Armageddon mission file

(Up to File formats)

The Worms Armageddon mission file is the file format used to store missions. It contains many typos and spelling errors; so any typos in this page are more likely to be mistakes in the actual format than typos in the documentation.

Mission files in a disc installation of Worms Armageddon are located on the CD. Which map is used appears to be hard-coded (not usually the same one as the mission filename), as are names and descriptions. This makes making custom missions a bit of a pain. However, below is an almost-complete documentation on the file format. A few notes from Worms World Party are also mentioned due to its mission editor existing, but this documentation is NOT comprehensive for the WWP file format which has many additions and a few alterations (especially of unused or little-known options). In the future, WWP additions may be listed at the bottom of this page.

Mission Groups

All mission settings are organized under main groups according to their type. These groups always appear in the same order in official missions. (it is uncertain if the ordering matters)

Not all the of the groups are vital for the mission to work. The [CPUTeam#], [Event####], and [Sequence####] may have multiple instances in the file, and the group seems to be ignored if the number is zero so make sure it's positive.

Typos and many other errors appear to be silently ignored, which isn't great for manual debugging, especially since the file format is filled with them in the first place.

1. The [Mission] Group

This contains the overview of the mission itself. Not yet particularly well-documented on the whole.

Type	Parameter String	Description
int	MissionNumber=	Corresponds to the 0-indexed mission number; probably unused in game (untested).
int	WinningCondition=	What you need to do in order to win the mission. 0: Kill all AI teams, will count as a failure if a red team does not carry out the winning move. 1: Destroy a vital crate or team. Collecting the vital crate counts as a failure. 2: Survival: A red-coloured team must be alive when the mission ends. 3: Mission must be terminated (using event or sequence).
int	WinningWeapon=	Unknown, unused?

2. The [Description] Group

This contains details about the description of the mission. Again, not at all well-documented.

Type	Parameter String	Description
int	Name=	Index of the mission name, description, map file, and thumbnail. Position in the list of missions is hardcoded by filename it seems. For training missions, this is ONLY used for the map file; the rest of the data is hardcoded by filename.
int	Difficulty=	Not used. Apparently the difficulty rating for the mission?

3. The [Options] Group

This contains the bulk of the scheme options for the mission. It's pretty comprehensive, containing many features not in the normal scheme format. Many of the values work differently to in the standard scheme format, so read the value descriptions carefully. Most of these are documented well but it is unknown what the upper and lower limits are for many of them; value ranges acceptable in the WWP mission editor are included where it is not obvious.

Type	Parameter String	Description
int	FallDamage=	Sets the Fall Damage.
bool	DisplayRoundTime=	Boolean. 1 to display the round time.
bool	EnableActionReplay=	Boolean. 1 to show action replays.
int	LandRetreatTime=	The retreat time in seconds for weapons fired from land.
int	RopeRetreatTime=	The retreat time in seconds for weapons fired from a rope.
int	RoundTime=	Round time. If the value is positive, it represents time in minutes; negative values represent time in seconds.
int	TurnTime=	Turn time. Appears to be formatted like the one in the scheme file, ie signed with negative representing infinite, as it won't let me enter a value greater than 126 in the WWP mission editor.
int	MineFuse=	Mine fuse in seconds, 4 is random. (-1 is random in WWP, maybe any value outside 1-3 works?)
int	ObjectType=	Always 0 in default mission files, as they place their objects manually. Probably as in scheme files, ie 0 for no objects, 1 for mines, 2 for barrels, 5 for both, but not tested. Objects would be placed in the same place every time due to random seed being set.
int	WeaponCrateDrops=	Weapon crate drop probability. Seems to work the same as in scheme files - see Crate probability
int	HealthCrateDrops=	Ditto, for health crates.
int	UtilityCrateDrops=	Ditto, for utility crates.
int	HealthCrateEnergy=	Set default value for energy obtained from health crates. Setting this to zero (or not including it) makes the default 15.
bool	EnableSecretWeapons=	1 if super weapons are available from crates; 0 if not.
int	SuddenDeathWaterRise=	Water rise rate in pixels.
int	SuddenDeathWormDamage=	Worm damage in sudden death per turn. Positive values are absolute health values. -1 is all but one. Either 0 is "none", WWP mission editor seems to have a bug in this respect where it will set none to 1, more testing required.
int	SuddenDeathType=	0 = end round. 1 = nuke. 2 and 3 = no nuke - water rise and worm damage honoured in both cases. More testing required.
int	PauseBetweenTurns=	Hotseat time in seconds.
int	GirderRadius=	Girder placement radius in pixels. 0 = infinite range.
bool	WormSelect=	0 = worms in order, 1 = user worm select.
int	JetPackTimeLimit=	The amount of fuel in the jetpack. Do not include this parameter if you wish to use the default fuel (30). Setting this value to zero will give infinite fuel, the fuel counter starts at zero and goes up as you use it.
bool	WeaponsDontEndTurn=	1 if weapons don't end your turn, 0 otherwise.
bool	PauseTimerWhileFiring=	1 if timer is paused during firing, 0 otherwise.
bool	TurnEndFinishesGame=	1 if ending your turn finishes the mission.
bool	LossOfControlDoesntEndTurn=	1 if losing control doesn't cause the turn to end, 0 otherwise.
bool	Score=	1 if score displayed ingame; 0 otherwise.
bool	Sheep=	Enables the "All crates contain sheep" cheat. When exploded, crates will throw out a sheep regardless of the crate contents.

4. The [Enviroment] Group

This contains information about the environment of the landscape. Once again, reasonably documented, but value limits are not known.

Type	Parameter String	Description
string	LandFile=	Seems to always be data\land.dat
int	Wind=	Maximum wind out of 100. If -1, fixed wind is enabled.
int	FixedWind=	If Wind = -1, this is a value between -100 and 100 representing the fixed wind, with -100 being full left and 100 being full right.
int	Friction=	The opposite of friction. Default is 96. WWP mission editor values: ice = 99, mud = 98, stone = 96, rubber = 50, glue = 1. Maybe above 100 is anti-friction?
bool	IndestructableBorder=	[sic]. 1 if indestructible border around whole level, 0 if not.
bool	IndestructableLandscape=	[sic]. 1 if indestructible landscape, 0 if not.
int	LogicRandomSeed=	The starting random seed. 12345 is used for most WA missions; 0 for WWP custom missions. Doesn't really matter.
bool	AlliedGroupToGoFirst=	Which allied group is first to have a turn.
int	Sound=	Track number on disc of ambient audio track to play during mission. Values out of range (of 1-11) appear to choose random BGM.

5. The [Teams] Group

Very small group describing the number of teams in the mission.

Type	Parameter String	Description
int	TeamsInMission=	Simply, the number of teams in the mission. The game does appear to use this; one mission has a fifth team defined that isn't used due to this being 4; and if this is set too high, the game spawns 1-worm CPU teams in "random" places on the map. Trying to set this value higher than 6 will cause WA to produce an error message when trying to load the mission that the number of teams is too high, then run the mission with only 6 teams. Values less than 1 will cause the mission to load with 1 team.

6. The [HumanTeam] Group

The group describing the human team.

Type	Parameter String	Description
int	NumberOfWorms=	Simply the number of worms on the team. No out-of-bounds checking is done on this number, so a value outside of 0-8 will cause a fatal crash. A value of zero will cause the team to spawn with zero worms, causing the team bar to shrink and then drop off the bottom of the screen immediately, much like what happens when a team is wiped out normally.
int	Ammo_WeaponString=	The ammo of the given weapon. Any negative number or number larger then 32,767 is infinite, however you can collect more ammo from crates letting you go above 32,767, if for some reason you think you'll need more ammo.
int	Delay_WeaponString=	The delay of the given weapon in turns. Like ammo, this can be set to an infinite value if you want to render it unusable with a negative value or value higher than 32,767. Providing a delay to instant effect utilities will prevent them from triggering until the delay runs out.
int	Worm#_Energy=	Energy of the worm in health points. -1 for "very high health that can't be displayed properly" (quote from WWP mission editor).
int	Worm#_DeseasePoints=	Number of disease [sic] points for worm. 0 for healthy worm.
bool	Worm#_ArtileryMode=	1 for artillery [sic, yet again] mode for worm, 0 for worm can move.
bool	Worm#_PlaceWorm=	1 if placed as per the options below, 0 if "randomly" placed (obviously based on the same seed each game so not random at all).
int	Worm#_XPosition=	X position of the worm.
int	Worm#_YPosition=	Y position of the worm.
bool	Worm#_Vital=	1 for vital worm; 0 for not. Appears to have no effect for the human team, but some missions have it anyway. That's probably the source of the "killing your worm as well wins the mission" bug in some versions of mission 14 - this option was expected to work when it didn't.

7. The [CPUTeam#] Group

Any number of groups describing CPU teams. Presumably limited to five of these.

Type	Parameter String	Description
int	TeamNameNumber=	The team name. You can choose from the following values, any value not listed will be treated as 0: 0 = Cannon Fodder 1 = Commandos 2 = Elite 3 = Enemy 4 = Guardsmen 5 = Gunners 6 = Officers 7 = Patrol 8 = Platoon 9 = Resistance 10 = Special Forces
int	TeamSkill=	CPU skill. Setting this value to 0 will cause the team to be player controlled, although the mission is still treated as a single-player mission relying on the survival of the red player team. Setting this to 101-120 will result in what appears to be a hyper-accurate 6th skill that exhibits some peculiarities, it loves to aim for its own alliance teammates (including you), but will only actually fire the shot if it thinks it's going to miss because there is land in the way. This can result in some unintended friendly fire (for example, firing an uzi when there is a thin strip of land in the way, so later bullets hit). Other invalid values can cause strange behaviour and should not be used. The team's flag is determined by this setting: 1-20 = CPU1 21-40 = CPU2 41-60 = CPU3 61-80 = CPU4 81-100 = CPU5 0 or 101-120: Default flag Other values: No flag (a big black rectangle is drawn)
int	NumberOfWorms=	Simply the number of worms on the team. Invalid values causes crashes.
int	SoundBank=	Supposedly sets the soundbank for the team, but is ignored. The default soundbank is always used.
int	Flag=	Supposedly selects the flag, but this is ignored. Flags are selected through the TeamSkill parameter.
int	GraveStone=	Supposedly selects the gravestone used by the team, but this is ignored. It is not possible to change gravestones.
int	AlliedGroup=	Allied group of the team. 0 is red, 1 is blue, etc. Use the values 0-5 for each of the 6 team colours. Setting a CPU team's group to 0 will result in a computer team allied to you, which follows the usual rules of alliances in matches (NOTE: You will gain access to any weapons granted to this team as you will both share an inventory). If a CPU team is allied with you, the mission will still immediately fail if the player team is wiped out. Setting the value to 6 or 7 will result in the mission immediately aborting as a failure. For some reason, starting a match with a team of alliance 8 present will set your game volume to 0. Note that other values can cause horrible sprite issues, inactive teams using large fonts for their name text, and all other manner of Lovecraftian horror.
bool	MissionVital=	Set to 1 if team is vital to a mission. This will produce a team of hat-wearing "VIP" worms that cannot act and will cause the immediate surrender of any allied teams when all of the worms in the team die. This includes making the player team surrender resulting in a mission failure if a VIP team is allied with them. Note that VIP worms will always wear a red hat, regardless of the colour team they are allied with.
int	Ammo_WeaponString=	The ammo of the given weapon. -1 is infinite.
int	Delay_WeaponString=	The delay of the given weapon in turns. 0 or not present for no delay.
int	Worm#_Energy=	Energy of the worm in health points. Negative values wrap around to large numbers, e.g. a setting of -1 gives a worm 65535 health, although this will display as 9999. A worm starting with 0 energy will immediately die.
int	Worm#_DeseasePoints=	Number of disease [sic] points for worm. 0 for healthy worm. A negative value counts as "infinite", which will take a worm to 1 hit point after the first turn, as poison/disease will not kill a worm.
bool	Worm#_ArtileryMode=	1 for artillery [sic, yet again] mode for worm, 0 for worm can move.
bool	Worm#_PlaceWorm=	Unlike the human team, this option is ignored for CPU teams and is always set to 1. This is due to a bug fix in the v3.6.26.4_Beta_Update for mission #26 "Mad Cows". If you want to "randomly" place CPU team worms, don't provide any X and Y co-ordinates.
int	Worm#_XPosition=	X position of the worm.
int	Worm#_YPosition=	Y position of the worm. Worms placed in the air and will "snap to ground" when the mission is loaded. Starting a worm stuck inside the ground will cause it to default to co-ordinates that appear to be something like (0, -200), causing the worm to get trapped outside of cavern levels. There are no sensibility checks on the co-ordinates you provide.
int	Worm#_NameNumber=	The worm name. You can choose from the following values, any value not listed will be treated as 0: 0 = Sentry 1 = Guard 2 = Sniper 3 = Grenadier 4 = Field Soldier 5 = Artillery 6 = Captain 7 = Secret Agent 8 = Major 9 = General 10 = Field Marshall 11 = Assassin
int	Worm#_FixedWeapon=	The weapon ID of the fixed weapon. 0 for normal free CPU choice.
int	Worm#_ActionRadius=	The distance away from itself the CPU takes into account. 0 = no range limitation?
bool	Worm#_Vital=	1 if the worm is vital to the mission, 0 otherwise. If a vital worm is killed, all allied teams surrender. Might not work with allies to the human team.

8. The [Events] Group

Definitely not required, this group.

Type	Parameter String	Description
int	TotalNumberOfEvents=	Supposed to be the total number of events, but actually wrong in some of the few missions it even appears in. This value is ignored anyway.

9. The [Event####] Group

Events happen independently of each other after a certain number of turns. If more than one event exists for a given turn, they are executed in numerical order. Note that possibly due to a bug or possibly by design, events must appear in the order in which they occur - so if a turn 0 event appears after a turn 1 event, the turn 0 event will not be executed.

Type	Parameter String	Description
int	TypeOfEvent=	See Event Types
int	Turn=	Will cause this event to activate before the nth turn (starting from turn 0 being the first).
int	Retries=	Causes the event to activate if the number of attempts is equal to or higher than this number. Allows additional events to occur in silver and bronze medal missions (bronze = 1, silver = 4).
int	Text_String_Index=	The string index to use for event type 10.
bool	EventEnd=	Used as a final dummy event to signify the end of the list of events. Not sure if the game likes this being absent or not.
int	PlaceWeapon_Bonus_Points=	The number of points you get for collecting the weapon crate.
int	PlaceWeapon_Bonus_TurnExtension=	The extension to your turn time for collecting the weapon crate.
int	PlaceWeapon_Bonus_RoundExtention=	Appears in official mission files but does nothing, even if you fix the typo.
int	PlaceWeapon_XPosition=	X position of weapon crate.
int	PlaceWeapon_YPosition=	Y position of weapon crate.
int	PlaceWeapon_OnGround=	1 if the weapon crate spawns on the ground beneath the coords (much faster, please do this) or 0 if it falls from the coords.
int	PlaceWeapon_Contents=	The weapon ID that is in the crate.
bool	PlaceWeapon_Marked=	1 if the weapon crate is marked - ie important for sequences.
bool	PlaceWeapon_Vital=	1 if the weapon crate is vital. Destroying a vital crate ends the mission apparently.
int	PlaceWeapon_Ammo=	The ammunition of the weapon in the crate, -1 for infinite.
int	PlaceHealth_Bonus_Points=	The number of points you get for collecting the health crate.
int	PlaceHealth_Bonus_TurnExtention=	The extension to your turn time for collecting the health crate.
int	PlaceHealth_Bonus_RoundExtention=	Appears in official mission files but does nothing, even if you fix the typo.
int	PlaceHealth_XPosition=	X position of health crate.
int	PlaceHealth_YPosition=	Y position of health crate.
int	PlaceHealth_OnGround=	1 if the health crate spawns on the ground beneath the coords or 0 if it falls from the coords.
int	PlaceHealth_Health=	Amount of health in the crate. Uses the mission default if not present. Note that setting this to zero will not use the default, but make the health crate restore 0 health.
bool	PlaceHealth_Marked=	1 if the health crate is marked - ie important for sequences.
bool	PlaceHealth_Vital=	1 if the health crate is vital. Destroying a vital crate ends the mission apparently.
int	PlaceTarget_XPosition=	X position of target.
int	PlaceTarget_YPosition=	Y position of target.
int	PlaceTarget_OnGround=	1 if the target spawns on the ground beneath the coords or 0 if it falls from the coords.
int	PlaceTarget_TargetType=	0 for normal, 1 for old woman. In WWP, 2 is invisible, not sure if this is the case in WA.
int	PlaceTarget_FallSpeed=	Fall speed for the target.
int	PlaceTarget_Bonus_Points=	The number of points you get for destroying the target.
int	PlaceTarget_Bonus_TurnExtention=	The extension to your turn time for destroying the target.
int	PlaceTarget_Bonus_RoundExtention=	Appears in official mission files but does nothing, even if you fix the typo.
bool	PlaceTarget_Marked=	1 if the target is marked - ie, important for sequences.
int	PlaceMine_XPosition=	X position of mine.
int	PlaceMine_YPosition=	Y position of mine.
int	PlaceMine_OnGround=	1 if the mine spawns on the ground beneath the coords or 0 if it falls from the coords.
int	PlaceDrum_XPosition=	X position of drum.
int	PlaceDrum_YPosition=	Y position of drum.
int	PlaceDrum_OnGround=	1 if the drum spawns on the ground beneath the coords or 0 if it falls from the coords.
int	SetEventTurn_TurnNumber=	(Turn number to skip to + 1) for event 12.

10. The [Sequence####] Group

Sequence groups are always executed in numerical order from the start of the mission, but sequences in a given turn are always executed after events (in case the first event is "pause executing sequence"). Some event IDs cause the sequence to pause execution until some condition is fulfilled. Note that it is only possible to have one sequence running at a time, unlike WWP where you can have at least two.

All options are mostly identical to ones in Event groups; the only difference is the way in which they are executed. Despite the Turn= parameter appearing in official missions, it does not work for sequences. To get a sequence to start after a certain turn, you will need to use a Pause Sequence Event and then a Resume Sequence event on the turn you want it to start.

Event types

Here are the possible values and their functions for the TypeOfEvent settings in events and sequences. Do bear in mind that some of them are only particularly useful in one or the other, but the types appear to be consistent between them which is nice.

ID	Function
1	Place weapon crate.
2	Place health crate.
3	Place target.
4	Trigger nuke.
5	Trigger Earthquake.
6	Trigger Armageddon.
7	Trigger sudden death.
8	Wait until no more "marked" crates (for sequences).
9	Wait until no more "marked" targets (for sequences).
10	Display Morse code message.
11	This has an unknown effect in WA. One mission tries to use it to display text but it doesn't appear to work. Requisitioned in WWP as "pause for (n) 10ths of a second" (this isn't implemented in WA), so if it does do something in WA, it's probably unimportant.
12	Set Next Turn Number. Not used in any missions, and works a little glitchily - it actually sets the turn number to one less than the value supplied. Also note that because the turn number changes instantly, remaining events for the current turn will no longer execute and instead the game will start executing events for the turn number that it changes to.
13	Place mine.
14	Place oil barrel.
15	Restart sequence.
16	Terminate mission (= win if WinningCondition=3 and possibly others).
17	Pause sequence
18	Resume sequence

Weapon Strings

The weapon settings in a mission may be configured individually for each team through use of the Ammo_ and Delay_ prefixes, followed by a weapon string and settings. For example, Ammo_Batrope=-1 would set a team's ninja rope supply to infinite, and Delay_Bazooka=2 would apply a 2 turn bazooka delay.

The following is a list of weapon strings. You always have an infinite supply of Skip go and Surrender, so supplying ammo is unnecessary. It is currently unknown if it is possible to add Aqua Sheep directly to the inventory (but they can be provided in weapon crates, which is the method used in the official missions) - it appears to be implemented with the AquaSheep string, but in rudimentary tests this has not worked.

Hot Key	Column #1	Column #2	Column #3	Column #4	Column #5
Util.	JetPack	LowGravity	FastWalk	LaserSight	Invisibility
F1	Bazooka	HomingMissile	Mortar	HomingPigeon	SheepLauncher
F2	Grenade	ClusterBomb	BananaBomb	Axe	Earthquake
F3	Shotgun	Handgun	Uzi	Minigun	Longbow
F4	FirePunch	DragonBall	Kamikaze	SuicideBomber	Prod
F5	Dynamite	Mine	Sheep	SuperSheep	MoleBomb
F6	AirStrike	NapalmStrike	PostalStrike	MineStrike	MoleSquadron
F7	BlowTorch	PneumaticDrill	Girder	BaseballBat	BridgeKit
F8	Batrope	Bungee	Parachute	Teleport	Scales
F9	SuperBananaBomb	HolyHandGrenade	FlameThrower	SallyArmy	MBBomb
F10	PetrolBomb	Skunk	MingVase	SheepStrike	CarpetBomb
F11	MadCow	OldWoman	Donkey	NuclearBomb	Armageddon
F12			SelectWorm	Freeze	MagicBullet

You can also add the instant effect utilities to your inventory with the following weapon strings, which will correctly take effect for the opening turn only, regardless of how many ammo you give. The exception is Crate Spy, which will last for the entire mission, as expected.

• Damagex2
• CrateSpy
• DoubleTime
• CrateShower

Text_String_Index

The transition messages you get during missions are hardcoded into the game and are referred to via a number. The following table summarises which numbers refer to which messages (in English).

Notes:

• There is a typo in-game for messages number 22 and 42, they contain a carriage return arrow at the end.
• Strings 120 - 130 are the names of the CPU teams usable in missions.
• There may be other non-empty strings beyond 130, but they are unlikely to be useful for the purpose of being used during a mission.

PlaceWeapon_Contents

When placing a weapon or utility crate you need to refer to its contents by a number rather than a name. The following list indicates which number refers to which crate contents:

ID	Contents
0	None (This is a specially defined "empty" crate)
