User:Muzer/HB scheme changes

Here is a list of my proposed changes to HostingBuddy default schemes. It is a first draft and there's many of these schemes that I haven't played in over a decade so go easy on me, but do leave your honest feedback! Please post your comments at the bottom.

TODO

Solicit opinions from all the important places

Read through that TUS thread KRD made on schemes to see if there are any prevailing opinions that I've missed

See if I can get stats from HB itself about what modifications people actually make to schemes?

Check schemes on sites such as TUS to see what they play (not ideal as league/competitive variants have often been different to casual variants which by its very nature HB will have more of)

Proposed changes

Scheme name	WSDB of current HB scheme	Proposed changes
Battle Race	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/16	Disable Skipwalking.
Boom Race	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/11594	Overhaul scheme to convert it to Multi Shot Boom Race (since I strongly suspect nobody plays the original now that this exists). Enable Weapon use doesn't end turn, Firing doesn't pause timer, Loss of control doesn't end turn. Enable Phased Worms (enemy) worms+weapons+damage?
Bungee Race	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/11595	Set Phased Worms (enemy) and Phased Worms (allied) to Worms?
Jetpack Race	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/6685	Set Phased Worms (enemy) and Phased Worms (allied) to Worms?
Parachute Race	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/2435	Set Phased Worms (enemy) and Phased Worms (allied) to Worms?
Rope Race	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/11596	Set Phased Worms (enemy) and Phased Worms (allied) to Worms.
Big Rope Race	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/7417	Set Phased Worms (enemy) and Phased Worms (allied) to Worms. Remove banana for retreat? Reportedly the majority of games no longer do this.
TTRR	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/11597	Set Phased Worms (enemy) and Phased Worms (allied) to Worms. Should this have Loss of Control Doesn't End Turn?
Super Sheep Race	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/11598	Set Phased Worms (enemy) and Phased Worms (allied) to Worms+Weapons+Damage.
Tower Rope Race	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/3245	Set Phased Worms (enemy) and Phased Worms (allied) to Worms.
Wascar	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/6688	Set Phased Worms (enemy) and Phased Worms (allied) to Worms.
Shopper	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/4720	Nowadays shoppers appear to be played with infinite zooks and no banana crate probability. Set these options. Set 100% rope knocking in the scheme.
Bungee Shopper	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/11599	100% Rope knocking. The wiki page says that TestStuff is required but doesn't explain why, maybe enable Rope-roll drops (as from rope or jump), disable X-Impact loss of control, and enable Keep control after bumping head?
Mole Shopper	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/5050	I don't even know where to start with this one; there seem to be about twice as many opinions about this scheme as there are people who play it. Leave it as is unless there's anything universally agreed to be bad in the current scheme.
Surf Shopper	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/4720	Split into a separate scheme, with Keep control after skimming to Keep control and Rope.
Bow and Arrows	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/11600	No changes needed
Big BnA	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/4695	No changes needed
Mine Madness	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/6691	No changes needed
Capture The Flag	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/22	Disable manual placement; enable auto-place worms by ally? Would probably need teleport to be added to the scheme to allow for cleaning up of any leftover weirdness but then this would have to be a rule that people can only use it for this.
Fort	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/4430	Disable manual placement; enable auto-place worms by ally? Ditto about the teleport.
Worms Golf	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/2941	Anti-lock aim
Plop War	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/637	No changes needed
Roper	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/27	Rope knocking 100%
Sheep Fort	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/3249	Disable manual placement; enable auto-place worms by ally. This scheme already has infinite teleport so fixing placement errors shouldn't be a problem.
Walk for Weapons	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/28	No changes needed
Warmer	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/11604	Rope knocking 100%
Holy War	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/6692	No changes needed
Burning Girders	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/182	No changes needed
Ghost Knocking	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/6694	Rope knocking 100%
Darts	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/2944	Phased Worms (enemy) and Phased Worms (allied) to Worms.
Tube Trap	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/4992	No changes needed
BnG	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/20	Enable anti-lock aim to enforce the "re-aim between every shot" rule; that one seems to be pretty universally agreed upon. This scheme seems a bit dated in that it has a lot of girders in it for instance; modern BnG schemes seem to have 1 or 0 girders.
Elite	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/23	Disable rope knocking, roofing (block above), skipwalking, and the angle cheat glitch.
Team17	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/11605	Current scheme has 10 minute round time and 13px/turn water rise rate. Disabling rope knocking should be relatively uncontroversial (though some like to play this with bungee knocking). Disable roofing (block above) is a good idea too. As for girders, probably wide agreement to change to 7. Might be nice to change the water rise rate to the relatively uncontroversial 20 pixels per turn as well, if nothing else so that it can be uploaded to WSDB...
Hysteria	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/7589	Disable skipwalking and roofing (block above).
Dabble and Fidget	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/6697	No changes needed
Supersheeper	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/2451	Sheep Heaven's Gate with Explode+Odds, and enable Sheep Heaven? (Based on the discussion on the wiki page)
Aerial	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/2628	No changes needed
Abnormal	https://wsdb.fullwormage.com/3402	No changes needed

Questions

Should any of the race schemes have antisink?

Have I missed any options which would be both useful and would be more or less universally accepted in these schemes?

New schemes to add

Kaos Normal (with auto end of turn retreat)

RW Mole Shopper?

Drown Syndrome

Any other well-played RubberWorm schemes?

F-Keys schemes like F-Key Strike and Alt-F4, or is it too early to add these?
