File Format (Worms World Party)

The team files created by Worms World Party are very similar to those of Worms Armageddon, but differ naturally to store new features like Points for Weapons settings and the fort of the team, aswell as bigger arrays for mission times and stats since Worms World Party offers more of them.

Worms World Party stores team files with a WWP extension.

Points for Weapons Indices

The indices pointing to weapons in the Points for Weapons array mentioned above are the same as those of a Game scheme file, but only up to the Invisibility utility, which Suicide Bomber and Worm Select follow (as those have higher indices in a scheme file due to being sorted into it as super weapons). This yields:

Position	Weapon Name
0	Bazooka
1	Homing Missile
2	Mortar
3	Grenade
4	Cluster Bomb
5	Skunk
6	Petrol Bomb
7	Banana Bomb

Animated graves

W:A and WWP allows the user to select one of six animated graves from the user interface. However, it's possible to set the grave animation to certain other sprites with external software (for example, using a team editor such as TeamED).

This is possible by setting the Team Grave value in the team file to a value higher than 5. The game calculates the sprite index for the team grave by reading the value from the team file, and adding it to the index of the first grave. Using a value higher than 5 causes the game to use sprites which follow the graves in the game's internal sprite list:

... some other sprites ...
0	grave1.spr
1	grave2.spr
2	grave3.spr
3	grave4.spr
4	grave5.spr
5	grave6.spr
6	flame1.spr
7	flame2.spr
8	petrol-1.spr
... more sprites ...

Note that this only allows selecting a grave from a predefined set. It is impossible to have a custom animated grave.

Be warned that using an animated grave (especially a large sprite which can hide terrain details, such as the Concrete Donkey or MB Bomb) is found annoying by many, and is usually frowned upon.
