 I started making Worms levels because I thought that the levels randomly
generated were not suitable for "dark side" players, like @{"me" LINK "Us"} ;)
 The first levels I saw, apart from those you get with Worms were from
a bulletin board, some even came off the aminet. These levels were
poorly designed, and looked shabby. Some were just pics stretched &
put into 4 colours.
 My first creation was "Construction" It wasn't that good, and had a
distinct "Deluxe Paint" look. It didn't use textures, it used "bricks"
instead. You might have seen it, as I uploaded it to a few of my local
bulletin boards for a reaction, which was favourable, that that I got.
 The Construction level was posted with 2 other levels, "Mines" and
"Horror" which were better. These were released before I saw any
further documentation on the subject apart from the manual.
 All these levels were created in Deluxe Paint 4 AGA. It's not brilliant
(or brilliance for that matter ;) but it's all I have :( Image FX was
also used (CU Amiga coverdisk ;).

 Try clicking on the "@{"Install" LINK "Runinstaller"}" icon... needs C= Installer present in
the system search path, but you should have that. The installer will
ask to be pointed at your "Worms" directory, and then it'll do the
work. It'll put this rather fine literature in your Worms drawer.
 Once that's done load up worms, and check the custom levels list. If
your memory is poor, write it down. Then start your game, press RMB
when it's generating the level and type the filename. Easy. ;)

 What??? No hard drive? Shame on you! Get one! Now! It will drastically
improve your Amiga! Even a tiny 100Mb drive would rule.....
 Bit easy, this. Jam this disk in your drive after you load Workbench. Then
operate the Installer, by clicking @{"here" LINK "Runinstaller"}. Make sure you have a blank,
formatted disk, that you didn't buy from Escom for 
1.89, at the ready.
Install it straight onto the root directory of the disk, NOT in a
drawer. DO NOT rename the levels in any way.
 Once that's done load up Worms, put the disk in once it has finished
loading, go to "Records" and "Change Level Disk!", the disk will load
for a bit, then "List Custom Levels". There should be new ones there.
If your memory is poor, write it down. Then start your game, press RMB
when it's generating the level and type the filename. Easy. ;)
 You should really know this if you have bought the original. Please if
you like the game, buy the original.

First, get a paint package.
Done that? Load.... Lo-res, 8 Colours, page 960x350, screen standard.
Right.... colours:
0 = Black, transparent, background colour, air.
1 = White-ish, text, graves etc..
2 = Pink, worm bodies, text.
3 = Anything, mines, crates etc.
4 = Colour 3, only lighter, for shading on mines etc.
5, 6, 7, = Anything at all. Level design colours.
NAMES! Use the format: MYNAME.1234.WRM
MYNAME = What you type to access that level.
1234 = Level variants, each number alters something on the level. There
are four numbers, one & two from 1-5, three & four from 1-9.
First no. = Gravity 1=bouncy & light 3=Normal 5=Heavy, jumping is hard.
Second no. = Friction 1=slippy 3=Normal 5=Sticky
Third no. Sky copperlist colour.
Fourth no. Sea colour.
Colours are 1=purple 2=blue 3=mauve 4=red 5=orange 6=red/brown 7=brown
            8=vomit colour 9=green.
The .WRM is the standard suffix to alert the levellist to the presence
of a custom level.
Example: MOON.1515.WRM
Type "MOON" to access. Gravity is low, you jump miles. Friction is high,
you don't slip much when shot. The sky is purple, and the sea is orange.
Have fun!!!!!

The moon levels are gravity-less and very sticky. They feature craters,
crashed spaceships, little green men, and other stuff.
 We know there is no sea on the moon, but Worms insists on having water.
To get around this, many bottles of Kia-ora orange drink were transported
to the moon, to create the setting for this level.
 The sky is purple because we like purple. ;) Mines are grey, & easy to
see. They will bounce far too.
 The friction is high on the moon! Moondust is claggy!
Remember not to jump too near water, you may go further than expected!
Also, if you dragonpunch someone, they will fly miles!

 These levels feature dancing skeletons, graves, ruined buildings, vines,
underground tombs, caves, nooses, trees, guilotines and more!
The sky and sea are both suitably nasty in colour, the gravity is normal,
but the mud is stickier than usual.

 The mines levels feature minecarts, buildings, tools, bridges and, of
course, tunnels!
 They are slippy, but gravity is normal. There are many cliffs for "Oh No"
to leap off. Use your rope here, and a sheep can be devastating, if used
wisely!
 Hiding in the tunnels will protect you from ariel attack!

 These levels are tunnel based, the computer teams do not like them. The
stone texture is better than the mines one, but there are no objects.
 It is slippy here, with high gravity. There are water traps and cliffs.
Use your ropes, but be wary, mines are hard to spot.
 Sheep may get stuck in the smaller tunnels, and you can destroy yourself
with one little error!

Mr. Lee S. Kindness, trumpet blower extrodinaire, but quickly developed
into a great level!
