FOREWORM
If you haven't guessed, this is a custom level for Team17/Oceans Worms
game. If you haven't bought Worms yet, then go do it now, coz you can't
play this level without it.
You've heard of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, yes? Well, here for your
delight and pleasure is my rendition of the afore mentioned garden. However,
theres more ways to die than hanging in Worms hence the bizarre name.
The level should hold special significance to those that do rally to the
bray of the Concrete Donkey and the glug of BananaFish.
INSTALLATION
First of all copy Worms disk 1 to a blank disk (see your Amiga
User Manual as supplied with your Amiga for how this is acheived).
Once done, remove the orignal Worm disk 1 and type the following
into a Shell window:
rename Copy_of_TW1 TW1
copy TLBKG2.2225.WRM to Copy_Of_TW1:TWCUSTOM
Now reboot with your copy of worms disk 1 in df0: and follow on
screen prompts as usual (only, the copy of disk 1 should be treated
as worms disk 1. Keep the original safe.
Trouble shooting:
Disk 1 stops loading but Worms fails to load: This is probably
because your original disk did not copy correctly. Try following
the above steps again.
The level won't load: More than likely a lack of memory. Try
rebooting with both mouse buttons depressed (keeping them both
held down), select boot options and then disable all devices apart
from df0:. Select Okay, Place your copy of Worms disk 1 in Df0:
and press on the button marked Boot with Statup-Sequence. Failing
that, buy some extra memory (it's fairly cheap these days you know).
Worms crashes for no reason: probably memory shortage again.
Who knows? :|
USE OF TLBKG2
Right, once Worms has started, do all the usual things like player
selection etc. And then select Start Game. Now, while a random level
is being generated press the right mouse button. Generation will stop
at this point and the level "key" will vanish. Now type "TLBKG2" (no
quotes) and after a short pause the level will load. If you get a
message to the effect of "Need more memory" then read the installation
trouble shooting bits for a few tips on how to cure this.
If all goes well, the level should present itself. Be warned, this is
a nightmare of a level if your one of these people who lives on the edge.
The name of the game here is kill as many worms in the first few rounds.
Ive had 5 kills from one bazooka shot.
Talking of names, before you callously change the filename STOP. The 4
digits before .WRM are used to dictate the levels gravity, friction, sky
colour and water colour. If you want things to get real exciting change
the level name to TLBKG2.1125.WRM (thereby reducing gravity and friction).
The digits dont need to be typed in when playing Worms, so don't worry
about noting them down.
If you want to fiddle with the filename some more heres a key to explain
the various attribs:
filename.ABCD.wrm where A = gravity Lo=1 Def=3 Hi=5
B = friction Lo=1 Def=3 Hi=5
C = sky colour 1 to 9
D = water colour 1 to 9
Before i forget to mention, this level was created using Brilliance. Long
live Brilliance, death to DPaint ;)
SPECIAL MSG TO WORMS from hAVoC (Me) of #amiga fame:
RE: Omnipresent Concrete Donkeys
Wotcha,
This level is my offering of penance asking for forgiveness after
uttering that Injection-Moulded Mules might yet offer comfort to those
not blessed with any POP Donkeys :) Notice the two donkeys at each end
of my synthetic wonder representing that above natural donkeys there
exists concrete ones of higher purpose. The gaps is a microcosm of that
chasm which all who follow the path of lime based brayers must cross to
sit beside, nay on, that beast of high significance, that beast that doeth
baked beans bless, whilst below, a large expanse of water pays tribute to
the mighty Bananafish, may he swim and back flip forever. :)
hAVoC
Okay, now for the boring bit (which may seem like over-kill, but I
believe in covering myself from person(s) who seem to take pleasure in
exploiting other peoples work).
