I've decided to lower the Win Bonus. So long as no-one gets more than 30 kills it will be fine. I doubt anyone will do that. The benefit is it will be easier to get championship points, which seems fair considering there's some random elements to the game. Otherwise losers could all be on 1 champ point.

Win Bonus = 180,000 - (rounds x 30,000)
Score = (FOR x 1,000) + (DIF x 100) + AVG

Rainbow = 60,000 + 17,000 + 400 + 31 = 77,431
The Farm = 12,000 - 300 + 22 = 11,722
Dan = 10,000 - 400 + 33 = 9,633
Stoned = 8,000 - 800 + 48 = 7,248





This means that a player who wins quickly in 2 rounds is always higher than someone who wins in 3, and so on for each number of rounds. Players that lose are at the bottom. Then players are separated by number of kills, then difference of kills/losses, then shot accuracy.

Opponent teams difficulty = 7, 5, 4 (Mystery, Worms, Rainbow) - need to check this.

At one stage in 2022, we had three mods in the mods corner all working together, John, Biscuit and myself. Worms DC was almost voted in, so Biscuit came up with the idea of trying to score it. The formula is very much like the normal Sensi/Speedball format, based on Goals For and Against. With this game, the default victory score for completion of the game is 2, which means teams must win 2 games in order to win the event. So games could be 2-5 matches in length, and that's why we need both screen shots, to see your match total. If you win in fewer games/matches, less points will be removed from the win bonus. You get the win bonus if a star appears next to your team, which means you won overall.

FAQ
===
Can I use V1.0?
Yes, I guess they are the same game, but V1.05 is a bug fixed version, so all attempts have been made to provide this version to play. If you have V1.0 installed on HDD, just download the update ADF and copy those files over.

How do I install the sound files?
The optional sound files are diretories full of alternative samples. Simply make a backup of the Default folder in TWSAMPLES (e.g DEFAULT.BAK) and then copy all of the new samples over into the default directory. You will still need some of the original samples, as not all of them have been updated in the sample packs, but you can over-write any existing ones. To switch off the samples, rename the default directory to something else, and rename default.bak to DEFAULT.

Can I type codes into the main menu?
The short answer is No. There are many codes listed on Lemon, and we don't have a clue if these do things to the game, other than where mentioned. They could do unexpected things. So you can type Version, Boing and Pong only.

Do I have to change my team to my name?
No, you can call your team anything, except to call them: Mystery, Rainbow or Worms. You can name your players to anything too.

I cant find my new team!
Keep pressing Next until it shows up.

How can I enter several new teams?
Just fill in the details of team 1, click new, then team 2, click new etc. You can see if your teams are listed by pressing the Teams button, then click exit to return to team entry.

And here's video showing my shaky performance I haven't played Worms DC for a long time, although it's such a fun game:

Bought this game just when it was released. We did draw some own maps too, but haven't been able to locate those anymore.

I think the completion star is enough for me.

Well done Mailman. 14 FORs is really great.

Last few days to play Worms!

This round is over!

Worms Directors Cut:
1st - volvomatt(LA)
2nd - pasquale (LA)

Well done volvomatt on an astonishing victory. Pasquale was unbelievably strong, and well done Bobby in on fine 3rd place.

That's it now for a few weeks. I'll post the summer break round shortly.
