I approve of everything this mod has to offer. Just gotta get past the few glitches. Never the less, awesome work.

Right, don't give up. I wanted to contribute a map to it at the time, but the fact you stoped working on it was a sad thing to face.

As a long time fan of worms I'm actually excited to play this, hope to see it up and running in the future!

Hopefully my machine can handle it at a decent framerate!

I'm able to keep a steady framerate, but sometimes, It will go to a crawl for whatever reason..

Either way, I'm pumped about it. Make it happen TMC :p

That's awesome. Lots of 3D models or floors?

Right well, I don't know which came first, Tanks or Worms

But for the inbetween, Nightfang had created this little project when he worked for Best Buy with 2 other coders, and it's a f2p client that is exactly this project except well... With Tanks

Pretty much I'm asking is this what you're going for? From what I remember when testing wormsdoom or the earlier alphas, it felt mainly sluggish and unnatural, but then again what do I know??

Well it certainly is unnatural for the doom engine, but there's only so much I can do about that. It's certainly a change of pace from first-person deathmatch

edit: Checked out your project, looks like an updated Scorched Earth - not quite the same game but similar premise definitely. I think the original worms was inspired by tanks/scorched earth

If anything, it is still buggy, yes we know that. Don't start bawwing on the Server, and IF you get stuck in the Ground, just Use the Teliporter. (yes I suck at spelling, Deal w/ It) Also the Railgun is horribly Broken, you can thank Zandronum for that.. or is it TMC's fault..

I think railgun broken is a combination of my bad code and monster railgun function bad code. I can try to fix but might require an entirely different method to get it to aim/pitch correctly

Much respect TMC for the hard work you put into this, it's v. impressive.

Thanks, you can show your support by playing the game and keeping it active on the serverlist :P

You should try to find more coders to assist. :>

I have tried, Tribeam is helping a little but the only other assistance I've had from other people is borrowing code snippets and adapting them. Most people are frightened by my unwieldly turn script and untidy code :(

Some people been asking about the HUD size problems (including me when I first played), maybe you should take note of this.

If I weren't busy with other things, I'd say "Call me the cleaner".


But I am busy with other things, so I won't say that. :P
