ProjectX for Steam W:A now possible!!!! - AUTOMATIC INSTALLER by reituz!

[Obn3g0n]

This is an automatic ProjectX (PX) installer which downgrades your WA version from the newest patch (3.7.2.1) to the older one (3.6.31.0) required for PX.

The installer works for the Steam and the CD version of the game.

PX is pre-patched, and includes some libs, useful Wormkit modules (like Rubberworm and KawooshKick), and an uninstaller which will revert your WA back to the version you had before.

Note: PX is a 3rd party add-on for WA which drastically expands the game's capabilities. It adds many new custom weapons/utilities, game options, and basically unlimited possibilities. It's the best thing since sliced bread.

Until now Steam users have been completely unable to use PX.[/b]

Only 4 Steps:

1. Download installer and run as administrator. You must change the install location to your WA directory. http ://yadi. sk/d/BHT39bgQL9b4x (remove spaces - Steam is censoring the link)

2.Run LoadWormKitModules_Enabled.reg, found in the Tweaks folder, which is inside the WA directory.

Of cource - I <3 worms2d.info
TY for help, but don't bother - I'll eventually find the error (I'm pretty firm on linux…) - and if necessary update info on worms2d.info
If problems persists - tus-wa ^^

btw: I already had it up and running, but PX always crashed inside wine – and I thought "fresh start". Well… and no bitter "pills" to swallow, if I ever have to post some ERRORLOG.txt ;)

ok, i dit it!

but now black screen :(
i have windows 8.1

what can i do?

[Obn3g0n]

To fix black screen install wkWndMode (window mode): http://www93.zippyshare.com/v/9WAGfkIu/file.html

Extract to WA folder. Then make sure 'Load Wormkit Modules' in advanced settings is enabled. If you can't get to the settings menu because the game crashes, go to your WA directory, to the Tweaks folder, and run 'LoadWormKitModules_Enabled.reg'.

Edited main post with this link.

[Daveman]

Thank you very much,
Have followed your advice. However, the game continues. I'm stuck in the main menu.
However, the screen freezes in window mode.
PXinstaller = check
Your zippyshare files = check
Tweaks folder -> LoadWormKitModules_Enabled.reg = check

Do I need additional wormkitDS?

[StepS]

Load Wormkit Modules does not exist on 3.6.31.0.

[Obn3g0n]

You will need to find StepS and get help from him. He is the guy who writes all these window mode patches. I don't know how to fix the Windows 8.1 problem since I use Windows 7. It is a known issue unfortunately. You can send him a message on tus-wa.com which he checks frequently, or in time he will probably see these posts here.

The current version of WA has much better (ie. perfect) Windows 8.1/10 support - but that means no ProjectX - only Rubberworm. If all you want to do is play the game, that is.

Edit: LOL 3 minutes too slow.
Edit #2: As per StepS suggestion try installing Wormkit. I forgot that it's not built-in. Keep the plugins you installed already, extract this to your WA folder, and load the game via Wormkit.exe: http://worms.thecybershadow.net/wormkit/wormkit.zip

[StepS]

If you want to fix the performance/compatibility problems in ddraw, try the ddraw compatibility mode enabler module that is still here[files.steps.club] (and remove wndmode). Put in the game dir. Note that in 3.6.31.0 and below this will only fix the frontend, the game will have to rely on ProjectX or wndmode for the full performance. For 3.6.31.2b and up, this fixes ddraw performance both in the frontend and in-game (software rendering).

[Daveman]

Ok ok ok ok ok
State of things :
Have the ddraw.dll parked.

I have GfxUpdate installed and then the "px080.rar".
Now it works finally! Thank you StepS and Obn3g0n!


The good old PX CTF and PX Rope Race Times are back<3

Yeah but.. Have you contacted Entuser?

So. Did anyone contact him for the source code? It would be awesome if the source code could be obtained from him and updated to support the latest WA version. Downgrading the game and messing with different game versions does not feel like an option to me.

It feels sad that this project and its awesome weapon additions have been officially dead for so long now.

[Obn3g0n]

I've tried my best to contact Entuser but he doesn't check his old accounts/emails, and he never comes online on Worms. StepS was able to contact him once I believe but Entuser said the source code is such a mess nobody would be able to understand it. I think that is a poor excuse and it's just a case of excessive modesty and/or perfectionism.

It's time... please Entuser, release the source code for Project X. Can't believe I made this thread 4.5 years ago..

[Jarzka]

Okay, good to hear about this.

Even if the source was a real mess, it's much better than nothing. We could refactor it to make it more maintainable or use it as a basis for a possible re-creation of Project X. So please Enfuser, if you read this, release the source code.
