tried to do a similar thing with stable diffusion. for some reason, they give isometric view, and not a side-scrolling view. what is this, Super Mario RPG?!

would love to see chess masters play worms, i think the turn-based strategy nature of this franchise will be familiar to them

oh hi,

there's an article about soundbanks on worms2d.info, where two sections have separate articles that transcribe and translate all the default soundbanks. Because some soundbanks derive from foreign languages, I'm still on the lookout for transcribers and translators!

the soundbanks remaining are:

• Greek (taken by Paulister) DONE
• Danish-2 (taken by Gorrororor/Tinter)
• Dutch-2
• French-2
• Italian-2 (taken by Echiko) DONE
• Spanish-2 (there are transcriptions, but no translations)
• Swedish-2 (taken by STRGRN)

if anyone is interested in helping out (even TUS guest visitors), hmu on Discord - h3oCharles#5397 (please have at least 1 mutual server with me)

can you upload these separetly, so that the preview can be seen from the site plz?

thx Komito for letting me stream that game

good lord, that one took a bit... it's 2am when the game finished, the sacrifices i have to do for content xd

thx Komito for letting me stream this

more flags

HUGE UPDATE TO THIS!

i finally figured out how to open 3D games' sound archives the proper way, which allows me to extract all W4M/WUM soundbank samples without any compression. Because of this, the soundbank is complete, with every sample in its right place without any compression artifacts anywhere. the folder name still stays as "Classic"

QuotePlease guys help us. How Can I generate 2 singular pixels on a map, each for 1 hostile worm, but without the spawn of 18 small girders above our heads? I was trying to figure it out.

right click the map preview to convert a BIT map to a png map. you can do this before the decorated state

I and Xrayez have recently toyed around with using ChatGPT to name Worms Teams, sometimes even using specified themes

for me, this idea started when I plan to host a worms tournament for participants in a polish speedrunning marathon when I needed to nerf myself in some way. the first thing I thought of, is using a team I didn't memorize a rotation for.

this initially started with me trying to recreate an already existing team "Lemon and Lime" I had by recreating it in polish, but not knowing citruses in my native language and being skeptical of synonymical overlaps, I scrapped that idea


the second attempt was trying to write a prompt in polish, and despite it being my native language, it went horribly. the first step was me trying to come up with a name, so to try to be efficient, I ask for 10 names, then picking one I let them name 8 worms afterward

the result itself wasn't that bad, besides some grammar errors and worm 1 having too long of a name, but it was fine otherwise

what made me doubt myself here was them not correcting errors I name them... again, in Polish. perhaps they are inexperienced in that language.

the next attempt was trying to generate team names with a prompt in English, again, starting with team names.
the names themselves made me confused, so the next prompt was to give lore to each name

however, I ended up scrapping this, because the themes were too similar to worms, as in the IRL animal, where I don't think this is necessary, given the teams are usually fantasy-themed (i think). also, some of the themes were akin to dark siding, which (to put it mildly) I found interesting

so, the next thread, with a slightly different prompt, and the fantasy-themed trope shows. also, given the previous thread, I found having lore to each team be useful, so I can figure out the theme of the teams easier at a glance

each worm is also given some lore as well, cuz may as well lol


overall, besides this taking two prompts, i was pretty satisfied... but i thought it could be better. so I took some time to figure out a single prompt for making one team... and i got it!

the first attempt with the new prompt ended up with a toxic theme, which I find kinda ironic. With this result, besides removing "The" from the team name, everything fits like a glove


in the same thread, I tried asking them for a chess theme (specifically about the most popular chess engine), was a little bit disappointed that they named chess pieces...

but refining the theme gave better results


trying to make a polish-themed team, the first answer was about... snakes and mythology...? to be fair, besides the names being in polish, i didn't specify myself regarding that, and I'm fully aware of that


however, asking it to give another team in the same thread... bingo.


as for Xrayez, being the local Hysteria enthusiast himself, he asked for a Hysteria-themed team, which was pretty decent




i think what really makes this fascinating, is besides the limited internal character table and 16-character limit, naming a team of worms is subjective and open-ended, making this a very interesting topic

oh, and here's the final prompt i used. after that prompt, in a new line, you can specify the theme, too
give me a name for a team for a game of Worms, along with 8 worm names, with brief lore for it. these do not have to be thematically similar to the real-life animal

what are your thoughts? do you have any team suggestions?

bit of a bummer that you'd need to do this for every default soundbank :/

might be cool for custom soundbanks tho
