Hi to everyone !
I decided to publish today this topic called " Let's Make IT " .
You are probably wondering what do I mean with that. I'll explain it in details.

I thought that we ( Active members from this Forum ) should make an expansion pack, total conversion or just an update to Worms 4 Mayhem.
Every day, I stumble upon various tweaks from various sites. Some are good, some are bad but they only change a tiny bit of the whole game.
There were few packs like : " Worms 4 Innovation " , " Worms 4 Extreme Fusion " and Draven made " Worms 4 Rock " .

I would like us to try and do something like that. I believe, if we all try it and work together that we will create awesome update for this game.

How do we do it ?

I thought that 4-8 of us worked on that project. We should be working on Tweaks Folder, Hud Folders, Map Folder and scripts.
We will all have different roles in Project. Some of us will be working on tweaks, while the others , for example, on Graphics.

First of all, we should make suggestions about changes here. What should be changed and how.
After we discussed and accepted suggestions, we would begin to gather all resources we need.
Yeah, this is the hardest part. We change the game Data, experiment and test it.
After it's done, we will have all files packed in .exe and submitted online for download

There is no time-limit for this. You can just do it when you have free time and when you feel like it.

So, what do you think about this?

I think its a good idea. I always wanted to develop a HUD like the one started by kilburn in this thread
I can do HUD and tweaking, but i don't know anything about scripts or pretty much anything else :/

That's more than enough Just, we need more people

is there a way to upgrade the graphics through an xom editor or something like that?

I have no idea. I think editing graphics would be enough We should just do it in a " cool " way.

haha ok. what kind of HUD would you like? a cartoon style one like kilburns? or what?

It doesn't matter, I just want it to be unique

ok, but unless the weapons will do the same thing and will be named the same, i will need to know what they do so i can change the picture and name on the weapons panel

After suggestions we will know, but before that we need just more people on this project.

no one else wants to join?

I can work with 3D modeling in Maya

Well I know models for W4M can be made in 3ds max. But since Team 17 used Maya to make their maps, I assume that they were made with it as well. So it might be possible to make 3d models for W4M in Maya. I hope so.

So that is three of us, now I would suspect No Fear and/or Draven would join this as well. So that would make 4-5 of us. Atm, for now I would prefer working with someone and not all by myself.

Copy below and tell your skills.
Tweaking:
Scripting:
Map making:
Modeling:
Hud making:
Landscape texturing:

If I missed anything that seems important, just say so below.


Tweaking: ok to great, it depends.
Scripting: I don't have much experience, when I go in the scripts folder I come out with who knows what results.
Map making: Good-great
Modeling: Never done it
Hud making: Never made a hud before, but I can try.
Landscape texturing: As you see, I have made a texture tweak before, but none of the textures were made by me. They were taken from texture sites or games.

I'm not good at figuring out files, so if someone can figure out a way to make the model work in Maya, I'll do the rest.

tweaking: good. very good with ideas
HUD: very good, and I have all the programs
modeling: I'm a beast haha
maps, landscape texturing, and scripting: don't know how

here is an example of some modeling work i have done:
