Weapons Menu
The Weapons Menu allows you to set preferences for each individual weapon.
It also allows you to set some general options concerning weapons and First
Aid crates:
STOCKPILING
A Stockpiling game carries remaining weapons forward into the following
round. When Stockpiling is enabled, new supplies are NOT delivered every
round. You can only get further supplies from crates which, thankfully, will fall
more frequently during a Stockpiling game.
CRATE DROPS
Here you can select the regularity of crate drops. You can also choose which
weapons will or will not appear in the crates in the Weapon Options. Special
weapons cannot be set to appear - but look out for them!
You can, of course, turn crates off.
FIRST AID CRATES
This option allows you to vary the amount of energy restored to injured Worms
(between 10-100 units), by the First Aid Crates. You can also select None so
that no First Aid Crates will drop.
BOOBY-TRAPPED CRATES
Here you can choose whether to have booby-trapped Weapon Crates or not.
CRATE INTELLIGENCE
This setting will drop crates near to, or on the turn of, teams who are fairing
worst, helping very unfortunate and inexperienced players.
SPECIFIC WEAPON SETTINGS
The Weapons Menu also allows you to tailor the effects, strength and
availability of all weapons individually. Some weapons are kept under wraps
though and will only be seen when they are discovered in Weapon Crates.
The Weapon Menu contains a List Box of all weapons available to edit.
