Updated sprite

yeah it changes team color

-When you release the Helicopter on Safe Mode on the water, it'll just go straight out of borders.
fixed
-When you let the fuel just run out, a Jet Pack will appear instead of a Parachute.
fixed

I am not sure if this will work over WormNet if anyone reports issues i will reduce size of helicopter sprite and see if that helps.
The image is large because it removes any glitchy artifact lines from appearing. This should be done to a lot of PX libs in my opinion.

Ouch, you replaced my custom-made wormy heli graphics with that generic heli thing? xD

Haha raffie, that sucks for you. We can only hope this library does not gain popularity :lol:

Don't disregard it by looking at the image i attached; it does look very well in-game. You have more animations and team colors.
plus i have something easy to edit for mine and others liking. I had plans on adding a worm in cockpit to make it more worms-like but mixing 2D with 3D made me decide against it, have not tested yet tough so it can look either way.

Main reason i changed was because your sprite had the worms 2x the size of the other worms!

I don't know...this new sprite is over the fuel so you kinda can't see how much fuel there's left...

Dont tell me you too prefer the weird ass mega worm sprite! Dont you like colors!!
Thats it!
I'm not doing any more helicopter updates.
Feel free to edit back the sprite and upload it here

im not doing it

I'm not saying I prefer the old one! I'm just saying that the sprite is over the fuel. I mean, anybody who uses the Helicopter wants to know how much fuel there's left to know whether to use Safe Mode or not.
I like the rework! The colours are pretty cool! But that problem is not a minor thing. I think the fuel should be a little upper or the sprite should be a little smaller.

Please don't drop the project! I was really looking forward to it! :cry:

Made it so first 100 frames you cant explode by collision.

Added new kind of fire, the blue kerosene flame AKA "hot water". It will last for 3 turns. It will not hurt your worm or end turn if you get burnt by it.
It is released when you crash helicopter (hold CTRL).

I will try fix the jet fuel display position ie. the amount of fuel displayed later today.

Edit: During testing different flame type i found about about a flame which eats trough terrain VERY quick, could this be made in to a super flamethrower?

Maybe because the helicopter windows used magnifying glass?

I don't get the "Hot Water" usage. Is it supposed to just disturb doing your turn? Or just some random feature?
Also, something that would be very cool is that when you release the Heli on Safe Mode, other Worms could still use it. Like what raffie did with his UFO: http://px.worms2d.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2088 and the video that Zed showed up is exactly what I'm thinking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQIxN4PzreI&feature=youtu.be
