CTF is a modification of the original CTF game (see http://worms2d.info/Capture_The_Flag). Instead of destroying the flag, you have to grab it and come back to your base without losing it.

Gameplay

PX CTF's gameplay doesn't have anything to do with the regular CTF. It's based on attack/defense and strategy.

Worms and Respawn

Each team is supposed to have 3 worms.
What is gonna happen if we kill the whole other team ?
Killing the other team won't do anything, since there's a respawn system.
After dying, your worm will respawn on his fort after 2 turns.

Respawn system logic

Let's suppose we have 2 teams, each one with 3 worms.

• Red team worms are called : Sherlock, Holmes and Watson.
• Blue team worms are called : Obiwan, Yoda and Skywalker .

Case 1

• It's Sherlock's turn. Thinking it's a good idea, he attacked Obiwan with a grenade. Sadly, Obiwan was protected with a Magnet and the grenade came back to Sherlock . He died.
• Obiwan killed Holmes with the Laser.
• Watson will play 2 turns.
• Sherlock and Holmes respawn on their fort (but they don't play yet).
• Yoda plays.
• Sherlock plays.

Case 2
The game started. Instantly, One of the players left due to a Network Drop.
The team against this player will not really get advantage because the other team will more turns than the other team.
Note that an update of the respawn system will come and the teams will be able to control the worms of the missing players.

Weapons

CTF's weapons panel

CTF has a variety of defense and attack weapons. There is only one weapon panel.

• Default weapons : Bazooka, Grenades, Fire punch, Prod, Parachute, Petrol, Girder, Shotgun, Uzi and Bungee aren't modified and will work like any regular W:A game.
• Health : Gives 50 extra HP and cures if the worm is sick.
• Windnade : Works like a normal Grenade, but is affected by the wind.
• GravNade : Normal Grenade but more affected by the gravity.
• Bowling Ball : See http://worms2d.info/Bowling_Ball
• Friendly Mines : Mines that will only explode if an enemy worm goes near it.
• Sticky Mine : Mines that are launched and sticked to walls. They have very small radius and damage. 2 shots.
• Magnet : Attracts or repels magnetic weapons (grenade, bazooka, mines, etc..).
• Magnetic Missile : Launches a magnets (used to make aiming to a specified place easy for example).
• Barrel Launcher : Launches a barrel. What else? NESPRESSO
• Auto-Ballista : Attacks enemy's with arrows. Can easily be destroyed with laser.
• Smoke Grenade : Especially useful on CTF with FOW. It disorients target for a few rounds.
• Toxic Grenade : Makes the targets sick.

Is the girder destructable ?
Yes it is, even if the map is not destructible.
Feel free to change the weapons on this gamemode. But one tip : do not add the Hang Glider and Jump : they're really overpowered on CTF after testing.

WxW is a modification of WA original WxW (see http://worms2d.info/Wall-X-wall_shopper). Main thing that differs: Walls change color when touched.

Gameplay

Turn every wall from red to green, by touching them. Added px-weapons add a little spicy touch to the game too.

Jump Race consists of launching your worms with the Jump Weapon to reach the end. You've got the Jump (weapon) which will launch your worm like a Bazooka.

Dodge! is racing PX Scheme. It is about dodging projectiles.
Made by Zed.

Gameplay

You need to dodge from various projectiles, using only JetPack!
On the way to the boss ull pass through more than 20 different waves.
Each wave is 10 seconds long.
This is very hard gamemode, its almost impossible to beat in one try without tool-assist.
Bugs: dont use GodMode, dont go too near to right wall.

About the Metal system
Each team will get 10 metal at the start. Metal is resourse used by Engineer to build stuff.
You can see number of the metal in the weapon table (for each class). Metal is updating at the start and the end of the turns.
You cant waste metal directly - even if the number in the weapon table will decrease, after updating it will be the same.
If you havent enough metal to build, your worm will just skip his turn.

For MapEditor, ive added MetalSpawnPoints, which will drop Metal Boxes, which can be taken by each worm. Every Metal Box contains 2 metal.
Metal box will respawn after 5 turns after being taken.
Bugs: Dont use select worm (dont press tab) if ur weapon table is open..

Highlander lib is easy to customize to any set of weapons you want to play with.

Gameplay

Each worm gets his own weapon and non-weapon item. He only has 1x of each but both items are replenished at the start of each turn.
You also can steal other worm's items by killing them. This way your worm will grow stronger and stronger, until only 1 remains!
There's a lot of different Highlander schemes with different weapons.

Indy map.
Code by Zed.

Alien
Starts weak, with no attack abilities, but has a power to become unbeatable as the time passes..
Goal: Defeat marines and not let them survive until help arrives.

Levels (you gain 1 each turn):
1) Mutate - basic passive ability, reveals new abilities at the start of the next turn, adds 25 hp.
2) Fastwalk
3-4) Empty level
5) Climb - allows to crawl upon walls and ceiling. Doesnt run off after the end of turn. Use arrow keys after activation. Hard to control.
6-7) Empty level
8) Bite - basic attack ability, deals 10 damage
9-10) Empty level
11) Carapace - alien gains 100 more hp.
12-13) Empty level
14) Acid spit - destroys mines, deals 25 damage from range
15-16) Empty level
17) Slash - attack ability, deals 50 dmg

Marines
Starts with some weapons, can gather more at different locations on the ship.
Goal: Defeat alien or call for help (you can do it at the Combay). After you did that, you should survive until help arrives (25 turns).

Starting weapons:
Knife - deals 10 damage
Plasma Pistol - deals 10 damage from range

Weapons that can be obtained on the ship:
Friendly Stun Mine - deals no damage, but stunning alien until the end of his turn. Alien cant move but still can attack everything that in range. Cant stun Marines at all. Has 0 timer.
To prevent Mine abusing, it primes only after 5 seconds after the start of alien turn (so you cant place it on the enemy head).
Grenade - standart
Plasma Rifle - deals 25 damage per shot, can shoot 2 times.
Jet-Pack
Medkit - heals 25 hp.

Also there are some devices on the ship, that can be used to your advantage. To use them, you have special ability called "Use Terminal".
Elevators - can be used by both sides. Elevators has two Terminals at the both ends to control it.
Communication Terminal - can be used by marines to call for help. After help was called Emergency Squad will arrive after 25 turns.
Equipment Fabricator - can be used by marines to get random weapon each turn.

Tactics (or how i see it should be played):
Marines should either start seeking alien as fast as possible to kill it, or run to the Combay to call for help and then play defensively.
Alien should hide until hes powerful enough to kill all marines.
Also you should remember where all important locations are, coz you know, with darkness mode enabled there is not much to see.

Not exactly a gamemode, but ill post it anyway. Just a small fun pxscheme that makes dead worms zombies.
Zombies have distinctive green skin and 100 hp.
They can smell you and see you in some distance around them.
They also can jump really high, and can hit you with their claws, dealing 30 damage.
Walljump and Bhopjump from parkour mod with some changes included in this lib. Press Enter near wall to walljump, press Backspace near floor to bunny-hop.

You can play any scheme with it (imagine shopper, that would be hardcore!) and on any map.
You can add the lib to any pxscheme.
Updated, so it should work online just fine.
Code by Zed.
Link: [9]
Fixed lib - no crash once every worm is a zombie.

Its a Race scheme. I've added to worm some jump-based abilities, that you need to use in race.

Jump-Abilities

Wall-Jump (Key to use: ENTER)
If the wall is close enough, the worm will make an additional jump in the air.

Bunny-Hop (BACKSPACE)
If the floor is close, the worm will make another jump with additional X speed. Can be used only while sliding.

Slide (SPACE)
Worm getting "Slide" state, allowing him to increase and keep SpX for some time.
If the worm used Slide while sliding, he will get Flying state, that allows him to stop upon connecting with ground.

At the start of ur turn you can read KeyHints in the chat, to remember what keys are doing what.
Round time: 50 min
Turn time: 20 sec
Indi map.
=================
I've made three maps so far.
Code by Zed.
Link: [10]

Current rules (might change if i update this):
2 teams.
Turn Time is 20 seconds for Hider, unlimited (currently) for seekers.
Team 1 is hider, 1 worm. His goal is to survive X turns (depends on the map.).
Team 2 are Seekers, 4 worms. Their goal is to touch hider before he wins.
Team 2 always starts first. If Hider started 1st skip the turn pls.

Team 1 controlled in classic WA way.
Team 2 is controlled via giving them "orders", which will be executed automatically during hider's turn (so he will dodge in "real time").
Team 2 wins when one of the seeker's worms touched hider.

Info: Number of a team depends on it's place in lobby (eg highest one will be Team 1). As far as i remember at least. Colors might affect it too but im not sure. Just use red and blue to be sure.

Map is complex. Destructable. No mines, barrels. GodMode. No fall damage. Crates with random weapons will be dropped.

Orders will be made in a chain and will be executed one after another. Orders will be placed using weapons based on homing missile/teleport. Each worm will have their own chain of orders. Hider cant see the orders that were placed.

Parkour is allowed - walljumps only. No lose of control because of falling (so bungee will still work).
Weapons of hider:
Bungee - 2
Rope - 1
Fast Walk - 1
BlowTorch - 2

Commands of seekers:
Basic movement: move left/right.
Basic jumps: enter left/right, double backspace left/right.
enter can be used in conjunction with wall jump.
Tricks: repeated backspace, stop
Misc: remove latest command, select worm.

At the end of the hider's turn, all orders are removed.
It also recommended to hider not to look at the map during seekers turn, so you dont know what to expect.
Currently the lib is kind of wip, ill probably update this gamemode.
2 maps by me.

Some tricks:
You can place two orders in one place one after another to achieve some interesting results: you can make singular jump by placing Jump and Move commands consecutively into each other.

Additional Info: currently its recommended to rely on trust between players during a game of HNS, because there still ways to look at the map for Hider during Seeker's turn.
