New level for "Worms - Directors Cut": Conversion Level Pack #01
A fan of the classic Worms: The Director's Cut (http://hol.abime.net/1781) has recreated some of the levels of "Worms 2", "Worms Armageddon" and "Worms World Party" for the Amiga (Screenshots (http://www.juicycube.net/files/worms2conversionset01_preview.jpg)). Further "Level Packs" will follow.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this with us, x303! I have always wondered how it would look if someone converted some of the newer worlds from later Worms games to levels to use with Worms DC, but I never had the time or resources to do it myself. I am so glad someone else has done it for us, I'm going to have a lot of fun, hopefully with a friend or two, with these new levels.

Awesome!

From memory it was quite easy to make custome levels for Worms,  Just knock them up in dpaint I believe ?  Not taking anything away fro mthe conversion, this is more in reply to cammy.  Must have been a lot of work ripping the graphivs from the newer games.

Don't forget that you could actually sketch levels in-game.

Still a shame you can't play it online. Would be great to play online tournaments with loads of ppl.

Yep, you can make the levels with an Amiga paint program, as long as they're using a 16 colour palette, and the 0 pen is transparent, so 15 colours can be used.

I have never owned any of the newer games so I just never had a way to rip the levels myself, I just thought it would be a cool idea and I'm glad someone has done it.

Oh, and there's a feature where you can have foreground and background layers in the landscape, so you could have a landscape of a lady with a bikini on and when you blow it up you see what's underneath.

Looks like some good stuff. I rarely use the custom levels, but new landscape types are welcome.

Maybe I should post the landscape types I've made over time. I've got 'mud', 'cheese', 'cartoon', 'underwater', and one or two more.

Really nice! Worms: The Directors Cut will always be the best version of Worms to me!

Cheers :)

I think Director's Cut can handle 256-color landscapes - see the 'Toys' map that comes with it.

That sounds fantastic, I'd love to add your landscapes if you want to post them! Any of your artwork is always most welcome. :)

Surprisingly those Toys are only in 15/16 colours, which is the most you can use in each playfield in dual-playfield mode on AGA (without tricks). In OCS/ECS it's 7/8.

I am trying to remember if that is the same program I had, still have some where. Is Directors Cut a text based media program?

@Cammy

Off subject:

I am amazed at your Amiga platform knowledge! I started with the Amiga in 1993 (I had seen it once or twice in the late 1980's) I used to live, breath and eat Amiga. But drifted away by the early 2000's. I forgot a lot of what I use to know, but even if I remembered it all, I am sure it would be much less than what you know. It's always neat to see Amiga specific dedicated interests in some one who is young. And hopefully nobody is telling you that you are spending too much time with this "Amiga thing!" I use to get told that. Ah! Now I am too busy filling my noggin with boring PC knowledge for my IT certifications.

I will always see the Amiga as more fun no matter how powerful and sophisticated the PC and Mac become.

  it's been a long time since I made them, so there might be an unnecessary file or two. if there are any problems, let me know.

Doesn't look like I can just attach it, so here:

If someone is playing Worms: Reloaded on Steam and want a decent opponent (750 playing hours :)), PM me and we'll get in contact. Also I have dozens of friends playing Worms so theres no lack of co-players.

No, it's shorthand for 'Worms: The Director's Cut'! :)

So true! all I want to do is blow you all up into little drowned worms bits and show you who's got skills.

Oh dear!

Directors Cut didn't seem as fun and playable after I tried Armageddon.  I got Worms reloaded cheap on steam earlier this years and it's pretty decent but is a bit lacking in single player content.

Worms, and worms2 -  armaageddon  on XBL are massive fun

 I was mixing it up with the the text based multi-media presentation app "The Director".

I never played Worms, does it run on WB 2.1?

Worm should play fine on os2.1 [http://hol.abime.net/1779].
Worms TDC only runs on AGA machines [http://hol.abime.net/1781].
