Worms Armageddon Team Backup, Restore and Merge Utilities
---------------------------------------------------------

Version 2, 22/08/1999
Copyright 1999, Jon Skeet

WARNING: THESE UTILITIES ACCESS THE REGISTRY AND SHOULD THEREFORE BE
CONSIDERED DANGEROUS. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY
DAMAGE THESE UTILITIES MAY CAUSE. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO RISK ANYTHING,
DON'T USE THE UTILITIES.

(Of course, I don't actually anticipate any trouble, I just want to
keep myself in the clear. No-one who's used them in the past has had
any problems :)

Installation
------------

Copy the executable files warest.exe, wabackup.exe and wajoin.exe to your
Armageddon teams directory, eg:

c:\games\wormsarmageddon\User\Teams

Use
---

Wabackup
--------

Whenever you want to back the current team up, just run
wabackup.exe. This will create a file called wg.xxx where x is a
number between 001 and 999. (It starts at 001 and increases. The
largest number is your most recent backup.)

Warest
------

As of version 2, restoring teams is much easier. You can simply drag
a backup file onto warest.exe and the team will be restored.

Alternatively, you can open a DOS box and run warest . For
instance:

warest 3

will restore the team file from wg.003

A backup copy of the current wg.wgt file is made to wg.bak before
restoration; this is in case the registry access goes wrong. If it
does (it will tell you), please mail me (skeet@pobox.com) with the
*exact* error message, and *don't* play Worms: Armageddon until I've
got back to you, unless you don't mind losing your current position.
Hopefully this will never happen, but you never know...

Wajoin
------

As of version 2, joining teams is also easier. Simply select all the
backup files you want joining together, and drag them onto
wajoin.exe.

Alternatively, you can open a DOS box and change to the teams
directory, then run wajoin . For
instance:

wajoin 3 mybest.bak 5 2 4

will merge the teams from files wg.003, mybest.bak, wg.005, wg.002,
wg.004, placing them in another wg.??? file. (The filename is
displayed after the merge.)

There can only be one team with any given name in a team file, and
wajoin gives the earlier specified one priority. For instance, suppose
wg.003 contained teams Jon and Fred, wg.005 contained teams Bert and
Jon, wg.002 contained teams Russell and Bert, and wg.004 contained
teams Ginger and Algy, then the resultant file would contain teams:

Jon from wg.003 (ignoring Jon from wg.005)
Fred from wg.003
Bert from wg.005 (ignoring Bert from wg.002)
Russell from wg.002
Ginger from wg.004
Algy from wg.004
