TeamWeapons!
I really missed the mode "teamweapons" from Worms World Party, so i figured out how to add it to HedgeWars.
Description:
Per team weapons (Not per hog weapons like in highlander). You select your weapons in a virtual store, each weapon costs "cash" and you start with 100 cash.
Download:

----------------------------------------------------------
if you want to then you can try the very experimental executable version of the store.
http://www.mediafire.com/?3n9cfbgpjgh361y (linux)
http://www.mediafire.com/?u5ft4g1jpks18qs (windows)
note: It does not exist on mac so far & it consumes 50% cpu, so use it wisely.
Howto install:
1. First download the file from the link above
2. Extract the files teamweapons 1.0xx.lua and teamweapons 1.0xx.cfg and the folder "Store" to:
~/.hedgewars/Data/Scripts/Multiplayer (Linux)
~/Library/Application Support/Hedgewars/Data/Scripts/Multiplayer (OSX/Mac)
My Documents/Hedgewars/Data/Scripts/Multiplayer (Windows)
3. Open the file /Store/index.html (from the folder you currently extracted) with a webbrowser like internet explorer or firefox
4. Set your weapons + other stuff
5. Press the button "generate weaponcode", it will give you a code like "a,123-2,456*hogname".
6. Copy that code. (ctrl+c)
7. Open your favorite team inside hedgewars. Rename the teamname to " (TeamWeapons)", or something similar.
8. Paste the code as the first hogs name (Note: you only have to do it with the first hog, not the teamname or hog 2->8)
9. Save your team (it will create a new team called that, so your old team will have the non-teamweaponish name)
10. Restart Hedgewars (not your computer).
11. play with that team and the style TeamWeapons 1.0xx.
12. Have fun!
NOTE: Dont change your weapons when playing online. It can cause desyncs!

I don't like sneaky bugs, please report them to me

Hi. If you're really interested in this mode, why not see if you can set up a frontend implementation that we could include with 0.9.17? That would be cool!

I really like this idea, and would love to see it properly implemented in the next version!
It already works fine, except, although i set my team to have 2 girders only, i always get 4 instead. I don't know why this happens.
:/
I too was really keen on this idea for a time. If you could do a frontend implementation that would be superb!
Also, you might need to reconsider some of your weapon pricing, but there's plenty time to think about that. [Example: RC plane costs 9 credits (far too little), Cheese costs 7 (far too much)]. How about something like
Claymore, you do realize that we cant see any of the numbers for the last column right? (at least i can't)
Also, why the heck would mud bomb be 6!?!?
I realise that now, but you can just select it and and paste into notepad if you care that much.
Mudball is more useful now that it doesn't use up a turn. You can drown a hog and then proceed to kill another.
I really like this, I'd love to see it in 9.17. I can see why you put the mudball at six, but that's just a little too high, maybe put it at 5?
hmm...
im working on a new version to this mode, based on the html/lua files - so i will update the prices on the weapons, and add missing weapons like kamikaze.
yeah mudball should be higher that 1 (I uploaded this mode at the same day as version 1.16 was released, simply I had no idea about the "new" mudball)
I am trying to build HW now. I will see if I can make this mode built-in HW
thx CheezeMonkey for the bug, it will hopefully be fixed...

You should log on to IRC and talk to the other devs about implementing the mode into frontend.

Awesome. This.is.diamonds. Anyone wanna test it :P ?

People. Could you start aggregating awesome content and packaging it for us? I'd like to give downloadable content a spin...
Packaging is super easy. Just give files a sensible unique name (maybe a version number if it supercedes an old file) and zip up relative to the Data directory.
You can use the existing one we made from the unit22 pack as an example (it is on http://hedgewars.org/content.html - that's what shows up in the app)

Nice mode,except you would have to merge scripts to be playable online
If you want to play this mode online/LAN, then you will have to share your weaponcodes between eachother. Or else it will crash.
I can tell that im working on a new version.
In the next version everything will be managed on a server; maxcash, weaponcosts, teams and the weaponcodes. If someone is interested to test it, please give me a note.
(I will still support the old-style weaponcode version)

Update!
this version will allow you to play online!
download: http://www.mediafire.com/?6o64jag68s4yag2
fixes:
-New "weaponcode" pattern
-fixed Landgun
-works online
-removed twsettings.lua
How to install:
Copy TeamWeapons.lua and TeamWeapons.cfg to the folder with the other script files for example C:/Program/Hedgewars 0.9.17/share/Hedgewars/Data/Scripts/Multiplayer (windows)
place the store folder somewhere, but open the file index.html inside it. Then set your own weapons.
After that make a new team (recommended) and paste the weaponcode as the first hogs name.
Play and enjoy!
Thanks to hugo111 and shadowzero78 for helping me to test the script

Very nice to see you have been working on this
I think the girder should have a max cap, maybe 4 or 5? Can't wait to play this
And thanks for working on this

The improved version of this is pretty cool. I still need to play it more, but would suggest that it still needs a couple of balances here and there.

Very nice!
But: Some prices are comparatively small/high.
And cheating is easy...
