wkColorFix
This is a WormKit module which attempts to solve the palette problems on Vista and newer Windows versions.
Idea from here. EDIT: As this module is still getting a lot of downloads, I'll just point out: You shouldn't need this module if you are using the latest Beta update. You can download the newest Beta update for Worms Armageddon from here.

If the name doesn't tell you anything, you probably don't need it.

Works here under Windows 7 x86 (32bit) build 7100 Release Candidate. I did not perceive any instances of Explorer.exe being closed o_O EDIT: loses colours in the frontend when I try to sign into WormNET or right after I press "start game" after entering teams in an offline game. Nothing is logged in Palette.log and in-game (gameplay) seems to work fine. Image "1" colours are fine Image "2" colours go awry when that screen is loading.

Sorry, I guess what I said sounded a bit confusing. I ment before I used the wkColorFix, I got the colourbug some of the time, and minimizing fixed it. Now I haven't seen it happen anymore!

That's a good point. I tried to add a hook to ExitProcess (this will work because the catch-all exception handler will still make W:A exit normally), but it looks like madCodeHook doesn't like it when I hook ExitProcess...

Nice module. However, a new Explorer window launches after the game exits...

Stop pressing any keys that might cause that while the module isn't running, and it won't.

Why does this module prevent logging colour stealing to palette.log?

I had some strange side effects in win7 - after exiting the game some pinned icons on the taskbar got changed - suddenly of got the icon of the snipping tool for live mail, and the sticky notes icon for windows explorer... rebooting made it change back to normal. Any idea how that is possible? It happened twice since I'm using this wkColourfix, but it's not consistent.

because icon corruption/randomness is usually caused by a corrupt/full icon cache?

Strange, if you apply it for XP, the game freezes for 1-2-3 seconds every time you press something, like adding a team.
Good thing the color bug isnt (really) present in XP so I dont have to use it

I don't know. Suspending csrss would require administrative rights, too. Why don't you try? You can suspend processes with Process Explorer.
Balee: that could be the side effect of some other program running in the background. Can someone with XP confirm if this is/isn't happening on all XP setups?

Lol, freezing/terminating csrss is really not what you want to do.
By the way, attachment in the first post doesnt seem to work. upd: Oh, looks like all attachments are dead links now. Gotta wait till fixed then. Last edited by boobl; 5 Jun 2009 at 10:36. |
