Modding W4:M demo
Well, it is apparently possible to modify both versions of the demo and, apparently, the full version too.
The files I've edited so far are located in the W4 directory, in Data>Tweak> It's WeapTwk.xml and Tweak.xml. Right click and remove the "Read only" option. Then open this files with notepad, and just modify the values of the weapon you wish to modify. You can add clusters and choose any weapon as cluster(Just beware, adding too many clusters can crash the game), you can change the size of the weapon, and a bunch of other values such as damage, land damage, radius, etc.
In Tweak.xml you can change values to some utilities, like adding more fuel to the jetpack, more lenght to the ninja rope, and a lot of other stuff(jump distances of the worm, gravity, etc).
You can also make some utilites and weapons available when tailnailed, like the jetpack and rope, with some weird results. If you use jetpack while tailnailed, whetever you land you'll still be nailed If you change weapon in midair, you'll be stuck in midair xD(and for some reason be unable to shoot anything that requires any type of aiming , you can't turn around either)
You can only play people who have the same modifications as you, otherwise it just gets a desync error on first round.
There are also some things that are better not edited because they cause problems in online.
I'm sure some people will be able to do some rather complex stuff with this, to the point of creating a whole different gameplay experience
It's incredibly fun. Credit goes to Shootme(he's the one who told me what files to open)
Also, don't forget to backup the files you edit in case you do something terribly wrong
And finally, This is NOT supported by Dream17 in any way.[/b]

Does the full version actually use the .xml files for tweaks? Or does it use .xom instead?
None of my projects (Minus One converter, W3D/W4 Map Viewer, and WMapEditor) are endorsed, supported or otherwise affiliated with Dream17. I just find Dream17 forums to be a nice place to share and discuss my work with others.

Finally i can fix the Horrible problems that bugged me and my friends when we play worms 4!
Things im totally doing to improve the Real gameplay:
Long ninja rope, the real one isnt long enough to be usefull in worms 4.
Longer jetpack fuel, Icarus potions are overrated.
Awesome things im going to do that totally violate the rules:
Bazooka Cluster. Yeah, its that important.
Give the prod Massive radius just to see what happens.
Make the starurst SO STRONG it obliterates all worms. With super explosives and double damage it already blows up mountains in the unmodded game
Make the Godly bana bomb. As many clusters as possible, Masive radius land damage and worms damage.
Homing Launcher cluster.
