Hi! I have found a strange parameter in my schemes.ini, called “worldedge”.

It is not mentioned on <http://code.google.com/p/hedgewars/wiki/ConfigurationFiles#Weapons.ini:>.

Funnily enough, this parameter appears grouped with all indices at the bottom, for example:

1\worldedge=0
2\worldedge=0
3\worldedge=0
4\worldedge=0
5\worldedge=0
6\worldedge=0

(etc.)

In my case, the parameter always has the value “0”.

Now my question: Where does this parameter come from and what does it mean?

That is probably referring to the world edges feature in the upcoming hedgewars release.

World edges are special "borders" on left/right ends of the map and can be set to:
- default (none)
- wrap (if you shoot out of one side the shot will continue coming from the other side - as if the world was round/infinite or basically as if the world edges were huge connected portals)
- bounce (it's like they are rubber! bazooka shells etc. will just bounce off 'em!)
- sea (like portals connected to the water area, so if you fly into an edge e.g. with flying saucer you'll suddenly appear below the land)
