Here's a list of little-known Hedgewars gameplay facts, tips, tricks and oddities:

• The cake can walk underwater.
• The homing bee can fly underwater
• Dud mines can take damage (even fall damage) and explode if they take too much abuse
• Barrels start with 60 health.
• Seduction thaws frozen hogs.
• You can prevent slipping away on ice by holding [Precise]. This also slows down slipping if you are already slipping
• On flying saucer, you can launch projectiles to your crosshair by holding [Precise] and pressing [Long jump]
• You can change your aim in flying saucer with [Precise] and [Up]/[Down]
• You can change the bouncyness of grenades, cluster bombs, old limburgers and mines with [Shift] + [1]-[5]
• If you start the flying saucer, you float until you move
• Press [Attack] twice to change your flying saucer in mid-flight (you still need to have a new flying saucer, of course)
• Fire that lasts more than 1 turn will go out based on time, not on turns, so you maybe could pass a fire pit just by waiting it out, as long you have enough time
• You're not allowed to move while the sniper rifle is activaed, but you are allowed to turn around between shots
• Never ever press a move key when you can't find a hog, use the [Find hog] key instead (you must press it twice if auto-camera was already on)
• There are some objects which oddly bounce / don't bounce, see here: http://www.hedgewars.org/node/6250
• For more little-known controls, see here: http://www.hedgewars.org/node/5684
• You won't collide with projectiles while you are in mid-air (i.e. jumping)
• At the beginning of a normal game, a list of important game settings is shown, including mine timers (unless everything important is left at default values). You can review this list by pressing [Esc] in-game.

I know there's already a Theme Creator done and with new theme format, it's not very useful actually, but I made my own editor for themes. It doesn't look like super-fancy .NET project and doesn't copy images for you, but it's very simple and has support for pretty every function in HW themes, being useful for beginners, who don't know every possibility. It's even forward-compatible, with support for multiple buried rectangles for objects.

Screenshots:

First page, with color selecting.

Second page, has pretty everything.

Third page, listing all images that can be customized

Fourth page, contains list of all non-standard images, customizes amount of objects etc.

The rectangle editor. It's super easy to use and helpful. It can also zoom infinitely (with 2x on the screenshot).

To use the editor, just copy the file (it comes in one exe!) to your theme directory and run. It automatically loads theme.cfg and list of all images.

For other systems, there's source code: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lbshcgakcan139g/HWThemeEditor.rb?dl=0
To run the source, you need Ruby language and Gosu library.

Post here any problems/feedback etc.

Current version: v.10

Hedgewars has a couple of easter eggs (hidden features which are not really meant serious), and I will report them here.

All info in this post are according to Hedgewars version 0.9.21.

Special dates
When Hedgewars is started on a certain day (according to system time), some visuals may be changed.

• April 1: All hogs will look like tomatos (Hat “fr_tomato”) and a tomato juice effect is shown when they are hurt.
• April 20: All hogs which normally have no hat will wear the “eastertop” hat (broken easter egg).
• October 31: Main menu is Halloween-themed and hogs which normally have no hat will wear the fr_pumpkin hat.
• December 24 - December 26: Main menu is Christmas-themed and hogs which have normally no hat will wear the Santa hat.

Background info on the dates
The April 1 easter egg refers to an April Fools joke from 2014.

31th October is not only Halloween, but also Hedgewars' “birthday”. Hedgewars has been started on 31th October 2004.

Unicorn attack
If you hold down the [Precise] and [Switch hog] keys while using kamikaze, the hedgehog will turn into an awesome rainbow unicorn.

Hidden achievements
A couple of so-called achievements are awarded for several special tasks in missions:

• Prestigious Pilot: Finish the RC Plane Challenge with only 1 RC plane (very difficult but possible)
• Naughty Ninja: Kill Instructor in Dangerous Ducklings (demo)
• Energetic Engineer: Finish Bamboo Thicket in less than 6 turns without using any bazookas (demo)
• Lively Lifeguard: Rescue all 8 hedgehogs in That Sinking Feeling *
• Rope Master: Finish Basic Rope Training in under 50 seconds

* = This achievement does not work when you use a language other than English; this is a bug in 0.9.21.

I want to know if there is difference between campaings map and map missions that you play from versus mode, some extra coded used in campaing??

Can some devs (or anyone that knows tham all) make a list of all possible votes that could be used on game? should be nice if there isn't a list yet.. xD like i think poor player know that u can pause the game on server too with /callvote pause..
