I recently purchased WordWars and since the site that would have allowed skins to be downloaded is gone now, I'd like to tweak the ones that came with
the game. But, alas, I cannot get the .AMS files to open. What program would you suggest?
I have tried several but nothing seems to open them.
I have Googled for an hour now to no avail =P
GREAT game by the way! I love it.
I'll have to give Mutant Freaks of Nature a look too!
Thanks for any help you can offer!
As usual, make a backup copy of your AMS file first... 
To open an AMS file, change the AMS extension to ZIP. The AMS extension was used with the thought of making a unique file association for a specialized editor, but it never happened.
It's been a while since I've worked on WordWars, but I think the AMS files are non-compressed. If you zip one back up after making changes and you have problems, you might check that.
What is the URL that "would have allowed skins to be downloaded"? If it's on this site, I might be able to put it back.
Thanks! I will try that!
The site that the game tips sent me to was GameThoughts.com. There is now a letter there saying that they are taking a break.
That works just fine. The file contains music as well as graphic files.
In case you're wondering, the .dic dictionary files are just plain text files. If you want to create your own (one with all of the acceptable 2-8 letter Scrabble words, for example) just copy all of those words into a text file, and then place it in your Wordwars directory. Change the extension from .txt to .dic. Then go into WordWars, select options, and click on "Dictionary" until you get to the name of the file with your custom dictionary. Just remember that you are also limited by those words as well...
GameThoughts shut down many years ago. I'm surprised you have a version that mentions them...where did you get it? The primary seller these days is eGames.
I got it from (of all places) Walmart. It was packaged with 5 other word games under the title "Word Mania" and was an "eGames" collection.
And your game is by far the best in that collection!
I'm currently making a World of Warcraft Skin for it!
Hahah...funny. That "tip" must have been missed!
Let me know when you've got it going. Maybe I'll put up a skins page here.
