Re: Bridge-Castle Transitions (was: New try at a hanging bri

Well, IMHO you shouldn't light the rocks from all angles especially at the top. It'd be more realistic if you blend your first attempt with the second.

Re: Wesnoth 1.9.0

Try cmake. It works for me and isn't as slow as scons.

Re: Updating Solely Required Files

I guess in-game updating would still be next to impossible without running wesnoth as root, right?

Re: Links to Decent but Abandoned Terrain graphics

Snow Drifts: I always thought they look nice and give snowy maps a greater variety. Fortunately, doofus-01 is still around. Unfortunately, he lost interest in it.

Re: Wesnoth-Compiled guides released! Download them freely.

And, I am sorry for you as well, because you hate one of the best fonts. I know, I know, taste is subjective but Comic Sans is horrible and should've been banned from distribution since it has seen the dawn of light. Seriously, it misses everything a proper typeface needs to have. Edit: And if you ...

Re: Calculation time for AI

Hmm, why not consider statistics? Like getting enough data and estimating a distribution with gaussian (mixture models). This might lead to more "natural" behaviour and improves calculation time and memory usage tremendously (only covar matrices and mean vectors).

Re: The mega Wesnoth PDF

Nice effort, however from a typographical standpoint it is quite amateurish, sorry. If it intends to be on par with all the other excellent assets BfW has to offer (sprites, portraits, music, ...) it should get a proper form. LaTeX and a good document class for example would give much better results.

Re: Wesnoth 1.7.14 aka 1.8-beta7

I thought the betas were supposed to fix bugs to get to a releasable state. But IMHO features such as Version 1.7.14-1.8beta7: * AI: * Allow to write AI components in LUA * User interface: * Rewrote the sizing code of the tree view widget * Enable the scrollwheel for the tree view * Enable the scrol...

Re: Calculation time for AI

Good luck with a route planning algorithm, that doesn't estimate roughly... The answer may be "rough" or rounded, but the process consists of steps based on hard, accurate, data. Is how computers work. If you do it the computer science way, the answer you get has to be correct or you're d...

Re: Playing & CPU fan constantly running. Should I be concerned?

Of course, since the game is constantly redrawing and playing music in a loop.

This is not true for quite some time now. Linux used to use the even-odd-system for stable and unstable, but this is history since 2.6.

Re: Cannot Exit Wesnoth

Well audio under Linux is sometimes... strange. Especially with the introduction of pulseaudio. And by the way, the sound system isn't crashing the whole system, since you still can kill the wesnoth process and go on. @ivanovic: there is no such package in the repository. But I will compile the late...

Re: Cannot Exit Wesnoth

I experience the same with 1.7.9 and Karmic. I usually switch to vt1 (via ctrl+alt+f1) log in and kill wesnoth with killall -9 wesnoth.
