Then, the "Punisher" special, that does a damage bonus against high level opponents #define WEAPON_SPECIAL_PUNISHER # Canned definition of the Punisher ability to be included in a # [specials] clause. [damage] id=punisher multiply=1.25 cumulative=yes name=_ "punisher" female_name...

Here's the "Nocturne" ability that makes the unit petrify in dusk, first watch and second watch. The unit behaves much like a gargoyle In abilities: #define ABILITY_NOCTURNE # Canned definition of the Nocturne ability to be included in a # [abilities] clause. [damage] id=nocturne descripti...

You think about events and abilities that trigger them? I don't know where to start, I don't even know how to couple a special with an event and where in the game to place te event for it to work not only in a single scenario. Where could I find some info?

@zookeper. I'm not so skilled in WML, I simply didn't think of it. So, your idea is to put numer of defender's attacks to 0, not to nullify his chance to hit. Good if you want the enemy not to react at all. My solution actualy makes the enemy try to hit and always miss, giving the image of a very sw...

No, it's designed to be compatible to Wesnoth standard and to be a bonus to very swift units (at the present, to a very small scout unit that flies on a kite).
By the way, I'd like to make some special notes for abilities: where are special notes stored?

But I'd want the enemy attack anim not to be showed!

Since I come from Age of Wondes and Heroes of might and magic series, I know there are many types of retaliation in a combat system: -single: the defender reacts only to the first attack (default in HoMM) -no: the defender does not react at all (Default in classical turn based games. In HoMM it occu...

That's simply different interpratations of the descriptions: it's the artist's freedom. The only portrait that is very different from the sprite is the third level, spectre: the sprite is more like an enchanted armour, no tusks, no robe. But since Kitty's portrait is beautifully finished, we could s...

Here is my situation: I have an average villager and, even if in 2009 that sounds sexist (not in Wesnoth though) I want some paths of advancement to be available only to male villagers and some only to female, not having to make males and females two different units. So, let's say #textdomain wesnot...

How can a human be able to draw such awesome paints by hand? I'm really amazed, you must have studied art as a professional. I'll never be able to draw even a stickman and, boy, I envy you

Is it possible? Cure does eliminate "Poison status", but it has no parameters so I don't know how to modify it...

In Age of Wonders I found some attacks that were more effective if the target was a specific unit (for example: "Holy Champion" does a bonus against chaotic targets). So I came up with these: You should give this to a powered up version of a Loyalist lancer #define ABILITY_DRAGONSLAYER # C...

@jetrel I know we don't really risk punishment, but an infringment is an infringment, even if not enforced (I'm not so innocent to think Square would sue us for a remote derivative work of a single frame belonging to a game published in the early nineties, but with the odd copyright-patent enforceme...
