The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Thanks, it would be great if the map editor would allow a few automated steps to process quicker e.g. hexagon layered images created using Inkscape and its boardgames extension. For now I will wait, until there is a better map editor with background image support. Select *.png/*.jpg image, set numbe...

Thanks this is a useful tip, this seems to be the place: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wesnoth ... ges/1.1.0/

It's possible, but not easy; you'd need to create some custom terrain graphics rule(s) which display the image on the map and that's tricky enough that I don't think it's really worth the trouble at all. I wanted to keep the original background *.jpg, not caring if the borders are not at exact hexa...

Can we use also any background image for the maps? e.g. selecting some big world map with all the country names of 2013, putting a hexagon grid on top of this image, adjusting the hexagon size as you like, then recreating this map in Wesnoth's map editor. Would this be possible? Is there a load back...

Would not it be possible to add a SetClipboard feature into Wesnoth?

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I know what midi is. Why did you quantize sad.mid? As far as I could see the most often used songs in Wesnoth are - wanderer/battle, 7 times - knolls, 6 times - underground/the dangerous symphony/revelation/nunc dimittis/loyalists, 4 times Those would be the son...

How can we copy the messages into the clipboard instead of into stdout.txt using lua?

Is there any place which contains the latest version? How can we find out which and where is the latest version? Thanks. If there is no such place yet, I would suggest in forums the first posting, easy to find, no confusion.

I see thanks. Maybe another comparison to chess might be interesting. The minimum distance among player positions could be set similar to this "chess rule": In best case, meaning most agressive playing from both sides, the players can fight in second move already. e.g. 1. d2d4 - e7e5 2. he...

Are the midi files of all currently used compositions available anywhere? The idea is, instead of creating totally new, trying to do some variations to already available, accepted and liked compositions.

Is there any general rule or principle for the relationship among the number of players and the map size? How good or bad would it be playing also in bigger maps, e.g. with 3..5 players maybe? Advantages and disadvantages?

This is already enough. I there are N children, I would divide then N into up to 9 equal parts so they could play as groups, even more fun. Each group member would play one move, then iterating. The battle result would be a real group effort.

Stdout would be in the file named stdout.txt in the same directory as wesnoth.exe if on windows. Yes, I saw this file and was happy about it. Regarding the story text, actually I do not know yet what is the difference between story and non-story text? Also, as written above, I will look for a solut...

Thanks to both. Is the idea too bad to be added to the game as an option? With TTS connection it would feel more like a film, you only play, but do not have to read too long texts. Just relax instead. post 2: If you are willing to do a minor hack, you can actually do this as the player by redefining...

Or we push always from stderr to clipboard.
