Re: NR-Infested Caves - Clear the Caves, Min. Gold, Nightmar

The term "expert" has little relation to tactical prowess for this campaign. It should be "memorized" and not on mainline. There are other campings that I didnt finish because I re-installed my operating system and lost the saves or I didnt upgrade to the new version. By upgrade,...

Re: Map Bug - editor does not store data

My intuition is that it would make sense to have the .cfg file override parameters in a map file. The term "override" makes it sound like the starting gold info for a particular side is being loaded from a file more then once. Actually, a better idea probably is to call a function at game...

Re: Map Bug - editor does not store data

Anyway, the basic point remains: more specific details are needed. I have not explained exactly which data is missing largely because I don't understand the data myself. A wml authority maybe able to explain that. There exists a .cfg file for canal dispute in a multiplayer map contest map pack for ...

Map Bug - editor does not store data

In order for a map to be complete, it seems that the map should have some non-terrain information. For example, starting gold. This data should be stored persistently. Why not have this data stored in the map file? It seems like "Landscape Tool" maybe clearer terminology then "Map Edi...

Map Editor - .cfg

How do I make a .cfg file with the map editor? I didnt see anything about a .cfg file on the wiki page: http://wiki.wesnoth.org/BuildingMaps I read the thread: http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=39290&p=559079&hilit=.cfg+map+editor#p559079 Is this the case for version 1.10.2 a...

Re: On Beta Testing

What? I am wondering about the process of compilation in general. My compilation experience consists of clicking the compile button in eclipse for a homework assignment. I learned, in a classroom, that a compiler is something that takes an HLL and put it into an assembly language usually via p-code...

Re: On Beta Testing

It sounds like you are taking C++ code and using a compiler+assembler+linker to convert the C++ code into 32-bit machine language and then taking 32-bit machine language and interpreting it into 64-bit machine language at run time so it will run on a 64-bit x86 processor. If that is the case, why no...

Re: On Beta Testing

Pre-googling: Windows is 64-bit, but I'm using the 32-bit version of the compiler. I am not a processor person or a systems administrator, but your problem seems obscure. In theory, it could be a problem that the compiler is bit specific. But that sounds like a really bad compiler. 64-bits means tha...

Perhaps the term "C libs" is ambiguious. From my understanding, not all libs associated with C are compatible. unix and linux C libs seem rather incompatable.

sylph: You don't file bug reports on irc. You file them on bugs.wesnoth.org. http://wiki.wesnoth.org/ReportingBugs Sorry, I have never filed a bug report on Wesnoth before. A bug is when the program deviates from the specification intolerably. Your definition of the word "bug" is obscure....

Re: Engine Bug - undo until last shroud update

No one knew what you were asking, because your question was very unclear. It was not rude to say that your question is only understandable with screenshots and cleaner speech. The rudeness, to which I was referring, was looking at a good question and upon clarification ignoring the question. Can yo...

Re: Engine Bug - undo until last shroud update

I asked this question: If you make a move and the move updates the shroud, should you be able to undo until the last shroud update even if part of the move updates the shroud? I naively expected somebody with some C++ knowledge to state an intelligently reply, such as: No, it is unfortunate that und...

Re: Engine Bug - undo until last shroud update

The only sensible interpretation for the question I can think of would be "if the last step(s) of a move do not reveal any shroud but the previous steps did, can you undo those last step(s) even if you can't undo the whole move?". Is that right? "should" not "can" It s...
