The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Timer that catches up with target. At most 1 millisecond unrecoverable lag/gain per firing. Works in 1.13 3% cpu load ... local old_time = wesnoth.get_time_stamp() local old_report_countdown = wesnoth.theme_items.report_countdown local target = 1000 local dif, new_time local target2 = target functi...

Sapient, Hi. I don't quite get the part about resetting. I would think the lua virtual machine is fast enough and resetting old_time would only lose accuracy below milliseconds. The problem is that this old code gives perfectly accurate time in wesnoth 1.12: local old_report_countdown = wesnoth.them...

It would be nice if wesnoth's c++ can provide accurate time to lua.
Like wesnoth.realtime().

Timing by calculating approximate conversion between fake time and real time in every second. It seems not accurate for counting 0.1 seconds. old_report_countdown = wesnoth.theme_items.report_countdown old_clock = os.clock() old_time = os.time() old_clock2 = os.clock() real_dt = 1.0 fake_dt = real_d...

Hi. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before. I have just downloaded and compiled 1.13.8 for the first time. And I try it: Run Wesnoth. Click multiplayer button. Click on the text area for username and a tool tip appears. The tool tip blocks the whole text area and I can't see what I type......

This works: local old_report_countdown = wesnoth.theme_items.report_countdown old_time = os.clock() function wesnoth.theme_items.report_countdown() new_time = os.clock() if new_time - old_time > 1.0 then old_time = new_time wesnoth.message(new_time) end return old_report_countdown() end What if one ...

The wesnoth while loop idea doesn't work. The game freezes for a while and then gives up on running the while loop. I guess this means wesnoth doesn't listen to user input when it runs the while loop. I was reading the Tetris source code, which creates four special units. Whenever the player's curso...

I tried os.time() in lua on linux, and it works for 1.12. I don't know if that works on windows.

The thing is, it can't recognize "coroutine". Not "coroutine.yield()", not "coroutine.create(...)". The lua script can't even execute in wesnoth. Is it possible to ask lua do something (like wait x seconds before changing a label) while wesnoth can still listen to user ...

How to use coroutines included in multiplayer scenario? I tried: local helper = wesnoth.require("lua/helper.lua") function cotest() while 1 do os.execute("sleep " .. tonumber(0.2)) end coroutine.yield() end co = coroutine.create(cotest) [/code] I get lua error: attempt to index g...

You can open scenario by choosing load maps, click "..", click "scenarios", and then choose "<name of your scenario>.cfg"

The links at https://wiki.wesnoth.org/Create might help if you want to make a multiplayer scenario.

Thanks, Ravana. I changed all includes to: {./<relative Path>} It seems that something like this in "scenario/main.cfg" works: map_data="{LD maps/map0.map}" Setting variable doesn't work: in main.cfg: [set_variable] name=scenario_name value="Blank_MP_Scenario" [/set_var...

Hi. I try to make a template for a multiplayer campaign for testing scripts. I want to make renaming the campaign as easy as possible. So, I try to use macros. But I can't quite figure out if it is ok to use macro within quotes. If I can use relative paths for everything instead of using macros, it ...
