The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I am aware of the problems you described. I did mean that a developer should list the dependencies, or rather the contents o their scenario, explicitly. Works for World of Warcraft add-ons. Sure, developer can forget to upgrade their table-of-contents or manifest file. Developer can also make a mist...

> The reason is that the game has no way to know which Lua files will be needed. Thank you for the attention. To me it's a matter of implementing a table-of-contents file that lists all of the files that the scenario requires. (It would have been usable for deployment too. I ended up uploading Git r...

I would ship map files that are adapted to the scenario in the add-on distribution. I don't know the specifics, just saw passing mentions in scattered tutorials and the like that scenario can potentially load different maps. There is some kind of random map generator for ladder too, from what I know...

I am on scenario three. Easy difficulty. So far writing was acceptable. Level design is simple, however. A way to improve it would be to add more micro details that increase variety. Add more fronts in different biomes, for example. Sorry I can't be anymore specific. I struggle with level design mys...

I would like to share an external resource that is applicable to the topic. It is aimed at campaign developers and not on Wesnoth project maintainers. Specifically, it is a generic development method to designing game encounters that I frankly consider profound. [Key Mechanics: Challenge Tuning!](ht...

1. Do not set properties that do not apply to the subject. 2. Your campaign is free to incorporate whatever art you muster. Unless they are "explicit" or offensive to the audience, I am guessing. 3. Ask questions regarding implementation of features in separate threads. The topic is very s...

I think what you need is in file "era.lua". There is a global function wc2_era#generate_bonus_heroes defined there, on which bonus#ger_random_hero relies on. function wc2_era.expand_hero_types(types_str) local types = wc2_utils.split_to_array(types_str) local types_new = {} local types_res...

First I would look up the definition of bonus#get_random_hero function.

I liked Battleships. The map layout on land is rather simple however. If there was an easy way to apply this scenario to any map, for example to be able to choose any layout map from a pool, this could be popular in multiplayer. The act of shooting the cannon and sinking a ship is rather satisfying.

I discovered an important option that is related to the issue. To prevent players from running corrupt scenario that is missing the Lua script, the developer should set "require_scenario" property of "multiplayer" tag. [Reference](https://wiki.wesnoth.org/ScenarioWML#require_scen...

# Blatant robbery Cooperative scenario for two players. Use subterfuge to divert enemy defenders and assassinate their leader. ## Features Pillage peaceful villages, slaughter their inhabitants and steal their property to force the enemy to divert their forces. However, pillaged villages do not pro...

Thank you. Your responses were enlightening.

What I understood is that Lua files are not transmitted over the network, only the scenario WML and map data. The work-around you suggest is to embed the Lua code into the scenario WML descriptor. Why can't the game simply transfer the Lua file as well? Is there some kind of manifest I can use? In t...

I encountered an unexpected issue with hosting a custom multiplayer scenario on the official multiplayer server. # Context The layout of the scenario's (the add-on's) directory: ~/add-ons/myscenario/src/myscenario.lua # Important segment ~/add-ons/myscenario/maps/myscenario.map ~/add-ons/myscenario/...
