The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Whats the difference between Type, Descrition and user Description? Type is what kind of unit it is, e.g. Drake Clasher, Elvish Figher, Spearman, etc. User description is the name of a unit, which is displayed in the sidebar when you move the cursor over that unit (e.g. Chantal, Delfador). Descript...

1.) what makes TBFW stand out amongst other, proprietary games ? It doesn't follow the trends. You don't need the latest graphics card to play it, it's not 3D, and it's turn-based. Essentially, it offers very unique gameplay for this day and age. Also, it's available for linux. 2.) do you play othe...

You could have two identical scenarios that link to each other.

Hmm... probably the simplest idea would be to add an $owner variable to the [store_location] feature. I don't think we really need a new condition filter for it, since it is not something common to filter upon. Sounds fine to me. I suggest that $owner == 0 if the village is uncaptured, and -1 if th...

It occurs to me that a [store_village_side] tag would be more useful. You could still get the proposed functionality by saying something like [store_village_side] variable=vside x,y=11,11 side=$side_number [/store_village_side] [if] [variable] name=vside numerical_equals=$side_number [/variable] ......

Do you mean a private message? you have to be in your inbox (the button at the top of the screen that says "you have _ new messages") I think he means the quote button, which is in the upper-left corner of every post. But if he does mean private message, he can just click the PM button at...

It's probably a typo in first_scenario=, or in id= for the first scenario. I notice that you wrote first_scenario=kanglan_invaders-1, while the proper spelling would be knalgan.

no, and I've never been able to work out why some people can't recruit after that point. Actually, I remember fixing that after I last downloaded it. There was a typo in one of the recruit= lists. I don't remember which one though. It might have to do with keeping Lamai, which would explain why onl...

If you're wondering about development, I have been slowly plugging away at a multiplayer version. It might be done in about a week. I figure that might help your decision-making.

It's a question between: http://org.wesnoth/ or org.wesnoth.www In terms of uniquely identifying the service type being used, across multiple applications. I'd personally prefer the former, perhaps with a single character instead of a :// It's a nice idea. The problem is when you have multiple serv...

Thank you!

The internet would make a lot more sense with regards to its actual structure if URLs came out like: http://org.wesnoth/www/ So far as I can tell, that's how they're really structured, hierarchically - I believe /www/ is often a folder on the webserver, and if it isn't, it'd be aliased by the softw...

Yes, irrevenant is correct. The URL http://wiki.wesnoth.org does actually work, so it makes sense to take it to it's natural conclusion. It also makes auto-complete easier when typing in a URL, because www tends to be dominated by forum posts.

Is there any reason you couldn't use role=tracker? You seem to be making this needlessly complex.

Actually, it would be interesting to have a map where the game ends as soon as any leader dies (not all enemy leaders, just one). If anyone's looking to foster teamwork, that'd be the way to go. That or an uneven map (2v1, 5v2, etc).
