The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

That sounds like the location of some object files is not properly given in the project file. I had that problem myself (i don't use the official project file). There are not many windows developers and it might be that the svn project file is outdated. What i do in those situations is search for th...

Don't worry, i get your idea. If you check my posts on this topic you will find that to a certain extend i share your opinion.

What i wanted to point out was just that realism is commonly used as a bonus but not as a central point of argument.

in rl war if you plan an attack and your terrain protects you better you smash your enemy there is no luck factor that prevents it if everything is visible to you as the attacker... else you would not attack. in wesnoth on the other hand it can happen that the attacker doesn´t even hit once. no lea...

And of course would that Experimental fork have binary distributions.

Yep, pretty much that.

Reading the "full changelog", no mention is made of rev 41637, fixing Gryphon Mountain issue - yet the svn repository definitely shows 1.8.0 has it in there. Unfortunately, there is a number of devs who ignore the change... *cough* excuse me... *cough, cough* changelog. This time it wasn'...

As such, I've decided that something has to be done about this. In order to thwart any AI attempt at subverting the RNG, we are going to insert code into Wesnoth that will call mprotect() on the memory regions where the RNG seed and other data is stored while AI algorithms are run. The memory will ...

To the threads initiator: Why not just try to overtake Wesnoth. I mean that seriously. Find more people in the community that support your goals. Each of them must submit at least two middle sized patches that make it into mainline. Look at the wiki or in the feature requests what patches are wante...

I am very interested in supporting this on the development side. While i think that a fork is a good idea and that it makes absolute sense to fully separate the source repository and the development tracking (bugs / features), i would appreciate it if we could have a subforum here (call it "Wes...

Just for the record: Don't create saves during linger mode (that is when you finished a scenario and the "End turn" button changes to "End scenario", there is still a bug for those. It will be fixed with the next release, which is hopefully coming soon.

From what i understood this is not true, it takes away your gold.

Now, each campaing is made by different people who might have different perceptions of how each difficulty should be, but my point was that even the easiest mainline campaings, in the easy difficulty, are more challenging than their equivalents in similar commercial games. Fair enough. My point was...

Although this is true, the people that keep complaining about loosing their high level units are generally bad players that can't win the campaigns, so making it even harder for their playing style will just cause many complains about how hard Wesnoth is. *Yogi points to the idea of dynamic difficu...

Realism is a good thing and we try to accomplish it whereever it makes sense. But gameplay always trumps realism.

And in skirmish matches and the competitive nature of Wesnoth I never said the game had problems. It's just easy to tell every Wesnoth newbie to LTP but when a mistake leads to like 6-7 hours lost of game-play and forces the player to completely restart then I'm sorry but that is excessively punish...
