The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Well, here's my solution now. The downside is that I now need to make sure my recall slave side's recall list is cleared whenever the side is actually used in combat. local recall_slave_side = 3 function helper.create_stored_unit(unit_table) local lastIndex = savegame.lastUnitIndex or 0 unit_table.i...

To store a unit, use simply u = wesnoth.get_units( filter )[1] (saves the first unit that matched the filter). To convert it into a proper lua table, call its __cfg field, something like u = u.__cfg . You can join the two together as u = wesnoth.get_units( filter )[1].__cfg . I have no experience w...

Hm, with the store_unit method I'm still running into the problem of it trying to store translatable text which seems to be a userdata rather than a lua table that can be simply translated back and forth with get_variable/set_variable. Meh. Might have to use a huge list of units and store units as i...

I'm working on a campaign written almost entirely in lua, and so having data available as pure lua tables is very useful. However, they should be pure lua tables, not userdata, since I also use lua table serialization for my "savegames". It seems that wesnoth.copy_unit might do this, but I...

Okay, I tried to make life simple on me, but it backfired: -- custom textdomain function that'll return a translator that -- does variable substitution as well as translation helper.textdomain = function(domain) local translator = wesnoth.textdomain(domain) return function(str) return tostring(trans...

What about this? bar = "..." s = tostring(_ "foo {bar} baz"): gsub("{([^{}]+)}", _ENV) It won’t work for WML variables though. It may work for WML variables (and only WML variables) if you replace _ENV with the WML variable metatable, but why use WML variables in Lua? ...

I'm not sure how to do this. Obviously: "foo" .. bar .. "baz" is not going to work Given that V is a WML variable metatable, I tried: V.bar = bar V.message = _ "foo $bar baz" But oddly, this doesn't seem to do variable substitution immediately, which will cause strings ...

So sorry it took a while, I installed windows and malware as it is, it crushed my GRUB(I think I should let GRUB have a few kills so it can level). Anyway, uploading the bug fixes.

Thanks for the feedback. 2. Some units have xp 1000 and some 32. Fixed. 3. If fog is selected, first turn too should have fog. And they should be able to see their units. Purpose of fog is defeated when 1st turn is not fog. Alright, done. 4. Moving on first turn should be limited to 1, even if all v...

I have worked some more on Conquest, changes include: - polishing up of the WML, packing redundant code into macros - moving of the general conquest WML into another file, making it easier to create new conquest maps - a game setup dialogue for player one, making it possible to select the amount of ...

Look up http://wiki.wesnoth.org/EffectWML.

You have to add the special with an [effect], applying it to the unit through an [object].

Hm.. It seems you know quite well what you are doing. I would like to help, but along with Java, PHP and Javascript are on my list of languages I never want to use again. I probably can help with the design and mechanics though(I know very well how Wesnoth works in that regard). By the way, I'm real...

I use firefox, it's still laggy :p I think scrolling and so won't become smooth without a proper renderer.

Hm, this looks quite impressing. However, I'm not sure whether using a browser is the best idea. It gets quite "laggy".

I've done some changes and optimization to conquest Europe, including infantry spawns on all 60 villages(the number of villages can be adjusted by editing a simple number and is spread out equally among the players).

Note: Accidentally uploaded an old version, new one is up now.
