The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

SkeletonCrew: I really like that idea. It's weird when you browse through the C++ and find out that something works entirely different than described in the wiki. With comments storing the documentation this could not happen. However, I think, the system should be somehow smart enough to allow for n...

I really think there should be some sort of tutorial for multiplayer, just that it should teach you about using the menus etc., too. I doubt this is easily do-able at the moment, though.

If it doesn't, "$foobar|,1" should.

After some discussion on IRC, I realized that my proposed system also would require for everyone to synchronize the external saves for every machine you play with. This makes implementation of it more complicated, so I'm not sure whether I really want to do it. Still, some discussion would be nice.

But as far as I know WML does not interface with user keyboard input at all. WML can indeed interface to keyboard input now, it's already in 1.4: [message][text_input]( Interface Acions WML ) I'm intersted in CIB's idea. Please elaborate. Let's see, did you ever open a savegame? It is basically the...

Well, I don't think I would enjoy playing such an MMORPG per se, but I do like the idea of sharing some data between games(not necessarely character strength though). I've had the idea of some sort of save-files that can be loaded directly via WML, this would be a good replacement for the "writ...

Even if I (or Wolfgar) would learn wiki code and would really really want to contribute to the wiki, the problem, which Wolfgar also pointed to is mainly: We don't know about the actual WML-code we want to help out with. How should we improve descriptions of WML tags for example, if we do not know ...

I think that there are many problems with the documentation, things like WML not being explained or wrong information. But I think the density of the information is fine in general. If you need examples etc. you can always consult the WML of a campaign. By the way, the wiki code is alot easier to le...

apply_to=new_ability, as described above.

I was going to check it out, but rather than finding the bug you described, I found a bug crashing Wesnoth(which is fixed now). The Modular MP RPG era included with Wesband still doesn't seem to work though, it would be nice if you fixed it up and uploaded the fix to the campaign server.

Concerning SurvivalX, 80% of the time those are rather popular for not reaching turn 5, I don't really find that enjoyable.

When I play a campaign, I usually develop a relationship to the units I often use throughout the campaign, especially those which have a story. The nice thing about MP campaigns is that you can develop a relationship to the other players similarly, but this experience requires the players not to cha...

The sight is the unit's movement, so you should usually go for around 6 hexes.

In order to use radius, you need a standard location filter, i.e. [filter_location] (i think you put it inside [filter], atleast that's what the wiki says, but I'm not sure) The easiest approach is to use x,y ranges in the unit filter, e.g. x=20-28;y=45-55 # resistance: Sets percent damage taken fro...
