Re: New Wesnoth trailer

I think fire breathing drakes are a must, brand new animations and fire. Maybe an ulfserker attacking a dark adept (for the laugh) or another ulfserker (for the sheer number of attacks). For the game play "videos" think about running at accelerated speed. Try and showcase as many different...

Re: More exposure for portraits (NOT on the sidebar)

The portraits are great; I don't think anyone will disagree there. I think that anything that displays them in game would get old pretty fast. There aren't that many portraits so you'd see them all pretty fast. Basically, my first idea is to have every unit say something when they're recruited (and/...

Re: Is There A Bug In Northern Rebirth

Yes, Sisal is very stupid here. She just gos out charging like she was commanding the "Light Brigade". Although, many historians would say that the charge of the Light Brigade was actually very heroic and sacrificial. I don't know if anyone has actually ever saved her. I guess I got lucky...

Re: Is There A Bug In Northern Rebirth

Northern Rebirth is supposed to be tough. It is an "expert level" campaign. Try the ones higher up in the campaign list (like AToTB, AOI) if you are looking for an easier campaign. As for the bug, I think you need to save Sisal in scenario 12 to get all your gold back in Showdown (scenario...

Re: DM Bug

You read where it said:

"In this scenario only, you may recall your veterans from the Land of the Dead. The killing blow against Iliah-Malal can only be struck by one of them."

You have to kill Iliah-Malal with an undead. Delfador's not undead.

Re: Bug in Outriding the Outriders (SoF)

What version are you playing and what OS? Do you still have the save game that gives you Rugnur instead of Alanin?

Re: Did what the objectives wanted me to do but still lost

What version are you playing? This bug should be fixed as of 1.7.4/5. Not sure about the 1.6.x branch.

Re: Super Complex Era

Do you want help with anything besides names? Even that is tough given the level of detail you are providing. My suggestion is to try to write the unit description. It might help you with the names and will certainly help everyone else. Firesword - Fire melee attack? How is that explained? Is this u...

Re: Scenario Review: NR 5 - The Pursuit

In 1.7.4 on Windows XP, even when you kill Malifor with a white mage he still reappears, flashes white and says "You can't kill me." Then the level ends. This needs to be changed due to a change in [endlevel] tag handling. See here: http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=268...

Re: [endlevel] tags - I don't understand them

Well, I can't get this to work. Exasperation, neither of your methods work (even though both look like they should). I'll post something in the NR threads and hope someone else can figure it out (or that I have an epiphany). For the record, changing the .cfg file in install_dir/data/campaigns/NR/sce...

Re: Super Complex Era

The tree is pretty readable. Here is a comment: "Neato." What else would you like? You could look at Ascension for some names/ideas. Besides that I can't suggest a better name for Firesword, Poisonarrow or Horse Champion (ugh) without knowing what you have in mind. Maybe post a rough descr...

Re: [endlevel] tags - I don't understand them

Putting [else] tags around the non-scenario-over code didn't work. Hopefully when I upgrade to 1.7.4 it will work.

Re: HttT Blackwater Port 1.7.3

The fix was the one that fixes a dozen other reported similar bugs: the [endlevel] handling was delayed until the current event has finished, but apparently when used in a time over event, even the defeat-on-time-over thing happened before that. I don't know about the technical details. OKay. Looks...
