The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I just realized that a team of former Wesnoth developers copied Wesnoth's castle and other images and relicensed them with the MIT. This non-copyleft license is not compatible with the GPL. The questionable github project wesnoth2 can be found here: https://github.com/anura-engine/wesnoth2/tree/mast...

Have you tried using the [avoid] aspect for the locations of the villages?

Maybe it is possible to establish a foundation. In Germany, for example there exists a legal form named "Stiftung" which is similar to a nonprofit Limited (aka "gGmbH" in Germany), but has stronger regulations. It requires a clear foundation purpose, the approval of the federal s...

What about a crowdfunding campaign for Kickstarter or Indiegogo? People can pay any amount they want and gain a little attention for their donation, e. g. a special entry in the game credits for $10, a unit portrait based on the donator for $250, a Wesnoth t-shirt for $25 or a Wesnoth gym bag for $2...

I made a big update to the chart widget. See my original post above.

As mentioned in https://wiki.wesnoth.org/NotSoEasyCoding#Gold_graph it is desired to have a chart widget to show several variables. This is a concept for the chart widget (at the moment without legend) written for GUI2. At the moment it is just a stub with dummy data, but you can find a first insigh...

I just noted the Combo Drag widget which is used to select or switch the side controller in the Multiplayer Connect dialog. Is this widget intended for general use? It feels very odd and unintuitive to me. Wouldn't it be better to have a draggable Frame widget, which can contain any sort of widgets?...

This is a nice and well-tested map I made for 2 players. What do you think about it?

Just out of curiosity, is the current algorithm based on MCMC on letters , not syllables or blocks? If the length is the problem, isn't just possible to include it in the likelihood by hand so that probability of long names go down? You can find the current implementation in /src/race.cpp . I wonde...

The problem with Markov chains is that there may be loops or dead ends which can cause very long or very short names. This small example shows, what I mean: Given are the following names: LILA ANNE ALENA This produces the following Markov chain: <start> -> { A, A, L } A -> { <end>, <end>, L, N } E -...

The meta-macros are just helpers for generating those big piles of variations of the same macro. Per every meta-macro, you should find (in the same file) macro definitions for all possible combinations of the lettered arguments of the meta-macro. For example, this: #meta-macro TERRAIN_BASE TERRAINL...

Search shows it is only used in https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/blob/9e24258b5f5bd9e6b17006d06737fa32f4fc92aa/data/tools/expand-terrain-macros.py , so not in general preprocessing. Also, since it says !!! ONLY USE THIS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING !!! I doubt you need to use it. Thank you. I w...

Ok.Those macros in data/core/terrain-graphics/internal-tracks.cfg are very hard stuff I don't understand. Thank you, nevertheless.

Small question: What does the preprocessor directive #meta-macro do? It is not documented in https://wiki.wesnoth.org/PreprocessorRef .

Hi there, I have a question about unit movement. As you see in the screenshot there are two parallel rails, which are not connected with each other. The unit can move to it, however. This should not be possible. rails.png Is there any easy possibility to modify the movement, that it is only possible...

Hi community, many games use radial menus for quick access to context-sensitive actions. This trend has also been adopted by other applications in mobile and desktop environments. These are some examples for radial menus, which are also known as "pie menus" PieMenu.png sims.jpeg radial_men...
