The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

It would be nice if every loyal unit would get the loyal overlay This can quickly and easily be done by putting {IS_LOYAL} into the definition of any unit being created. There is no need to manually do typical actions like this covered by utility macros (covered here ). The same works for heroes {I...

Wesnoth Archers don't need to use proper form. Wesnoth archers could: 1)Be too small to actually tell what form they are using. 2)Elves have different theories on how to use a bow. (And why shouldn't they?) Skeletons have magical-senses so they don't need to worry about how they shoot. 3) Wesnoth ar...

First of all, this is just a micro-ai for side 1, so it will only affect an ai controlling side 1. To rectify this, just create a micro-ai for sides 2-4 by changing to side=1,2,3,4 . This still won't cause your desired results, however. I wrote an example of what I would suggest, note that this will...

The [tunnel] tag will create a tunnel between two locations, so you could use it with the two maps side-by-side, but i doubt that is what you are looking for. If i remember correctly, Roboke's Island did this sort of thing with a hill/cave in the middle of a map(switched between two maps with a menu...

Can you post your stderr.txt? That would help determine where the problem is...

I got this a while back. What this means is that one of your add-ons (most-likely one you are creating yourself or messing-with) lacks a terminating quote somewhere. Good luck finding it--make sure you check stderr.txt as well!

The Aragwaithi migrated from the Old Continent to the Green Isle, right? Perhaps some of them 'missed' Green Isle and ended up in the southern reaches of the Great Continent. Honestly, I don't like idea 2 that much (we don't know that much about the Old Continent anyway...) So it really looks like w...

Here's and idea: Maybe the Khalifate are an off-shoot of the WesFolk who left immediately following the Rise of the Lich-Lords, and ended up in the South of the Great Continent? Due to the horrors they witnessed by the Lich-Lords, they forbade the practice of magic, with the goal of preventing anyth...

I recently found a WML Tutorial on the wiki. Since it had been about a year since any progress was made on finishing it ( artisticdude did a great job starting it, but it would appear that he lacked the time to finish it). I started to fill in some of this missing sections, and I added a link to it ...

Would it work, or be counterproductive to balance to reduce the merman hunter's ranged attack from 4-2 to 3-2 (or even 2-2) but give it marksman? I know that would cause a re-balancing of the merman-hunter-line, but would give a cheap unit capable of dealing limited (but predictable) damage to high-...

What do you want for a leader (L1 units are free, or you can dip into your other 100 gold for 0.5*unit_cost). I'm still trying to get this working..it breaks add-ons right now, but i'll re-upload it when it works.

yes. I've won a few games a Northerners with naga-infiltration strikes. (granted the opponent put his L2 Thunderer leader in a forest with 30% defense, but still). I think the naga is fine how it is. If it had a simple ranged (4-1 or 4-2), it would be better than an Elvish Archer (cost 17) justifyin...

Nagas are much better scouts/village grabbers than the mermen, but are much weaker. Neutral doesn't give them a TOD penalty, but neither does it give them an advantage. Nagas are best suited to infiltrate enemy waterways, not to attack from the water like the mermen. Think of Nagas like mer-saurians...

There is also a partially-complete WML Tutorial which would be helpful to the WML newcomer. Note that it is a work-in-progress and that some sections are more complete than others, but it does exist. The ReferenceWML page, while extremely helpful to those who already understand WML, can be confusing...

As I suggested before, go to eclipse.wesnoth.org and download the Wesnoth Eclipse Plug-in (You can get a stand-alone version that doesn't require you to install Eclipse). It automatically indents (well, you have to push 'tab' ('\t' character if you know what that is) and it reads files already inden...
