Re: The Settlers of Wesnoth; NEW: "NO DOWNLOAD NEEDED"

A certain someone dared to rename a mainline macro during beta phase.
It's fixed in umc dev version already, but there are further problems.

EDIT
Okay, released 0.2.6 on the 1.12 addons server. Known bugs are fixed.

Re: inserting into tables out of bounds

I guess you are talking about table.insert(a,2,3) . Indeed. Anyways it was announced that we changed to lua 5.2.3 here: http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=41190#p577543 I don't see this change (table.insert) listed anywhere in the corresponding links in that post, and it unfortunatel...

Re: inserting into tables out of bounds

What does dbms do? What do you expect the value of a to be. What do you observe? Do you observe a lua error? When you say "still okay" at 5.2.0 what exactly does that mean Displays very comprehensive information about any sort of lua variable. I wrote it once, it's in the WLP and pretty w...

Re: inserting into tables out of bounds

It is unlikely that I was unaware of the possibility that such table can be created or that I didn't test that it's working as expected. I just checked that my system's lua (Lua 5.1.4) can execute the code above correctly, no error because of the missing entry at [1]. So it looks as if that' s a sil...

inserting into tables out of bounds

It seems that this code local a = {} table.insert(a, 2) table.insert(a, 2, 3); dbms(a) has worked in the past in wesnoth lua even if the second line is left out, so that a table with something at [2]= but nothing at [1]= is created, according to the code I had written back then. Wasn't there some &q...

Re: River Defense Strategy Guide(Beginners and moderate Play

The primary example that may be played as defending at a river is 08_The_Princess_of_Wesnoth in HttT. I've played it many times that way or that way, and found it's not worth defending at the river. Even though you're loyalist/elves there. Results get better when arranging battles in a way that you ...

Re: My latest project -- a digital collectible card game

Are you updating the windows binary available in the starting post, then (there are no version numbers) ? You are getting lots of bug reports, logically.
I don't want to be bothered with the bugs or with compiling it, especially not on windows.

Re: What do YOU want to see improved?

If someone wants to see what disasters CampGen led to, the old 1.2 add-ons server should still contain some. I recall a campgen campaign I once played with 1.2...huge maps, all scenarios of type "defeat all enemy leaders", a little dialog or story at the start of each, that's it. Nothing ...

Re: What do YOU want to see improved?

If it becomes too easy to create addons, it leads to bad addons. Not neccessarily of course, but still. This could be witnessed back then when campgen had been working. During all that time one needs to learn wml, a lot of thinking and ideas goes on in the creator's mind, and all is packed into the ...

Re: [engine] Able to use options when not your turn & playin

I just wanted to write what I already wrote above: In my MP addon SoW (see signature) I found 2 so-so ways to work around this: -Put the help into the scenario objectives dialog. Turn bell is blocked though, and I guess that's a basic limitation of the engine which cannot be solved. -Cut the help in...

Re: Plan_Your_Advancements (BfW 1.11/1.12)

Would it be possible to have this [modification] include [checkbox] about whether the start [message] is displayed? Nice idea, thanks. It's on the server. I think usefulness of this [modification] is so universal that should be integrated in BfW engine. Is there any chance that happens in BfW 1.14?...

Re: What do YOU want to see improved?

"General reliability and stability" and "Improved data structures" of course. Developers like to code features instead of valgrinding. Too bad. On my ubuntu I see wesnoth consume more than 1 GB of memory when connected to multiplayer. I don't know whether it has always been that ...

Re: [PblWML] How to get a custom icon for MP Era?

Note that the problem with a custom image is not any better with other addon types. Campaigns have it as well .It's just so that sp campaigns have no need to transfer images over the wesnothd server (it can't), since there is only a single client, so they can afford custom images much better.

Re: Older Campaigns

http://add-ons.wesnoth.org/ The question likely was referring to an older wesnoth version, not older campaign versions. That's what you can get from that URL. They likely will not work with a current wesnoth version, but only with older wesnoth version then (a wesnoth version from the time the addo...

Re: Reason for Villages healing +8 & Castles/Keeps 0

Dixie: Kind of offtopic, but medieval castles very often had a secret tunnel as well, to be able to survive a long siege as well. This is of course against what you wanna prove. ;)
Forget realism.
