The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I can get a game for a discount with 3 addons 9 races and 4 campaings, not to mention exact the same price and a hell lot more depth (sorry to say) How good or bad a game is has nothing to do with numbers like these. On average, I'd say that games with 3 races are more fun than games with 9 races, ...

lol, if you leave a thread for a long time, you end up talking about things no one else has talked about in a long time. Oh, well, I don't care: You all know it. When someone says something as little as, "no, the black stapler doesn't work. go get the white one." they say it's racist. When...

It's worth bearing in mind that, whilst we know Mal Keshar went on for ages and killed tonnes of foolish heroes, he basically hid in a cave for the rest of his life existence - his title/lich name would not have been widely known, if at all. He only emerged again in the (currently non-official-cano...

Sounds like we all agree that "arcane" works better than "mystique".

You don't have to uninstall to upgrade. Wesnoth, like all modern programs, can be upgraded by running the installer for the new version without uninstalling the old version.

Actually, it doesn't report fragments. It just googles some of your post text, and copy/pastes whichever forum post it finds that looks most like the answer to what you're looking for, and adds ads tot he bottom. Pretty neat, actually. If your users tend to ask questions that have already been answe...

On the subject of transparency, hi Zerovirus! Have you tried Paint.NET yet? I think I recommended it to you as something slightly better than Paint.

My first usernames were "cool" and "dark" like "shadowstriker9" since I was ten years old and that kind of stuff was trendy. Since then, I started disliking having numbers after my name, and at around the same time I somehow had the presence of mind that "dark"...

As I've repeated many times now, the easiest way to make an updater:

Take the standalone installer, and remove all the music and images (and other datafiles) that didn't change.

Voila, that should bring the 290 MB installer down to 50 MB or so.

As far as I know, even if you couldn't do what Gambit suggested, you can just change the unit to another faction allied to you, and droid that faction. It would have mostly the same effect.

"Throwing up a dialogue" as you suggest is an atrocious UI design - it's actually worse than a passive bit of text on the screen, because it triggers an annoyance-response from the user and causes them to try and dismiss it to get back to what they were trying to do. I've seen games try t...

Also, pick a better font than Comic Sans. Ye gods.

And I think this belongs somewhere other than Off-Topic. It looks like it could be useful.

I voted for 1x Warzone and 3x Wesnoth.

Honestly, neither Wesnoth nor Warzone have particularly good stories, and I say that as a Warzone developer. Wesnoth is really generic fantasy, and Warzone is really generic post-apocalyptic setting. Warzone does get points for being realistic and not having many generic sci-fi tropes, though, and b...

Before I get any oddball questions, "genetic" determination of gender here goes not refer to physical traits or surgeries performed but to the sex chromosome combination (even abnormal sex chromosome combinations are said to be either male or female). If we find that there is a huge trans...
