We are happy to announce that Wesnoth is now able to accept donations on Liberapay . While Wesnoth does rely on the work of dedicated volunteers, no project can function completely cost-free. Revenue from the Apple App Store and from donations goes towards maintaining our servers,...
The thread for changes from 1.10 to 1.12 is here .
Deprecated or removed feature:
The FOREACH macro is deprecated, use instead
The ABILITY_LEADERSHIP_LEVEL_1 ..5 macros are deprecated and are now aliases for the new more general ABILITY_LEADERSHIP macro.
The ~BRIGHTEN() (which was...
There have been numerous important forum posts and wiki articles written by users and developers. We reference these pages a lot, and decided to put them together in a convenient list.

Here you can find configuration files to enable WML syntax highlighting for various text editors :
Gedit (and other Gnome based editors): Has full WML support and partial inline lua support.
wml.lang goes in /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs .
cobalt-wml.xml goes in...
The purpose of this thread is to provide links to particularly useful information and code examples of WML and Lua on the wiki, without cluttering up this forum with more and more stickies. As such, the wiki pages linked here should be kept working and up to date - if an unmodified piece of example...
Does you campaign produce obscure WML errors on startup and you don't know what line in your 2000 lines of WML causes it? Instead of going through everything line by line and try to spot the mistake you've made, or before posting your entire campaign on the forums in the hopes that someone wants to...
People often use WML attribute or tag names that are misspelled or just plain fictitious when trying to debug WML — or even tag structures that (to the trained eye) are logical to the writer but have no basis in reality. You should always look up the proper format first, and we have a dedicated...
A have a unit named Moho on side 1. Also on side 1 are units with a special plague type called fungal plague. I want Moho to gain experience whenever an enemy unit is killed by any side 1 unit using their fungal plague attack. I've tried many different filters and variations, and I can't get it...
A while ago I made a mod to make the first non-loyal recruited unit into a leader, however it didn't quite work out. Now I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong and how I can get the intended functionality.
This should
1. Check if the recruited unit is loyal and on the currently active side
2....
I'm currently making a custom map and would like to use terrains from a campaign I liked.
In the map editor, I am told that the terrains I want to use are non-core and will not work without extra care. Is there a way to use a set of terrains globally?
Time for my (almost) daily question. Thank you for helping me, WML Workshop. I'm about 80% done coding my campaign, so this barrage of WML questions will not be going on much longer.
In my scenario-in-progress, there exists a deadly pool. It is one hex in size (hex 8,3). If a unit stands in the...
I have a custom healer-type unit who uses potions. He heals the usual 4 hit points of damage. I want to weaken this healer a little, but in an interesting way. Specifically, I want to limit him to healing 20 hit points of damage, total.
When the healer reaches his maximum points of damage healed...
Playing very big multiplayer maps with a lot of units will make even the Default AI go excruciatingly slow, so I was wondering if it was possible to make the AI go faster in any way, even at the cost of worse performance, strategically.
I am not very experienced in AI WML, so I have no idea if this...
I have an orcish archer (id=Megdar) with the guardian status, and I changed his max_moves to 3. Now he waits patiently until someone gets close before he springs into action. It works great. However, once in a while Megdar somehow doesn't get killed by the player right away, and then he's stuck...
I would like the selected campaign difficulty to appear in the objectives window. I think it might look nice at the top, on the same line and right after the scenario name. For example: The Orcish Village (Difficulty: Normal). Is this possible? How?
I made a custom running animation for a bug. The animation looks fine when the bug moves 2 or more hexes. Unfortunately, the animation looks odd when the unit moves only 1 hex. Consequently, I would prefer that the unit not employ its running animation when simply moving 1 hex. How would I do that?...
I'm working on a new unit based on a frog (I already made some of the animations). After the unit attacks, instead of 0 moves, I want it to have 1 moves, allowing it to hop to an adjacent hex. This hopping should only work if the unit did not move before attacking. This feature is almost identical...
Hi! Just curious if there is/are any ways to customize the UI in WML. I know you can do it in Lua but I'm still not quite able to understanding Lua's ins and outs on how to make it work.
I'm imagining something along the lines of Legends of the Invicibles UI that they made using Lua but maybe in...
Like everybody, I use # to make areas of code stop working while debugging. But sometimes I want many, many lines to temporarily stop working, such as conversations between units, so adding and subtracting a zillion #s is time-consuming. As far as I know, there is no ignore tag, where if you put...
In my scenario-in-progress, I place a boat on the map at some point, and I want it to flash to draw the player's attention to it. The x,y coordinates are the location of the boat, I'm sure, but the macro requires two other values.
I need the computer opponent to protect a special village located at hex 13,5, deep in enemy territory.
I copied some AI code for this purpose, but while playtesting I noticed an oddity. If a side 1 unit has captured the special village and is killed at some point, the enemy doesn't always bother...
A victory condition of my scenario-in-progress requires that a unit from side 1 remain in a particular village (deep in enemy territory) for 3 consecutive turns.
I used name=capture to respond to the first time a side=1 unit enters and captures the village, but evidently capture has no further...
HI, I am defining some WML for tournament setting. I am wondering if the structure or the keywords could be improved.
Maybe some past tournament organizers for wesnoth or elsewhere have some ideas to share. Here is an example:
I was experimenting with to try and create a more artificial flow to one of my scenarios. I tried two different modifiers to achieve this:
However, after I did, the AI turn MUCH longer to finish their turns and move their units. After each movement from a unit, there was a freeze. Did I...
I'm working on my campaign, and one of my units has a problem in scenario 5 they didn't have in previous scenarios, and I don't know what is causing it. The character (id=locket) is shown, but the hex they move to says image not found on it. This wasn't a problem in previous scenarios.
I did some tests with filter_condition . Wow, filter_condition seems powerful, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm thinking it might replace if...then in some situations. Sometimes my blocks of code gets lengthy because of if...then , and maybe filter_condition is a way to break-up a chain of...
My enemy unit Vinkus can't flag a village for some reason.
In my campaign's first scenario, Vinkus is the enemy leader of side 2. Vinkus almost certainly survives the skirmish. His data is stored via store_unit , so he can reappear in the middle of Scenario 2.
I have a campaign I'm trying to make a little fancier.
The enemy leader of Scenario 1, called Vinkus, is probably not going to be killed before a victory condition is met. Therefore, I want him to pop-up on a random turn in Scenario 2 and cause more trouble. I got the random turn part figured...
I am trying to make a new type of terrain, I have succeeded but I can't seem to add a graphic to it, I only wan't to add one image. please help me, thank you in advance.
I have not yet found a way to create menu items, I even tried copying them from eighteenth century warfare but to no succsess, the specific thing I am trying to do is make a unit that can summon another unit, I did that once before but the trigger was the attack Deploy robots could somebody please...
So i am a huge culprit of nested macros. Like macros inside of macros inside of macros inside of macros inside of macros, etc (this still isnt even close to how deep my nested macros go; its actually far worse than this...). My Addon that ive been working on for 3 years is very poorly optimized and...
