DrownedDungeon Multiplayer RPG Quest

wulf · Post by **wulf** » July 3rd, 2006, 8:03 pm

hi there

in the attachment you will find a multiplayer quest for 6 players.
version 0.5
This quest is called DrownedDungeon.
the 6 players building a party with their leaders. the goal of the party is to get the golden ornate. for this teamplay will be needed.
the quest is not finished yet, but it is playable.
side 1-6 are the multiplayers, side 7 MUST be set to ai . expierience should be 100%, endless turns. fog of war and shroud should be on.
gold is not important, cause there is no recruitment.
if there is something wrong with this mp-scenario (i am a non-programmer and not a native english speaker)
or if you got any suggestions, please post it on the wesnoth-forum.

p.s. iit may not work with development version 1.1.7,
cause it supports no Gate unit (i wonder why).

hi there!

in the attachment you will find the actual version 0.5.2 of DrownedDungeon.

whats new?
-new intro
-deleted all gate units (i would like to use them)
-first time i used macros. (got some troubble to load them from an extra file, maybe there is someone who can help me?)
-some walking corpse

just add the content of the zip file
( a folder called MP_DrownedDungeon and the file MP_DrownedDungeon.cfg)
to your campaigns/ folder.

Comments on the code:

* [+side]? I would advise against using that. Just deleting the [/side] and the [+side] on the next line should work fine.

* The Gate unit does not exist in 1.1.7 - perhaps use something else.

* The indention is... wierd. What editor are you using?

hi turin!

thanks for your comment.

i followed your advise not to work with [+side]. it works.

i am disappointed about the fact, that version 1.1.7 do not support gate units anymore.
i can not understand why.

i used GEdit to work on my files.
a beautifull small and clear text editor for non-programmers : )
"cut and paste" works fine.

the indention is weired, cause i made something wrong with the settings of GEdit.

so long

If you search a bit you could find that the campaign specific unit has been moved inside said campaigns (-> EI)
...so maybe you could include it if you add its files.

maybe this should be my next homework

Actually, it has been deleted from EI.

It was removed because nothing uses it.

today i put the quest drowneddungeon version 0.5.3 on the campaign server.
now it can be downloaded from there.
i hope, everything is working fine.

next work will be to use a random factor, so that the golden ornate must be find in different places.

have fun and watch out for the cave spider

you could extract the gate unit from an older version and re-add it as a campaign specific unit in your campaign...

if i would use a scenario specfic unit, all multiplayers on for example the wesnoth game server, who want to join or play the game, need to have the scenario file installed.
i am not sure, but i think it is like this.

that is a point that makes my mp-scenario less playable, cause everybody need to download something first.
thats why i did not use selfmade images or items.
(ok i am a bad artist, too)

now i found a solution without the gate unit.
gates would be nicer even in an rpg quest, but i can live without them.

I couldn't play this version because I don't have a "lord" unit. Where do I get it?

Post by **Noyga** » July 23rd, 2006, 10:51 pm

Just replace the 2 occurences of "Lord" by "Grand Marshal" in the main .cfg and it will work on 1.1.x

Well, I had to open the .cfg file in a word document, but it worked. Now I can play it.

Thank you.

i fixed this. in v0.5.7 konrad is now promoted to a Grand Marshal.
so the quest should run under 1.1.7, too.
(i did not test this. i got 1.1.7. installed under my second OS windows,
but with my 500MHz machine wesnoth is not playable anymore, cause it gets too slow.)

i tried to upload my quest to the 1.1.7 campaign server, but it did not work.
and i don`t know why.

version 0.5.7 is still buggy!

i used a random variable to hide the "Golden Ornate" in different places (aktually 2).
it seems that in a multiplayer game, every connected player gets his "own" random variable.
that means that some players see the "Golden Ornate", some not.
this will cause OOS errors in multiplayer mode.
this error occurs especially, if the party went the "wrong" way.

the only solution for this problem i can see at this time will be, to create a quest without that random variable.
that is sad, cause there will be only 1 solution to solve the quest.
