Defense of the Castle: Version 0.1.1: A few bugs fixed

[Flametrooper]

DotX's are my favorite thing to play, and I've been playing them a lot lately. I decided to create my own, similar to yet different from the other ones out there. Thus I present the latest DotX: Defense of the Castle. You defend not a unit, but a location! An enemy must simpky move to your team's keep and they win, so be careful. However, you can buy guards for your keep and walls in front of it, etc. Like all DotX's, there are spawning creeps, which you can upgrade, and you can upgrade your hero. In testing, there seem to be no bugs, although since as yet I have only tested against the AI many balance issues may as yet be unsolved. So don't wait - head over to the campaign server and try it out!

Hehehe... Just like the original version of DotW!

And it was called DotC!!!

I wonder if its the exact same scenario. With 10 konrads on the right side. hehehe.

Really? I didn't know that at all, I swear. That's just...weird.
Oh well, I guess great minds think alike.

Is there any special reason why you don't want your creeps to avoid villages?

[Flametrooper]

I don't care either way. Why, are they targeting villages like mad? If so, how can I change that?

[Baufo]

If you don't want them to care for villages much

Code: Select all

[ai] 
village_value=-50.0 
[/ai] 

inside the [side] tag might help.
But if you really want them not to step on them you can use

Code: Select all

[ai] 
[avoid]
x=x-coordinate of a village
y=y-coordinate of a village
[/avoid]
[/ai]

After playing consecutive DotC games, I must say it's a lot of fun. A great addition to the DotX scenario library. So it was surprising when my fellow players and I ran into a possible bank problem in the second game. After repeatedly killing enemy leaders near their spawn point keeps (don't know exactly which hex) two players of the opposing team reported that their bank savings were lost. Unfortunately, I cannot say what the exact circumstances in which this event occurred, only that experienced players who invested lost their savings somehow. I vaguely recall someone saying their balance had been severely reduced.

Plus, I was able to use their shops against them, either by healing my hero or investing all the 'blood' money I collected.

But no matter what you decide to do, we would like to extend our appreciation for your efforts to make Wesnoth more fun.

[Flametrooper]

Woah. Someone ressurected this.

I just made it as a test of WML, and a learning exercise, and because I like DotX games...

I'll see what I can do about the problems you mentioned - using other player's shops and mysterious bank reductions? I'll try to fix this.

Glad someone played it and enjoyed it!

This extension doesn't work... I don't know why

I tried to edit dotc_scenario.cfg and I've found this (possibly) incorrect line:

Code: Select all

map_data="{~/campaigns/DotC/DotC.MAP}"

all other campaigns or multiplayer has a link to their map_data WITHOUT the "/" after the "~"... I tried to remove it and restart... but there are other errors of tag not closed...

can someone explain me what should I do?
