World Conquest NM

Re: World Conquest NM
My friend and I are doing a run on nightmare difficulty, and we noticed that the AI doesn't use all of his gold (i.e. each turn he might not recruit a full castle even though he has 600+ gold)
Re: World Conquest NM
i too encountered this bug. here's a replay of it happening on the first level.
the enemy seems to recruit every other turn or something... but not consistently. it's quite bizarre.
after i beat this level, though, the second scenario had no AI recruiting hangups.

Re: World Conquest NM
My friend and I are encountering an issue where, after loading from the middle of a scenario, upon ending the turn the non-host players will experience out-of-sync issues, the description saying "unknown source of attacks".
Sometimes during the enemy turn where the sync error occurs, me (being the host) gets this error message:

Then it kicks me from the game.

Re: World Conquest NM
I just watched the replay and get an OOS right before the defective AI behavior. IMO, those errors are beyond the scope of the campaign. I'd need to know how to reproduce the errors to be able to work on it. As for now, such issues hasn't show up on my system.
@turret544:
Looking at your screenshot, I notice your client version is 1.7.15-1.8rc1.
Updating to the latest Wesnoth version should resolve this issue.
@Death:
There is indeed a bug. I have been able to somewhat reproduce this. The misbehavior shows up when loading a replay from main menu. That also seems to be an issue with the AI and your client version; hard to tell. While this problem hasn't show up here in gameplay, an OOS is produced when watching the sample replays I tried. On the other hand, once the replay is loaded, if you reload the replay (from preference -> load), everything is okay, at least with the samples I produced, not with your replay. An other strange behavior, maybe the root of this; when you click the stop button in the replay (the one that resets the replay to the beginning), more heroes are spawned on each player sides, of course causing OOS after some turns.
I'll upload a new version tonight, hoping it fixes most problems; we'll then see what happens next.

Re: World Conquest NM
Tonight I updated up to WC version 1.8.0c on wesnoth version 1.8
Running a local game, I noticed that upon proceeding to the second scenario, there is no bonus gold carried over. All three players started the second scenario with the bare minimum 175 gold, despite the intended 400+ carryover gold for each player.

Re: World Conquest NM
I am quite glad to hear this is the only issue. The gold not carrying over is on purpose. That was initially a bug, but since it allows more control over the difficulty level, it has been left as it is.
Balancing the carryover gold requires more time than available at the moment. You can expect to see it back somewhere in the near future. But since some new goodies are waiting to get in, the gold balance will be accounted once those features makes it through.
In the meanwhile, I do hope the campaign is still fun and playable.

Please note, that local games are very different to games played on the server, especially regarding savegame information processing. You might encounter bugs for a local game that are not found on the server and vice versa.

Re: World Conquest NM
hi, another small bug, i *think* i'm playing the latest version so it should be relevant:
when playing rebels, and selecting "cultivate new recruits," many of the selections are units already available (elvish fighters, etc.). I've only seen it for rebels.
also, another minor one:
dunno what causes it. found on level 4

What is going on
Thank you all for your help and feedback.
World Conquest has initially been written on 1.4 by TL, then ported to 1.6. Since then TL stepped on a teleporter and disappeared out of sight leaving an impressive pile of code behind. While WC was indeed fantastic in it's possibilities, it still lacked a maintainer. Then some Wesnoth's RNG threw in weird numbers and elected me as said maintainer.
From since then, lots of new bugs showed up and some older still lurks in. Many has been fixed, but the beastly nature of TL's masterpiece of work required more to be done. Then in the process of assimilating it, a complete rewrite couldn't be avoided.
So this is where we are today. I'm completely rewriting WC plus or minus from scratch. Fitting in new hacks and removing those antiquated from previous versions.
Despite a very limited time frame, I have lots of fun doing it and the process is advancing at an encouraging speed. I consider myself privileged to witness TL's artwork and only hope to bring up the flame to what will soon be World Conquest v2 in a renewal of it's former glory.
In the mean time, forgive me if some bugs like "male_names=" still shows up (that's an old bug), I'll freeze 1.9 as it is and spend my time on the next completely rewritten release.
So, the goal of this message was simply to bring in some signal about WC not being really dead but just awaiting it's next reincarnation.
have fun,
Nat.

Re: World Conquest NM
i'm not sure if this still applies or not, but something changed between 1.8.1 and 1.8.2. i was trying to play a game a little bit ago, i had 1.8.2, P2 had 1.8.1 and P3 had 1.8.0. however, while they could see all items in the same locations, they were in different locations for me. so for example, while they would see that a unit had gotten arcane melee and increased damage, i would see that nothing happened which would eventually cause OOS.

Re: World Conquest NM
changelog 1.12:
Gold is working like it was on 1.6 ... I think.
The carryover dialog at the end of each scenarios might be wrong of 1 gp due to some rounding, but overall each players should receive the right amount of money.
Have fun.
@ turret544: Basically, everything is fixed by now.
@ Pentarctagon: There seems to be OOS issues between 1.8.2 and other 1.8.x versions. So far as my tests can tell, if every players use 1.8.2, the campaign runs fine.
@ jb: The previous formula even turned lead into gold.
