How to set a maximum starting gold for a campaign scenario?



Completely seperate from that problem I get an error when starting the campaign. If I get into the scenario from the previous scenarios save, I get "unknown scenario" message.

[/scenario]

The error points to {GOLD 35 45 55} on line 87 in scenario file. and to utils.cfg in Wesnoths core.

That part in utils.cfg:

Code: Select all

#define GOLD EASY_AMOUNT NORMAL_AMOUNT HARD_AMOUNT
    # Macro which will let you say {GOLD x y z} to set
    # starting gold depending on easy/medium/hard - x/y/z
    {QUANTITY gold {EASY_AMOUNT} {NORMAL_AMOUNT} {HARD_AMOUNT}}
#enddef

I removed the {GOLD 35 45 55} line and then it points to next {} thing. {INCOME 2 3 5}.

You are missing several quotation marks (") at leader_aggression="-4. All of them if I see correctly.
Usually any error message that starts with "too many nested stuff" and points to funny locations usually mean a missing " or }.

Setting maximum gold for a side is pretty straightforward, at the start of the scenario you can check whether its gold is too high. If it is, set it to the maximum.

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=start
    [store_gold]
        side= ... the relevant side
        variable=gold
    [/store_gold]
    [if]
        [variable]
            name=gold
            greater_than=  your maximum here
        [/variable]
        [then]
            [modify_side]
                side= ... the side
                gold= ... the maximum
            [/modify_side]
        [/then]
    [/if]
    {CLEAR_VARIABLE gold}
[/event]
