Nobody here (unless some crazy person shows up in the next 5 minutes offering to do other peoples work), will code your... draw your... write your... anything. However EVERYONE here will be more than happy to help you do it yourself.

That being said welcome to wesnoth. The links I posted above are a great start.

Also I find that its best to just start off with a simple multiplayer (open ended) scenario and slowly build it up and up as you learn.

To get started coding:

Open any shipped multiplayer scenario with notepad. And make sure to check the box that says "always use this program". Save a copy of it. Start modifying it to get your feet wet. And then when you start making your own stuff "save as" "all filetypes" ".cfg".

If you need more specific help or get stuck, you will find that wesnoth has one extremely helpful community (just not helpful enough to do other peoples work for them).

If you're scared, WML is almost the easiest language to learn ever. Second only to pig latin. You'll be as you say "code savvy" in no time. Trust me.

LOL, I already sent him a PM asking about the storyline.

If the story is good, I may help a bit.

Are you sure coding really needed? Go to Multiplayer, Local game. Create a game of 6 opponents with the default era and group them in two teams. Select the appropriate factions. You got it!

Well, you want to play it on your own map. Simple as well. Make the map and insert it into the game just as other maps are introduced.

You can do that?

Yes, just design your map properly in the map editor, and make sure to use the flag button to set up starting positions as well.

I have had a request to post the Story line on this Game i want to create.

The game starts with to basic teams

The good guys(Loyalist(mandatory) and the elves/dwarfs

The bad guys (Dragons(mandatory) and the undead/orcs/trolls

The battle commences when the loyalists send a messenger(Fleet foot or whatever he is called,he is a outcast in the island level) to the dwarfs/elves to ask for help because the dragons are ravaging the home.The have poisoned the Mermen water and have cut off the roads to Mer-lake and the ivory coast.The mer-people are dying from lack of water!The loyalist believe that the mighty elves and the powerful Dwarfs can save them.

The loyalist are in the Kings square castle.
The Dwarfs/elves are in the Nomads farmland

The dragons start in the Caves
The orcs(if chosen)start in the desert
The trolls(if chosen) start at mere-lake
The undead(if chosen) start in the Snow capped mountains

The objective is to liberate the Desert/Mere-lake/Mountains from the Dragons.
The Player must survive till the end of the turns and have
killed the leader of the Orcs/Trolls/Undead to win

The player receives a bonus for killing the dragon leader.

The player loses if
A.The Loyalist fort is captured(leader A is killed)

B.The Nomad Farms are captured(Leader B is killed)

C.The Turns run out with no fort reclaimed

That'\s my story so far.If any of you have comments please tell me.But P.M. me if you have any additional concerns.I will try to flesh this out as is.

The way I've written it out thought this is definitely going to be a campaign

Sounds interesting, at the least. I may watch and see how this develops, unless you have the entire campaign plotted out and ready.

That's something different. It does require coding, unless all the story happens in your imagination. Maybe you could try the scenario before starting to code. Design the map, add to the game, and select carefully sides and teams. Put the turn limit, and you have your scenario working.

If you want to add the story later, or to enforce just this sides for other players to play it, you could add the coding later. But this will give the opportunity of starting with an important work: balancing the scenario, while you learn the coding.

Good luck!

I have already played i through and it is interesting.It is developed to be multi-player but single is doable.I've had to set a pretty high turn-set to give you time to destroy a king because the Undead breed like mad and you can't get to their leader and the orcs hide behind the Undead.

Does anyone know how to get the dragons to make more than 3 soldiers?

I have written a back story for these(yes multiple) scenarios

Ok i have started the Coding for my Scenario but i can't figure out what the code is to gather the map i want.I think i need a preprocessor or something like that.Can anyone tell me how to make one?

Code: Select all

Put code inside [code] tags :D

Did it work when you tried it? What problems specifically are we to look for :s
