Eastern Invasion

I restarted the campaign using heavy infantry... it makes life so much easier. I had no major problem holding my own and actually beating up the enemies troops even in medium level while before I struggled in easy.
On such a fasst scenario with 100 gold starting money adding a lot of village in the back, north and south is not helping much, you just don't have troop to spare to take them. I even din't had time/units to take some of the enemies village for a while after I killed the unit inside because my priority was to protect my own units.

I find that buying two spearmen and sending them off to capture the surrounding villages is well worth the effort, since they can get them all in around 4 or 5 rounds and then be in combat when your first wave of troops are flagging. Given that you're going to be there for at least 10 (?) rounds, you might as well earn that extra money.

11 rounds. he comes on the 12th turn.

0.1.6 is here. scenario after U.B.P. is finished (get to it by killing the lich)

I'll probably have the next scenario sometime next week.

When trying to start it on easy wesnoth crashes. It works fine on medium.

I'm playing Wesnoth version 0.6.99.4.

I don't get any errors, it just dies.

i have never gotten this problem, but i always play on medium. i have heard someone talk about this problem, though.
i'll look into it.

I think i fixed the problem. anyway, here is the newest version

Post by **turin** » March 9th, 2004, 10:03 pm

in this version,. then scenario after Elven Alliance, Undead Border Patrol and Mal-Ravanal's Capital has been finished. however, i think you may have to pay to recall Dacyn (i'm not sure). If this is true, it will be fixed by the next release.

OK, i just downloaded 0.6.99.5, and in am MAD.

You changed the name of the wesnoth directory from wesnoth-data to wesnoth! why?!? that ruined my makefile! i had to rewrite it!!!

no, really, i don't understand this decision.
(The actual point of this post: basically, if you downloaded my campaign for 0.6.99.5, then you will have to rewrite the makefile a bit)

Actually, I think this is a Debian related question. Not upstream.

For my Makefile, I search beetween multiple potential paths.

Code: Select all

INSTALL_LOCATIONS=\
  /usr/local/share/wesnoth/\
  /usr/share/wesnoth\
  /usr/share/games/wesnoth-data\
  /opt/share/wesnoth\
  /usr/share/games/wesnoth

But of course, there is still the problem of non Unix systems...

of course, this problem would probably be solved if i understood makefiles at all...
however, i don't.
basically, i just found it irritating that the location was changed, and i wanted to express that irritation.

If this can be of some help, here's my makefile:

Code: Select all

INSTALL_LOCATIONS=\
  /usr/local/share/wesnoth/\
  /usr/share/wesnoth\
  /usr/share/games/wesnoth-data\
  /opt/share/wesnoth\
  /usr/share/games/wesnoth

# Original files to backup
BKPFILES=data/scenarios/Crossroads.cfg

install:
        @for i in $(INSTALL_LOCATIONS); do\
          if [ -d $$i ]; then\
            echo "Found a Wesnoth directory here: $$i";\
            echo "Install? (type 'y' to proceed)"; read YES;\
            if [ "$$YES" = "y" ]; then \
              for bkp in $(BKPFILES); do \
                echo "Backuping modified file $$i/$$bkp...";\
                mv $$i/$$bkp $$i/$$bkp.backup;\
              done;\
              for file in \
                `find . -name "*.png" -o -name "*.cfg" -o -path "*/maps/*"`;do\
                echo "Installing $$file to $$i...";\
                ./install-sh -c -m 644 $$file $$i/$$file;\
                done;\
              exit 0;\
            fi; \
          fi;\
        done;\
        echo "no wesnoth directory found" && exit 1

The call to install.sh can be safely replaced with standard Unix command 'install'.

Indeed it is. I have no idea what all this is about.

I'm not sure of any non-Unix systems for which a Makefile is likely to work at all.

For Windows, I recommend using InnoSetup to make a setup.exe (of course, this does mean that people have to run an executable just to use your campaign, but....that's the Windows security model for you....)

Just restore from your backup.... you did your daily backups, didnt you?

Post by **turin** » March 18th, 2004, 2:10 am

of course i do backups...
my basic point was that there was no reason to change the name of the directory where everything was stored from 'wesnoth-data' to 'wesnoth'. i found it somewhat irritating.

Anyway, i have the next version of my campaign ready for download. However, it refuses to upload to the website. Probably it is too big a file, but it is only 100kb, and the files are allowed to be 500kb.

Post by **turin** » March 18th, 2004, 3:19 am

OK... this will, hopefully, work. tell me if you can download the file.

lsimmons.net/joe/loyalistcampaign3.tar.gz

i can't test it because of firewall or something...i don't really understand it, someone just told me it would work.
