Wesnoth 1.3.3

Post by **ivanovic** » June 3rd, 2007, 11:42 am

Wesnoth 1.3.3 is out!

Just another development release. This time we feature a whole lot of new stuff. Eg due to our changed policy for adding campaigns to mainline 4 new campaigns did find their way into this release. Of course most of these campaigns are not completely translated yet, but if you want to help getting them complete, contact the translation maintainers listed here. We did add some "comment" about the length of every campaign to the selection and tried to adjust the difficulty level naming scheme to be more uniform over all campaigns. Now you can more easily see the difficulty level because if difficulty levels are named the same in two campaigns, they should be about equally difficult in that level.

Beside this the whole directory structure was changed to make sanity checking more simple for our tools and to regain some structure. Ingame you won't see any difference, as long as you do make sure that the game was uninstalled before the new version is installed. If you don't do so, you might get quite some problems.

Due to some strange bug in our tools, some mp maps do have a problem, they lack the topmost row. This results in these maps (not all of them, only some) being broken/unbalanced. There is already a patch for this available in this forum thread.

Of course there were many other changes. For example balancing was further adjusted and many other things did change. For a more complete list (not 100% complete, some devs tend to forget adding entries) have a look at the changelog. A changelog with the changes that might be visible to most users (and that does only include these) is the players_changelog.

Downloads
Sources:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wesn ... 2?download (81.9MB) md5sum
Here is the xDelta for the sources:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wesnot ... a?download (1.3.2 to 1.3.3, 22.4MB)
Check http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7034 for info on using xdelta.

Now even the Windows binary is ready, it does directly include the hotfix for the problems with the MP maps:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wesnot ... e?download (75.5MB)

But the MacOSX Binary is ready and seems to work now (the filename has a 1.3.3a in it, the plain 1.3.3 did not work). The size did even reduce compared to the last release, even though all the new content made the sourcetarball increase a lot... Please keep in mind that OSX 10.3+ is required:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wesnot ... g?download (full version, 81.9MB)
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wesnot ... g?download (lite version (no artwork and music), 49.1MB)

No idea which Linux binaries are ready, but all the known packagers have been contacted. Infos about where to get the respective binaries or how to get them work you get on the Linux binaries site.

This time we even have one new package for you: An (Open) Solaris Binary.

As a fallback you can also get the sources from http://files.wesnoth.org/ - you should first try to get files through SourceForge to help us save bandwidth.

Soon we will forbid 1.3.2 on the mp server because it does cause problems when playing together with 1.3.3 clients. So consider to update as soon as possible.

If you find any bugs don't hesitate to report them after reading the instructions about how to post them. Instructions for bug reporting can be found at http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/ReportingBugs.

Enjoy!

Feedback on Descent into Darkness would be greatly appreciated.

Thx very much. The new version is allready more active on the MP server. I like the new toned down fear trait.

Small but significant improvement regarding the graphic.

Only downside is slight performance problems on my computer 2,66 Ghz, Windows, 512 MB. In no way a high end machine
Performance in the way that a click does not immeadtly shows a response but needs the fraction of a sec to respond. Kind of strange.

Sombra, if you compile from source you could make these couple changes:
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth?rev= ... 0&view=rev

It has to do with the way all the units on a map are being passed to a pathfinding function.

I got the new 1.3.3 download and when I run the setup, it says that the "files are corupted" and that I should "obtain a new copy of the program". Please help. (note: I am somewhat technologically impaired.)

Well, the error message is rather clear. Something went wrong with your download and data got corrupted. If you don't have such problems all the time, doing a fresh download should fix it.

I re-downloaded it several times, restarted the computer, etc. It never worked. It is probably just something with my computer, if other people are not having this problem. Later, I downloaded 1.2.4, and all was fine.

I just subscribed to this thread hoping that some user who's smarter than me will compile and upload a properly working windows version.

Waiting 2 or more (sometimes 10) seconds for every unit to move is much too much.

TIA

ps. I remember learning Basic on ZX Spectrum ~20 years ago - pathfinding routines in very simple games took less than one tenth of a second.
