Re: Wesnoth 1.12.6

Post by Iris »

I’m slightly confused. Are you unable to connect to the MP server, or just unable to create games in it? The version of Wesnoth included with Debian jessie is 1.10.7. Is that the version you were using? The release of 1.12.6 has nothing to do with support for 1.10.x on the scarcely-populated official 1.10 server (which will remain online until 1.14.0 is released, but isn’t much fun to play with since everyone moved to 1.12 over a year ago). That is, unless it coincided with some configuration change on your PC or network/ISP that’s preventing you from connecting to the MP server.

All that said, version 1.12.6 is available from jessie-backports (see the instructions on using backports).

(And in the case you were previously using version 1.12.5 and didn’t build it yourself, then how/where did you obtain it for jessie?)

Lets see:
I'm only unable to create games in MP.
The version I was using before is 1.12.5 (it didn't do that problem).
I don't exactly know how 1.12.5 was installed and I'm not a programmer so I can't install it from backports.

But I saw that maybe I can re-install it from Synaptic package manager so I'll try it first.

The re-install did not help, but I found the problem now: which add-on contains the village has code ^Vya?

Looks like World Conquest II (and World Conquest 2).

You don't need to be. Just follow the instructions which shadowm posted.
Or, with synaptic, maybe you can do that at Settings -> Repositories -> New

You could end up having 1.12.5 and 1.12.6 installed then. Before installing 1.12.6, this command may help finding it

Code: Select all

whereis wesnoth
Maybe you even have it already from the backports and just need to update your system?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

There exists a package wesnoth-1.12-server - Is that only required for local MP games?
Try out the dark board theme.

I don't know what helped, (i did install and remove WC II) but the problem is now the terrain Gg^Effy, but I don't know why. Is it also in WC II?

Again: I re-installed Wesnoth, but id did not help. :-(

Do you have a ton of add-ons installed? Where exactly, in the MP creation process, do you run into trouble?

Let's see:
I have got After the Storm and Invasion from the Unknown (with the music of them) by ShadowMaster.
I have got Bad Moon Rising, Trinity and Archaic Era (with archaic resources and sounds) by you.
I have Royal Rumble, Switch Leader, 2p/3p survival, Scroll Survival (with co-op mod).
And finally I have my campaign in progress called Secret of the Eternal Life.

The SP campaigns should be safe, but the MP add-ons might be the source of the trouble, rather than Wesnoth itself. If undefined terrain codes are in some map you have, and Wesnoth tries & fails to load it when you click "create game", that would make sense.

I have very little knowledge about MP, but an easy thing you could try is to move all add-ons to some other folder so Wesnoth can't find them, then try to start a local game. If that works, try a networked game. If that works, start putting the add-ons back, one at a time, until the game fails. Then you know the add-on causing trouble. If it fails without any add-ons, then there really is something wrong and it will be more difficult to troubleshoot.

I moved the multiplayer add-ons to folder wesnoth can't find and nothing happened. It didn't help.

There are currently no plans for a 1.12.7 release, a 1.12.7 elease wll comne when there are enough important bugfixed to make it worth, as you can see here https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/commits/1.12 there have been only few commits since the 1.12.6 release.

If the addon folder did not appear simply start an skirmish round then quit, it should get created then. If that too did not function somehow then connect to the addons server, dl any addon, since game needs to place it somewhere will create the folder at it's intended spot.

Playing through HttT at the Ford of Abez level when the sea monsters appeared it produced this line in stderr, the game did not crash or become weird though.
