CVS Snapshot: Dec 19, 2003 - Source and Windows binary

[Dave]

I have compiled a binary snapshot for Windows: http://www.wesnoth.org/files/win-snapshot-19_dec_04.exe

Note that this is a snapshot of CVS. Little testing has been done on it. It may have problems. Please do not use this version if you are expecting something stable.

Bug reports are appreciated. That's the main reason the snapshot is provided.

Major new feature is a random map generator: if you start a multiplayer game, and choose 'random map', a map will be generated for you. The map generator can be configured by editing the file data/terrain_generator.cfg inside the distribution.

Feedback on the quality of the maps generated, and possible improvements, would be appreciated. Major known problem is that castle placement isn't very good.

There is also a new system of saving games which should make loading games much faster. Testing of saving and loading games and reports on success/failure would be appreciated.

Hello.
make install failed on my computer with this message:

/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/share/gnome/apps/Games
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 wesnoth.desktop /usr/share/gnome/apps/Games/wesnoth.desktop
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/share/gnome/apps/Games/wesnoth.desktop': Permission denied

I don't want to install it as root. Can you have a look at the configure script? I guess that is what is causing this mess. It should honour --prefix. At least that's what I think.

[ziberpunk]

make tries to install a menu entry in gnome menu if you have installed. In CVS (not in snapshots), a --disable-icons option has been added so it doesn't install icons.

[miyo]

If I give '--prefix=path' I don't want it to install anything outside that path.

It seems fairly stable, though. Storm trident is fixed (at last!), few bugs, and YES, the save games load faster. Very nice.

However, IMHO the "Bay of pearls" now has too few mermen. This means that you almost have to win by killing one leader and resisting until the end of turns.
