What happened to the add-on's

Post by Salex »

After the last patch 1.14 I lost every add-on I had campagins and MP faction, so I went to re-download them and most are all gone, is there a reason the add-on section lost a ton of user created content ?


Thanks.

Hello Salex.

The add-ons did not exactly disappear. With the 1.14 version, the game uses a new directory on your disk.
Usually, addons go into documents/my games/wesnoth1.XX/data/addons/, where wesnoth1.XX now is Wesnoth1.14.
The addons you installed are most likely still in Wesnoth1.13 or Wesnoth1.12, depending on which version you played before.

As for the addons on the server, with 1.14, there was also a new server opened for addons. All the addons from 1.13 need to be reuploaded first to the 1.14 server. If you used 1.12 before, not all addons can be transferred to the 1.14 server, since 1.14 introduces a lot changes to the WML engine, thus most likely break the addons designed to work in 1.12.

So you're saying they are still on my IPAD ? Or were they erased when I updated from the previous version ? And if so is there away to erase them since I cannot use them ?

Oh, you're using an iPad. Well, in this case I don't know excactly, but I assume it works similar.
EDIT: There should be a similar folder called documents on iPad, have a look there.

That's my fault. I didn't realize iPad version will change the save directory too.
I think I need to publish a hotfix release.

Hi,
Your saves are still there, and with today's release you must get them back. Sorry!

Thanks for the hot fix. My saves are back but the add ons I had are still gone - means some of my games are missing elements such as the Legends of the Invincibles data. Is there any way to recover that? The add ons for 1.14 don’t have that add on presently.
Thanks.

That's exactly the reason I didn't migrate the add-ons: for 1.14, they were re-validated and only 1.14-compatible made it to the server.
I would kindly ask you to wait till they are tested/ported/uploaded to 1.14 server, or directly ask the author to update LotI.

Wait, I already did it.

The author is very active and open, I believe, it won't take long.
