Campaign: War Stars: A Newbie Hope

All the wesnoth campaigns are too serious and monotonous!
I think there should be more variety with storylines, some comedic campaigns, some psychadellic campaigns, some postmodernist introspection themed campaigns etc

anyway, I'm starting a short campaign that's a bit lighter than all the stuff we have here. I'm planning to have it run for four scenarios, and i'm done with the first one.

What do you think? It's a parody of star wars IV: a new hope

I think wesnoth needs more well-written, finished, and functional campaigns. Weather the campaign is funny much less important to me.

By the way, played in 1.1.1+svn, Lucas can't move at all.

Ooh... thanks Eleazar

it works for me in 1.1.1 though, I don't have your version (I've only a very vague idea of what svn is) . Would you mind checking through the code and see what could be causing the problem?

Well, I'm not sure with "well-written" or "functional" but a short parody campaign is more likely to be "finished" than the typical 15-scenario-war-and-peace-esque epic campaigns that normally get abandoned around here.

And besides it's fun!

Fixed a few bugs, and now
yay! It's on the campaign server!
You can have it under StarWars: A Newbie Hope

I'll delete the attachment now

Deleted from the campaign server. Don't upload content which violate trademarks and/or copyright. So, don't call it "Star Wars ...".

So, just removing the "StarWars" or renaming it to not be identical to the real name would be fine.

Sun Wars? Space Wars? War Stars? Star Warthog? Star Warsaw? Asterisk Wars? Star Was? Star What? Stare Wars? Star's War? Star Cars? Star Bars? Far Wars? Starry-eyed Wars?

I'm not sure how great an idea it would be to rip off star wars. How would you have a campain with 4 senerios?

it seems like star wars needs more fighting and less sneaking around. maybe I would like it more if I had a list of the scenario names.

This is my first campaign, so I'm planning to do a New Hope first... I don't want to be too ambitious and end up with an abandoned project. I'll add the other two movies later

These are the plot points the scenarios are based on.

Scenario 1) Bring R2D2 to Obiwan. Fight the sand people

Scenario 2) Mos Eisley Port- Defeat the stormtoopers in the (space?)port so you can hitch a ride with Han Solo to get to Alderaan

(Of course, Alderaan is decimated by the DEATH STAR before you get there)

Scenario 3) Instead Storm Imperial Prison and Resuce Princess Leia

Scenario 4) Making your way to Yavin 4, the hyperdrive in the Millenium Falcon breaks down. Survive untill Chewbacca can repair your ship

Scenario 5)Destroy the Death Star before it annihalates Yavin 4

All these scenarios will be heavily parodied

I'm sorry for the trademark thing, in my defense I thought it was fair use But asterisk wars is funnier!

Lucas' movement needs fixing. He has no movement values, and therefore cannot move.

A good idea would be to make sure your not violating copyright by using different names.

Hmm, this one I don't get? He's moving OK in my version (1.1.1)
but Eleazar had the same problem.
THe farm boy .cfg file has movement=5, so I'm not sure what else i have to do...

Help please?

hmm... nvm, I think i found the problem

Maeglin Dubh, try the new version, does it work OK now?
