I found a file called "preferences" under /userdata, but it doesn't contain a variable for default folders. I will have to keep looking.

Or you might tell me more info and see whether you can help me before I can figure this out myself.

find where all your add-ons are stored and make a new folder in there that is where you are supposed to puyt your campaign you are making.

On Mac, there is Wesnoth, or Wesnoth_1.6 folder in the Preferences. The editor folder is in it, then your map files are in the maps folder of the editor folder.

Yes, I did find my maps all right. What I'm looking for is a way for them to be saved automatically under my campaign folder.

Also I'm using Windows XP.

Huston · Post by **Huston** » September 13th, 2009, 5:35 pm

when you save them use the save as feature instead then just nacvigate to the approporiate folder where you want them saved.

SkyOne · Post by **SkyOne** » September 13th, 2009, 5:42 pm

Yeah, just as Huston said, copy your map file, then paste it in the maps folder inside of your campaign folder.

Zamael · Post by **Zamael** » September 13th, 2009, 5:43 pm

Oh whatever. That just seems so darn complicated, especially since the target folder and the original are just about in completely different places on my hard drive.

Huston · Post by **Huston** » September 13th, 2009, 5:44 pm

do you see 3 little dots at the screen that comes up when you select save as?
click on them and it takes you up 1 directory.

SkyOne · Post by **SkyOne** » September 13th, 2009, 5:57 pm

I am not sure Windows much.
Huston handles it, right, Huston?

You can actually move your campaign folder to data/campaigns in the user data. It will not crash anything yet.

Huston · Post by **Huston** » September 13th, 2009, 6:36 pm

yes i run windows and linux ubuntu

Zamael · Post by **Zamael** » September 13th, 2009, 8:07 pm

Okay, I believe I have just created the first mission properly, and the _main file is pretty much there. Except when I move this whole folder to the main campaign file and try to run the game, it gives a whole bunch of error messages: most likely because I've added a whole bunch of units in the first scenario file without actually defining them anywhere.

But how the hell am I supposed to define them? Every single campaign I've watched seems to do just about everything except the scenarios themselves so damn different I just can't look at them without getting so very confused. Some of them define about million custom units, others just use normal ones. Legend of Wesmere seems fine, except its "characters" file also defines their team, but my units keep switching teams. Which one is the right way to do it? Is this whole post in itself confusing you?

For the record, here's what I got so far, if someone wants to take a look at it to check if everything's in order:

_main:

first scenario, contains wall of text:

first off, when posting code on the forums put it inside of

secondly you will probably recieve some errors from yourt _main.cfg file currently.

[story]
[part]
story=_ "At the age of eighteen, the newly knighted Cheska Kuhral, a noblewoman by birth and education, received her first position of command in the southeastern fringe of the kingdom of Wesnoth. It was a relatively peaceful age, and even more a peaceful corner of the earth: neither Cheska nor her employers expected the responsibility that had been given to her to bring all that much challenge."
[/part]
[part]
story=_ "Unfortunately, they could not have been more wrong. Barely a month had passed with the young Cheska in command, when the keeps and posts were assaulted by one of the largest orcish raiding bands in recent memory. To her credit it must be said that she put up a great fight, refusing to surrender for many days, but in the end, the orcs proved to be too much for her: the human outposts were invaded, most defending forces slaughtered, and the commander herself forced to retreat, along with what little was left of her forces."
[/part]
[part]
story=_ "Meanwhile, a lone wanderer is approaching her throughout the western mountain range. Wherever he goes, small orcish scout teams would vanish without a trace, failing to return to their camps and report their findings - and the said camps shortly afterwards face assaults of their own dead, walking corpses and incorporeal spirits cutting down the living, spreading panic and chaos among the ranks of those that survive. He went where the raid did, opposing it from shadows at every opportunity - and where the raid happened to go was where Cheska happened to be. The collision of two forces and one loner was inevitable."
[/part]
[part]
story=_ "And from the east, from far away, far and wide they have travelled, an even more insignificant force is closing in. Truly small, capable of sneaking past orcs and humans alike, the tiny band of lizards finally enters the human territory. Shackled, scarred, starving, and afraid: turning back every now and then to see if they are chased, not stopping even when the running hurts. They care not where they are going, only where they are running from, and how to get even more away from it. They care not that they are entering upon a scene of a great battle. They know not that they are approaching either an unlikely alliance... or death."

Nope, there's still a whole bunch of errors. Some of them have something to do with a soulless (probably the event that's triggered by Silan recruiting one), others with the _main file.

AladorIsithir · Post by **AladorIsithir** » September 13th, 2009, 11:56 pm

Could you please tell me what the errors are exactly?

SkyOne · Post by **SkyOne** » September 14th, 2009, 2:15 am

I have added extra code to show the image, so you can change it to whatever you like.
I have also changed your campaign title to "Fire Forge Friends", instead of "Fire-Forge Friend" just in case.

The title of the first scenario has been changed to shorter one, and capitalized the first letter, so be careful for the scenario-id.
You can now add unit-file and utils-file in the folder if you like.

Here is your main file.
