ATTENTION:
version 0.3.0 is now available for Story of a Drake Outcast. (version 1.8 and 1.9)

Please comment on any bugs you encounter on either versions, and general feedback about the campaign is appreciated.

Re: Story of a Drake Outcast, v. 0.1.4 (for 1.9.1+)
Okay, I just realized that this is a 1.9.1+ campaign, so this may only be a bug in my 1.8.3...
In scenario 2, when I move Advisor to the village at 12,10, an error box pops up that says,
"Error while playing the game: game_error: creating unit with empty type field"
and then the game bounces me back to the opening screen.
Thanks for the campaign.

Thanks for the feedback. If you downloaded the campaign from one of the links in this thread, than you probably do have a version error. Download from the 1.8 add-ons server.Bjartmarr wrote:In scenario 2, when I move Advisor to the village at 12,10, an error box pops up that says,

If you did download from the 1.8 add-ons server, please tell us, because that means there's something wrong with the source code.
Re: Story of a Drake Outcast, v. 0.1.4 (for 1.9.1+)
Hm... this may be because I am using 1.9.0, but when I try to load your campaign, I get:
Illegal character in map: (Qxe^Bs|) ‘Qxe^Bs|’
The map could not be loaded
I will update later tonight (if available for Mac, I haven't actually checked) and try again.

Replace it with Urb and it should work fine...Matherton wrote:Hm... this may be because I am using 1.9.0, but when I try to load your campaign, I get:

I was able to keep the crash from occuring by doing a query replace MEDIUM with NORMAL on the .cfg file. The dwarf doesn't appear when I take the village, but at least the game doesn't crash.
But even if I move my leader to the water at the bottom of the map, the scenario doesn't end with victory.
Re: Story of a Drake Outcast, v. 0.1.4 (for 1.9.1+)
Ohh dear.
Sounds like we have some terrain problems.
1.9 has some new terrain so that might be causing some bugs...also, this campaign has never been tested by me on anything higher than EASY level so there may be some bugs there.
You need to move a unit to the shallow water rather than the deep water; failing that, check the shallow water's terrain code is Ww (otherwise it won't work).

I tried moving to both shallow and deep water.Reepurr wrote: You need to move a unit to the shallow water rather than the deep water; failing that, check the shallow water's terrain code is Ww (otherwise it won't work).
I checked the map file, and there is plenty of Ww in there. I can't be sure that the shallow water space I am moving to is actually a Ww (as opposed to some other type of shallow water, if there are any others). But I moved to several different shallow water spaces at the bottom of the map, and it looks like the only thing down there is Ww and Wo.

AN UPDATE AT LAST!
0.5.0 is now on the add-ons server (1.9 anyway). Great thanks to ellidell for the superb cartography.
Theoretically, there should only be balancing to do now. Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Re: Story of a Drake Outcast - 0.5.0 now out!
In the scenario "Necromancers,"
Otherwise, I am enjoying the campaign very much. I wish there were more recruit choices, though... but that is a small point. Thanks!

Re: Story of a Drake Outcast - 0.5.0 now out!
I've been meaning to correct that for a long time. There'll be a patch in 0.5.1 so you can't kill the gate beforehand, but until then, kill the necromancer and then free Trathel.Matherton wrote:In the scenario "Necromancers,"Spoiler:

Yeah, that's my biggest worry. Due to the enemy, I worry about adding clashers and burners, though...I wish there were more recruit choices, though..

0.5.1 now on the 1.9 add-ons server.
1.8 development has stopped; any bug reports about 1.8 bugs will no longer be considered.
Changes made in this version:
• Various balancing stuff which I forgot.
• Level 1 Dralkath has been given his own frankenstein.
• Drake Hunter (and a quick and dirty picture for it) is now recruitable. This unit balances between a slower, a fighter and a scout.
• Dralkath needs 10 less XP to get to level 3.

Re: Story of a Drake Outcast - 0.5.0 now out!
Just finished your campaign. I like the drake hunter! An awesome way to spice up the recruit list... and I see the unit does impact damage, too, so it should be useful against the undead.
The sandstorm thing was an interesting complication, and I was getting settled in for a long-ish battle... and then the saurian leader popped out of his keep and I killed him in a turn. Perhaps you should have to kill the saurian leader and then get a unit to an exit point? There were a lot of tricky-looking saurians left on the map, which it would have been fairly challenging to get past. Then again, I am perhaps disproportionately intimidated by saurians...
In the last scenario, is the lich supposed to have no recruits? I see that there is a sort of chasm where the keep ought to be... but without any recruits, it is a bit of a walk, which is disappointing for the end of a campaign.
Thanks! Lots of fun!

Well he's supposed to recruit stuff, but clearly he can't actually walk onto the chasm keep. 0.5.2 is going to be released kinda fast.
