Re: NX-RPG/Revenge from the Shadows 0.3.0

Post by 8680 »

I have pushed a commit that removes the lp8 submodule. lp8 will need to be otherwise installed from now on. I have expanded the “Installing lp8” section of the readme. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Have you pulled commit 200267f? It should have fixed this issue.

As of commit f959634, the addon loads fine for me. Just remember to keep updating your clone frequently, as we're working rather hard to get stuff done for the next release.

A fix has been committed by 8680.

I have also updated the topic title with the new campaign name on 1.11, and updated the first post with more general and up-to-date useful information.

lu_zero: I’ve pushed an updated lp8 to the 1.11 add-ons server; see if that fixes your problems.

So far seems working fine now, I wonder what happened to AMLA and if it is the only missing bit for a preview release.

I'll work on adding AMLAs later. Right now, 0.5.0 is tagged and I'm awaiting the official announcement of wesnoth 1.11.6 to upload it to the addon server.

Re: Shadows of Deception 0.5.0 [Wesnoth 1.11.6]

Post by vultraz »

Version 0.5.0 is out!

After more than a year of work, here's the yet-again revamped version of the campaign! It features a new name (again), five new scenarios, a revamped plot, revamped RPG stuff, and tons of updates!

During the long break since the last release, I came to realize that the campaign did not have a clear direction to the story, which resulted in me and my "team" sitting down and actually planning everything out. The result was one quite different from what was planned a year ago, but I feel that is a much more solid and interesting one than what was originally planned. This allowed me to finally make five new scenarios.

Among the many updates were updates to the Inventory, which is now, as far as I can tell, bug-free. I also designed a new spellcasting system, showcased here:
Spoiler:

Hello, I'm playing this campaign on 1.11.6, as advised; in scenario 4, The Pursuit, I killed Rhaen but nothing happens. In fact, none of the dialogues that should happen while fighting him appear - I only know about them because I opened the scenario's file.

Thanks for the report. I'll look into it. In the meantime, you can skip to the next scenario by pressing ":" and typing "debug", then ":" again, and "n".

In scenario 6, Awakening, I got the key with Galamor, and moved him to those gates in the north (at 18,11), but nothing happens. Was there anything else I should have done?

BTW, I'd like to say that I'm enjoying the campaign: it has beautiful maps, an interesting story (I'm really enjoying meeting Niryone and seeing Elynia in her first days), and cool RPG elements (like changing which items certain unit is carrying). My only complaint regards Elynia's uselessness. I understand that she's but an apprentice, but I think she could at least gain some different skills, or an increase in power, or maybe an upgrade in her healing ability when levelling up. The way things are now, the player is stuck with a dismayingly weak and useless unit that must be kept alive and which never improves. :?
