Re: Start of the War
Just wondering, is there any particular reason it absolutely requires 1.9.12 (and presumably higher, if and when higher versions are available)?Lord-Knightmare wrote:Requirements

Re: Start of the War
@artisticdude:- The campaign requires Wesnoth 1.9.12 or later, I forgot to mention that. Edited the fix,
@perseo:- Its not a lot. This is a short campaign about 5 battle scenarios (+2 dialogue). But, the scenarios are time-consuming. The final scenario would be the longest.

Re: Start of the War
Lol, well actually I was more concerned about backwards compatibility... the most recent version of the development branch I run is 1.9.10, and I was just wondering why your campaign requires 1.9.12 or higher. Does your campaign use a particular syntax or a particular feature that is only available in 1.9.12+, or is it just that you have only tested it on 1.9.12 and don't know if it will run on earlier versions in the 1.9 development cycle?Lord-Knightmare wrote:@artisticdude:- The campaign requires Wesnoth 1.9.12 or later, I forgot to mention that.

Re: Start of the War
I'm gonna go with the later. Due slow internet service, I didn't download 1.9.11 or 1.9.10. Enraged, I told the ISP to upgrade my package to 1Mbps. By the time, the upgrade took effect, 1.9.12 was out, so I downloaded that. This all happened before development, but you are welcome to try it on earlier versions.artisticdude wrote:Lol, well actually I was more concerned about backwards compatibility... the most recent version of the development branch I run is 1.9.10, and I was just wondering why your campaign requires 1.9.12 or higher.

Re: Start of the War
Well, I think that leaving "Wesnoth 1.9.12 or later" is fine as long as you test yours on 1.9.12.
Maybe, adding something like "possibly playable on 1.9.5 - 1.9.11" will be nicer.
In my case, there is a bug on 1.9.11, so I wrote 1.9.12 or later/higher on the main file because it is confusing if I write:
- Required Wesnoth version: 1.9.5 - 1.9.10 and 1.9.12, not 1.9.11.
Right?

Re: Start of the War
Hello everybody, expect a beta release sometime today (or tonight). The release will contain the first 4 (playable) scenarios, out of the planned 7 scenarios. The campaign length is determined by a choice of options (meaning at EASY or NORMAL, you can choose to play all 7 or 6. But on HARD you play all of them. )
And about the feedback, I appreciate feedback on the HARD difficulty as I am playing on Normal.
31 st December 2011
Okay 6/7 scenarios done, but can't upload the campaign, as I can't connect to the add-ons server for the past few days.

Re: Start of the War
Finished coding the final scenario, but I can't figure out what goes wrong with it
It loads just fine, but every side and I mean every side recruits troll shamans. I checked the coding but couldn't find the error WML. Is this because of the constant usage of limited recruits macros?

Re: Start of the War
I don't think so. It sometimes happens to me too that I give a pretty recruit list to the AI, but it insists on recruiting just one or two types. You have to fiddle a bit with the AI settings. For eg, if you want it to recruit whelps too, you can set a recruitment pattern like 'fighter,fighter,mixed fighter'. Then the AI will recruit two whelps and one shaman (shaman is 'mixed fighter', isn't it? )It loads just fine, but every side and I mean every side recruits troll shamans.

Re: Start of the War
I disallowed the recruitment of Troll Shamans and now the scenario is working fine. Its still untested though. And highly unbalanced. 4 dwarf sides vs 10 enemy troll sides require a lot of work... And I also need custom color values...Anybody have some...(other that yellow, pink, evony and cyan).?lipk wrote:I don't think so.

Re: Start of the War
Just had a couple of goes at the first 2 levels of the campaign. Nice map layout, challenging enemies. Only thing that's stopping me progressing is my own inability to accept losses of units! Just one small inconsistency with map design though: the first scenario, tile 15,24 is rockbound cave, in the second scenario the same tile is flat road! If this is intentional, then that's fine, but it just seems a bit inconsistent to have changing terrain on what is effectively the same map.

Re: Start of the War
That was intentional. The dwarves after realizing that the rocks, (trolls) fought better on rocky areas, they decided to level up that hex. Good to know, that you have found the campaign challenging. The 2nd scenario was designed for constant healing and cycling of units to gain XP. If you have less than 12 units in this scenarios....you're a goner...MRDNRA wrote:Just had a couple of goes at the first 2 levels of the campaign. Nice map layout, challenging enemies.

Re: Start of the War
I had around 12 units, I was able to level up quite a few in the 1st level without too much difficulty, to the extent my line in the 2nd scenario consisted pretty much entirely of level 2s, and I was able to level a few of those to level 3 by the end of the 2nd level. Heck, I could've probably held off those trolls forever without losing another unit (or possibly 1 unit lost!). I reckon the 2nd scenario, with enough levelled recalls, is actually easier than the 1st level. The trolls didn't even attack til at least turn 5, I reckon they were scared of my units lol!Lord-Knightmare wrote:That was intentional.

The 3rd level was certainly challenging, it took me a couple of restarts. The 4th level I ran out of time on the only run through I've done of it so far!
