New Mini-Campaign: Ilayin the Illusionist.

[Elvish_Pillager]

I'm so tired. I just spent my whole day writing a new campaign. It's almost done. When it's ready I'll put it on the campaign server and post in here. What needs to be done is to make story images, an initial story and an epilouge and major playtesting, the last of which is the only one that needs to be done before I upload it.

It was made with lots of help from Invisible Philosopher. Also there seems to be a bug when WML kills a unit that's being attacked; log says "src/actions.cpp:577: failed assertion `d != units.end()'" and WML says

Code: Select all

[event]
name=attack
first_time_only=no
[filter_second]
description=Illusion
[/filter_second]
	[kill]
	x=$x2
	y=$y2
	animate=yes
	[/kill]
[/event]

and Wesnoth goes bye-bye without any error messages.

Because after the unit is killed, the unit no longer exists. Then when the unit killing it gets its attack in, it is trying to attack a nonexistent unit.

The bug is not caused when the nonexistent unit is attacking, so presumably it was fixed in that instance and it should also be fixed here.

I suppose this is the campaign where i were supposed to make a golem-unit-image

What? a golem? nope... I did ask for a phoenix a while ago, but the campaign that was going to be in was bogged down by WML and plot issues.

I have committed a patch to fix the engine bug to CVS. Thanks for the report.

It's done. The campaign is on the server. All story graphics are courtesy of Invisible Philosopher.

P.S. I'm planning on making a Generic King unit (Level 3 with a 10-4 sword and leadership) with /campaigns/Illusion_Campaign/king.png

Bug:

The Epilogue has the id "illusion_epilogue", but in Revolution.cfg the next scenario is " illusion_epilouge".

[MadMax]

the harp song seems almost Arabic, and gives the impression of despair. Perhaps it would be good for a desert map, like Desert of Death?

[Glowing Fish]

This campaign is certainly different and interesting.

Of course, I did get to the third scenario, and then thought about fighting that many elves in the forest, and decided to do it tomorrow.

I am kind of uncertain about the "illusion" aspect. Does this mean that the enemy AI thinks your units are different than they are? So, for example, it thinks my trapper is a Long Bowman? That would be crazy, and certainly interesting.

The river is very useful.

The only gameplay effects of the illusion are that Ilayin is harder to hit and less likely to be attacked, and something obvious in Revolution. It would indeed be crazy to actually implement it, but it would both be very difficult and not too useful.

Not really. It's very short in comparison with the game's other music, so it's pretty much only useful for the short place it's in.

I dont get any bonus for finishing earlier...is that normal

On the first real scenario when you save the game and load it back up, the keep appears where before there was dirt.

edit:
Also, I get the bonus on that scenario.

You'll need to be much more specific. Which scenario?

This is a known engine bug.
