RPG Campaign code
Hi, a friend and I want to make a campaign with a level up system for hero characters (possibly all player units).
We're also thinking of including inventory and branching dialogues but a level up system is the main thing.
I've played UtBS and a multiplayer scenario with Bob's RPG era (Both are really fun) so I was hoping there are macros for this and or big chunks of WML I can use.
Anyone have experience with this and can share best practices (Balancing, character archetypes, etc.)?
Are there other campaigns that use implement RPG gameplay?
Thanks

Re: RPG Campaign code
Getting an RPG working needs quite a lot of tricky code, it's nothing easy.
If you want more examples regarding inventory and level-up system, go check my campaign, Legend of the Invincilbles. It's not an RPG campaign, but it has many of those RPG features, more than UtBS or Bob's RPG Era. However, it's quite a complicated code. A few years ago, I stripped the code of the campaign and added it to the 1.10 server as a resource pack that adds items and some custom level-ups, you might want to simply reuse it without going too deep into the code.

You might also look into Strange Legacy, as well as Five Fates.
For Five Fates I've did a lot there with advancement pathes, allowing the player to gain new useable, new recruitment and a lot of passive abilities. You might also look into burning sun, as well as glorius victus and the wesnoth amla section of the wiki.
The inventory concept isn't top notch, but it works. Always wanted to add that weapons can break or be cursed, but never worked that out. There are also macro for allowing enemies to do spellcasting. You can find them in the addons.
Strange Legacy is however a whole rpg world, with macros for missions, random events, increased difficulty and so on - I'm not quite sure if that is what you are looking for.
Here is an example from five fates, which might show how to build units with amla pathes.
Btw. Legend of the Invincibles is really worth to check out ^^.

Re: RPG Campaign code
Basic inventory is actually a set of messages with dynamic [option]'s.
You need to understand arrays, loops, units storing/modifying/unstoring and [insert_tag].
