Campaign: Invasion of Arendia

[labis]

Invasion of Arendia 1.3, the Raider problem.

Solution: Throughout the campaign, search for "Raider" and replace it with "B-Raider". Same thing for the Brigand.

There is a problem in the "Black Hand Attack" scenario. For some reason, Reth cannot recruit. I have 686 gold, and it looks like I can recruit in the scenario file, but there is no recruit list when I try to recruit. I have no idea why this is.

Finally, did you mean for the second scenario to be won by fighting, but not killing, Wolf? Because that is what happened.

I confirm all of these. replacing Rider and Brigand with B- in front works. I had the same problem in the "Black Hand Attack" scenario, and I also won Wolf by fighting him. Using wesnoth 1.1.8 debian.

Cheers

For those with the black hand attack problem, try using this scenario file, because I can recruit (I've been playing through the campaign to test it).

I downloaded it, pasted it into the scenarios folder, and tried to play, but I still couldn't recruit. Using Wesnoth 1.1.8 on SuSe linux.

I'd attach the save file, but I don't know how to.

Nope, doesn't work for me either. Still cannot recruit

Would it help if I sent my save game file?

One suggestion - and I don't know why it worked - but when I saw the postings of the 'can't recruit' problem I replaced Reth's gold line, which was something like

{GOLD 200 175 150}

with the simple

gold=150

because this was the only difference I could see between Reth's setup wml and the previous scenario. I was certainly able to recruit, but I didn't try to play without the edit, so don't actually know whether this made a difference .

It shouldn't make a difference, the {GOLD} is a macro which has a bunch of gold= lines in it with ifdefs for EASY MEDIUM and HARD.

I really need to see a save which has this problem (preferably beginning of scenario and definately non-binary)

Another need to search-replace: take *out* 'B--Fugitive', replace with Fugitive.

However, I now have a more serious problem: in the middle of saving the nagas, and (repeatably) the game is crashing on me at the end of my T14. No error message - just no Wesnoth any more, which is a first for me!

[JW]

Yes...removing that B-Fugitive business would really help...

In which scenario?

I'll check into it tomorrow (I need to sleep now).

Ranger M: You use Linux, right? Are you familiar with the "grep" tool? It makes tasks like this (finding and replacing strings in multiple files) so much easier...

No I'm not, but I'll look into it.

I just updated to 1.1.9 debian and the problem with recruiting in Black Hand scenario persists.

Here's a text save of turn 1 immediately after introduction. Hope it helps

PS: I've read ur using Windows, so i've also added a DOS version of the text, with proper newlines to protect ur sanity

Turin, what's the grep tool? I went crazy trying to find out how to use it a few months ago. Please explain "grep."

Thanks for the save, although I don't know where you got the idea that I use Windows, I only ever use Linux (except in classes at school).

Ok, this should (fingers crossed) fix it, along with another problem which wasn't game stopping, but it was a problem (Reth's advancement and recruitment of his apprentaces was broken). Just replace your old rangers.cfg* file with this new one and then load a beginning of scenario save, it won't fix any other saves (bolded for emphasis).

*if the old rangers.cfg was called Rangers.cfg (capital R) then download the new Invasion_of_Arendia.cfg and then tell me, I can't remember weather I changed it before of after the last release.

EDIT: I'd just like to mention that I haven't tested this because it requires a beginning of scenario save, and for it to fix it a beginning of scenario save is required.
