You're messing up and/or typoing about a dozen things. If you can't spot things like that, you can't make a campaign. So I suggest you go through what you've done so far (line by line, if needs be) and look at other campaigns and/or the WML reference to see how they're supposed to be done. It's not hard, you just need to be precise.

You're saving your WML in some odd format (.rtf or something), and your file contents actually look like this:

Code: Select all

{\rtf1\mac\ansicpg10000\cocoartf824\cocoasubrtf420
{\fonttbl\f0\fnil\fcharset77 Monaco;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}

\f0\fs20 \cf0 [textdomain]\
	name="wesnoth-Green_Isle"\
	path="data/campaigns/Green_Isle/translations"\
[/textdomain]\
\
[campaign]\
	#textdomain wesnoth-gi\
	name= _ "Green_Isle"\
	first_scenario=Intro\
	define=CAMPAIGN_GREEN_ISLE\
	difficulties=NORMAL\
	difficulty_descriptions=\{MENU_IMG_TXT2 "images/green-mage.png" _ "Normal" _"(Test)"\}\
	description= _ "Save Green Isle from the invaders."	\
	icon=green-mage.png(1,magenta)\
[/campaign]\
\

So, make sure you save it as plain text (still with the .cfg extension, of course). I'm pretty sure you can do that while saving in whatever editor you're currently using.

Also, icon=green-mage.png(1,magenta) is wrong, and won't work.

i have a mac
i have been using text edit
after creating the file i save and change the extension to .cfg
the mac says it is a .cfg
also it never shows that markup
when i accidentally opened a .cfg 1 time with my html editor
it showed me crazy markup
i figured it was due to being html editor
any suggestions on what to use to edit .cfg files?

I use Smultron, it works a lot better then TextEdit for me.

been having isues
found was not all my mental handicaps
when that gets resolved(probally 2tmorrow) will reume work

anyway the basic idea for the campaign is this:
the wesnoth history starts on green isle
the orcs/bad folks come
they good guys go east
bad guys stay
end of green isle (except the wose campaign stuff)
my idea is sometime after that some humans and elves (independently)
go back to the green isle
they join forces
they remove the orcs/bad guys
then they have peace
years go by
they interbreed a little bit
time passes
then orcs and other bad guys return
possibly with some evil mage/lich leader
the green isle guys repel invaders
there leader will be a half breed
will have for units:
some modified elves
thug & poacher (to lvl 3)
a modified mage tree that will pretty much be same
but with the green mage tree from wose campaign and a lvl 4 silver
this will have all mages go to lvl 4
bad guys aren't fully decided but will have orc and evil mages at least

the actual time of the campaign is as my understanding goes not important
but any feedback on th actual idea would be appreciated

also for the leader i want to do the thing return of the legions ch 1 thing
with the leader getting options for power ups at lvl up + minor hp gain
a new option for big hp (10ish) is thought of
also i want him to start @ lvl 5 with lvl 1 stats for leadership reasons
especially valid since his lvl number wont change

comments or is this a bad idea?

I like it, interesting idea to revisit the Green Isle. One thing though, I think that the leader should start at level 1 because that way the player has to work for higher level leadership. If you start with level 5 leadership it would be to easy. Level 1 units could get a 100% leadership bonus!

i got a new editor
doesn't seem to give me wierd markup
.cfg still wont work
the folder structure is the same as other working add on campaigns
the file looks proper compared to other campaign.cfg file
what am i still doing wrong?

wsultzbach · Post by **wsultzbach** » December 31st, 2006, 7:20 am

I got it working, it appears your difficulties were wrong. You can only use EASY, NORMAL and HARD. Anyway, here it is, see if it works for you.
