Guestion about campaign coding

[woodmouse]

So, is it possible to code campaigns the way that multi player scenarios are made? I mean, like

Code: Select all

row
row
row
row

and not like

Code: Select all

row row row

Is it possible? I mean, I am not good at coding like normally campaign scenarios are...

Use my skeleton. Should explain alot.

Uh...what?

@xer: I am using your skeleton as a base for the Gryphon campaign.
@Zookeeper: I mean... Not like campaign scenarios are coded, but like multiplayer scenarios are. I mean... Umm... Campaign scenarios are coded like everything in few rows, but multiplayer scenarios (at least usually) are like millions of rows.

You understand what I mean?

I have absolutely no idea.

Hmmmm... Example:
Is it possible to code campaign scenarios like this:

Code: Select all

[event]
name=start
[/event]

Not like this how they normally are:

Code: Select all

[event]name=start[/event]

You understand now?

That's definitely not how they normally are. You're probably using a text editor which doesn't understand the linebreaks or something. No one puts stuff on one line like that.

Hmmm weird. I'm using notepad to code WML things, and every campaign is like that, but multiplayer things aren't...

sadly, windows notepad is [censored] with regards to newline chars. Use a text editor that is not, like notepad++ or scite, to name a few.

[woodmouse]

Ok, but I thought the font thing causes evertything not to work, but if it doesn't then I could use something like that.

[Unnheulu]

AFAICT Wesnoth uses Unix linebreaks (\r\n) by default, which notepad can't handle.
If I am wrong then o course correct me.

A good editor for MS-Windows is codepad.

Edit: I actually meant textpad (codepad might also be nice, though I've never tried it). Anyway, as xer already indicated, it is never too late to switch to a free operating system.

[Unnheulu]

A good idea for campaign coders is to use linux.

[woodmouse]

Well, I tested using WordPad and it works goodly for that.

[Unnheulu]

Wordpad uses wierd formatting stuff, make sure you save as an ASCII.
