Wesband, MP dungeon-crawler (now for Wesnoth 1.9.14+ !)

[Death1]

i really like the concept of wesband, and i had been waiting for a not so glitchy version to come out, so tyvm for that, ill help any way i can


I Cleared 2 levels, and tried to go back to the town,because i had been poisoned with no way to cure it, but when i went up the second level stairs, it sent me to an entirely different level than the one i cleared, is this a glitch?

Ok Turuk, i didn't know, im kinda new to the forum

When posting in a thread, please do not double post but just edit your previous post to display the new information. Thank you.

Is there any way to get rid of the poison? poison is really detrimental in this type of game, especially if there isnt a way i can get rid of it.


nvm, im in the town and found the poison dispeling potion

ZAngband works like this. You don't go back to levels that you've previously cleared, rather each stair that you ascend/descend is actually a maze of stairs.

In Wesband if you clear all of the enemies out of a level, you won't see the level again, as long as you clear them in order.

I've been wondering about how I might want to do this in the end. Not making players waste time with stuff they've already seen is a huge goal, but I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this.

EDIT: Concerning poison, find a well, which will cure like a town does or carry some potions (bought in the temple). Unless you're a Troll, you'll have a potion to start out with. Right click and "Use" on yourself.

I do apologize for the lack of documentation. It's on the to-do list!

ty Ken, it seems everything is working fine as far as bugs, all thats left is new features



Do the enemies spawn gradually, or are they all there at the start, because i always seem to get surrounded when exploring. it seems the ai is different here, they seem to prefer to attack the leader rather than a 1hp henchmen.

[Ken_Oh]

They are there from the start, but they don't all come at you at once. They start moving as soon as they're activated, which could be from you moving close to them. Or, if units of an opposing faction (orcs vs undead, for example) are close enough to fight, they'll be active, but they just might attack more opposing units.

Glad you like it.

that answered all of my questions, i have a suggestion about the summons, maybe you would have to be close to lava etc. to summon a fire elemental, near water for a water elemental, you get the idea, if you did that you could increase to overall power of summons without them being game breakers.

if no one has suggested these before, i have an idea for a few spells,

Teleport: first cast, set up a warp point, further casts, dispel warp point, or warp to it.
Smash: turn a cave wall into cave
Barrier: create a cave wall that lasts 3 turns

So I was wondering, can I do this in WML:
I have one start map, or main map, and I have about a dozen other smaller maps. These smaller maps are entered on some event. So I can dynamically load some different map file and go back and forth between any of my maps right?

My goal is to have a 'big' map. When a battle or some event is encountered, enter a smaller 'battle' map, do some stuff, and when the battle is complete return to the 'big' map.

You seem to do this yes? When we step on a stair, we move to another map, and when we step on the same stairway, we go back.

[Ken_Oh]

MCP: Yes, WML can do all that.

Death: If you take the Silver Order in the Mage line, you can do a little teleporting already. Good ideas for the rest.

[Death1]

glad to contribute.

does the silver order appear later? because its not on the list here.

hmm I got stuck in menus...

on the village, after choosing my class, I explored the inventory and could never exit it, selecting weapons->melee->fist would not show anything but get you back to the step where you had to choose between melle and ranged in the menus. I didn't find a way to get back to the map

overall it looks good, though, I'll explore some more later

Others have reported it: http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 60#p344260

But it seems only a fraction of players are getting this, and I can't replicate it myself. I really don't know what to do. Maybe there's a problem with this code?

Code: Select all

#define ENDMENU
    [option]
        message ="&"+check.png+"="+_ "(End)"

        [command]
            {CONSTRUCT_UNIT}
            {VARIABLE_OP upgrading add -1}
        [/command]
    [/option]
#enddef

#define CANCELMENU
    [option]
        message ="&"+x.png+"="+_ "(Cancel Changes)"

        [command]
            {VARIABLE_OP upgrading add -1}
            [unstore_unit]
                variable=cancel_current_unit
            [/unstore_unit]
            {CLEAR_VARIABLE current_unit}
            {CLEAR_VARIABLE cancel_current_unit}
        [/command]
    [/option]
#enddef

Or maybe I should take the macros out and just include the code over and over again?

EDIT: If you wanted to try again, I removed the macro and just put it in straight and then uploaded it to the server (the code in question is in the era, not the campaign). No idea what to try other than that.

What OS are you using? Doing a quick post search makes me think you're using linux. Is this right? At least one of the other players with the problem is on linux.

[Boucman]

new version fixed it apparently...

this is weird. Macro shouldn't have that sort of effect...

[Rhuvaen]

Just did a quick local test (running 1.6+svn from yesterday's checkout), and I'm not getting any weapons equipped (all that appears are the fist & rock). The store doesn't sell anything, either.

Closing the inventory menu item a second time quits wesnoth to the desktop with the console message: sdl_utils.cpp:286: surface scale_surface(const surface&, int, int, bool): Assertion `h >= 0' failed.

I watched other people play it successfully, though.

[Ken_Oh]

Boucman: Strange indeed. Maybe I'll run a distro sometime to try to isolate what happened.

Thanks for testing it out.

Rhuvaen: Ow.....Maybe I need to run linux to test this out sooner than I thought.
