Septere of Fire

[Asian_Invasion3000]

I need some help please. In the Heir to the Throne campaign, in the Septere of Fire, The Septere is in a wall. What should I do?

Try restarting the scenario from the saved game that comes before turn 1.

Wow, never heard of that happening before...

What version of wesnoth are you on?

A poor solution

There's probably a better solution, but one way would be to use debug mode to give one unit temporarily superhigh movement so it can get the sceptre and you can continue the campaign.

Code: Select all

:debug
(click on konrad or lisar when adjacent to the wall)
:unit movement=100

Note that I used movement= instead of max_movement=. This way, the moves will be used up and next turn, the unit will be normal again.

Ninja'd but I'll post anyway.

How can it be in a wall ? This is a bug.

There's probably a better solution, but one way would be to use debug mode to give one unit temporarily superhigh movement so it can get the sceptre and you can continue the campaign.

IIRC that won't really work since Wesnoth seems to understand the concept of "infinite" movement costs expressed with incredibly high numbers.

In any case, yes, it's a bug. Thank you Captain Obvious.

Restarting the scenario should help in any case since the map is randomly generated at the start.

[Captain_Wrathbow]

Wait, I don't get it. The way terrain is made impassible is by setting the movement cost to 99, right? So if you have a unit with more than 99 movement points, it is capable of passing through walls.

[Anonymissimus]

Well, you reacted like it was just normal to restart this scenario sometimes after finding the sceptre in a wall.

I have a solution for you without the need to restart:

:debug
:lua wesnoth.set_terrain(x, y, "Gg")
:nodebug

Insert the sceptre's coordinates for x,y and this turns the location into moveable grassland.

Since he didn't say, I'm assuming he has some really old version, because in 1.8 there's a bit of code which should erase all cavewall in the vicinity of the scepter.

[Captain_Wrathbow]

I see that there are better solutions, but I still don't understand why mine won't work.

[Dixie]

I don't know. I tried giving a unit 1000 moves to see if it'd work and it didn't - although the walls and such weren't darkened anymore, I still couldn't move on them. There must be something else than just move costs.

[Asian_Invasion3000]

I have the 1.3.12 version...but i don't know how to update.
I'll try the debug code.
I've restarted the scenario plenty of times and it was still in the same wall in the same spot.
Bug, I think so...How to get rid of it? No idea...But I would like to thank all who posted. Please keep them coming and I will do my best to return the favor.

You don't update. You just download a new copy.

[Asian_Invasion3000]

I checked the website and ...nevermind i got it hahah i feel smart

[monochromatic]

Though keep in mind that your saves with 1.3 will not be compatibile with 1.8. So you'll have to restart the campaign.

[Speedbrain]

But as you're redoing the campaign, enjoy the new artwork and many other changes that have taken place since 1.3.12.
