Memoirs of a Thief is 0.9.0a

It's out! After some pain and suffering, I managed to complete it.

The Campaign is 8 scenarios + an Epilogue. Its fairly simple and far from finished. I tried to concentrate more on the storyline this time than coding. This thread is for Coding mistakes, Errors that I'm am unaware of, Scenario Balancing, and any bugs that may have wormed their way in. I esp. want suggestions on scenario balancing-I played through part of it and didn't feel like it was hard enough to earn its "Nightmare" difficulty option.

Here is a list of Known problems and planned changes-feel free to critique-Feedback is both welcome and appreciated:

Scenario 1

Spoiler:

I felt pretty good about this one, though the ending dialogue felt somewhat "unnatural"

Scenario 2

Spoiler:

I feel good about this one, though I had to cut down on the forests. I do however feel like there are too many units.

Scenario 3

Spoiler:

I plan on adding caged units in the southerner part of the map somewhere in the fields. These would be slaves that you could possibly free. Also, instead of going to Kill Lorc-Borewrath for gold, I might add a VIP person in a cage that you need to rescue.

Scenario 4

Spoiler:

I feel very good about this one. I needed an explanation for the fate of the Villagers. Also, i love fighting undead with Outlaws and thugs. I also added it for enemy variety.

Scenario 5

Spoiler:

I hope to eventually replace the httt "princess" unit with one of my own sprites. Originally, i had planned for a fork in the storyline. If Moriah died, it would take you down a different path of scenarios with a slightly different ending.

Scenario 6

Spoiler:

Ah...Heart warming scene....I have to fix the movement coding, as of now, it's pretty terrible.

Scenario 7

Spoiler:

I feel ok with this one, just balancing

Scenario 8

Spoiler:

Haven't tested this one as much as the others...

Epilogue

Spoiler:

I will add a map and the Earl and messenger unit with movement in a future version

I have tested all the Scenarios at least twice, However, that was with out the ability to recall leveled up units.

Uploaded to the 1.8.5 server

Also...

Spoiler:

One more thing, I plan on adding a Map(a slightly altered version of the Farnorth map fro SobtE), and battle markings to better explain the plot...Also, some of the dialogue says "Prestim" when it should be "Lengrad". "Prestim" should only in the Epilogue

Also, I plan on releasing the final version on the 1.9 server-is there a list somewhere of the coding changes that i would have to make?

I play on hardest level ....


The first scenario is fun to play
the second takes a little too long ... the map should be slightly smaller

I noticed that Experience points and level rises from the first scenario (Claudius and Gaereth) will not be transferred into the second scenario ...

The Third Scenario is very hard ... at least in round six Aecryn is killed and the game is lost
he starts with 75 gold ....this seems not enough to survive until I can support him with my troops

Thanks for your reply....

The reason why you can't recall units from the first scenario is because You'd be able to recall Regan and Co. This doesn't work for the storyline at all. Also, according to the story, you fled with only Gaereth...

I will look into the gold issues and map issues and that experience prob. I'm not sure whats causing it becasue it worked for me...

Thanks for the critique

I've played the first scenario in easy difficulty (maybe too easy, I'll replay it in medium). At the moment only one thing: You must put last breath instead of die in the event of orcish leader death because otherwise he starts speaking and he's just disspeared. I'm liking it.

[Frenzik]

I did notice that...will change in the next upload.

Thanks for your comment

Hello

in the scenario DEAD REDEMPTION I got the message "Condition 'enemy_into' failed at ai/default/ai.cpp:1348 in function 'get_combat_score_vs'. I should tell abot this bug here, when I click on "okay" the next thing is that I see Wesnoths main menu.

Thank You - Maybe it will be possible to eliminate the bug - MEMOIRS OF A THIEF is such a peculiar campaign, it deserves to be played fully functional!

Thank You Very Much !

Hello.
I think there are some mistakes in scenarios.

3-Orcs_aPlenty.cfg line272 and line 489
type ="Whelp" must be type="Troll Whelp"

7-Revealed.cfg
This scenario mast have a event of "last breath" of Moriah.

7-Revealed.cfg and 8-Final_Confrontation.cfg
I cound't recruit new units.
I can't know it is default or mistake.

[Shinobody]

Doesn't it accidentally belong in campaign's own thread?

[Pentarctagon]

Merged into the correct thread.

Hi there,

I just started playing the campaign and enjoy the storyline. However, in scenario 3 I get an error message that reads:

Unknown unit type: Whelp while scoring units.

Error message: Condition 'enemy_info' failed at /Users/ben/projects/wesnoth-1.8/MacOSX/../src/ai/default/ai.cpp:1348 in function 'get_combat_score_vs'.

Good work on the campaign.

Hello everybody,
I get also the error in Memoirs of a Thief V0.9.4a on my Amiga by the Version 1.8.6 from "The Battle for Wesnoth".
Error general: An error has occurred through possibly invalid WML.
The error message is:
Unknown unit type : Whelp while scoring units.
Condition 'enemy_info' failed at ai/default/ai.cpp:1348 in function 'get_combat_score_vs'.4

I have seen that Frenzik has visited the forum at last on April 28th, 2011, but can help someone else from here in this case?
