Unknown scenario error

[Turgon]

Hello lads,
I am working on a new campaign about some people from small villages fighting undead in the age of "UTBS". Unfortunately I can't make the first scenario work. The WML is basically based on another mission I wrote before for a different campaign which works allright. I checked for some standard errors, but I am not really experienced. So maybe one of you have an idea about what is wrong here. (btw, I used Notepad for these WMLs)

This is the WML for the main.cfg

IIRC WML doesn't like spaces in file paths. Better use underscores.

[Iris]

Please use forward slashes ‘/’ instead of backslashes ‘\’ too. You’ll also want to respect letter case (i.e. ‘a’ versus ‘A’) for paths before distributing.

[Elvish_Hunter]

From a quick look I see two things that ought to be fixed:

Code: Select all

map_data="{~add-ons\the story of three villages\maps\An_adventure_in_winter}"

Check if, by chance, your map file has the .map extension, and if yes correct the above line. Do you have the "hide extensions for known file types" option disabled in Windows?

Code: Select all

recruit="Fighter, Footpad"
recruit="Goblin Spearman, Rouser, Wolf Rider"

What unit do you mean as "Fighter" exactly? The Spearman? And it's not Rouser, it's "Goblin Rouser" - unless you are using some custom units, of course.
Also, using a proper text editor (Notepad++ or JEdit) will really help against inconsistent indentation.

[Turgon]

Okay, thanks for all the help. I embedded all the hints. The "Fighter" is taken from HTTT, I copied the relevant files, because this unit fits so extremely well into this scenario. Now I come closer to the solution, but another error occurs:

Condition '!(Header_offset == std::string::npos II comma_offset < header=offset)' failed at src\map.cpp:163 in function 'read'.

And I have really no idea what this could mean, exept for the fact that this error seems to be connected to the map somehow. Maybe an experienced programmer could even explain what's wrong about this or where to find more information so I won't make this mistake again.

My map is saved in:
(...)Battle for Wesnoth 1.8.6\userdata\data\add-ons\the_story_of_three_villages\maps
as
An_adventure_in_winter.map

and my scenario file says:

Code: Select all

map_data="{~add-ons/the_story_of_three_villages/maps/An_adventure_in_winter}"

Furthermore I have to excuse my limited knowledge of English, but I don't understand what this hint from Shadowmaster means:

You’ll also want to respect letter case (i.e. ‘a’ versus ‘A’) for paths before distributing.

[mattsc]

and my scenario file says:

Code: Select all

    map_data="{~add-ons/the_story_of_three_villages/maps/An_adventure_in_winter}"

I don't know if that will solve your problem, but try adding '.map' to that (as E_H wrote).

Furthermore I have to excuse my limited knowledge of English, but I don't understand what this hint from Shadowmaster means:

You’ll also want to respect letter case (i.e. ‘a’ versus ‘A’) for paths before distributing.

It means that capitalization matters in file and path names (from a quick look, that seems to be ok in your code).

[Turgon]

I don't know if that will solve your problem, but try adding '.map' to that (as E_H wrote).

That was the crucial point, thanks... Now I have to see that there is no picture to my Fighters, they are all invisible, but that might be solved by copying the right pics into the right folders. Another thing I noticed is that the Goblin leader doesn't recruit, but runs forward... maybe I should try to change something about his castle... but that's for tomorrow. Thanks so far for all the help.

EDIT: Okay, now I have solved the riddles about missing pics and no recruitment and I think I have somehow balanced the map so it is possible in all difficulties. Just one small mistake stays: In the beginning, there is this cavalryman who appears. I have this code inside of my beginning event:

Code: Select all

		[move_unit_fake]
            type="Cavalryman"
            x=0,1,2,4,4,5,6,7,8
            y=13,14,14,14,13,13,12,12,11
        [/move_unit_fake]
		
        {NAMED_LOYAL_UNIT 1 "Cavalryman" 8 11 "Gunther" (_ "Gunther")} # wmllint: recognize Gunther

The problem is, that there is just no fake unit moving along these hexes. In fact there is no fake unit.

[Turgon]

Oh, stupid error I can't erase. Sorry for making a new post, but only now the status of this thread is updated.
My problem is that I don't know how to put up a defeat if Gunther dies. I tried to paste an "endlevel" event in his "Last breath", I tried to define him as a hero, but it didn't work and the game went on with him being dead.

[Ceres]

It could be helpful to show us the code that didn't work then. It should look like this:

Code: Select all

[event]
	name=last breath
	[filter]
		id=Gunther
	[/filter]
	[message]
		speaker=Gunther
		message= _ "Blah blah"
	[/message]
	[endlevel]
		result=defeat
	[/endlevel]
[/event]

[Turgon]

It looks like this:

Code: Select all

[event]
        name=last breath
        [filter]
            id=Gunther
        [/filter]

        [message]

        [message]
            speaker=narrator
            message=_ "The stranger died while he was fighting at the side of the young boys. Certainly there was no hope for the men and women of Flussweiler now."
            image=wesnoth-icon.png
		[endlevel]
            result=defeat
        [/endlevel]
        [/message]
    [/event]

[Ceres]

Code: Select all

[message]
         ...
      [endlevel]
            result=defeat
      [/endlevel]
[/message]

Rethink the order of the tags. [endlevel] is not a subtag of [message].

[Turgon]

That's it, allright. Now it works. BTW any idea about the fake unit movement? Maybe the unit just walks too quickly for my eyes...

[Ceres]

You can't move a fake unit on map borders. Remove the first pair of coordinates (0;13) from the fake unit path.

[Turgon]

A very valuable hint, thanks. Indeed it didn't work at once, but I tried a bit and found out that another problem was that the fake movement was in the "prestart" event. Now it is in the "start" event and works allright. Looks like I can start with the secound scenario, then...
