Excluding a faction in multiplayer

Post by regnbage »

Is it possible to exclude a faction in Multiplayer > Local game? I'd prefer that Knalgan Alliance would be excluded from the random choice of factions for either me and computer players (AIs).

You can add except=Knalgan Alliance to that [multiplayer_side].

Example https://github.com/ProditorMagnus/Agele ... in.cfg#L14

Is the file that should be edited (_main.cfg) a part of source code or a part of installed software?

If you dont care about mp safety you can find your local copy of https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/blob ... ras.cfg#L4 and change that.

I suppose it depends on how you want to define those. If it helps, it's part of the configuration (cfg files), so changes to them take effect just by restarting wesnoth.

I don't care about MP safety.
With your help, I've edited my
/usr/share/games/wesnoth/1.10/data/multiplayer/eras.cfg
file and now it seems to work just as expected. Thank you very much! :)

I'd rather go with editing of the installed files. Having edited this file
/usr/share/games/wesnoth/1.10/data/multiplayer/eras.cfg
seems to work fine for me so far.
