1.9 branch crashes intermittently

I've been having continual problems on my mac and no one elses's with the programming playing for a while and then either slowing down and hanging or cashing and having to be force quit.

Re: Introduce yourself here!

I've used the editor before, but what if you want to create a map based on maps of Mars? The long way is to do it manually, tile by tile in the editor Well, I don't know who and where they did told you that, but it's certainly wrong. Either that or I'm misunderstanding you. If you want to create map...

Re: Introduce yourself here!

Someone told me there are certain programs that will take a map scanned into a computer and converted to photoshop and turn them into wesnoth maps, but wouldn't tell me how to do do it. I know they were trying to be helpful, but most of the answers I've gotten to my questions really didn't give me a...

Re: Introduce yourself here!

Hello, I'd desperately love to learn open source programing and resolve some 1.9.9 crashing but there seem to be a shortage of teachers willing to show me how to take a map created in another graphic format and transfer it to wesnoth, resolve bugs, etc, and although I try to follow the proper way to...

Mac version of Wesnoth 1.9 crashes

I've been encountering a problem where the game crashes while playing it under 1.9x branch version of the game. Emptying the cache seemed to help for a while but now, every time I try to plan a game, it doesn't seem to matter what era happens, after a certain point while playing the game, it would f...

these functions only work for one turn, afterward I get error messages and unresponsiveness if I try to change subsequent players back and forth.

computer players don't work right

This happened with several different games in several eras with different units each time when I start a game in 1.9.5 & .6 and then save and quit. Upon loading the saved game directly or going into multiplayer mode and then loading the saved game, if I change any given computer player e.g. Play...

Re: Suprise- Joke unit

Study the cgf file of an elvish shaman to find where the healing ability is added. Copy those lines into your joke unit's cfg file. I doubt you looked, because you would see this: [abilities] {ABILITY_HEALS} [/abilities] Add that to the custom unit's file somewhere, and it will have the healing abi...

Re: Suprise- Joke unit

It's not "the simple campaigns" but "A simple campaign" (just search for it in the add-on-list). It's a great start for a WML coder, because Anonymissimus has commented the whole code. Crend All it has is a custom unit, and I'm not sure I understand what is written here- there a...

Re: Suprise- Joke unit

don't know which are the simple campaigns but downloaded "A great mage" and couldn't find the specified unit in the unit description list. Is it in the same place on a Mac as a PC?

Re: Suprise- Joke unit

Do everything a little at a time: Download the Campaign-How-To or A Simple Campaign. (Make sure the campaign runs.) Copy a unit file like Mage_Great.cfg into the unit folder of the campaign, which will be in your add-ons folder, and change the name and ID of the unit to "Eagle Master" or ...
