Re: Wesband, MP dungeon-crawler (now for Wesnoth 1.9.14+ !)

The initial scenario is not random. There are a couple of different start maps, but there is one map that happens more than half the time. And, if you follow the same sequence of purchases, it will generate the same set of monsters in the dungeon. Not fun. I'm not sure what caused this, but I think...

Re: cleave optimization

Note that WML concatenation is handled by the WML parser on load and variable/formula substitution is done much later at run-time as necessary. True. I twisted the order a bit in an attempt to make the result easier to read. :P Apologies if that ends up throwing someone for a loop. (I don't see a c...

Re: [engine] A possibility to determine a players mp faction

As I understand, eras are not actually loaded if you're playing a campaign. Doesn't affect your suggestion much, but just saying. Multiplayer campaigns do load an era. Filtering events on something less specific than "faction" would allow a scenario to instantly adapt to non-standard eras...

Re: Problems with multiplayer campaigns

Let me guess, this occurs after you've loaded a saved game? Try reading this post:

One of the GSOC projects this year is hopefully going to deal with some of these issues.

Re: Wesband, MP dungeon-crawler (now for Wesnoth 1.9.14+ !)

Sorry about my long absence, real life got in the way, and I had to take an unplanned wesbreak. If you're wondering how things stand, here's an update: I completed a lot of bugfixes and other improvements before my time away, but the reason why I didn't upload a new version was that I was between a ...

Re: Crendgrim's Lua Thread

Hmmm... what's pnr? I don't know if it's related to the problem, but "for j = 1, pnr, -1 do" seems suspicious to me. If pnr >= 1 (which is suggested by its use as an index for a wml table earlier), I would think either "for j = 1, pnr do" or "for j = pnr, 1, -1 do" woul...

Re: Crendgrim's Lua Thread

Hmmm... you may need to give that grid cell permission to grow. Try this:

Code: Select all

T.column { vertical_grow = "true", horizontal_grow = "true", T.label { id = "listbox_text", linked_group = "labels" } }

Re: How to make a new ability

An ability that does this, named Battle Tutor, was implemented for the Free Saurian faction in the Era of Strife; you could start by looking to see how they did it.

Re: Crendgrim's Lua Thread

I think what you actually want is a [listbox], which is a specialized form of a [scrollbar_panel]. For example, you could do something like the following (simplified version of your dialog, but including usage of list_definition and list_data): local quest_list = {} local quests = helper.get_variabl...

If you're using [unit] to create a unit, you can do [unit] # whatever other keys you're using to create the unit [variables] die_on="$($turn_number+10)" [/variables] [unit] to add the value into the unit's variables when the unit is created. For [transform_unit], you're going to have to ad...

Re: path to savedata?

I don't think accessing a saved game directly is possible, but you should be able to pass values from one playthrough of a campaign to another using persistent variables.

Actually, I think it would be better to set it to the turn you want them to die. Consider: [set_variable] name=my_unit.variables.die_on value="$($turn_number+5)" [/set_variable] [event] name=new turn first_time_only=no [kill] [filter_wml] [variables] die_on=$turn_number [/variables] [/filt...
