The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Alert to git users: I've just discovered that the name of the wesnoth repository has changed. As far as I can tell, the 1.11.12 tag does not appear in 'wesnoth-old', while, according to Github, it does appear in 'wesnoth'. I'll go clone the new repo now, even though there's probably better ways to f...

Thanks for the help. This thread does help clear my mind about how branches work.

Ok, that makes sense. :eng: But I can't figure out if that relates to the problem I was having. How does the checkout directory effect merges? When I first tried to switch from 1.10.7 to 1.11.10, I did 'git pull origin master', so git should have had the information it needed without looking at the ...

Well, if you pull now, you can check out 1.11.10-retag if you want to, but 1.11.10 has a rather important bug, so you should really get 1.11.11 instead. Done. It looks like you had 1.11.10, but hadn't merged FETCH_HEAD into master for some reason. (which is a complicated way of saying, you fetched,...

I'm doing this without first pulling for 1.11.11: $ git branch * (no branch) master $ git describe --tags 1.11.10 $ git checkout master Checking out files: 100% (1268/1268), done. Previous HEAD position was ce43713... another pot-update, just to be sure Switched to branch 'master' Your branch is beh...

My clone is only about 2 weeks old. (My computer is new.) I used it to install 1.10.7. Per your advice, I used the following commands: git reset --hard 1.10.7 git pull Thankfully, I did get a successful checkout from this, but at the end of the 'git pull' output, I got this message: You are not curr...

At the risk of side-tracking the thread, I do blame git for allowing these subtle mistakes that lead to massive frustration. Mercurial is more strict about how its repos are structured, and it doesn't have these problems.

Try git fetch origin 1.11.10 and then git checkout 1.11.10 . $ git fetch origin 1.11.10 From https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth-old * tag 1.11.10 -> FETCH_HEAD $ git checkout 1.11.10 error: pathspec '1.11.10' did not match any file(s) known to git. When I did the pull earlier, git tried to do some ...

I can't seem to find a git tag for this release. I've done 'git pull origin master'. How do I checkout 1.11.10?

Yes, that's noted in the comment.

I know Lua well; I know it has first-class functions. I copy pointers to global functions to local variables for efficiency: Local variables are very quick, since they are accessed by index. If possible, make global variables local (weird, eh?). Seriously, it works great and indexed access is alway...

This is untested, but I think it's pretty simple once you understand it: -- You need get_variable because you can't iterate over something you get -- through set_wml_var_metatable. wml = wesnoth.get_variable(var_name) for _, tag in ipairs(wml) do wesnoth.wml_actions[tag[1]](tag[2]) end EDIT: Fixed t...

Try this: Race is a property of the unit type, not the unit. (I included the __cfg field because the wiki doesn't list race as a field.)

Then I wanted to add a tooltip using the code to the list_definition. I tried this (also some other variations, that didn't seem to help): dialog.grid.row[2].column.grid.row.column.grid.row[2].listbox.tooltip = "blablabla" But it is telling that ' attempt to index field 'grid' (a nil value) '. What...
