The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I'm not a very good artist, but in general I think the main issue is that you're still missing contrast. When zoomed in it looks better, but looking at your sprite at normal size I have to squint to see helmet details. The darkest colors on your color palettes should be much darker, for one, and the...

Iron Council by China Mieville -makes me want to stop writing alltogether. Really, I mean the guy can write a single sentence well, and when it comes to the whole novel there is nothing I can do to compete with him. (I mean that it is really good) I've heard a ton of good things about Perdido Stree...

Still reading The Stormcaller by Tom Lloyd. It's written in a third-person omniscient point of view, and it's really jarring when he switches viewpoints. Occasionally it's not even clear whose head we're in; a problem that's compounded by the size of the cast list. Some other people have complained ...

We're starting to derail the thread and it should probably be split...but yeah, Joram got it. For me, my interests are too scattered that I never devote myself to one thing for too long. Just look at my Wesnoth presence: I've been coming back here pretty much just for the reading thread since I foun...

It's amazing how much voter turnout is affected by dumb things like whether or not it's raining. I'm not voting because I'm halfway across the state from where I'm registered, and it's too late to do an absentee ballot. :oops: How about voting in your current state? Some states (like, say, Minnesot...

I finally finished The Stormcaller (Twilight Reign Trilogy 1) - and I'd rate it as fair to good. It's reasonably well-written, but I have to say that it suffers by having an awful lot of characters and factions, many if not most of which are not really properly explained or introduced, so it remain...

Timeline is my favorite Michael Crichton novel, although the horrendous movie with quite possibly the worst actor ever as the lead kind of ruins my memory of it. The Runelords series by David Farland, beginning with the Sum of All Men http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sum-All-Men-Runelords/dp/1841495603 - goo...

Just finished The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold. The author is better known for her science fiction Vorkosigan series, but I saw this at a library book sale and remembered that its sequel won the Hugo a few years ago. Now I managed to be one of the first to snag Brandon Sanderson's latest...

Wesnoth code is scary. I'm not one of the developers, but my opinion is that it'd be faster to roll your own. That might depend on your skill level though. If you try to use the code as-is, you'll end up pulling in a whole lot of dependencies (and thus functionality) that you probably don't need or ...

Well, I have confirmed via metadata in the file, that Ryan Reilly is indeed the composer. I suppose I'll just include a textfile crediting him, the Allacrost project, and acknowledging that the song is under the GPL. If it is pointed out that I'm missing anything or doing anything I shouldn't be, I...

Well nobody can really tell you for certain what you have to do unless someone sues and a judge decides. But we can guess by reading the GPL (just note of course that lawyers can guess better). The GPL states that you have to publish an appropriate copyright notice. The thing is, if the files distri...

Their wiki is excellent. Here you go:

Some amazing stuff in this thread. Though I have no interest in CCG I've been inspired to check out your website. :) Or at least I'm trying, but it's loading very slowly. If I've not got round to it already (which I might have, I don't remember offhand), the mermaid will go in as an initiate alt as ...

Nicely done for starting from scratch! I'll be lurking around your google groups and code pages watching with interest.

Any updates on this? This game would really be a huge enrichment for webOS. I was thinking about porting it myself but since its allready in the work (or will be soon, apparently) this will not be necessary. If you need any help I would be glad to be of service though. Maggun, for the record, nothi...
