Don't you need a search_recall_list there?

Do you have an actual space in your folder name? I.e., 3rd Army ? You should rename it and replace the space with an underscore, i.e., 3rd_Army . One wonders why campaign .cfgs that contain all those understrokes I removed work just fine, though. The underscore character should work fine, but spaces...

Are you sure that's not supposed to be wml.tag.variable?

Just installed 1.18 BfW from Steam. Campaign originally played on 1.16. If you want to continue from your save file, you may just want to install version 1.16, because 1.18 is not 100% compatible with 1.16 (and there's no guarantee it will work with save files from 1.16). If you install 1.16 you sh...

I'm not sure I understand what you have in unit_filter.

I'm still not clear on what unit_filter is expected to contain.

It might help if you posted the WML code.

_G is about Lua variables, [set_global_variable] is about WML variables which are stored in file. Yep, got that - and I think you've answered my question but, to be crystal clear, if something is created by [set_global_variable] , that variable/data will not automagically appear in _G ? That is, th...

_("There is a $color $species.") I only speak American, not even English, but that looks like a pain for translators. Would they re-order $color and $species as necessary (in which case this appears to be a preferable alternative to string.format, which I find much more readable)? What ab...

I see quite a lot of errors in the code pasted above: The _main.cfg file refers to {~add-ons/my_first_campaign/scenarios} instead of {~add-ons/3rd_army/scenarios} . The scenario .cfg file doesn't have a closing [/scenario] tag. The scenario .cfg file refers to a macro TRAIT_LEADER which doesn't actu...

_("There is a $color $species.") I only speak American, not even English, but that looks like a pain for translators. Would they re-order $color and $species as necessary (in which case this appears to be a preferable alternative to string.format, which I find much more readable)? Yes, th...

If you used global variables then stringx.vformat(_("There is a $color $species."), _G) something of this idea will work. _G is table of global variables. The stringx.vformat documentation also suggests using WML variables - then this should work: stringx.vformat(_("There is a $color...

* - What is the correct term for doing a {...} btw? A table constructor . Oh, no pressure or anything but if you do get chance (and aren't utterly bored with my stupidity) I'd still like to know what it was with _ I got wrong. _ is a function which should always take as its argument a single litera...

First, why does using both stringx.vformat and concatenation not make sense? Can stringx.vformat also concatenate and I missed it? Well, yes? Isn't that basically what your second example was doing - concatenating strings using stringx.vformat , without using the concatenation operator ( .. )? I'm ...

I prefer the first (concatenation) method however I've read on stackoverflow that this is inefficient. I would not worry about this unless you are (a) inside a loop, and (b) performing concatenation on the same string over and over again inside that loop. Performing a single string concatenation, o...

I'm confused what the confusion is about at this point. I think the problem is that the scenario editor is just confusing. It basically assumes that you already know how to write WML code by hand, but if you know how to write WML code by hand, it's not clear that the scenario editor is actually use...

That doesn't look right - the underscore character _ for marking a string as translatable cannot be used in a .pbl file.

See the example .pbl file.
