The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

That text was originally connected with the creation of Halstead - comparison of the text when it was added. Halstead's creation was moved earlier as part of Nemaara's plans, but the Wiki hasn't been updated to match.

I've logged a new issue #9710 connected to this.

If you use [side]save_id=some_name_1 , [side]save_id=some_name_2 , etc then the engine should carry over both the recall list and the recruit list for you, automatically storing all units from the map onto the appropriate side's recall list. [unit]id= will automatically recall instead of creating a ...

IIUC, your WML has a [side][ai][leader_goal] for that side.

The default for po4a is to only generate documents once they're 80% translated, so it doesn't generate it yet, sorry.

I suspect that getting it listed on the Wiki will need Ivanovic or Pentarctagon to edit the Wiki page.

Assuming Debian or Ubuntu, this should generate the manual's HTML file to open in a browser: /usr/bin/po4a-translate -f docbook -L utf8 -m doc/manual/manual.en.xml -p po/wesnoth-manual/ar.po -l doc/manual/manual.ar.xml --keep 0 /usr/bin/xsltproc --nonet --stringparam callout.graphics 0 --stringparam...

With -manpages and -manual, those textdomains aren't shown within the game inself. The files in -manpages are shown by the Unix man command, while -manual generates HTML to show in a web browser.

Scenarios 06 and 21 have code that doesn't work on Wesnoth 1.18 (haven't tested, just used grep). filter_ability was added in the 1.17 branch, but renamed as experimental_filter_ability before 1.18 released, which is currently being discussed in 7992 - that issue doesn't have a clear explanation yet...

I don't think the player really needs to be told that letting their units die is a bad thing. That's the problem - they need to learn that letting their units die isn't always a bad thing, at least from a game mechanics point of view. One of the big speed-bumps in the game is understanding that you...

Using a cavalryman as the main hero means that the player won't understand the numbers on screen until they understand resistances. For a game that depends a lot on numbers, the tutorial ought to introduce things in an order that a player can understand them - otherwise there's a risk that they'll j...

Unit-specific special notes should show up in the tooltip when hovering over the unit_type's name in the sidebar. I haven't checked what the syntax is to add them though.

In the end I think I did not like the campaign that much. I do see the effort to make something very complete and large. However, the amount of units in the Eastern Flank and this last scenario made it more of a chore rather than an entertainment. If the campaign had an option to just see the story...

Comments on S1 (with tutorial on) : Instead of "the golden crown in Deoran's upper-left-hand corner", I suggest "the golden crown above Deoran's HP bar". The undo hint only appears once, and its first appearance might be at a time when the player doesn't need to undo (they still ...

message= _ "I must agree with $companion_name about this sage Mebrin’s poor odds... And it truly would be a great risk for us to venture so far afield, isolated from Westin and in unknown territories." When $companion_name is limited to the set of three companions, it's better to have thr...

Make the modification load the resource, instead of putting an extra copy of it into the modification. That way, if a campaign author has already enabled the resource, the mod is just telling the engine to enable a resource that's already enabled.
