The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Please give the development branch (the 1.19.x versions) a go, TSG has been rewritten to be the tutorial and first campaign.

Playing the version that's now in the master branch ( e96340040fc3a3fa375b384857ad816750ee1b0a ).

I'm out of practice, but even on the default difficulty this seems to have strong a "you lost the campaign on S01 or the first turn of S02, but it's going to be 13 turns into S02 before you know that ...

Wesnoth 1.18 added a core tropical_forest terrain using terrain code ^Ftr, so the add-on's rainforest is logged as an error and then ignored.

Terrain codes with Y, Z, y or z are reserved for UMC, anything else might get a mainline terrain take over that code in a future release.

Sounds like #2682, that purple flags get the time-of-day recoloring and end up looking too blue during nighttime or underground.

The dwarven flags are already a different shape than the troll ones, but that isn't obvious with purple and black flags underground.

Do you mean the orb above the HP and XP bars, the one that for your own units is green, yellow or red depending on whether it has moved this turn?

For those colors to have meaning, they have to be independent from the team's color.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
