The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I do have a related question for everyone who plays Wesband, though. Do you get much (or even any) use out of the undo functionality in the current inventory menu? I'm wondering if it's worth keeping, or if just the accept/cancel all options are enough. Can't recall ever using it... But I could ser...

Actually, XP-farming in Angband and variants requires breeders; there is no experience for merely wounding a monster. Sounds like you found a possible solution right there. Take away attack XP and give only kill XP. However, if you look at the popularity of the Survival Extreme games on the server,...

Still no response at the fact that no multplayer RPG likes farming. It is valid for single player based games, since it allows you to adjust difficulty according to your likes. But in MP it forces everyone to farm or they'll be undepowered compared to you. This is the first time the distinction was...

Troll acknowledged. Ad hominem is bad, mmkay? It looks like both sides have presented plenty of conjecture. All you can really do is wait for the current maintainer of the add-on to respond. Breaking down into an insult-fest isn't going to do anything. Except perhaps draw the Wrathful Eye Of The Po...

And removing any boundary conditions that a player could use to farm... would require making the game a lot less enjoyable to everyone - except for those who play only the style that you've decided is the style of play. Farming is not "style of play", it is exploit . Troll acknowledged.

Add to this list: *lack of blow resistance. Try to kill 2 Giantstool's at once by melee-specialized character. :| Sounds like there are people who disagree about the balance not only of individual elements within the game, but of the game itself. I prefer a game that doesn't make it so that your ch...

Farming style gives a lot more profit than fast killing. Thats why it should be adjusted. There is two way of farming xp in Wesband: 1) Keeping enemy alive. Ways of adjustment: You can set levels of all units to 0 (it's not good solution, but it is easy to implement.) You can force player to spend ...

You play whatever style you enjoy - be it farming or fast-killing.

I've noticed that when NPCs level up (even my minions) to a certain point, many of them get Chill Wave and Shadow Wave, even if they're types I wouldnt' expect to get them (Bandit, for instance). In fact, my minion White Mages were given those spell attacks (instead of Heal and Lightbeam!) at one po...

Yes, healing opponents is one way to mine them for more XP. As has already been noted, this can take time. My favorite mining NPC is the witch - she advances only to level 2, and heals herself. if you have weak fists and two +8 white mage minions behind you... then it can be a neverending cycle of +...

The 2nd var definition in the macro below has the field name spelled 'materical', not material. And should it be looking at the ranged weapons, or melee? #define UPGRADE_MAGIC_WHITE_METAL_TO_ARCANE_CONDITION PATH . . . [variable] name={PATH}.variables.inventory.weapons.ranged[${PATH}.variables.equip...

Good eye, Brian_A, on that abilities spelling. I'm sure that's all that is. Maybe you could try to change it yourself and see if it improves. Already did. :) I backed up a few turns after fixing the typo, but still got the exact same error message. Odd thing is, it looked like the variable 'abiliti...

I don't speak LUA (I'm a C++/unix person), but after seeing the same sort of "expected table, got nil" out of UnitConstruction.lua too many times, I took a peek at the code referred to in the stack trace. So arg 1 is "abilities", and I looked upwards in the code for that var. But...

Hi Xudojnik, I'm not one of the programmers for Wesband or Wesnoth, but I can answer your "NPCs fight each other" question. Yes - if the NPCs are on different teams (say goblins and bandits) and they see each other, then when it's their team's turn to move, they'll attack each other. I've ...

That's really weird. If you've gone that far, you've obviously used [create_weapon] more than once by that point. I have no idea what would have caused that. Got a new weirdness for your viewing pleasure. I started a new one player game. I got two henchmen, and then headed down to the first level. ...
