Re: Return from the Abyss [SP campaign for 1.12/1.14]

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to write your detailed impressions of the campaign, it really made my day! :D I guess I still feel attached to it after years of publishing it. I'm glad you enjoyed it despite the length and challenge of some of the levels, I kind of agree its main limitation is that s...

Re: AI-generated Art

As far as I understand, there's a fundamental difference with google search which is that the images generated are new, since these neural-network based algorithms are capable of some level of abstraction (the abstract 'concepts' form what doofus calls encoding). It is closer to 'taking inspiration'...

AI-generated Art

Hi! Some of you may already know this, but there is an online platform that creates images starting from natural languages. it is called DALL-E . True artists might be horrified by the concept, but I think it would be a great resource for UMC creators, especially for story screens. There are 50 free...

Re: Children of the Dust [SP campaign for BfW1.14]

Hi EarthCake, thanks for the corrections! :) millennary -> millenary (I was actually really puzzled about this one since it's correct to say 'millennial', 'millennia' (with double 'n'), but it turns out that this one you spell with only one 'n'.) right, and know that I see its definition, it seems t...

Re: Children of the Dust [SP campaign for BfW1.14]

I was trying to replicate the crush but I couldn't. Do you have a savefile from the beginning of that scenario? If so if you send it to me I can check if it's dependent to something happened beforehand in the campaign. Otherwise it might be some deeper bug related with the particular operative syste...

Re: Children of the Dust [SP campaign for BfW1.14]

Hello adventurer! Finishing "The Enemies Meet" I was told that I would start the next scenario with +100 gold. But the next scenario, not counting a dialogue-only scenario, I started with 120 gold. It seems hard to believe that the minimum gold is 20. After that scenario dwarves and aragwa...

Re: Return from the Abyss [SP campaign for 1.12/1.14]

weird, not even when you move some unit close to the King? Is the dwarf under shroud at the beginning of the level now (as expected)? If you have the savefile of the beginning of the level, I could try to look into it.

Re: Hunters of the East

I can take care of it, since I'm still more or less active. At some point I'll go through it and try to rewrite the code decently and fix what wasn't working of the story. But thanks a lot for the offer anyway! :)

Re: Return from the Abyss [SP campaign for 1.12/1.14]

Hi Zet, thanks for the bug report, I think that indeed something was broken while porting the campaign to the new wesnoth version. I uploaded a fix in the latest version, can you check if with the latest version the problem persists? In principle there's almost nothing to do in that scenario, only a...

Re: Return from the Abyss [SP campaign for 1.12/1.14]

Finally a little question: the duets between Bragor and Begol are inspired by I can't really remember if I was inspired by some specific pair of characters, I probably thought that it was fitting for them to talk like that, since they weren't warriors and could be a bit more relaxed about... everyt...

Re: Return from the Abyss [SP campaign for 1.12/1.14]

Hi! Scenario 16: the objective is deceptive; the condition to win "Explore the forest and look for help." it's totally false, because the only way to win the scenarios is to defeat the enemy leaders; "explore the forest" it is a tips, not a winning condition; however it's a tip o...

Re: Hunters of the East

Hi! I didn't have actually plans to port it (I think I didn't even port it to 1.14). It was my very first campaign and I think the lack of experience shows in many ways, so I wasn't too proud of it. There were scenarios which I was happy about though, especially gameplay-wise, so I'd like the save t...

Hi! Yes, I know I'm being quite lazy with text domains (among other things). Are those causing any issue?

Re: The Wolves' Last Path [WIP SP campaign for BfW1.14]

My units demand upkeep. Is that intended? Yes, that was my intention. The mechanic I envisioned for the campaign (at least the publish part) is: no recall cost, yes upkeep, villages only provide upkeep and no additional resources. Thanks for the typo/bug hunting, as always! I'm going to look into i...

Re: Return from the Abyss [SP campaign for 1.12/1.14]

I arrived at scenario 13 Iron and Mud (even if the cfg file it's named dethroned king) and tunnels don't work Unless there is a bug I cannot reproduce, I think it's just a bit confusing to the player, you're actually not the first one having this problem. Point is, the tunnels work automatically (w...
