The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

(1) What difficulty levels and game versions have you played the scenario on? The attached replay is from version 1.16.10 on Challenging (Hard) difficulty. (2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10) I am playing through the mainline campaigns again because I lost my saves recently when I s...

I posted my The Test of the Clans replay yesterday, so I am adding my The Battle for Wesnoth replay from this morning. (1) What difficulty levels and game versions have you played the scenario on? Normal and Challenging with Wesnoth 1.16. (2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10) I played ...

Well, I contradicted my previous post, so I think I should share my experience, along with the replay. I did it on Challenging with just 262 starting gold. It was ugly, but I did it! (1) What difficulty levels and game versions have you played the scenario on? I’ve played it on Normal and Challengin...

I'm playing through this on Challenging. (I did it on Normal before.) One thing I've learned, 262 is not enough starting gold. I'm going to have to go back and redo at least Return to Wesnoth and spend less money on troops.

You can also just not "unleash the Kraken." The sea serpent only comes out if you move to a certain Merfolk village. Don't touch the village or go in the deep water and the sea serpent does not come out. If you do activate the serpent, it attacks the undead as well as your units. It can be...

GNU/Emacs on Linux, at least, handles scenario files as configuration files by default because of the cfg extension. It does a decent job of syntax highlighting out of the box:
I have not yet installed the lua module for Emacs.

I either edit in the dedicated repo and then merge with git subtree, or edit in the big repo and then split or cherry-pick back to the dedicated repo. That seems like an interesting approach. I've never used git subtrees before, though I do contribute to a project that uses git submodule. I'm going...

No map file to load the scenario. Also, maybe leave out the defeat_condition= key completely in all sides and see how that works? Most MP scenarios don't mention this key. Right, I didn't think the map file was particularly relevant, plus it is embarrassingly simple because I'm just learning to use...

Oh. I'm on a roll today.... I think I see my problem. It's not a bug with my code nor is it a bug in Wesnoth. I'm playing it wrong with 5 enemy computer players, or at least I misunderstood how that works. According to https://wiki.wesnoth.org/ScenarioWML#Scenario_End_Conditions , "If any two n...

I typed too soon. I just played my scenario/map with the attached version of the cfg file and after my human controlled leader was killed, the game continued until my remaining units killed another leader and then it said I had been defeated. I said it worked before because I tested it with only two...

I'm just curious if anyone uses revision control software such as git, Mercurial, svn, etc. with their scenario and/or map files. I am thinking about using git and am looking for tips from others on how to organize the files and get the game to see them with limited fuss. My current thought is to us...

OK. I think I figured it out. I added an explicit to the multiplayer. I guess something I did in the side tags at some point overrode the default.

I need to be more patient before jumping to the forum, but maybe someone else can learn from my example?

I made my first map and scenario last night for multiplayer. It's a really simple 6 player area map with no villages, etc. When I test played the map by itself, everything seemed to work, including the defeat condition for the human player against 5 computer players. I think it worked with a really ...

It is not bugged. The ghost phase has been reworked to trigger in a moveto event. You move to the edge of the deep water and start the ghost part. You have to defeat the ghost and when you do, you gain a loyal special ghost and complete the scenario. Yes, thanks for the reply. I just figured it out...

(1) What difficulty level and version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario on? Wesnoth 1.16.1 Normal diffitulty (2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10) 10. I think it is bugged on this release. I can't recruit ghosts. I'm on turn 61 and I can't find anyway out of the dungeion. I've no...
