Hello, I am compiling Wesnoth 1.18.5 for Ubuntu and ran into some problems. I have very little experience, so I first attempted to follow this tutorial from 2013 , but all of the dependencies were outdated. I searched how to do all of the things, got a concise summary from AI, and installed all of...

Hello,

I am currently trying to animate two units at once during a cutscene. However, I need one of the units to start animating a second later, as opposed to both units starting the animation at the same time, thereby desynchronising them.

I started by the following code, which makes them...

Hi!

I want to have friendly dwarf miners convert to your side when you move next to one. But I have the problem to access the id from the unit I moved next to. Here's the code I have used:

Triggering the event itself works fine, but storing and searching for the adjacent unit does work, because...

I can't remember the campaign but can remember one of the scenarios: in a swamp, fighting against mermen, meet a Saurian and his Queen has been taken captive. You have to free the Saurian Queen and a certain number of prisoners and get back to basecamp or kill all the bosses. You enter the dungeons...

Well, its this time of the year and again and I decided to make another Advent Calendar. Its the fourth, because I did not find time last year.

As I can't...

Hi,
Have a dummy/fake ability that confirms is present but doesn't display a description even tho' it has an id.

Here's the relevant code chunks (clipped for brevity):

When the unit advances, this advancement is captured in a post advance event which is where confirms the ability exists....

On August 15, 2005, a multi-player era was published to the Wesnoth 0.8 addons server. This era contained two factions that you've never heard of called the Loyalists and the Rebels, and two factions that might look a little familiar to us,...

Would it be possible to make recall cost dependent on which fort is used?

E.g., player has two leaders, so simple scripts wouldn't work. There is an extra castle with just two hex, one for leader and one empty - would it be possible to make recall cost equal zero for this one particular castle but...
