The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Hi and welcome to The League of Glory! The 1v1 Tournament like no other!

Due to the realitive calmness of the servers at this time we have decided to shake things up by organising a tournament. The tradition of the annually hosted 1v1 tournament must go on. 1v1 is one of the core pillars of...

Hi,
I'm (still :doh:) developing a new campaign and have a query regarding the following warning that appears multiple times in the logfile.

error deprecation: unit.side has been deprecated and will be removed in version 1.17.0.; This returns 0 for side 1 etc and should not be used. Use...

This topic is for the campaign Bad Moon Rising , BfW 1.16 edition. Earlier BfW editions are no longer being developed or supported.

Note: This add-on is now on GitHub:
The supporting add-ons Archaic_Era and Archaic_Resources are also on GitHub

This is a campaign centered on...

Hi! I found in man wesnoth that there is --unsafe-scripts option. It says --unsafe-scripts makes the package package available to lua scripts, so that they can load arbitrary packages.

Can somebody guide me what exactly it unlocks and how would be possible to use, let's say, file io if this is...

The Thelien Attack

It is said the Elvish Invasion of the Far North had been crushed by the might of Great Chief Kapou’e, Son of the Black-Eye. Little known was the part played by the Saurians of the Black Marshes. This is their yarn, perhaps the most significant in the downfall of the last of...

I created a new add-on based on Ravana's XP Modification ( It provides a right-click menu that allows you to spend unit experience for upgrades. The costs in XP can be changed during game creation.

It also adds a Noob upgrade option that provides 100 hitpoints, 10 movement and 2 strikes for a...

Hello everyone! I'm proud to introduce a new extremely experimental add-on, LotI RPG Era.

The era consists of all units with AMLAs from Legend of the Invincibles campaign. Also I added several more units and LotI style advancements for them, more units coming.

The era consists of 5 leagues, I...

So I'm using the Scenario Editor in game (not gonna try WML until I have JS down), and when I right click a unit, there's an option in the popup menu to make them loyal, but when I click it, nothing happens. No error message, no crash, no popup, but it just doesn't work. The unit doesn't turn...

Hi there!

Working on wesnoth-lib/it.po for transtation, I found a ... strange reference

line 2805 reports an unusual enemey_gold_factor : my guess is a typo in one of the 2 scenarios, 2p_Dark_Forecast.cfg or 2p_Isle_of_Mists.cfg

File came from latest git dev branch, probably stable branch is...

After decades of seeking, finally a huge part of Argan's Journey has been found in parts of Elynia Diaries. Although many historians have suspected about the liability of the Journal, others insisted to publish it
A huge re-work have been made in just one month (between April and May 2022).
For...

After having played with saves quite a bit, I am still surprised by the lack of support for selecting saves from sub-directories.

There are two file explorers in wesnoth: the load save dialog (SP, MP) and the map editor file dialog (load, save). They do quite different things.

The load save...

Will there be plans for the Nightblade and what not to have their own portraits?

Hello everyone!

I am back with a new campaign Birth of a Lich , which features some characters who appear in mainline campaigns, but are either regarded as villains (one of them really is, no second thoughts about that) or are considered too insignificant to be given importance.

The hero of this...

I wonder about this topic. Coz I found some MP players said that they are distracted by music, so they always turn it off, when I can play with in-game game or with another music, for me it on contrary can create the scene (although I can play with no music too). So, what are your thoughts?

Hello, I am inferno8 and this thread is about my era. The Era of Magic has been in development since 2007 and at the moment contains 8 playable factions with fully animated units (243 total) and tons of special effects. The aim of the EoMa is to make the most visually appealing and nice to play UMC...

Hi all!

I'm a human-computer interaction researcher looking into the expectations that players have of AI in strategy games, among a few other things. One of the things I'm looking into is suspense/tension, and for that purpose I've made a scenario to play through, and a questionnaire to fill out...

So ... this thread or the topic is a little bit chaotic. I'll explain it in a moment, but I think it is best
to explain the CONTEXT first.

I have been on and off in regards to wesnoth; I think I was inactive for several years too. Anyway.

Many wesnoth folks, in particular the older ones, probably...

5. Was there a bug...

Wish you all a very happy new year 2013. I am choosing this day for uploading my new campaign--Doreldos: Fight to Liberty. It depicts the story of forced subversion of the people of a peaceful land by foreigners, and also portraits their struggle against the oppressors which finally is rewarded...

I created a campaign and it worked fine until i decided to add a second chapter. then, the campaign is broken.
I used this code in my _main

the error i get in the log is

is there smthg wrong in the _main?

I love this game. I really wish I had time for it when I was younger and I wish that -when I played it- I had an idea about what can I learn from it instead of just playing, and hence I got an idea.
I wish that wesnoth evolve at the direction of being an Educational game where anyone can learn and...

Okay folks, you've persuaded me to come out of retirement and try to finish the campaign that so many of you have been crying out for.

I'm currently playing through the campaign to reach the last scenario out of the ones written. I have made the odd tweak where something was obviously wrong and/or...

In this thread I share my art - for the most part - portaits and concepts for GSE aka The Great Steppe Era ( for the purposes of critique, feedback and improvement.
Unfortunately, I am lousy at technical stuff, as a result - my first two portraits (witch and vampire) were not originally in 400x400...

Mechanical and I made a new campaign: Rage. It's a BRUTAL RPG slasher with BLOOD about dunefolk and drakes, a tale of revenge. If you want some proper carnage this campaign will be perfect for you!

You can get the campaign on the 1.16 server. Not recommended for those under 16 years old, or for...

The main purpose of this thread is to discuss the arabic translation of Wesnoth.
Until now, I added only the translation of the wesnoth-editor while I am in the middle of the translation of wesnoth-anl and wesnoth-anl
Notes:
- the units names will be translated as they are in the english version...
