The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I've noticed for a while now that square maps (e.g. 40x40) with 4 players situated at the corners don't appear to be really square. The west/east sides always meet earlier.

This is due to the hex nature of the maps. 3 hexes north/south are the same distance in actual cm as 4 hexes east/west....

this is feedback/changelog thread for Altered era/ruleset

this era is an attempt to redesign, rebalance and re-flavor BfW's multiplayer factions according to author's taste (seven races/factions are altered so far).
it also adds some custom rules to make late games on big maps more challenging...

It is literally harmful for your unit to kill attackers. If the attacker survives with like 1 hp it's often not a big deal. If he dies another attacker with full hp can jump in his place............. When patch?

Hi,
I'm balancing a scenario (v1.16.10 on Windows 11) and would like to tweak the AI recruitment but can't get the exact behaviour I'd like.
I have an AI that has a fairly extensive recuit list but I really want 2 types to be favoured (i.e. have more of them being recruited).

I've tried...

The orcish invasion came so quickly and the human kingdom was so unprepared, that half of the northland fell into the hands of the orcs within one year. The winter had stopped their...

Hello, I am a total beginner in programming, only ever done Scratch, but now I wanted to make a campaign, well firstly a scenario, in Wesnoth. I have some errors in my code that I know of (Like using a variable for the recruit= key), but there is something I don't know why it happens: When I load...

WML development feedback loop is quite slow - you need to use F5, build new cache, start scenario again. When only looking to test one specific event or tag there is faster way.

Many WML tags are implemented in Lua now, and because of that Lua has all the tools needed to read and run WML. Note...

StandardLocationFilter allows filtering terrain types by terrain code, including wildcards
but that's pretty much it

is there any way to filter terrains by defense/movement category, as they are listed in unit type descriptions?

namely these 15 categories as listed in movetypes:
deep_water,...

We are excited to release to you fellow Wesnoth Fans, a little treat. For those of you that have played Eastern Europe at War, the Infantry Wars Era, or 18th Century Warfare, this mod will probably appeal to you. This is going to be another historic mod to add to your *favorite* mod library. The...

Not sure this is wesnoth's fault at all but maybe someone can help out. The latest flatpak download of 1.16.10 crashes when I switch screens using CTRL F1-4 (Linux btw). I did check the linux logs first time and it had some error about SDL. Probably a bug in the graphics software of Debian Buster...

Today I just played my first multiplayer game. I minimized game for a few minutes. When I maximized it, it was just a black screen, and there was nothing except for a short line of pixels with alternating colors. I think those colors were red, green, and blue. The line was like 9-12 pixels long I...

Hi, everyone :) I am FLORIS !
(I'm dropping a picture of me, so you see I'm not some confused kid :P )

This is my first time here (in the forum) and possibly last... Because i am tired and i have no more powers to fight windmills...
I would like to share my story to those whom it may concern... To...

Greetings! My name is Inferno8, and I'm thrilled to introduce you to my add-on - Era of Magic (EoMa). Since 2007, I've been working tirelessly to create an immersive and visually stunning addition to Battle for Wesnoth. With over 8 playable factions boasting more than 290 fully animated units, EoMa...

was clicking through some random things within game/app just now

this seems to be some kind of thing that shows lots of errors

will forget about it in future so probably better to ask about these errors now

there seems to only be relatively few documents that's only saved for 2 days -- why is...

Wesnoth 2 when? Make it much more complex with 3d graphics and open world conquest, etc

As this topic deals with polish translation, it is in polish.

Witajcie.

Zacząłem zajmować się polskim tłumaczeniem Battle for Wesnoth.
Zamierzam uporządkować nieco nazewnictwo jednostek.
Pierwsze propozycje zmian to

Greetings. This is KameRamen (I have moved my account. Because I wanted to change my username.)
This topic is the place to discuss The Bees Journey New Edition an add-on campaign in the process of development. This work is the new version of The Bees Journey...

Let's say that I have a unit with a list of custom variables inside modifications.
Now, I need to filter the list of modifications to check if it had a match.
The result will turn false if it had this variables value and true if it hadn't.
If I use tag, the process will be repeated.
For example:...

This is feedback topic for SeaFire campaigns and SeaFire era.

The campaigns are twofold.

SeaFire: Returnation is a short story composed of scenarios I and Wes'Mar made. All 8 scenarios are made, but are not nescessarily bug-free.

SeaFire: Origins is a prequel for Returnation. Only 4 out of ???...

So I ransacked some of the excellent artwork from Spacenoth and put together a space scenario.

Players must travel the galaxy, colonise planets, build a fleet and capture the enemy's homeworlds. It's kind of a cross between A New Land and High Seas, and partly inspired by Masters of Orion. When...

I'm working on a new faction that should pair well with, or against the Dunefolk and other mainline factions. This faction features magick, whereas the Dunefolk do not.

EDIT: Another sketch/unfinished sprite

Hello,

I am trying to implement some big pieces into my terrain graphics, but the matter is particularly confusing to me. Could you please take a look if there is anything obvious that I am doing wrong?

Have you ever felt that mainline's Eastern Invasion was... lackluster? So do I, but the campaign premise has so much promise that I couldn't bear to see it go to waste.

So, I've worked on-and-off for the past year to build an extensive rewrite of Eastern Invasion, which I'm proud to present here...

Hi! Some may have already seen me on this forum. Putting aside the idea of using in redrawing loyalist (I draw well enough, what would qualify for mainline) I started to draw a faction of dark elves. I know I'm not the first, not I last, but not the one proposed in the Addons factions of drow I...

Wesvoid is an old incomplet campaign (from BfW 1.2).
I used to play it although it is uncompleted but I enjoyed it.
Now, I am planning to port it to BfW 1.16 and to prepare it to 1.17 (and I hope someone helps me to complete or refined it) .
War-Torn is a beautiful (but simple) campaign from BfW...

Some time ago, for my UMC Campaign, I created a Unitmarker system, which lets you label your units, to make it easier to keep track of important ones, that you don't want to lose. (because of a special trait combination, or an item that was given to it for example)
Then I saw, that Admant14...
