The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

I've just noticed, that using array variables e.g. $arrayname. .name inside a prestart event doesn't work. It seems the variable is considered as empty. The solution for me was, to put it in the start event. I'm still curious: Is this a bug or this intended?

I've started playing Wesnoth again after a long while and have been loving the Biased RNG setting in the campaigns. However I've also been trying out the multiplayer with a friend and couldn't find any way to use it instead of the default RNG when creating games. Is there any way to enable Biased...

First, apologies if I've posted in the wrong place; I'm assuming what I'd like to do is possible in WML. :)

Just finished the the stories Deceiver's Gambit and Ashevier's Dogs, one thing I am left wondering: how concurrent is the fall of Dwarven Doors to these events? Orcs are running rampant over Wesnoth, is this chaos contributing to the orcs then attacking Knalga, or have they done this by the time of...

Hello! I just wanted to report a bug (maybe it's a bug) and ask a question.

Hi everyone! I've got a couple of requests to gather stats for Afterlife Rated 1.18 . As there are 5000+ games already, we can have a decent sample size to judge what's going on (although, as ratings were reset and it's just 5000 raw games, that wouldn't compare to Afterlife 1.16 year's stats)....
