The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Asmodeus has put together this very nice Rogue Mage portrait, for future inclusion in mainline. Doofus-01 requested some changes, and also requested we document the process on the forums so we have a more permanent record - discord conversations can be ephemeral.

Here's Asmodeus's original Rogue...

Hello,

I think that even if my view is locked, that the camera would still scroll to the following:

Available source literature does not mention possibility of using force_scroll=no . I don't suppose this is intentional?

After eighteen months of development, I’m proud to announce the 1.0 release of...

Hi there,

Just for fun, I've been profiling and patching Wesnoth (1.18 code base). The overall effect is >2x speedup with plenty of future potential. There was no single you-done-goofed hotspot, so I ended up with ~100 small to large-scale changes. Areas touched include

map drawing logic...

Hi,
To make certain bits of transient information more visible to the player I'm using a label which shortly after is removed and replaced by floating text.
This works fine except matching font sizes is fiddly; by trial and error the best way seems to be to leave the floating text as is and specify...

I'm playing through the new version of Legend of Wesmere, and can't help but wonder, where are the Drakes? Aquagar doesn't have an alliance with them anymore it would seem, but with Winds of Fate mainline, the elves are marching right through what by all rights is drakish territory? I guess I...

Time and again a certain question comes up here in the music forum: are there any good free orchestral samples? The answer to that is yes, but finding the gems amongst all the junk is no small task, not to mention that many great freebies have become unavailable over the years. To remedy that,...

I have agreed to draw new portraits for The Dark Hordes, which is being completed by KameRamen.

For now, I am making human portraits for Gwiti and Nati.
This is a thread for criticism and suggestions.

Has anybody else added existing factions from one era into another era? I added four factions to the Ageless Era recently, just for my own play on a local game. I put the four factions into the misc units folder of Ageless Era: Icadon, Toybox, and Undergrowth factions from The Era Of Horrors, and...

This is the main development thread for the mainline campaign Delfador's Memoirs .

I’ve beaten all the 1.18 campaigns on the highest difficulty. Now I’m looking for the biggest possible challenge. The Hardest campaing ever across all versions from 1.14 to 1.19.

I made a tool in the form of a web page that allows you to easily create your own era, factions and custom units, giving a lot of ease when waiting to make you custom faction with the default game sprites.

The tool site is www.wesnothModdingTool.com

It is currently a bit bare bones, it can only...

The project has been tested on The Battle for Wesnoth 1.18.5

The main purpose is a refactoring of the Art of War era ( making it modern, more simple and balanced.

Game style - the add-on is focused on PvP. Campaigns are possible but aren't planned for now.

Greetings!

Can't access multiplayer and add-ons oficcial servers in-game.
That's because in Russia there in a lot of measures taken to separate Russian Inthernet from the whole other world.
We usually use VPN or PROXY, but these things seems to not work for Wesnoth (and i'm so unhappy about...

Hi

While hovering my leader, got weird image with adepts?

wesnoth-bug.png

Wesnoth does not accept AI-generated art, this post is an explanation.

I've wrestled with the issues of AI art and what the official Wesnoth policy should be. My basic thinking hasn't changed much from The AI performance has improved since then (sort of ), but the general landscape hasn't changed...

I dont see it available in the link...

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.

Hello !

My story on why I'm getting back to wesnoth after more than 10 years begins with a snarky remark from my best friend.
