I will be using a Swiss Magic: The Gathering style tournament structure. That means a certain number of rounds based...

It's a map for 2 players in. You have to reach with your leaders point on north or wait for death of other human side. Amount of heroes at start for each human side depends of picked difficulty level at game start.

It's available at Wesnoth v1.18.

When working on complex Wesnoth scenarios, performance can become a major issue. What are the best practices for writing efficient WML code? Are there any common pitfalls to avoid?

My eyesight isn't that great, and I hate having to squint to read the story line, even with a 24-inch screen. If I skip over it, I might miss an important hint. Is it possible to add an option in Display Preferences to allow larger fonts?

This would affect the intro story line, in-scenario text,...

Well, having played Wesnoth since September, I decided to have a go at coding something, so I made this campaign, titled 'A Vision Blinded.' I began coding on Wesnoth v1.4.6 but continued on v1.4.7 so this should (hopefully) work for the v1.4.x branch.

I've worked on it alone for hmm... less that...

Hello guys,

This modification changes the skin/scale/armour colors of recruits.
It tries to modify the colors in a natural way.
If a option is turned on, the units get the opportunity to change to unique rare morph colors.

Ready Races/Units:
all saurians + UMCs
all drakes except UMCs
Loyalist...

I'd like to experiment with writing a Lua stage that would completely replace the RCA AI recruiting routing (AI_CA_RECRUITMENT). Are there any examples out there of completely or partially overriding AI_CA_RECRUITMENT with Lua? I think I just need a template and then I'd be ready to go.

Thanks!

Hello, dear Wesnothers!
It’s me again, opening a thread in this section one last time as I embark on what is likely my final campaign.
This is the sequel to Return from the Abyss . To be honest, RftA was originally meant to be a quick prequel to this one ( :lol: ). Every now and then, I dusted off...

How to make AI in WML understand that some hex on map reached with his leader can give it a win in scenario that is playing by AI. I have a x,y point on map that is important for player side. Human will understand after info at the scenario start and label on map but how make it understand by AI?...

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...

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.
“ Why are you trying to use photoshop on windows when you could use an open source equivalent on linux ?  ”
“  I don't know , I replied. Why are you play a proprietary...

Hello. Ive a trouble with changing side control in game cause it takes too small time for ai to end, to click it to undroid side. I dont know in which Wesnoth version you set it to unallow changing side control during other sides turn but I want you to change it back. To be able to undroid side...

HOW WESNOTH WORKS TO ME !!!

FANTASY, ARCANE & RESISTANCES

Arcane isn't simply a Resistance to me is the backbone of this Fantasy. It represents a SUPERNATURAL (Elves or Trolls) and/or UNNATURAL Creature (Undeads), which implies having NATURAL Beings (Animals/Humans/Orcs), each of this can be...

ARRPGA is an add-on with two modes of gameplay.
The first gameplay mode is a single RPG scenario, known Classic (AI DM), which pits a party of heroes controlled by a maximium of 4 players against an AI-controlled Dungeon Master who plays enemies and NPCs. This mode of gameplay features premade...

Hi, all. I'm rather new to the forums and this is my first post (though I have been lurking for a while), so please bear with me if I'm not very knowledgeable on the workings of the forums. :) (I have read the Guidelines and such, but that can only do you so much when you first join a community,...

For now, it's just a concept era that intends to mix both old school and new generations factional designs. But basically based more in dark/classic fantasy as of many games in 90's (as heroes of might and magic III or age of wonders) but taking a lot of inspiration from very old MP eras as...

Doofus has been working on some beautiful new ships, fully-animated and with gorgeous float/stand animations.

Our existing core ships are more-or-less fake units, not really designed to be used outside of cutscenes. I'd like these new ships to be actual units - this is a public place to discuss...

I would like to say that updating addons doesnt work, Wesnoth v1.18.3. It shows downloading window but it doesnt fill up with passing time. There is work around for this bug and its to delete addon and download it then, new version.

No thread so I post here.

Nifty stuff, even the trees have reflections!

Some tiny quibbles: Would have been cool if the reflections vanish at night. Star and moonlight reflections? Well maybe. Wesnoth doesn't account for the phases of the moon. Well there's an idea for another addon : ) The other...

On Wesnoth 1.10 you may find WOTG v2.5.1 (was quite long not updated), soon I should upload newest version 2.5.2, in last 3 days I checked & changed 5/6 of all units (they will be less op) in WOTG which is quite a lot. As for now you had here:
