The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Development thread for A War of Fools.

Recently I was creatively inspired while playing some UMC campaigns and decided to make my own. I am a complete beginner with WML and map design, Im not a good writer either and english is not my native language. But after 5 days of work I managed to get 2...

Could there be a situation where a skilled player wants to reduce his or her unit's hitpoints to encourage AI-controlled enemies to move towards it and/or attack it?

I finally started to dwell into the WML stuff and successfully created a _main.cfg and a first scenario file which worked fine for some time until I tried to make an moveto event which killed my file. Now I can´t find where to locate the is missing name or id field.
It worked before, but it seems I...

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...

Is there a way to hide the energy bars, XP, orbs and overlays, the same way this WML code does?
To be able to apply it more generally in more situations with lua, not only on with_bars=no , which is the only way in all WML that I can do that.

This is an update to the multiplayer scenario King of the Hill aimed at replacing the existing mainline version for the BfW 1.18 release.

The premise of this scenario has always been for players to fight over the central castle (the hill). Yet the scenario gave no perks to combat the downsides of...

Legends about a mysterious warlock who created a powerful artifact roam the lands. An artifact powerful enough to break the frontier between the world of the living and the dead. Many treasure hunters, adventurers, paladins, knights or even foul sorcerers tried to get their hand on this artifact,...

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...

It's been a while but it's finally here - the first, version of Beyond Southern Hells era. Availible for both 1.8.5 and 1.9.4..though may not work as well at 1.8 in case I miss fixing some coding differences.

Far south beyond the wesnothian gaze thrive civilisations unheard of. Will you seek...

I was toying with the idea of making a unit that kinda petrifies. I'm working on a faction of snow monsters called snowgolems. I have seven types so far, all level 1 and with sprites. I was thinking it might be cool to add an eighth type that freezes an enemy unit solid. Petrified only means one...

Hello everyone,

This is the feedback thread for my little campaign In Defense of Kharos where we see the beginning of the Tharis invasion of Kharos on their eastern border. I really liked TLU and EoMa as an era especially. I always love to replay this campaign, but for now its the only campaign...

This is the tale of a young mage Clare and her path to power. It starts in the Northlands during The Age of Fear. Most of its scenarios take place in the...

Hello, Is it normal that nested loops (especially of the same type, within and within ) hugely decrease perfomance, to the point of being pretty much unusuable, or am I doing something wrong?

Hello, I'm gonna write about the Wesnoth wiki, since I feel that I am the only one who's updating it - the latest topic being Northern Rebirth dialogue - while almost all the other users activities last in early 2010s.
Can someone else help updating BfW wiki to the present day?

Playing on a new Android tablet, why does the mouse pointer not line up with your finger, instead of just using the whole screen like a super sized track pad?
Can it be changed to how the apple os works. Where my finger is is the pointer.

Do we have any statistics to know how many people were active, or are active now,
with a focus on art? Here I refer to graphics/images mostly, but we can extend this
to ALL art in general, including creativity/storytelling.

I don't need the specific dataset as such, just roughly to see a trend....
