I've started making a skeletal dragon portrait, hopefully it will be good enough for the mainline. I've made this to show everyone what I'm doing, this is what I've done so far. It's just the outline currently but I will finish it, probably not soon though but depending on how much time i put into...

;) I'm just being silly, bit I've noticed how much attention is given to female Elves in fantasy games and wondering about other races.
In most fantasy games and litereature there are Half-Orcs, meaning it is possible for Orcs to breed with Humans.
Yet as we have seen in the other thread, Orcs and...

Hi,
just spent quite some time nailing down a bit of weirdness.
I was puzzled why a was not highlighting the unit doing the speaking even though I explicity set highlight=yes and scroll=yes .

( Very ) long story short: the ( side 1 ) speaker speaks inside a side 2 moveto (i.e. when a side 2 unit...

Hi,
Recently stumbled across posts asking if the turn time limit in multiplayer could be implemented/ported to single player campaigns.
I've never used it and assume it simply ends the current player's turn with extreme prejudice?
If not, please enlighten me.

I did not see any replies stating...

This thread from the Orc logistics guy clearly explains why a gold coin of almost any size was such an absurdly large unit of currency as to be basically useless and as such ancient and medieval society didn't use them for wages or expenses (except absurdly high ones), but rather used silver.

I...

I had the idea of creating a Parliamentary Election in Wesnoth, as I was curious what it would be like.

The year is 519 YW. In the aftermath of the Wesnothian Civil War, fought bitterly in the two preceding years, Asheviere’s reign of terror over Wesnoth ended. The brutal tactics she used to...

It's the mod that removes the evasion rate, can it be added to the official settings in the future?

Vyncyn Rashy Era is on the wesnoth 1.16 addon-server. It contains 15 factions with mostly selfmade art.
There are 3 different eras: default (contains 9 factions), default extended (15 factions but less balanced) and AoH (15 factions + 1 fun Assassin faction, lvl3 leaders and lvl2 recruitables)
Some...

Hello, I am inferno8 and this thread is about my era. Era of Magic has been in development since 2007 and at the moment contains 8 playable factions with fully animated units (more than 280!) and tons of special effects. The aim of EoMa is to make the most visually appealing and nice to play UMC...

I want to present an order list of items inside an block, with the numbers right justified and space-padded. Unable to find a sprintf in wml, I went with lua for that (and it works, I just mention it because I wonder if I missed something.

I want this (assuming it shows up right in your browser,...

As you may already know, the Wyvern Rider lacks any kind of unit description in mainline Wesnoth. This post is made to discuss the Wyvern Rider unit description to reach a concensus which can hopefully be added to the game. Currently I have proposed this unit description at

To the Dunefolk, the...

This is the feedback forum for the Legend of the Invincibles singleplayer campaign. If you have played the campaign and have any comments regarding it (bugs, difficulty), feel free to post about it here, I am interested in reading it, even if it is a petty thing. Because of the size of the...

A feedback thread for LotI-adaptation of The Great Quest, ported for 1.16.

Each time a translatable string is changed in mainline content (code for UI or WML/lua for content) the corresponding translations in all languages become fuzzy . It highlights that people needs to check the translation again to see if it is valid.
It is up to the translation team to remove the...

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...

Rise of the Elementalist trilogy now available on the addons.wesnoth.org website. Now Wesnoth 1.12 compatible.

The campaigns are fully developed and AFAIK, bug free, having tested it a significant amount before I uploaded them. The campaigns consist of units of a new race (elementals) that have...

Hello. I'm sorry for a rather trivial question, but testing it with my current setup is particularly troublesome.

I am trying to write an trigger, which triggers when there are zero units in the designated area.

I tried with , however it does not work:

How to write it correctly? Could work...

Each time side 1 captures a village, I want to count how many villages side 1 currently has. I can't keep a running total myself, because I won't get events when side 1's villages are recaptured by other sides. So, the idea is to store locations based on the terrain type *^V* , count the hexes that...

According to wiki, new input should replace the previous one. It did not work on my case. Could you please help me understand how it works? Is is possible to retract the without this facet/path thing?

The initial setup:

Later in the scenario:

It doesn't seem to work, i.e., units are still...

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...

Hello community. I am searching for some skeleton sprites, skeleton sprites with different weapons than the usual axe or bow.
- Skeleton Spearman
- Skeleton Swordsman
- Skeleton Fencer
and what other weaponry you can think of.
Can you point me an era or a campaign where I can find such sprites?

Dwarves are in this year. I'm quite sure about that. It can't be pirates, again! I mean it's pirates who/which/whatever are in every year!
Dwarf Dwarfson Dwarvenminer is a little mini-game a made last year in round about 24 hours. I described the development and parts of it in this thread:

So...

I guess this is more or less the right place to point this out?

Built 1.17.16 on U22.04. The wmlindent in /usr/local/bin fails, while the one in /usr/local/share works. They sure look like the same thing. I assume it has something to do with a path for python to find the right modules(?), and it's...

This is my fifth add-on, Gui Debug Tools.
It is written completely in Lua.
Current version is 0.10.2or the Wesnoth Repository Master Branch / 1.16 series.
First released for BfW 1.13.5.

I have found the tools in this add-on useful in making bug reports and developing add-ons.

It is mostly based...

The beginning of feedback.

I noticed many unit descriptions mention the faerie, like here in the description for elves:

… their magic has some strong connection to the faerie …

What are the faerie? Is it simply a magical force, or something else? Are they a race, as in AtS and IftU? If so, what do they look like? If it is...

Hello,

Is there an easy way to make it so that when I finish a Campaign, I can start another Campaign automatically and recall all the units I recruited in the previous Campaigns?

NOTE: I am not talking about individual scenarios.
