In 2026, the legendary The Bee's Journey campaign returns with a rebirth!

TBJ, my first project in Wesnoth, has been stagnant for a long time due to the author's and other projects' circumstances. I have now decided to fully resume development and undertake a thorough remake to...

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.

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have very little experience, so I first attempted to follow this tutorial from 2013 , but all of the dependencies were outdated.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.
“ 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...

I've expanded and modified the Wesnoth map from Conquest 3.4 for use in ordinary multiplayer games. I'm not sure how well balanced it is, but see what you think!

EDIT: Here's a new version of the map. I have made many adjustments, some for balancing reasons and some to make it a better copy of the...

Hi Everyone,

Flags of Wesnoth is an original orchestral soundtrack composed for The Battle for Wesnoth main menu.
Blending moments of rising battle tension with passages of peace and harmony, the piece reflects both the struggles of war and the enduring spirit of the kingdoms of Wesnoth....

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,...

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...

Hello,
I noticed that there’s only a Campaign game mode available, and I can’t find an option to choose a different faction from the one set for the campaign.

If I want to play as the Northerners, Dunefolk, or Drakes, what steps should I take? Do I need to download an add-on, or is there another...

Vyncyn Rashy Era is on the wesnoth 1.18 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)

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...

I have this scenario where I made the ai side persistent because I want the leader to reappear in the next scenario if she gets away or survives.

If the scenario ends and this event has NOT triggered , and the side 2 leader has NOT died. She appears just fine in the next scenario.

If that event...

Hello, I am inferno8 and some of you may know me as the creator of the Era of Magic.

Hello everyone,

I'm having connection issues with both the official server and addon server in version 1.18.x/1.19.x

When I try to connect to add-on server, the game gets stuck on a pop-up window “Downloading list of add-ons...”. The progress bar is frozen at 8 KiB.

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?

I have been messing around with wesnoth save files. I just wrote a program that edits wesnoth save files in order to give all units that meet a certain criteria a goto x and y coordinate in order to automate the process of setting these movements. (For context I am playing a game with over 1000...

I'm new to the forums, but have played Wesnoth for a few years, and decided to take a crack at making my own campaign. I am entirely self-taught on coding via Wesnoth, so I'm not doing any fancy coding, but have tried to adapt code from mostly mainline campaigns and The Final Exam to create my...
