The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Hello, I am inferno8 and this thread is about my era. The Era of Magic has been in development since 2007 and at the moment contains 8 playable factions with fully animated units (243 total) and tons of special effects. The aim of the EoMa is to make the most visually appealing and nice to play UMC...

Instead of automatically advancing as soon as the unit has a certain amount of experience, the player can make it more powerful by purchasing it some upgrades using its experience points as currency. I know XP Modification, but it’s way too simple and unbalanced in my opinion. It can’t replace the...

this is feedback/changelog thread for Altered era/ruleset

this era is an attempt to redesign, rebalance and re-flavor BfW's multiplayer factions according to author's taste (seven races/factions are altered so far).
it also adds some custom rules to make late games on big maps more challenging...

wesnoth 1.16.x does not allow using UI themes added by UMCs (user-made content, also known as add-ons ) while playing mainline campaigns
(EDIT: also applies to user-made campaigns except campaigns included in same UMC as UI theme)
(EDIT#2: UI themes installed as can be used with any campaigns BUT...

Hi and welcome to The League of Glory! The 1v1 Tournament like no other!

Due to the realitive calmness of the servers at this time we have decided to shake things up by organising a tournament. The tradition of the annually hosted 1v1 tournament must go on. 1v1 is one of the core pillars of...

After decades of seeking, finally a huge part of Argan's Journey has been found in parts of Elynia Diaries. Although many historians have suspected about the liability of the Journal, others insisted to publish it
A huge re-work have been made in just one month (between April and May 2022).
For...

In this thread I share my art - for the most part - portaits and concepts for GSE aka The Great Steppe Era ( for the purposes of critique, feedback and improvement.
Unfortunately, I am lousy at technical stuff, as a result - my first two portraits (witch and vampire) were not originally in 400x400...

So the Imperial Era (complete with a full cast of Roman Lavinian legionaires, gladiator Orc(e)s, Issaelfr frost elves, mysterious mainline Cavernei dwarves, barbarian Marauders, Dark Sidhe elves and also some Arendians) is back for 1.9 and getting ready for 1.10 (it's on the 1.9 add-on server right...

This topic is for the campaign Bad Moon Rising , BfW 1.16 edition. Earlier BfW editions are no longer being developed or supported.

Note: This add-on is now on GitHub:
The supporting add-ons Archaic_Era and Archaic_Resources are also on GitHub

This is a campaign centered on...

Because of this topic, I have an impression that some players want to be capable to take veterans from one campaign and start another campaign with them. I think that it's quite a wacky opinion considering the balance problems it would cause, but let's allow the kids to have fun. I've coded it and...

Hi all!

I'm a human-computer interaction researcher looking into the expectations that players have of AI in strategy games, among a few other things. One of the things I'm looking into is suspense/tension, and for that purpose I've made a scenario to play through, and a questionnaire to fill out...

Okay folks, you've persuaded me to come out of retirement and try to finish the campaign that so many of you have been crying out for.

I'm currently playing through the campaign to reach the last scenario out of the ones written. I have made the odd tweak where something was obviously wrong and/or...

Hi! I found in man wesnoth that there is --unsafe-scripts option. It says --unsafe-scripts makes the package package available to lua scripts, so that they can load arbitrary packages.

Can somebody guide me what exactly it unlocks and how would be possible to use, let's say, file io if this is...

Is it possible to have a tag conditional of an option.
this is my nested in an tag.

Am I using the tag incorrectly or is this not possible the way I'm trying it?
All of this is in a top level tag.

Hi,
I'm (still :doh:) developing a new campaign and have a query regarding the following warning that appears multiple times in the logfile.

error deprecation: unit.side has been deprecated and will be removed in version 1.17.0.; This returns 0 for side 1 etc and should not be used. Use...

The Thelien Attack

It is said the Elvish Invasion of the Far North had been crushed by the might of Great Chief Kapou’e, Son of the Black-Eye. Little known was the part played by the Saurians of the Black Marshes. This is their yarn, perhaps the most significant in the downfall of the last of...

I created a new add-on based on Ravana's XP Modification ( It provides a right-click menu that allows you to spend unit experience for upgrades. The costs in XP can be changed during game creation.

It also adds a Noob upgrade option that provides 100 hitpoints, 10 movement and 2 strikes for a...

Hello everyone! I'm proud to introduce a new extremely experimental add-on, LotI RPG Era.

The era consists of all units with AMLAs from Legend of the Invincibles campaign. Also I added several more units and LotI style advancements for them, more units coming.

The era consists of 5 leagues, I...

So I'm using the Scenario Editor in game (not gonna try WML until I have JS down), and when I right click a unit, there's an option in the popup menu to make them loyal, but when I click it, nothing happens. No error message, no crash, no popup, but it just doesn't work. The unit doesn't turn...

Hi there!

Working on wesnoth-lib/it.po for transtation, I found a ... strange reference

line 2805 reports an unusual enemey_gold_factor : my guess is a typo in one of the 2 scenarios, 2p_Dark_Forecast.cfg or 2p_Isle_of_Mists.cfg

File came from latest git dev branch, probably stable branch is...

After having played with saves quite a bit, I am still surprised by the lack of support for selecting saves from sub-directories.

There are two file explorers in wesnoth: the load save dialog (SP, MP) and the map editor file dialog (load, save). They do quite different things.

The load save...

Will there be plans for the Nightblade and what not to have their own portraits?

Hello everyone!

I am back with a new campaign Birth of a Lich , which features some characters who appear in mainline campaigns, but are either regarded as villains (one of them really is, no second thoughts about that) or are considered too insignificant to be given importance.

The hero of this...

I wonder about this topic. Coz I found some MP players said that they are distracted by music, so they always turn it off, when I can play with in-game game or with another music, for me it on contrary can create the scene (although I can play with no music too). So, what are your thoughts?

So ... this thread or the topic is a little bit chaotic. I'll explain it in a moment, but I think it is best
to explain the CONTEXT first.

I have been on and off in regards to wesnoth; I think I was inactive for several years too. Anyway.

Many wesnoth folks, in particular the older ones, probably...
