I can't remember the campaign but can remember one of the scenarios: in a swamp, fighting against mermen, meet a Saurian and his Queen has been taken captive. You have to free the Saurian Queen and a certain number of prisoners and get back to basecamp or kill all the bosses. You enter the dungeons...

I made a tool in the form of a web page that allows you to easily create your own era, factions and custom units, giving a lot of ease when waiting to make you custom faction with the default game sprites.

The tool site is www.wesnothModdingTool.com

It is currently a bit bare bones, it can only...

Hi

While hovering my leader, got weird image with adepts?

Wesnoth does not accept AI-generated art, this post is an explanation.

I've wrestled with the issues of AI art and what the official Wesnoth policy should be. My basic thinking hasn't changed much from The AI performance has improved since then (sort of ), but the general landscape hasn't changed...

Hi there,

Just for fun, I've been profiling and patching Wesnoth (1.18 code base). The overall effect is >2x speedup with plenty of future potential. There was no single you-done-goofed hotspot, so I ended up with ~100 small to large-scale changes. Areas touched include

map drawing logic...

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...

Hello, I am compiling Wesnoth 1.18.5 for Ubuntu and ran into some problems. I have very little experience, so I first attempted to follow this tutorial from 2013 , but all of the dependencies were outdated. I searched how to do all of the things, got a concise summary from AI, and installed all of...

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,...

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...
