The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

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...

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...

Ageless Era is a compilation of the most popular eras and factions on the add-on server. It is more than an era pack than an era.
The current version of the era is in thread title. It is currently being worked for version 1.18 of Wesnoth.

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...

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...

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...
