The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

why do you briefly (less than 1s?) show me an anime girl when I enter this website

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...

It wastes a lot of time, and sometimes causes game to freeze... I don't understand why didn't you just disable this feature in this version, if it doesn't work properly anyway?

This is the main development thread for the mainline campaign Delfador's Memoirs .

Hello,

I think that even if my view is locked, that the camera would still scroll to the following:

Available source literature does not mention possibility of using force_scroll=no . I don't suppose this is intentional?

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...

AI sometimes makes idiotic moves which can be frustrating, and even without those exceptionally stupid moves the AI is still extremely bad and doesn't know how to play afterlife.

So... What if someone made afterlife where players can control their copies instead of AI doing it? Did anything like...

Hi, I need to double check something with you. I am just writing a Lurker Micro AI that takes around 70 lines and my brain starts tripping.

If I want to say only approach this unit if it is alone, i.e., has no buddies in the radius of 5 , would that be correct? Or would it catch the approached...

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.

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...

Hi,
To make certain bits of transient information more visible to the player I'm using a label which shortly after is removed and replaced by floating text.
This works fine except matching font sizes is fiddly; by trial and error the best way seems to be to leave the floating text as is and specify...

I'm playing through the new version of Legend of Wesmere, and can't help but wonder, where are the Drakes? Aquagar doesn't have an alliance with them anymore it would seem, but with Winds of Fate mainline, the elves are marching right through what by all rights is drakish territory? I guess I...

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,...
