#from the comments

wouldn't it be more convenient to call current (1.16.x) or next (1.18.x) release series version 2.0 (2.0.x)?

compared to Wesnoth 1.14.x, Wesnoth 1.16.x has plenty of changes which are not backward-compatible:
1) switches from 32-bit binaries to 64-bit ones
2) drops support for windows XP (I guess...

Hello! I created my first campaign on Battle for Wesnoth and I was following all the instructions on posting it on the add-ons list, but it doesn't work because when I agree to the guidelines it disconnects from the add-ons server (it says Error - Remote host disconnected).
I use Windows 10 and...

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...

No thread for this fantastic map pack so I post here.

I've had this one for ages and while it is very well done I've found a few little things in that time. I have forgotten the older ones but I just came across one that I thought I'd mention.

The log shows that Lakeland has wrong side numbers....

seems to be very few things that 'tries' to make the ui better or does new or interesting things, tested one of them so far

for all of the addons that changes or updates the ui ('themes'), what code language do each of them use so can see whats needed to learn

one of them is 'combat info theme'...

this thread is mostly mainly about the whole addon problem

was talking with a player who wanted to make maps for different things

and related to making maps, was wondering what exactly 'multihex scenery technique' was

ref:

assuming it just means putting graphics/images into each hex so they show a picture

if 'multihex scenery technique' means more...

this thread is to document which creative ideas from players have been completed

different players put creative ideas in all different places online - if there was a central place (like one of those creative 'ideas/feedback sites' that different software and app companies and startups use to get...

Hello, everyone.

If you’ve lurked in the Art Workshop forums lately, you’ll notice I’ve been working on a new faction.

Ironically, this seems to be badly timed, as I had no clue there was currently work being done revise the dunefolk and their lore.

This faction exist in the far eastern...

I've been sketching drakes for a while now and recently decided I'd clean and ink one of those sketches. Here's the result : a drake arbiter that will likely serve as an alternate to whatever TSI comes up with when he gets back to drakes.

Greetings! My name is Inferno8, and I'm thrilled to introduce you to my add-on - Era of Magic (EoMa). Since 2007, I've been working tirelessly to create an immersive and visually stunning addition to Battle for Wesnoth. With over 8 playable factions boasting more than 290 fully animated units, EoMa...

Hi! Some may have already seen me on this forum. Putting aside the idea of using in redrawing loyalist (I draw well enough, what would qualify for mainline) I started to draw a faction of dark elves. I know I'm not the first, not I last, but not the one proposed in the Addons factions of drow I...

Hi,

I've been thinking about the statistical measure in Wesnoth that displays actual damage VS expected damage overall (taken and delivered). Generally, this is a good measure - however if it were used for a real statistical study of some kind (not being SUPER serious on that, but emphasizing the...

sometimes the map keeps scrolling in a certain direction, continuously so that its stuck on the edge of the map

does it by itself randomly

seems like some kinda old bug that has never been fixed

players have said that sometimes can...

and how that code is put together in a page/essay to form a unit

looked at some of the wml stuff on this site's wiki but they dont have any examples and don't understand any of it yet

its easier to understand with specific...

having a highlight around the active units makes it much more clear which units are the currently active unit (like how you see it in other games)

can wml do this, what would need to learn to make that?

is wml also able to do something like this to label different units so they're easily visible?...

On 1.16.6, when I have too many eras installed I cannot pick the ones at the bottom, they are visible and clickable, but if i click them it rolls over and selects one of the selectable eras.
