The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Hello,

I have just spawned some Tentacles of the Deep on tiles that contain both swamp and the forest.

Tentacles can't move on forest, but can move on swamp. I'd expect those tiles would be accessible, but no. 0% defence, can't move around.

Was this intended?

Sincerely,
MB

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...

Hi,
If I add/remove overlays with an object_id recent changes to abilities are reversed or lost (e.g. deleted abilities are reinstated). :annoyed:

I appreciate this is documented in :

Everything works fine with and without object_id .

However I would prefer to get the version working because...

Hello,

When I define an unit variation, I know how to modify it. But how can I remove it? Can that be done easily, by first picking the original unit that the variation is based on and then adding lines just to remove features entirely?

In particular - I would like to make (i) Peasant that...

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...

Hello,
I'm developing a random map generator for my campaign. It's currently over 3000 lines of Lua code and probably not a very well-optimized at that. As I try to add a new feature to it. I'm going into the situation, where Wesnoth hangs on map generation. The window stops refreshing. When I call...

I am making an era, I have finished one of the factions, what do you guys think of the sprite art?

Giant maps by ChaosRider.

Well, its this time of the year and again and I decided to make another Advent Calendar. Its the fourth, because I did not find time last year.
As last time I will be drawing small animal and monster pictures. The first one will be a cheap frank ;), but I will try to increase quality.

As I can't...

I need help with this matchup.

My current understanding is that if Knalga does not get something done during the first night, the daytime assault by a full strength loyalist army will most of the time be devastating, regardless of defensive terrain. However, dwarf units are too slow to generate...

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.

Hello,

I am currently trying to animate two units at once during a cutscene. However, I need one of the units to start animating a second later, as opposed to both units starting the animation at the same time, thereby desynchronising them.

I started by the following code, which makes them...

Hi!

I want to have friendly dwarf miners convert to your side when you move next to one. But I have the problem to access the id from the unit I moved next to. Here's the code I have used:

Triggering the event itself works fine, but storing and searching for the adjacent unit does work, because...
