The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Allow me to present the start of the Before You Play series. This is a series of articles that gives you information about what you should expect mechanically and strategically before beginning a Wesnoth Campaign, without spoiling everything and without getting too specific about what you should...

Hey all,
I can't get MinGW64 to compile Wesnoth because the command can't find the SDL2 Library. I am running this command:

Following is the output about not being able to find SDL

I have installed all of the dependencies via this command:

which I have copied from this helpful Guide...

Return to Wesnoth luck.png
At this point in my first game back, I'm supposed to have dealt more than double the damage I've taken; but I've taken more damage than I've dealt instead. :lol:

I am taking a level from my previous 2D game, and trying to turn it into a 2.5D graphics level.

The things I have done, is taking the simple sprites of the level, and give them normal maps, specular maps, lighting, and to the puddle also reflection.

I have also made them pop out by deforming the...

Feedback/bug report thread for Kal-Karthan Purification Force, a THoT-spoiling faction composed of

If you have any requests or comments regarding this add-on, just post them here.

Back in 2015, a dire warning went out about the state of Wesnoth's development - the entire Wesnoth project was in danger of slowing to a halt; the ship is sinking .

Fast forward to now, and I'm glad I'm able to say that the situation is no longer quite so dire. The project's internal structure...

Hi,

There a weird bug when applying overlays in 1.14.

Add an overlay image to some unit using apply_to=overlay . If you check the unit in debug :inspect, the overlays= field will show the image file twice.
For every subsequent non-overlay object given to the unit, the image overlay gets...

The generation of unit names using context-free grammar in BFW1.14 is pretty clear :
using male_name_generator/female_name_generator works (see drakes)
using name_generator doesn't (see saurians)

Given this statement is questioned repeatedly by developers, it appears that this is potentially...

Hello!

Playing Wesnoth 1.14.17
FULL info generated by Wesnoth in info.txt file attached.

I observed that the unit big images displayed when you want to recruit units (Recruit Unit window) are pixelized.
However if you open the Wesnoth...

One of Fate of a Princess' charms, IMO, is the way the SkyOne found new uses for existing aspects of the game.
To quote myself -
For example, a shaman healing animation is reused without its halo as a child jumping for joy, which is rather cute.
The berserker laugh is used as just a laugh, in a...

Hello.
As an orcs' fan and PVP's coward, here I share my SotBE(Difficult) replays with you. :)
Version:1.14.X

There's scenario 1,3-11. As of the rest, they seem exhausting. Though I have finished all scenarios under difficulty “Challenging”, I don't want to play the rest of “Difficult” for now....

I recently uploaded my add-on Corpse Mod 2 and made custom images for many units, where they are dead, but I didn't really manage to do a good frame for the horse units from the Rebels faction. I've tried, as you can see:

But looking at this, I know it's terrible. Maybe someone better at doing...

A somewhat belated (sorry!) update for iOS is in progress.

I'm working on a couple of known bugs:

* When opening Add-Ons screen, if a certain (unknown) add-on is installed, the game crashes.
Known to reproduce on iPad Air 2, maybe on other hardware too. A workaround is to reinstall the game. Save...

Hi gents,
while reviewing italian translation of SoF campaign (dev branch), between the other untranslated strings I found the description of the various dwarf stash, for example this one:

Greetings,

Unless it's fixed before this was presented, the problem affects statistics for Battle for Wesnoth versions 1.12 and above, including developemental builds.

Hi,

There are 2 new ideas and a change from WC II.

The first idea is to limit the recruitment/recall of one type of unit to avoid spamming units. Example, at scenario 1, the max is 2 units. So you play loyalists and you recruit 2 spearmen : A and B. You cannot recruit another spearman. During the...

Hi there!

Wesnoth is a complex turn-based strategy game. This complexity leads to single games that can last hours (or tens of hours) with a lot of back and forth. Overly long games can make the game harder to get into for new players. One of the complexities of the game is hidden information, in this case,...
