I got bored tonight and decided to mess around in Wesnoth. Attached is a macro for the ability unkillable . The description is When this unit would be killed, it is instead petrified until the start of its next turn. Feel free to use it without credit, or to comment on my bad coding style.

No idea where to post this but hopefully whoever is maintaining this reads it. : )

The 1.16 KTV for some reason doesn't spawn all the baddies. Only the Ulfs at start, the friendlies and the skirmishers appear on either easy or hard mode. I replayed my 1.14 version and it works fine.

Admittedly...

Edit: now working OK - something cleared I guess

Hiya,

I've tried several times to connect to the add-ons server using v1.16.1 on Windows 7 (yeah, ancient OS).
My system was recently virus checked and was clean.

Most times I select to filter using the Campaigns drop-down it crashes, when it...

For anyone who may be interested, I have just published a new book. Unlike my previous one, this is a work of non-fiction, specifically comparing the Bible and the Qur'an and arguing that the latter agrees more with the former than most people think. Controversial, I know! Anyhow, here's the link:

Hi everyone! Glad to introduce Hordes of the Other World - a multiplayer campaign, a remake of LotI's scenario Hordes of the Other World split into 5 scenarios. Only 1.14 for now, as there is no stable LotI for 1.16.

The original scenario had an enormous 200x200 map, logically it was separated in...

Welcome fellow Wesnothians! I'm proud to announce that Afterlife Rated has started on 1.16!

Rules are simple: join games hosted by AfterBot, they will be Afterlife Rated #... , play, win. After you win, whisper to the bot that you won. Get higher rating and climb the leaderboard!

Quick info on...

Just found out an interesting tid bit. The icon used for a campaign in the selection menu can hide a laurel wreath completely if it covers the whole area available since the wreath is displayed behind the icon.

Mostly people use unit icons which are small enough that the laurel shows up so this is...

Hi,

There might be a bug with when it gets called from inside name=time over

I got the following on 1.16.1. I didn't get this error on 1.14 as far as I know.

Edit: I opened a github issue for it. forget this thread

Hello everyone. In my spare time, I made a multiplayer scenario for 1.16. You and another commander have recently been tasked with ruling a town. However, as you approach you hear rumors of a mysterious plague ravaging the countryside, as well as unusually frequent raids. Your job is to defend the...

So I will eventually finally get to start on a campaign.

Wesnoth comes with many abilities and I am fine with not adding more of these so that newcomers aren't too overwhelmed. But for some scenarios I may need more streamlined abilities rather than coming up with my own from the get go.

For...

In the Sceptre of fire campaign 's first map, Bargain Is Struck , a unit can pick up a rune, but if than stand in the water, the upper right corner of the rune is flickering. It mostly occured in the water, but on some land tiles the upper right corner was also cut off (but not flickering).

With the new 1.16 stable series having been released, and 1.12 now being nearly 7 years old, it will soon be time for the 1.12 versions of the official multiplayer server and add-ons server to be turned off. This will be done on November 21st, two weeks from today (November 7th). At that point it...

As of October 24, The Battle for Wesnoth for iOS is now permanently available for free on the Apple App Store.

We made the decision to make the game available for free on iOS after facing various technical difficulties keeping the game updated on that platform resulting from changes made during...

Hi there!

With the release of Wesnoth 1.16 Release Candidate 1 (1.15.18), all previous development versions in the 1.15.x series are no longer supported, and the add-ons server instance that serves all 1.16 betas, release candidates and gold releases has been active and running for quite a while...

With the upcoming release of 1.16 on October 24th, Steam players who are on the default branch (aka what you're using if you haven't chosen 1.15.x in the Betas) as well as itch.io players who are on the Stable channel will be automatically upgraded from 1.14.17 to 1.16.0. While 1.16 will have...

Recently I played some dwarf campaign, I forgot the name (I am soooo bad with names).

Some units lacked descriptions. Here I was thinking ... what if you could click a link, and then
be redirected to a wiki, where people can just freely add (mostly) if they have a forum account
here?

That...

When working on animation-filled cutscene-style scenario with Hejnewar, we decided to use DiD code that skips animations etc when dialogs are skipped. However, the code not only didn't work well with current development version, but also didn't cover our needs, as we used tag a lot and sometimes...

A call for help
For essentially the past year I have been developing my 19th century fantasy era, the Era of Empires or EoE for short.
But I have now discovered that at the pace I am working I won't be able to get it done at all. So I am asking for any volunteers to help me with my era. It will...
