The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Looked into it too, but all solutions have some quirks … Made a symbol image which you could use though. I added it. It looks good, thanks. Another option is to block the terrain by putting a petrified unit onto the hex, or teleporting units which step onto it. Clever! That's one of the fun thing a...

I think you have to include a default_base=Qxu inside the [terrain_type][/terrain_type] Thank you! As it turns out, that was the part I couldn't figure out -- and it wasn't in the code examples I was referencing. The custom terrain works now. The bridge is impassable. I had to make a custom sprite,...

The workaround is making your own new terrain type with impassable and the bridge. I tried to make the custom terrain. The code almost works. In the map editor, I see the plank bridge as my cursor, and I can add it to my map, but it leaves gaps. The Regular Chasm is not under my plank bridge. How d...

Does [whichever WML tag is making these units arrive] have a check_passability attribute? I checked the Wiki, and I think the answer is no. Unless I missed it. It's nothing fancy. On turn 3, a unit appears on the plank bridge and says something, then continues into the cave. [event] name=turn 3 [un...

This is normal. The plank bridge itself is an overlay. You can even place bridges over grassland/chasm/lava (not sure why anyone would do woodenbridge over lava though). The workaround is making your own new terrain type with impassable and the bridge. Oh, okay. Thanks for the info. That hex is the...

If you don't have nightmare, you can simplify this even further: #ifdef EASY type=Naga Warrior #else type=Naga Sicarius #endif I've done that often enough, but I don't like it. My code sometimes becomes hard for me to parse, and changing things after playtesting becomes more difficult. Look at this...

In the map editor, I made a Regular Chasm on hex (1,5) and placed a Plank Bridge in the same hex. I wanted to make the Plank Bridge impassable, so I applied an Impassable Overlay. My problem is this: When I placed the overlay, the bridge vanished, leaving nothing but the chasm. When I played the sce...

Interesting. I probably would've tried to make the slain unit do all the work, not the killing unit. I probably would've used name=die for the slain unit and filtered based on how the unit died. If it died by, say, a side=1 unit, or a certain type of unit, or a certain weapon or whatever, it would d...

I like the shield turning. At a glance, everything looks okay. But if I study it...

Maybe the clothes just above his boots should move up/down less?

What if the guy's head moved, but the shoulder armor did not?

Oh no. That means...we are the liches!

Specifically, the preprocessor is a feature found in the C (and C++) programming language. The Wesnoth preprocessor is very similar in design and syntax to the C/C++ preprocessor. Presumably it was made that way so that C/C++ programmers would find it very familiar and easy to use. Of course, for p...

The Old European cultures which managed to survive the several waves of Indo-European invasions, such as the Etruscans, the Minoans and the Basques, could then be understood as remnants of Wesnothian civilization. Okay, but where are the liches ? Haha, just kidding. Interesting thought experiment. ...

I didn't completely understand what you meant by that, so I've read through the original posts too again, and I must ask: did you perhaps miss the tiny extra "n" in Lord-Knightmare's suggestion? GASP! #ifdef X is an abbreviation for "if [X] is defined" #ifndef X stands for "...

Preprocessor works even with invalid WML, it is general purpose text inclusion, it does not know anything about WML. Preprocessor is comfort feature mostly. All WML can be in _main.cfg removing need for inclusions, and difficulty handling can be done with in game choices and variables. I guess hist...

Oops. It's looking like it's my fault the Ravana's code didn't work as expected. I had another #ifdef EASY and #else (which allowed NORMAL and HARD to happen, not EASY) that I forgot about. See? Those things cause me a headache. EDIT: It's working now. Thank you Ravana and WhiteWolf. I like using di...
