My only amendment to that code is that id="Grizz_replacement" should probably just be id="Grizz" . Otherwise, it'll be really inconvenient to reference that unit from later events. What I did was make the replacement unit of Grizz his sister, Grizzil. If Grizz is dead, she steps...

if you use 1.15.7 then you could make an alert abilities without customi backstab... the divide by 2 applied to opponent cancel the multiply=2 of backstab without use a customised backstab or [event] The code works great... except for one tiny little thing . In the Attack Enemy window, the word &qu...

Yes, that's an alternative solution, but as you guessed here, it would impose severe limitations regarding future expansions to your race. I decided to go with your solution, for that reason. I playtested the code and it works great. Thanks again! I put the code in a macro, so it's just one little ...

Directly in the [race] tag, I don't think so. This could be a useful future addition to WML maybe. I think it would be a nice addition to WML. That way, if a designer wanted a totally different kind of name for, say, Dwarvish Thunderers, they could do it, no problem. In the meantime, it's fairly ea...

I figured-out how to give custom random names to my custom races. Here is the problem... One particular race is actually composed of two different types of creatures: ones that fly and ones that don't. I would like the names within each group to be unique to that group. Is there a way to designate a...

Basically, my point is that such a hybrid system (some button clicking, some typing) would make sense. You'd have to have some vague idea what you were doing, but the available keys are shown from some sort of template and it should be enough guidance for most people. RPG Maker does this sort of th...

if you use 1.15.7 then you could make an alert abilities without customi backstab... A brand new feature? Cool! I'm using 1.15.8 because I like brand new features. Thank you. Early on, I had tried to think of a way to counteract the doubling of damage through division, but my limited knowledge of W...

The most common convention I've seen (and the one I use is): Major.Minor.Patch ... Thanks, WhiteWolf, that was extremely helpful. I might start with 0.8, anticipating a few mistakes that were overlooked, then wait a little while, correct the mistakes, and upload 1.0. I'm interested how your campaig...

This was just posted with the latest update to BfW. Add-on version check when uploading Additionally, in an effort to help avoid potential issues, when uploading an add-on you've created to the official add-ons server you must now always increment the add-on's version. Attempting to upload an existi...

I think you may have misunderstood this. The real reason you don't see this_item a lot is that it is only used inside [foreach] loops, and they aren't that common. You have been trying to use it in other contexts where it simply doesn't exist. Oh! You are correct. I assumed $this_item could be used...

VLC plays ogg just fine. I just tried VLC. It works well except for one thing. Before some tracks play, VLC makes a loud sound, like a pop in a microphone, for a fraction of a second. I checked the tracks in Audacity and there are no defects in the track, so it must be VLC. Not every track makes th...

You would need to add the music pack add-on's [binary_path] to your add-on's _main.cfg, then after that using it is the same as using mainline music. You'd also want to add the music pack add-on as a dependency in your _server.pbl. Alternatively, you could take just the tracks you want, put them di...

You can change the music during any event with append=no probably along with immediate=yes (from here ). Thanks, Pentarctagon. I just read the wiki, and evidently the append=no is the default, so any new music is immediately started. Wow, this doesn't seem as hard as I thought it would be (so far.)...

My campaign is almost done, so I need to select music. Not being a musical person, I'd appreciate some help with this part. Right now I'm using the {DEFAULT_MUSIC_PLAYLIST} , which is awesome music. But I'd like to customize the music anyway with some other awesome music that the player might not ha...

Oh, I see, thanks. That way is not only more concise, it's easier to understand at a glance.
