Re: Luck rant [split from Luck in Wesnoth: Rationale]

Take away random and you do not have wesnoth . Anyone is free to start up their own wesnoth server and allow only Sauron's mod be played on it. Less-randomness is fun, only for a little while. You may like to argue games like starcraft are non-random (as much) and competitive, and because wesnoth is...

Re: Art Theft!

If the copyright holders ask FSF I think they can give some sound advice other than "There's nothing you can do". The FSF acts on all GPL violations reported on FSF copyrighted code, and we offer assistance to any other copyright holder who wishes to do the same. But, we cannot act on our ...

lua wml preprocessor; using lua as macros instead

Imagine if you could use lua instead of macros. It turns this: #textdomain wesnoth-multiplayer [[function message (speaker, message) return "#auto\n[message]\nspeaker="..speaker.."\nmessage="..message.."\n[/message]"; end]] [multiplayer] type={TYPE} user_description={US...

Re: Why not LUA?

I know there is a soft-lock on this discussion but I think I have something new to add. Forgive me if it isn't. Wesnoth's macro language has some basic functionality that is really useful. But the macro 'language' is rather limited. There is no looping, for example. What if, we replaced WML macro la...

Re: postfix stack eval.

i guess all theses defines really (even more if you would parse infix expressions) bloat up the configuration. and the save games and replays as well (everything's stored there in "compiled" format). nevertheless, it's cool - realizing a stack in wml - amazing^^ It'd be just a little more...

postfix stack eval.

I have spent a little while doing this for fun (whilst studying infix/postfix for uni) ;). I have wrote a macro where one can do: #!assign, add, multiply, message, are functions defined else where in the file. #!Using Stacks {EVAL "1 2 add myVar assign"} #!myVar=1+2=3; {EVAL "4 $myVar...

Re: Places where I think Wesnoth could improve. DRAFT

Village economy can be annoying in MP sometimes, especially when I play drakes.... I'd be having a 4-to-1 kill ratio against the other player (Loyalist maybe 2-1 or 3-1) 10 turns into the game and still be losing. An opponent once remarked: "Pyrrhic victory after Pyrrhic victory...". That ...

Re: PoxNora

CCGs are a big ugly pyramid scheme; they're also horrifically unbalanced, even if they're free (unless all involved participants were to undergo a lengthy process of making sure their deck had the same potential for power. I played MtG back in high school, and yeah - it had pretty art and all, but ...

Re: Westnoth no longer fires up after change to 1440 x 900 res

After solving the 1440x900 screen resolution problem on my computer, Westnoth (1.4 on Hardy Heron) no longer starts up - a brief flash of black screen then nothing more. Cannot get into the game to access resolution settings. Re-installing the game does not make any difference. Anybody have any ide...

So the only way to play Wesnoth is to overthrow communism? dang... I guess we can also blame appleide for this :roll: Its my fault yeah...
