The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

You turned a beginner-friendly campaign into an impossible one. It's definitely not impossible. I played through each branch of the whole campaign twice. I agree that it's really hard, but that is the point. It took me quite a few tries to get through scenario 1 the first time myself. And you are r...

This idea is already implemented in two official campaigns. It is in "Under the Burning Suns" and "Descent into Darkness". Other authors didn't want to include it. They were probably worried about making the leaders invincible.

Two things to note: You can use Chantal's troops to get you through turn 5 and/or 6 with few losses of your own. Also, the AI won't usually attack Delfador if there are other, weaker units nearby, so he can survive at least one turn exposed. I think I played better in the second one, and I finished ...

i dont know what to write in it, any help? You need the WML reference wiki to answer questions like this. Just pin the tab in your browser now because you will consult it constantly. Even with years of experience, I still need the wiki. You could look up [advancement] in the list on the right side ...

I think WML Guide is quite a bit better than the Campaign-How-To (although that had already taken the best name). WML Guide has four folders as opposed to ten, which could be overwhelming. It has a readme file, a glossary of sorts, a diagram of the campaign structure, two scenarios showing how they ...

There isn't a campaign editor. You will need to do some programming to make a campaign. (There have been several projects started that you seem to have heard about, but none of them got very far AFAIK. They wouldn't save you from having to learn to program anyway.) It won't be that hard though. The ...

You can make a copy of the Silver Mage (with a different id) and add a new teleport ability to it, or you can write a unit_placed event that uses [modify_unit] to add the same ability to each Silver Mage that enters the map. The ability only needs a couple changes from the village one that the mage ...

You haven't given us enough information to answer your question any better than Ravana already has. Is this teleportation something you want to happen at some point during a scenario? If so, how many units are involved? Or, is this an ability you want a unit to have? If so, is it a custom unit_type ...

how would I go about doing it There is more than one way, but this is how I would do it. I would put an enter_hex event in this unit's [unit_type] tag. This is what the event would do: store_locations that are two hexes away from enemy units of this type use find_in to see if the moving unit has en...

You also need to put these formulas in quotes so the "+" will add the numbers. (In normal WML, the "+" concatenates two strings.) It should look like: value="$($turns_from_show + 2)" . In the future, you would do better to explain what you want your code to do, and what...

I think I would flip recruited trolls to a different team. The new team could be leaderless, hidden, and the same color as the original one. I don't think many players would notice.

Would you have an example of a simple inventory system ? The one I've seen is clunky Wesnoth was meant to be a tactical simulation board game that played something like more-complex chess. Nobody imagined that it would need an inventory management system. Later, some clever programmers managed to a...

Never mind. Celtic_Minstrel's answer is more complete.

What I am looking for is a way to capture the information about the original setting of the schedule before the beginning of the scenario or at least to acquire the information about the original setting before turn 1. The message generated by this code shows the whole schedule before the map even ...

If you mean how to show the schedule, the normal place for that would be in an [objectives] note. You could also show it in the story text if you want it to appear before the map is revealed. If you did it in the story, you would also be able to show it as a set of ToD images instead of using mostly...
