The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

For now, I recommend playing in windowed mode and using a smaller resolution.

Mabuse, when you get a chance go through the cfg files (yes even the macros/ ) and find all the [scroll_to] wml and add the line check_fogged=true. This will prevent players from seeing events with a scroll_to in it underneath fog. Or you can grab these files and replace them in your v4 (replace fil...

Units are not balanced vs other units. Factions are balanced vs factions. So comparing a unit to two similar units will show its weaknesses, but that doesn't mean it needs to be changed.

I would petition a mod to merge this thread into the previous thread and update the previous threads title. Just to keep things somewhat organized.

What was wrong with this thread: http://forum.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=15029 ?

I would probably get more information from the person who reported the crash. This person appears to be using an old or broken wesnoth client.

What about this for the filter:

Similar to the above: [illuminates] id=delumination [filter_adjacent_location] time_of_day = lawful [/filter_adjacent_location] cumulative=no name= _ "deluminates" value=-25 max_value=0 affect_enemies=yes affect_allies=no affect_self=no description= _ "Deluminates: ... [/illuminates] ...

These are macros that are supplied by wesnoth devs and are automatically included in any user-made content (I.E. your scenario). They can be found in the wesnoth/data/core/macros folder. wesnoth/data/core/macros/utils.cfg contains both macros you are interested in. When you open the file you will se...

For an observer it would be cool, to see what the players had choosen at the start of the game. Atm if you picked random, observers will only see the result after game has started. So interpreting the start of a MP game with fog aint posible, without asking the players. Explain why observers should...

DotG had C4 explosive bags that did this.

I'm not quite certain I understand what you are trying to do. Either way: 2) Its easy to construct a complex string but not possible to decontruct a string with WML. How about using [option]s in a [message] in a [while] loop. This has been done many times over in many UMC's. Survival Extreme, DotG, ...

I generally find that undead are overpowered. Bats are really hard to hit. Adepts kill everything. Ghouls are painfully hard to kill as well. Undead can force any player into retreat at dusk with a couple adepts. Lets also not forget that adepts are very fast too (since they have very good odds for ...

This may be a non-issue but I found that early on when I started playing with WML that comments that don't begin at line start could sometimes cause parsing/interpreter errors. I'm curious what would happen if you changed this: next_scenario=null#TODO {TURNS 30 24 18} #TODO #very preliminary guess h...

Ever since the server load has been very high I have noticed some strange errors. Save and reload when this happens.
