I noticed that, when I CMake-configure Wesnoth for building, LTO is turned off by default. Is this because it's somehow unsafe/unstable? If it is, can someone describe what behavior one can expect with LTO turned on?
While reading the wikia, I have stumbled upon the mention of attack range, intended for Version 1.19.4 and later only: https://wiki.wesnoth.org/Effectwml
What are the plans for this in regards to the core game? I am asking because many current and in-development scenarios & campaigns are bal...

Just for fun, I've been profiling and patching Wesnoth (1.18 code base). The overall effect is >2x speedup with plenty of future potential. There was no single you-done-goofed hotspot, so I ended up with ~100 small to large-scale changes. Areas touched include

Without seeing more details who knows. I suggest starting with something simple and just open a PR.
If you wonder if it could be made easier to keep compatibility across versions of BfW, if you think it is a pity to have so many add-ons that are dropped at each new major release, if you wish it was more straightforward to make add-ons from previous versions available now with confidence that an...

[edit] For the patch applicable to BFW1.16, see here[/edit]
At version BFW1.14, wesnoth doesn't offer any support for loading old saves to replay.
If you are interested in replaying old saves, additional support must be added to BFW1.14 code.
Here is an attempt to implement this support from...

Here is a first version of changes into the game engine that supports replaying save games from past versions that can be used based on the BFW 1.18.0 engine. It contains the following functions:
support from 1.4 to 1.16 saves (1v1) using the core model.
I'd like to experiment with writing a Lua stage that would completely replace the RCA AI recruiting routing (AI_CA_RECRUITMENT). Are there any examples out there of completely or partially overriding AI_CA_RECRUITMENT with Lua? I think I just need a template and then I'd be ready to go.
Thanks!

There was a patch linked somewhere in the thread that allowed grabbing results from an ML toolkit, though since it was applied to a 13-year version of the code, you're unlikely to be able to use it as is. It might be worth reading for ideas though if it's still available.
It would be interesting to leverage AI and see what kind of UI design it could come up with. Often, or at the least so it appeared to me, there are some problems and shortcomings where a human then has to do some additional quality control steps.
Perhaps we could kind of let AI autogenerate some...
The scenario editor currently has a feature called "Item Tool" which allows you to easily place images on the ground, which is great for scenery. The problem is that these images currently can't be removed from within the editor.

Greetings everyone! (My first post in the official forum. )

Expanding a macro inside a string (inside quotes) that contains itself quotes is specifically made an error. So it's not that the macro is expanded and the result is somehow invalid. You cannot get this error without a macro expansion.

A variety of Micro AIs were introduced in Wesnoth 1.11.2 as an easy method to introduce specialized and configurable AI behavior to a scenario.

Ignoring the [avoid] tag is as documented – all MicroAIs do this unless explicitly stated. Taking a straight line instead of the quickest path does sound like it could be a bug, however.

That'd just be calculating the chance of each possible outcome and then the CTK is the sum of the outcomes that result in the unit have 0 or less hp.

When writing a spoken "message" delivered by a unit, if a unit type that may or may not exist any more is referenced in the message, a coder has to write code to cover the two possible situations: is the unit type there or not there? But a third possibility also needs to be considered:...

A lot of ActionWML is implemented in Lua - the main difference between [show_countdown] and many other WML tags is that the Lua behind it is in the scenario file, whereas the core ones are in files in the data/lua/ directory.
So with the help of Vultraz i've been working on constructing a compatibility layer for the current rendering system, which should allow everything to be slowly migrated towards three general goals:
support for scaling on high resolution displays

Thank you. That works well enough. A non-integer multiplier might be better, but aiui that's not doable.
My scenario starts off by generating 2700 hexes. This takes less than a minute.
Every turn, I move 2700 hexes and generate 180. This takes a few seconds.
But when I try to individually move 2700 tiles worth of shroud, it takes more than a minute. Why???
It would be awesome if this was fixed....

wouldn't it be more convenient to call current (1.16.x) or next (1.18.x) release series "version 2.0" (2.0.x)?
compared to Wesnoth 1.14.x, Wesnoth 1.16.x has plenty of changes which are not backward-compatible:
1) switches from 32-bit binaries to 64-bit ones
2) drops support for windows XP (I...

At this point, Haldric has become more of its own game really - it's not really "Wesnoth 2.0" so much as a separate game "inspired by" Wesnoth 1.x. So 1.x will most likely continue on, unless all or nearly all of the players and mod makers switch to...

There's a thing in Python where you make use of multiprocessing/multithreading.
