We are happy to announce that Wesnoth is now able to accept donations on Liberapay . While Wesnoth does rely on the work of dedicated volunteers, no project can function completely cost-free. Revenue from the Apple App Store and from donations goes towards maintaining our servers,...
There have been numerous important forum posts and wiki articles written by users and developers. We reference these pages a lot, and decided to put them together in a convenient list.
Write clearly, be nice to others, and be very careful when posting anything related to politics or religion. When asking for help, remember that everyone here is a volunteer. Prefer editing your previous post over double posting. No animated avatars or graphical signatures. Don’t plagiarize other’s...
Have a separate forum where players can tell their stories etc. without cluttering the main ones to the potential irritation of others and the risk of criticism for doing so.
The Users Forum would still be there for less campaign/scenario-centric discussion.
I think it would be worth trying to make a great support system for Wesnoth players -- and these are a few ideas, what it should look like:
As easy as possible for users; designed for people with almost zero computer skills. No registration, etc. Just come to support web page, click write a...
Could this GrabberBot script be a little more selective in what it stores from my posts? There's outdated stuff on there, stuff I reposted that other people made... the page is gobbling up everything I leave behind.
Yeah, title says it all. The orange post symbols keep refusing to turn up when they should, or sticking around after I have read the new posts. It's no big deal or anything, but it was nice when they worked.
units.wesnoth.org (and wesnoth.slack.it) doesn't appear to display weapon specials: The horsmen line's attacks don't have Charge , the Necromancer's attack doesn't have Plague and the Orcish Assassin's attack doesn't have Poison .
I am looking for new screenshots that are interesting and show off the game's graphics. It should be taken in full-screen mode, and I need it as a full-sized tiff. The updated screenshot will be put up on apple.com. If you have anything (a .tiff or an uncompressed bitmap that I can convert to...
I just registered with the forum, and my confirmation email contained my password...in clear text. The email also mentioned that it can no longer be retrieved, because it is encrypted in the forum database. What's the point of encrypting it if it's going to be sent over a medium as insecure as...
When I type _it's_ (without the underscores) in a forum post, it becomes it is in the preview when I hit the preview button. When I type it and hit submit , it changes in the posted message.
I assume there's some sort of autocorrect function running amok somewhere.
i would like to try to create a board style for wesnoth. Therefore i wanted to ask if someone could give me the standard style folder for the board so i can work in the mods right away.
I'll try to ceep the normal webstie style and work with the style of the game :) .
I want to make some changes in the wiki that (1) require a lot of work, and (2) maybe some other editors will disagree with. So before I start doing it, I would like to know your opinions -- that is, opinions of people who contribute to wiki.
The WML reference could be refactored . All information...
Apparently, this page has had all of the actually USEFUL data on it removed - it used to list all UMCs on the server, now it just lists UMCs NOT on the server. Who did this, and WTH was their reason for it? It must have happened a while ago, since the page was edited last over a month ago......
I notice that the unit graphics at are in TColour (ie. Pink). They look kind of silly. Can the script be modified to convert the Tcolour to red or blue?
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but may I use some wesnoth images for an online flash game I am making? My website is and a beta version of the game using those images can be found at .
My idea was to create a wiki site, where users could add a link to a page (in the wiki) where they make their own continents history.
For example: a user makes a campaign set on a different continent then Wesnoth's. He then wants to create a time-line page for people to get more background, so he...
as far as i have experienced that i can only look at wiki over the links on top of the page. I allways have to link me trough to the page i want to view. I would suggest that you link a proper wiki main page with search and page index that lists all pages themeticaly or alphabetcaly.
I just noticed that the wiki doesn't indicate the copyright status for contributions.
Personally, I just wanted to know if I could reuse the screenshots to write a review on another site, but it's an issue that should be cleared up in general.
Every so often when I open a forum or thread I am treated to the following:
phpBB : Critical Error
Could not connect to the database
Often just hitting the link 20 times or so will get me through, so it's not a showstopper but it's a pain. Anyone else getting this? Anyone know why it happens?
This is really designated towards the forum. For Internet Explorer users (or at least for my ie current version ), there is a problem registering. The confirmation code always appears as a X and the show picture option doesn't help the problem. So, I had to download firefox to see the picture. I'm...
I just had a problem logging in to the forums, I got to the login screen, and my password and username came up automatically as usual, but then I pressed login, and instead of returning to the index the login page re-loaded. even when I returned to the index manually I was not logged in. I tried...
