Several of our mainline campaigns are in the works for upgrades at the moment, which includes adding characters and enhancing existing scenarios. We are looking for more artwork to supplement these upgrades, including the following:
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,...

I have had similar issues with Wesnoth on KDE with Wayland on Manjaro. Main things I have verified so far:
1. it works fine with another wayland compositor - labwc
2. The problem disappears if you run it with XWayland with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 wesnoth
3. FPS drops sharply, and CPU usage rises to...

If you are running an appropriate operating system or Wesnoth build, then you can provide even more information in your bug report by including a backtrace of the game’s call stack, which can help us pinpoint the cause of the bug faster.

I have a scenario where several places have labels (like "Tower of This", "Mountain of That", for orientation purposes).

According to the documentation, the format is "r,g,b". So the 4th number is invalid.
Actually the label code is more or less straight what the 1.12 map editor wrote so I never questioned it, even those apparently useless empty entries.
As for the 4t...
Confirmed in 1.16 and 1.18: I have a big map (200x200), and am trying to divide it in 3 time areas. After selecting those areas and clicking on "save to (respective) area", I check them by toggling through those areas to see if the editor got it all right. Everything looks peachy, so I save the...

Just to add, apparently the editor also mangles areas when saving, leading to crashes when playing. See here.
I'm creating a scenario on a huge map (200x200) and during the first AI turn the game thinks a little, then it just vanishes. I ran it from the terminal and that was what it had to say: Anybody can please translate this and tell me what's happening (and how do I fix it)?

Yikes, the area selection on that scenario has been killing me, especially with the editor's stupid habit of (slowly!) scrolling to the top-left point when changing area, making comparisons...
Does the game record any logs? Where can I find them (1.16, Linux)?

Just "wesnoth" works fine, thanks again. Now I know what's happening, although I have no clue what it means.

I'm trying to convert my old scenarios and campaigns from 1.12 to 1.16 using wmllint. (Wesnoth 1.16 on Ubuntu.)

A new player just had a look at the game after a 10-yr gap since he last played it. First comment:

So how do you bump up the text size globally? I always assumed...

The better supported scaling is via Preferences -> Display -> Pixel scale multiplier. The disadvantage there is that, as of 1.18/1.19, only integral scaling is supported. Fractional scaling is logged in https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/8608

This is an alternate account of my main account, momom2.
I tried logging into the official server, but it didn't work. It gives me an incorrect password error - I tried copy-pasting and copying by hand, neither worked. I'm supposed to input my forum password, right?

I don't understand what exactly the problem is.
You create an account. You log into the multiplayer and it works. Then what? You save the password and at some point the saved password does not work anymore? And if you retype your password it does not work either?
Hi everyone,
I’m encountering a rather odd issue in multiplayer: even though my FPS remains stable and there’s no visible packet loss, turns occasionally feel delayed or slightly out of sync (units respond a fraction late, especially in larger maps).
What makes it tricky is that:

Hi,
You may be referring to what I think is a feature not a bug: When I used to play cooperative multiplayer games with my ex, I noticed that we only see our moves past the point when they cannot be undone.
Some unit moves can be undo'ed, if they didn't reveal a new part of map or shroud and didn't...

You probably dont need to upload it for 2018 addon server anyways. Just create new pbl file.
It must have been at least 15 years, if not 20, since I played this game last, when I was reminded about it the other day. I am looking forward to dive into it again!
