Age of Tentacles

Post by Wayirr »

The addon Age of Tentacles exists for a while now. It contains a faction of several fully animated units, including giant centipedes of several kinds, shessinsaans (Large quadrupedal predator reptiles), dragonflies and mosquitoes, both similar to real life Culex Pipiens but much larger and several kinds of mosquitoes, which can shoot poisonous dart.

Please keep in mind, that while this is a faction, it's not balanced against the mainline faction, it seems to be significantly stronger than them.

It is available from official campaign server for 1.14 and earlier stable releases. Originally those units were meant to be used in a single-player campaign, which didn't come out yet. By now, the addon is not actively developed, only ported to newer major releases of Wesnoth, however if you have suggestions at to what you want to be improved, this thread is for you. If you have any questions, or want to report any problems, you are welcome.

https://files.wesnoth.org/addons/1.14/Age_of_Tentacles.tar.bz2 for 0.9.2

https://files.wesnoth.org/addons/1.16/Age_of_Tentacles.tar.bz2 for 0.9.3 onward

While the add-on is only developed for latest stable Wesnoth version, I am pretty sure, it's going to work with 1.12 and 1.10 after reverting changes I had to make (such as renaming Khalifate to Dunefolk).

Changes:

12.02.2021 Version 0.9.2 is out. The first version which has link to this forum thread. It also has lines small_profile= commented, making the game use bigger transparent portraits everywhere. In the next version I might move portraits from portraits/transparent to just portraits and remove smaller pics with black background completely.

22.03.2024 Version 0.9.3 is out. It is the same thing as 0.9.2, except that two deprecated macros were removed and version string updated. If you want to run it on 1.12 or 1.10, take the version from 1.14 server, since the removed macros are needed for old versions of Wesnoth.

Version 0.9.3 is published on 1.16 server only. I plan to also publish it on 1.18 server later, when I compile new Wesnoth and make sure it still works. For now you can download the addon directly and unpack it into ~/.local/share/wesnoth/1.16/data/add-ons/ or equivalent location in your OS.

Only difference between two versions is removal of lines containing {SOUND:POISON} and {MAGENTA_IS_THE_TEAM_COLOR} which were required for Wesnoth 1.12 and prior and were deprecated since 1.13 something, and completely removed since 1.15.0, so there is no need to update the addon on 1.14 server, since it works there with a warning.
