Noob with loads of questions :O

[Magical_Noob]

Hello I'm completely new to this, and is currently trying to build my own era. I came across many problems in the process, and is in need of help

currently my era only has one unit, I need to make sure I'm doing my things correctly before I add more.

Edit: Removed original questions, since they are solved.

New question: For some reason my unit's exp bar does not show up, and when exp hits cap, nothing happens. My units are lvl 0s and does not advances to anything, is this the problem? if so, how to solve this? O.o

Hi!
First of all, please do not use colors in your posts (posting guideline 1d).
Then, this better fits in WML workshop as this does not have anything to do with Lua. Moved.

To answer your first question: Look here: EditingWesnoth#Where_is_my_user_data_directory.3F
Everything from mainline is available for your add-on.

_main (note pad)

That should be called _main.cfg, not _main.txt (the .txt extension is apparently there since Windows recognizes it as a Notepad file, but Windows by default hides known extensions).

Ok, I changed it, thx.

I recommend switching over to Notepad++, it really makes things a lot easier.

Where can I get Notepad++?

[Pentarctagon]

Here.

There's also a syntax high-lighter for notepad++ here (scroll to the bottom of the post).

Thanks ^^

No, that shouldn't be a problem. If you post your code you might get more help.

P.S. Are you sure it reached full XP?

Yeah, it's better to keep your questions in one thread if possible, but please just make a new post when you come up with the next question, instead of editing away the previous ones.

Im sure, the exp does not even show up, and exp can and will go up to 50/20

Code: Select all

[unit_type]
    id=Zombie
    name= _ "Zombie"
    race=undead
    image="units/undead/zombie.png"
    ellipse="misc/ellipse-nozoc"
    {MAGENTA_IS_THE_TEAM_COLOR}
    {TRAIT_FEARLESS_MUSTHAVE}
    hitpoints=10
    movement_type=smallfoot
    movement=4
    level=0
    experience=24
    alignment=chaotic
    advances_to=null
    cost=1
    usage=fighter
    description= _ ""

Code: Select all

advances_to=null

There’s your problem. Change null to the id= of the [unit_type] to which you want your Zombies to advance.

He said they weren't supposed to level though. (i.e. AMLA)
