units.wesnoth.org

has units.wesnoth.org gone totally bonkers? It is as if it snarfed all units on the campaign server, didn't deal with the incompatibilities, and doesn't filter units correctly.

Um...yeah....wtf?

The desert elves are listed like 11 times and a lot of the images are fuxxed.

It is cool to have the customs on there though...but not if they're all goofy.

Wow, that page is a mess. Those desert elves are rather drastic. One thing seems to be an issue with unit names. Any unit with the word "warrior" in it's name, and there are a lot, ended up getting the drake warrior image. The units that are lucky enough to actually have images that is.

Speaking of images: I never suspected how many poorly drawn units there were

When it's fixed, the page also shouldn't automatically show all units that can be found. Some probably aren't meant to be visible this way, like some of those UtBS ones...and unit types that aren't meant to be individual units, like the desert elf duplicates which differ only by cost. An automated collection like this could work however, if unit types could be marked as "hidden" in the .cfg's.

Oh, and maybe have an option to show the unit source
(default, Peasent Era, XE (whatever that is), etc.)

Neither did I.

Some of those are really bad.

I'm betting the problem has to do with the new organization of units. pngs are now filed like this:

...\images\units\dwarves\fighter.png
...\images\units\elves-wood\fighter.png

and

...\images\units\elves-wood\hero.png
...\images\units\trolls\hero.png

Are some examples of what I'm talking about. Both are called fighter.png or hero.png respectively, albeit in different folders. I'm guessing this is screwing up the grabberbot. As for the multiple desert elves, I have no theories.

the styling for the background should be updated, whoever made the page never expected it to get this long.

also, if the page is going to be so long it might be nice to be able to collapse trees with a little javascript magic instead of having to reload the page with different options.

Please see my post here.

Those are some straange errors...
