Add on campaigns in 1.96? Also reporting a minor bug

Post by WanderingHero »

When I go onto the add on server with 1.96 their seems to be much fewer campaigns than when I go on at work with an older version (notably I can't get Fate of the Princess). Why is this? Are there other add on servers? If so what are the addresses?


Also minor bug, beat Delfadoor's Memoirs on normal, but when I scoll down to it it hasnt got the "victory" emblem even though i have replays of the last scenario and the epilogue

an add-on from e.g. 1.8 isn't necessarily compatible with 1.9. so there's a different add-on server for each major version.
(even if there were no compatibility issues you can't show add-ons created for 1.9 to users on 1.8).

it takes some time for the umc maintainers to port to a new version.

So whats a good way of experience some of the old user campaigns?

I heard about something called Scepter Of Life that seemed pretty good but I can't find it on either PC

Simply go to wesnoth.org and download the 1.8.x version of the game.
“It is written in my life-blood, such as that is, thick or thin; and I can no other.” - J.R.R. Tolkien

My campaign: Swamplings - Four centuries before the founding of Wesnoth, the first wolf rider emerges from a tribe of lowly swamp goblins.

Scepter of Light is from 1.4, see here:
http://www.wesnoth.org/addons/1.4/

this was quite a remarkable campaign, unfinished though (still 6 or so scenarios). you'll have to install 1.4 to play it. it won't run on 1.8 without modification...
