wesnoth.random errors in 1.15.13

Post by white_haired_uncle »

In 1.15.13, go to debug->inspect->lua console and run

$ wesnoth.random(2)
Lua Error:
When executing, Lua runtime error: [string "return wesnoth.random(2)"]:1: attempt to call a nil value (field 'random')
stack traceback:
[string "return wesnoth.random(2)"]:1: in main chunk

In 1.14.15 and 1.15.12, it returns 1 or 2.

Thanks and sorry for the dupe. I tried to do a search first, but I have never been able to convince the search engine that I actually do know what I want to search for (like wesnoth.random, which is NOT wesnoth (to be ignored) and random (to match all kinds of stuff I'm not looking for)).
