playing current version from 1.5.x campaign server on BfW 1.5.6 with default difficulty. in "Old Enemies" the children which i should guide don't show up (clever of them, lol).

edit: meanwhile noticed that mages who did get graded up from the apprentices don't level as expected. they stay mages even if they got enough xp to level, thereby not healing and not advancing.

Well, I figured out that this only happens in medium difficulty,which is good, but unfortunately I still don't know why. Be back when I do. :oops:

UPDATE: Hurray! I found that in the main I specified difficulties easy, NORMAL, and hard. Fixed and uploaded. (0.7.3)

In Wesnoth 1.5.6 I got 2 problems:
1) On "Old Enemies" scenario when I'm putting children over 1,30 - nothing happens so objectives can't be completed. Fortunately, this does not prevents killing necromancer (then I'm getting victorious).
Let's say I played at "normal" level and it has been TOO EASY to kill necromancer. He had few gold and few units and I and allies had ton of gold and powerful units so necromancer has been killed very quickly anf without any problems.I do not know if this is intended behavior or not but it could be good to make necromancer a bit more powerful (like it was in earlier versions of this campaign for 1.4.x version of Wesnoth).

2) On "A Daring Rescue" scenario I'm getting error after first turn.
Part of debug log at this time:

For "On A Daring Rescue" that is a mistake due to the misspelling in the code.

It should read Halberdier, not Haldberdier. A fix for now would be to locate the mistake in the scenario file and put the correct spelling in instead.

Typo seems to be in [Side] definition for King Konrad in 15_A_Daring_Rescue.cfg.

Damn, now I'm got same error when green skeleton recruits :shock:

I bet "Renevant" is actually a Revenant :geek:. Now, fixing seems to be complete - this should be fixed for green Draug side or similar error will appear when it tries to recruit.

You need to
1) Clear the cache (erase files in Wesnoth's cache directory, it located in "cache" directory in same tree as downloaded campaigns). So cache is forced to be rebuilded.
2) Restart this scenario (i.e. load save game from previous scenario so ).

Just in case, I attached my own 15_A_Daring_Rescue.cfg if needed. It surely works for me :wink:

I suggest campaign author to fix and re-upload this file.

As for me it looks like further campaigns are not well-polished yet. In addition to previous bugs I also noticed yet another bugs:
1) It looks like at least recalled mages (including Dillon itself) are not willing to level-up properly. They're not level up for unknown reason, experience reset and HPs added. That's all - they remain same L1 units :(.On older version of campaign played on 1.4.x leveling worked fine though so it may be somehow related to 1.5.6 itself?
2) There is some problem on "Orcish Supremacy" scenario. While on previous map there was full royal family (including Li'sar and Konrad), on this map looks like Konrad and Li'sar recall is not occured correctly.I can't see them and no comments given why they're not here so this not seems to be intended. However I can see some unknown fighter and fighteress guarded by royal guards. I can suspect they were supposed to be Konrad and Li'sar but actually they're level 1 units and have wrong names.
3) I also have peasant childs in recall list after "Old Enemies" is completed by killing necromancer while there were remaining childs.

I got that stupid

20081215 00:56:48 error engine: unit of type not found!
20081215 00:56:48 error general: Error while playing the game: game_error: Unknown unit type '' while generating traits

error in this campaign and in the Dedfaldors Memoairs. The campaign file should really be updated.

You are right about that error, I cannot imagine that people would ever make mistakes in spelling in all the WML they write in the campaign files.

Were any unit names changed in 1.5.6.?

Cause right now I'm on mission 18 - Orcish supremacy - and the same error appears again. the scenario files calls for Goblin Impalers and Orcish Grunts, yet when I look under core/units there is no Goblin or Orcish. Just Grutn, Warrior, Impaler. It also calls for swordsmaen instead of Loyalist swordsmen etc.. I fixed what I could, but so far, it's still not working :P

How can one release a campaign without testing?

Exactly as how one can make posts without proofreading them.
