Dead Water 1.0 for BfW 1.8

Post by **beetlenaut** » March 12th, 2009, 5:44 am

I've been very busy lately, but I had a little time today, and updated several things in the 1.5 version. I added some reef terrain, rewrote the drake's dialog, made it much harder for the slaves to kill the saurian slavers, and made a couple small cosmetic changes. I also stuck in my sprite for the level-3 king. It's not animated, but neither are the new mermen, so it's OK. I've been meaning to animate him for months now, and haven't gotten to it. I'm hoping someone else will take it on. So, I'm posting the GIMP file for the warrior king. I'm the only person in the credits right now, but you can get in there by doing a nice animation! The other levels for the king don't really match the style of the new mermen, so if you want to take a stab at fixing them up, that would be great too. (Note: I won't accept anything that is not at least as good as the current stuff. I don't want the campaign to get worse.)

There had to be a reason for Kai Krellis to go on this whole mission himself.

The music track names are wrong at least in Talking to Tyegëa: they have underscores whereas the real filenames have dashes. Can cause a nasty freeze in 1.6, it seems...

Also, you should update Tyegëa's portrait with the transparent one from UtBS. And probably use some completely different one for Caladon, since no transparent version of that hideous old silver mage portrait exists.

scenario The_Mage:

You let Teeloa say some things, but we don't know if he is alive at that point and you don't use [have_unit] (for Gwabbo you do).
I must say, your code is quite readable, macros at the right places, nice comments. Useful as an example-code

.

/edit
and a severe problem, same scenario:
"Friendly bat" is also affected by the code that makes the hostile bats disappear...

One nice feature of [message] is that if the unit isn't present, the message isn't displayed. Thus if the conversation can flow well even without a given message, it isn't necessary to encase it in a [have_unit] if. That might be the case here.

Yes. Teeloa says something two times, the first time it doesn't matter, the second time the dialog is broken then.

Fixed. I shouldn't have tested with the music off, but I prefer listening to my own music collection.

I fixed Tyegëa's portrait, but I don't know what to do with the other one. It's hideous, but I'm not sure if it's better to just have nothing. The mainline silver mage portrait is no good either. Caladon is supposed to be at least a little insane, and the mainline mage looks as cool and as steady as possible.

I think the second one works fine. Krellis does respond, but his line works on its own as well.

It shouldn't in 0.9.15. I fixed that a while ago, and I can't see anything wrong with the code. What version are you using?

It's 0.9.13. I don't bother to follow every updates...
I used

Code: Select all

[not]
    side="1"
[/not]

to repair the save file, in the filter of the store_unit that looks for bats (works).

I would love to translate this campaign, but its not possible for me now. I cant get source .po file from Wescamp.
See:
http://www.wesnoth.org/gettext/?package ... ion=branch

Because of:
Dead_Water/units/Dark_Shape.cfg - empty string marked as translateable
http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=18675

Could it be fixed please?

Done.

I'm glad they had an explanation for what was wrong. I never would have figured it out.

Fixed.

The same problem remains in Wolf Coast.

That was a slightly different problem, but it should be fixed now, too.

Just played through 0.9.16 on hard. Quite nice and well balanced campaign and all the items is an nice touch. Only thing I can think of right now that should be added is possibly a lvl 2 brawler.

Soon ready for mainline inclusion?
