I tried many times to reproduce the error, but the error did not appear.
I tried different versions of my campaign, no such error message. :hmm:

Did the error appear more than one time, or did you quit after the first try?
Can you please try again an tell me what happens?
Same behaviour, the reproduction should be easy as I described above

Thank you, and sorry for the trouble.
The replay doesn't help because it didn't catch mentioned behaviour.

I reproduced it many times and I discovered that this errors is caused by any unit. So what I done:
- right click on any unit and choose "unit description"
- close description
- left click on unit
- error appears

I suppose that problem is here (red line):

Thank you for your feedback, and thanks for given my campaign a second chance.

About error 1 & 2:
No big thing. I just deleted the discarded line. :)
The error message will no longer appear in the stderr text.
I noticed this a long time ago, but for some reason I never fixed it. :P

About error 3:
This error is caused by a simple typo.
I wrote 'humand' instead of 'humans' in the path to the defence image.
Thanks for notify me. :)

About error 4:
I have currently no idea what may cause this error,
but I will check it.

About error 5:
Seems I once deleted this song by mistake.
I added it again to the folder 'songs'.
Thank you for the report.

About error 6:
This error is caused by a WML leftover.
In former versions of this scenario, there were three loyal Peasants to find.
Now there are only two Peasants that joins your party.
In the second scenario the engine tries to recall (all) three loyal Peasants, but there are only two of them. (if they survived the first scenario)
I will change this in the .cfg file.
Thank you.
Thanks for the autosaves, very interesting, especially the third.
The second sadly seems not to work.

Hope you enjoy the campaign so far. :)

2) Dialogue is not performed properly
Description:
The finish dialogue is not proper at the end of "Lord_Veogwyn" mission. The "Lord_Veogwyn" says nothing only Antar's dialogue part is replayed.
This error message "warning engine: cannot show message" in the stderr.txt is associated with this bug.

Reproduction scenario: (reproduced)
- Kill the enemy leader
- check dialogue

6) Note for "Through_The_Goblin_Hills" mission
I suppose that all non-recalled units will be lost as well as the units which don't reach signpost. So it would be nice to have a castle (somewhere) in "Through_The_Goblin_Hills" mission

Error number 1:
Fixed. Thank you.


Error number 2:
:doh: Stupid mistake. :augh:
I changed Lord Veogwyns ID, and missed to change the speakers ID's too.
And because I always skipped those part of the scenario while play-testing, I didn't noticed the missing messages.
I am really grateful for this report.
Fixed. Thank you very much. :D


Error number 3:
Since I use a macro to recall all main heroes, the recall tag to recall Gelphrad is redundant.
Fixed. Thank you.


Error number 4:
Here I use a custom house image.
And the images size is bigger than Wesnoths standard.
I don't want to shrink the image, so this error message will be displayed furthermore. :P


Error number 5:
I'm have no idea how to fix this.
The error is caused by the code I use to create Goblins on random hexes.
But I don't know what exactly causes this error.
I will set this on my todo list. (a very long list) :augh:


6) About the 'note for "Through_The_Goblin_Hills" mission':
No, the player keeps his units on the recall list.
I think It would be a bad idea to delete the recall list at this point.
That would surly annoy the player.
Only the units on the map can be lost.
So a castle is not necessary.
A castle would not fit to the idea of this scenario. :)

1) Message should not be shown
In some scenarios you can capture the war-chest of the defeated enemy leader.
In earlier versions of my campaign, the unit who killed the enemy leader said a sentence about the gained war-chest.
But most of the time was the number of gold is a odd number, and the spoken sentence was something like "Oh, I found a warchest with 148 gold in it!" or
" Oh I found a warchest with 29 gold in it!"
And that is pretty weird.
The unit can't know the exactly number of coins, or count so fast while fighting hordes of enemies.
So I decided that the unit should say nothing about the chest.
I think it is better to display the number of gold the way you see on the attached image.

Seems I have to explain this feature somehow to the player.
Any proposals?

2) Warning in stdrerr.txt / repeated [endlevel] execution, ignoring
Fixed, thank you.

3) Auto-save file has not proper name
This is caused because BfW 1.11.1 is still a development version.
And because of this some things don't work as intended,
and because of this I was forced to use a workaround here.
And that is the reason why there is a unnamed save (ASoR-_.gz).
I'm pretty sure the "ASoR-Dwarven_Pass_.gz"-save is also there.

5) Warning in stderr.txt / cannot show message
:oops: I did not noticed the missing message myself. :?
Fixed, thank you. :)

Error number 4) and 6) I have to check.

The problem is that this message is not cleared (at the end of the turn or let's say after 20 seconds or something like that). I mean that the message is displayed until you finish mission or load any game. I guess that this is bug in game not in your add-ons. However from my point of view it is sufficient if the unit say something like "I just found some money...."

I once used similar messages, but I was not satisfied with them.
The message about the gold came often very inappropriate and untimely. And often it does not fit with the following messages, e.g. talking in the victory event.
So I decided to try it this way, but you are right. The message sticks too long on the screen.
I have to find an other way to tell the player how much gold he has looted.
Because that is what I want, I want to tell the player the exact number of gold he has gained. :)
If a unit on the map tells the exact number, then this will sound very weird.

:augh: :doh: :x :doh: :augh:
Seems my campaign wont work with BfW version 1.11.0 and 1.11.1
My campaign works perfect with BfW 1.10, so I guess it is a issue with the game core itself.
Other campaign designers has similar problems. (e.g. The Library of Kratemaqht by cephalo)
Even mainline campaigns have this trouble (e.g. Legend of Wesmere)
I am very sorry about that, but there is nothing I can do, except waiting for the new BfW version 1.11.2
And I really hope the problem is solved then.
Remember, 1.11 is the development version!
I would suggest to play my campaign with BfW version 1.10, thats the stable version.
I added this proposal to the last update on the 1.11 server, so anyone should notice that.
Thank you for your feedback.

There are some scenarios in development/testing state, but non of them is ready for publishing. :)
Of course I try to finish the campaign, but currently I neither have the time nor the inspiration that is prerequisite to make big progress.
I don't want to upload some unbalanced or boring scenarios. :)
Right now I have more fun in playing other peoples campaigns, than in developing mine. :whistle:
I beg your pardon, and hope you will understand.
But I am still here, and I still work on Antar, Son of Rheor. :)

Hi Adamant, I have a problem in the map "flight tunnel", as soon as I get to the waypoint and the village appears around me I get this error:

Error while playing the game: game_error: invalid side(4) found in unit description

Dugi posted a workaround on the original thread, but I thought I would let you know anyways.

Very nice campaign by the way!

@Magigi12
Thank you for the report, although I noticed this issue already by my self.
Dugi is right in both cases.
1. Yes, Flight Tunnel is temporary the last available scenario.
2. Yes the issue is caused by the stored Dwarf side.
If you are interested in technical details, see this thread for details: "Error while playing the game: game_error: invalid side(4) found in unit definition"
This problem appearers only in the 1.11 development versions, the stable 1.10 versions runs without any problems.

I will upload a version that should work without this error message tonight.
But for new scenarios you have to be patient.

Edit: Done, a fixed version is on the server.
