unable to find mainline campaigns

[Charlotte]

Hello,

after having played Wesnoth for around 18 months I decided it was time to put some of my many thoughts into reality and try to make my own campaign, however, as I had found the wesnoth folder on my computer I noted that when I go to .wesnoth1.6/data/campaigns all I can see are the UMCampaigns I have downloaded.
I wanted to use the HttT campaign as an example in WML, is there any way I can see this one or is it supposed to be hidden?

I have an ubuntu 9.04,

thanks beforehand,

ps. I tried to find it in the Wiki and forum, if I per accident overlooked it, I am very sorry for the trouble caused!

Well, the data you're looking for should be in `wesnoth --path`/data/campaigns

I'm not sure if it's on the Wiki, but it is in the man page .

Alright, so it is on the Wiki:

http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/EditingWesnoth

Still, the wiki is a complicated place, so you're not completely at fault for missing this.

Code: Select all

+ wesnoth --path                                                              +

Right-click the Wesnoth-icon, then showing package? (I am not sure in English version) Contents/Resources/data/campaigns/HttT. (on Mac, but I think the same as other operating system.)

P.S. the world you are walking in is more addictive than coffee, I think.

when I go to .wesnoth1.6/data/campaigns all I can see are the UMCampaigns I have downloaded.

That's odd... Wesnoth/data/campaigns/... should contain the folders of the mainline campaigns, while Wesnoth/userdata/data/campaigns should contain the folders with your downloaded (and custom) campaigns.
Are you sure you haven't gone down the "userdata" path?

On Ubuntu, ".wesnoth1.6" *is* the userdata directory. There's no such thing as Wesnoth/data/campaigns or Wesnoth/userdata/data/campaigns, because 'Wesnoth' isn't just one directory. As I stated (clearly, I hope?) the data path is /usr/local/share/wesnoth/data, although this varies depending on how you installed it, so there's the convenient "wesnoth --path" that tells you what the path is.

Userdata is in a whole different place: ~/.wesnoth<version>/data

I'm on Debian, and the game directory is /usr/share/games/wesnoth, so that is also a possibility if you can't find it.

I see. Sorry for the confusion.
