Campaign descriptions

Post by caranha »

Just a quickie:

Maybe there should be a small paragraph, or a tooltip, describing briefly each campaign on the "start new campaign" dialog.

For instance:

HttT: "Help young Konrad and the sage Delfaldor to overthrow the Evil queen
Asheviere and restore peace to Wesnoth. (BfW's main storyline, try playing this first)"

TRoW: "Follow prince Haldric in his adventures that led to the creation of the wesnothian kingdom!"

Etc...

(just two examples b/c these were the two campaigns I have played so far. The campaign creators will probably come with better short descriptions)

Cheers

If it is not release will be postponed or feature will be removed/disabled.

Great. Now only if they were translatable.
-std::string font_name = "Vera.ttf";
+std::string font_name = "Bepa-Roman.ttf";

Sure, and indeed they are. There is just no strong urge to update the pot file until all campaigns have a good description. The one I put for HttT was only meant as an example of use, so please (campaign designers) don't feel like you have to follow the same dull style.

And everyone... feel free to suggest good descriptions. :)

EDIT: and may I add that campaign images would be welcome too (beware, though, that space is limited)
