wesnoth update?

It's included in the package, namely in the game data: /data/core/tools. Note that it's not an app, but a python script you run on the file. Search for it if you need help, it might be confusing at first.

Read and understand...

I don't know anything about python scripts

Oh come on guys. You could at least point him in the right direction. You tell him to search; but not where?

I found these two articles that might be helpful for you.

Honestly though; if you're an add-on creator, I've found it's easier just to manually update things.

and how can I run it on maps? it is no executable file.

I'm no add-on creator but I would like revive nice old add ons. I don't know how to write any add on.

[monochromatic]

Okay. I don't know what OS you are using, but I'll tell you how I do it. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.

Code: Select all

Open Terminal
cd into the directory where the the targeted file is
Then run "python /Applications/Wesnoth.app/Contents/Resources/data/core/tools/wmllint file.cfg"

Done.

Reviving add-ons requires you to invest lots of time, without wmllint it's much worse, and to become a half-advanced wml author being able to run wmllint.

I've installed Python, and now?

wmllint starts like this...

#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# wmllint -- check WML for conformance to the most recent dialect
#
# By Eric S. Raymond April 2007.
#
# All conversion logic for lifting WML and maps from older versions of the
# markup to newer ones should live here. This includes resource path changes
# and renames, also map format conversions.

I have WinXP. The Directory is: C:\Spiele\Battle for Wesnoth 1.8.4\data\tools\wmllint

Apparently I hit quote instead of edit. Read the post below this.

[Gambit]

cd C:\Spiele\Battle for Wesnoth 1.8.4\Data\tools\
python wmllint url-to-cfg-file-to-be-wmllint'ed

^Those go in the command line

You please read the "A convenient way of running wmllint" section in the wiki that Gambit has linked to, it is intended to solve the questions you have.

syntax error. Python accepts no command I try.

syntax error. Python accepts no command I try.

You are more likely to get help with this by copy/pasting the exact commands you tried and the exact output you got.

[new2]

don't works. ctrl+v produces ^V. I made the right command you've written. There stands only >>> and everything I do is wrong. I also can't change any directory.

[Unnheulu]

Try CTRL+Shift+V. That's used instead in the gnome/xfce terminal (CTRL keys are often used by some curses applications, ie nano).
