iPhone version support/feedback thread: Ep. 3

[2151776]

out of question has anyone played kyle's quest 2 on ipod/iphone??? cause i can't find the crimson fire website and i don't think there has been a update in forever

[Iris]

That question doesn't really belong to this thread since this is a Wesnoth forum.

Move on people, nothing to see here.

Hello,
I LOVE this game on my iphone and gave it a 5 star rating. But I have an irregular problem with scenarios crashing that has caused me to have to discontinue playing for a time. For no clear reason, after not playing for a while, I can play again without issues for a day or two then the problems pop up again.

Here's how I notice the problem starts: Loading a saved game will begin to go very slowly (I mean REALLY slowly, like 4 full minutes) when it was seamless previously. Then when I enter the scenario, game play, tap selection and scrolling will start to become very slow and jumpy (30 sec-1min lag). Finally, the application will close before my turn is completed. Right now, this problem is occurring in the "Heir to the Throne - Crossroads" scenario.

System Info:
iPhone 3G
all latest iphone updates installed
817 MB avail
Wesnoth v1.6.3 (I think this is the latest version)
Preferences: Max Auto save 10, Delete auto-saves on victory, Show team colors, skip AI Moves, scroll speed max

I have tried:
restart of game
Hard restart of phone
deleting extraneous apps
loading from previous turn save
turning off extra features in preferences that might slow game play

I have not:
deleted and Re-installed game
turned off wi-fi

Hope this is enough info to help make a fix.

Despite these very frustrating problems, I think this game is the best I've played on iPhone. Complex, interesting, addictive, definitely worth the money I spent on it. Please help so I can continue my Wesnoth addiction!

Any news on the very much needed retina/multitasking update?

[Gambit]

Well he does tend to announce things here. I imagine if there were news it would be here. And seeing as there is nothing here, we can conclude that there is in fact, no news.
Unless it's classified...

Any news on the very much needed retina/multitasking update?

I'm wondering the same thing. I'd love to hear about upcoming updates. It's on sale for 99 cents, so I just made the purchase.

I'd love to see this have full Retina-display support and multitasking at some point.

the game has been crashing alot i don't know if it's just my ipod touch (gen 3) and its not that old either i got it a few weeks ago, it crashes at least once every 2 turns and i lose my progress that wasnt auto-saved, not to mention that a campaign takes over a minute to load. it's an awsome game but it frustrates me that i cant play it properly. any1 got any advice or help on how to stop it crashing?


edit: i just saw som1 who had the same problem as me a few posts earlier with the crashing. please help us i want to play this awsome game!

1) Is there a way to delete games that you have uploaded to http://www.wesnothsync.com? I have uploaded so many games that when I try to download on my iPhone and iPad i have to scroll up/down a few dozen times to find the few files I want. I have lots of uploaded files that I would like to remove (scenario auto-saves that I completed a while ago, etc). If http://www.wesnothsync.com could be accessed via ftp/scp/rsync/svn that would be very cool!


2) Also, it seems there is a bug when trying to download games on the iPhone when you have a large amount of uploaded games. When I touch a game to download, it does not select it nor download if it is near the top of the file list. I have to scroll all the way down to the very bottom and select/download that game file, then scroll up some, select/download file, scroll up some more, select/download, repeating until the desired game file is visible on the list then I am able to select/download the game file.

I'm using a 2nd generation iPod Touch. I click 'Load' from the main menu, and I'm presented with a list of saved games. Two issues with this dialog box:

The scroll bar to the right does not work (doesn't scroll when dragged, freezes the menu).
The 'OK' button which is used to load the selected game doesn't respond, so effectively I can't load any saved games at all! Very frustrating for an old time wesnother

Also, question. Is Wesnoth going to be updated to support the new Retina Display on the iPhone 4 and new iPod Touch? You could increase the resolution of the map + units and redesign the UI maybe?

hello there.

Does anybody knows how to connect to a specific server?

On the iPhone port from the main menu, when I choose multiplayer, it goes straight to some server, I don't get an option to connect to a specific server...

Does anybody knows what is the default server in the iPhone port? or if I can play in a local server, running a wesnothd v.1.6 in some machine on my LAN?

thx in advance
Miguel

Generally, there's only one server for Wesnoth. You could theoretically set up other servers for private use but really everyone goes to the official server. I'd assume that the iPhone port leads to the official multiplayer server (though perhaps a dedicated server could be set up instead, the iPhone players can't chat after all).

[migmruiz]

Zerovirus, your assumption was write. The iPhone port leads to the official multiplayer server.

I think it would be nice to play in a local server, running a wesnothd v.1.6 in some machine on my LAN, because it is not everywhere that I can connect to the internet.

thank you

Using itouch:

Skirmish: Scroll down to Random map, all random maps applicable

Underneath Use map settings is the box to change settings on the random map generator but i cannot tap the button because it is flush with the bottom of the screen. Is it possible to have this window scrollable? Im sure the button works i just cant access it.

Thank you for reading.

[Gunxsword]

Very weird problem, kinda ironic too:

I am connect to the server (otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the file...), but yeah...
I've restarted the app and my phone in every possible way, and tested the download on my computer, which worked without a hitch.

anyone know if there are plans to add Delfador's Memoirs to the iphone port? the game is amazing and have spent many hours playing through it, just about finished all the campaigns and noticed that this mainline campaign wasn't included in the iphone port. I will likely play it on the pc but it's really nice to be able to start a game on the pc and take it with you to finish on the road on your iphone and vise versa.
