Wesnoth 1.10.5 for iphone/ipad & source code is out now!

[dailin]

Found something else.

If you double tap to pull up in game help. The "ok" for selecting one of the topics is outside the screen range on n iPhone 5 so you can't select it. Basically have to force quit the app I think.

There is only "Close" button in game help. Could you give me a screenshot?
ps: New version will be uploaded to appstore next week

Ok so went back and had another look. It appears that the regular help found within the menu from top left works ok and everything is accessible.

But, I was playing an addon "legend of the invincibles" and if u double tap on a tile in that campaign. Another help appears "LOTI help". I think it's hints and tips specific to this campaign. Anyway I haven't been able to replicate the "ok" being outside the screen anymore. But if I do go into some of the tabs to get help within this menu, the game crashes.
So this is a help menu specific to the addon and not the general help menu.
Can do without it, and I understand that addons can have their dramas so don't worry about it.
I had previously thought I was within the main help menu but turns out I was in this specific campaign menu. No big deal.

We'll see if the update that he's working on directed as solving add-on issues resolves the issue.

On a somewhat related note: Dailin, I was looking at the resolution of some of the devices, and for example, the iPhone 5's resolution is 1,136 × 640.
I don't know much about iPhone app writing, but can you set a higher resolution for the devices that support it? I'm guessing at that resolution the tiles might be too small, but just a stray thought I had.

I'm loving the current release, I've been telling all my friend with iphones/ipads they need to pick it up. Hope sales are going well for you

He's working on the add-on issue right now. ironing out the bugs for scrolling those large text boxes.

Wesnoth game engine is SDL 1.2 which don't support iphone retina screen, so iphone5's resolution is only 568 X 320 in our games.
I tried to use SDL 2.0 which support retina screen to replace SDL 1.2 two mouths ago,but i got tooooo much errors that i don't know how to fix.

yay for new version!

It's too bad about the resolution thing, but that's understandable. We still love you. lol. so what's on the change log for this new release? I feel like Christmas came early

[Jrivenonathan]

I have a bug to report. At the end of the second scenario in THoT, (the second one is all talking) there is a "Finished" window, which tells you the carryover percentage, ect. At the bottom of the window, there is a button that says "close". If you tap on it, iwesnoth crashes every time. I have an iPod touch 4th gen.

Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Does anyone know if you delete an addon do you lose the saved data from that addon or does it stay and you can reinstall that addon and still have that saved data

I've not verified, but I believe that save games stay, but all other save data is deleted, such as settings etc...

[8680]

As far as I know, uninstalling an add-on does not delete its data. Saved games remain in place; and if an add-on has settings or other data, they would be stored in its game saves or in persistent variables, which I don’t think are cleared unless the add-on says to clear them, which it can’t if it’s uninstalled.

As far as I know, uninstalling an add-on does not delete its data.

This is correct in mainline Wesnoth, and I’d suspect it is in this port as well given the amount of work that would be necessary to associate all that volatile data to individual add-ons in the first place.

More elaborate explanation veering into off-topicness that doesn’t really matter for players and is only here for reference:

Saved games do not store anything about add-ons beyond the scenario id, campaign id, and campaign or multiplayer preprocessor symbol. The first one is not reliably unique across single-player add-ons, or even multiple campaigns provided by the same add-on. The campaign id and preprocessor symbol are a bit more unique, but still not fully reliable since it is possible to trick the preprocessor into conditionally including different content with the same campaign preprocessor symbol, and the id is mostly used for state tracking. Multiplayer scenarios by convention need to choose unique ids lest they clobber each other when they are parsed by the game engine, but it is also possible to trick the preprocessor here. The only invariably unique thing about every add-on is the add-on directory name (or loader .cfg file name for people using old-style add-ons), which is enforced at the operating system level. Unfortunately, this information is not tracked when loading campaigns or scenarios and all that the game really sees is a big flat WML document.

Such are the usability shortcomings of the hyperflexible add-ons system. I could go on about it for hours if this topic were all about this particular subject.

[dailin]

so what's on the change log for this new release?

1. Fix add-ons bug
2. Add mutilanguages package.
3. Update to 1.10.5.

Ps: I am so sorry that i rm ios menu style feature becasue there are some bugs which i need more time to fix.

Does anyone know if you delete an addon do you lose the saved data from that addon or does it stay and you can reinstall that addon and still have that saved data

I test "The Roar of the Wose" addon, I play "The Roar of the Wose" and save game, then i rm this addons,the save is still exist，but maybe lost something data not be saved in saved data.

Good documentation！Thanks you

so what's on the change log for this new release?

1. Fix add-ons bug
2. Add mutilanguages package.
3. Update to 1.10.5.

Ps: I am so sorry that i rm ios menu style feature becasue there are some bugs which i need more time to fix.

What exactly was fixed with add-ons? IS this with the crashing from the story being to long or is this something else that was wrong with them?
