enclave was referring to the layout.
Y it's layout change for some reason... screenshots say it all.. :D

New bugs and/or miracles:
When being in lobby it showed me "end of file" in middle of screen and exit the lobby :) Only happened once so far.

That message informs you that server has crashed.

The client can’t know that the server crashed, only that it’s been disconnected for an unspecified reason.

I’ll look into it since I’ve pointed out the issues with the message several times over the past couple of months and nobody seems to be working on it.

Hello everyone,

It's a very good surprise to find Battle for Wesnoth on Steam and play it again.
Unfortunately, in French language I observe many translation issues in the campaigns and the help/bestiary.

Into the tutoriel and the first campaign for example, there are many text in English.

Where can I report these translation issues?


Moreoever, for the multiplayer mode :
The error message to request an valid account is very unclear... No explanation for how to create an valid account.
During my first test yesterday I presumed an issue with Steam.

Request an account on a website to play in multiplayer in a Steam game is not common.
If it is not explain, it is the best way to push away the new players :'(

I've tested it and litereally everything important in the tutorial, pretty much all the information, is in english.
That's a rather major mistake. :/

EDIT: Tested it for all language. This seems to be solely a problem with the french translation.

But unfortunately nobody changed it, and all the numbers and text are really tiny and hard to see in comparison to default theme. Could somebody change it to match the 1.14 wesnoth sizes? Or could you tell me which file in core I need to modify to do it myself?
The file defining the classic theme is here. If you fix it we may also be interested in integrating the fix into 1.14.1 or 1.14.2.

Yeah I found it, thank you very much (C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle for Wesnoth 1.14.0\data\themes\classic.cfg on windows 7), your link helped a lot.
If i change it successfully I will upload it here (and I'm very very interested in changing it..)

New bug/question/feature:
Weapon special abilities are all shown when you making an attack.. For example it shows backstab even when backstab is not happening..

Its confusing a bit, but it's not a problem until you have a bunch of weapon specials... they all show and make it look messy and stupid like so:

Could it be changed in future? :(

It should be possible (and not particularly difficult) to only show "active" abilities there. Whether it's a good idea, I'm not sure.

I mean, it is available as the first section in the link to the Linux Binaries page.

It's actually a change of the 1.14. series. I never noticed it, but now that I know of it, I did like it better when it only showed "active" abilities there (like it does in 1.12.6). Makes probably for less confusion for newcomers as well. (Backstab and Marksman might be the only mainline relevant abilites?)

Do you mean I could do it myself or you mean you could do it for next updates of 1.14?
I would like to know how to do it myself if its possible..
Well 1.12 already had a bad thing about active/inactive abilities, I don't quite already remember what exactly was I didn't like as a add-on coder, but example was that horseman had his damage doubled on his turn and normal not on his turn.. that was a bit odd.. and I had some issues related to 1.12 in comparison to 1.10
But 1.14 has got rediculously worse in terms of active/inactive weapon specials.. and like somebody else said it will be confusing newcomers as well. But it's not only newcomers, it will be confusing crap even out of me, who plays wesnoth for more than 10 years.. I know how everything works but I will be having doubts and will need to double check to make sure that some ability doesn't count into the damage or chance to hit etc. Not even mentioning my particular case , where inactive abilities just spam the screen with useless and confusing information :(
