Getting rid of the wreath after beta testing

Post by Stupidbro »

So, I recently finished building my own campaign (yay!!! 🎉🎉🎉) but noticed that whenever you finish playing a campaign, which I did several times in development, it forever leaves a golden wreath around the campaign icon. Is there any way to get rid of it without simply changing the id of the campaign?

Usually few folders up from your addon folder. For some OS it might be elsewhere, like ~/.config instead.

Still can't find it. A directory would be more helpful

In the latest versions of Wesnoth, click the 'i' button at the bottom-left of the title screen, and it will show all of the paths. The preferences file is in the 'Configuration' folder.

No dice. I don't have a late enough version to have the i button, and I can't find a "configuration" folder.

Erm, are you using 1.12 instead of 1.14? If so, is there some bug in 1.14 that means it doesn't work on your PC?

In 1.12, I think the list of paths is in "Preferences, General, Paths".

... I'm starting to get a bit confused. I'm pretty sure, if Wesnoth is being updated pretty regularly, that I have something much older than "1.12"
1) When the game is opened, it says "Version 1.8.2" in the bottom left corner.
2) Are we talking about a directory in the game, or a directory when you go into the game's files? I've been working off the assumption of the latter, but it might explain a bit if we're not talking about the actual files.

And no, even working off the former, no dice again. There's nothing to indicate anything about getting rid of the wreath. I also want to clarify something; I want to get rid of the wreath on the one campaign, not on all the campaigns.

I'm using 1.8.2 because I have no way of updating Wesnoth on the system I've got it on (I'm not even entirely sure how my family got it in the first place) and I think the OS is a Windows Vista. Whatever it is, it hasn't seen Internet in a long time...

1.8 does have indeed no button in the UI for looking it up.
Though it shows which paths are used in the terminal output, you could launch wesnoth from a console. IIRC, if you right-click on a the application launcher, you can open the properties, and there the path of the executable is shown. Then you could launch cmd.exe, and navigate with the cd command to said path and launch wesnoth with .\wesnoth.

On another note, does someone know how to use wesnoth without installing? Does something like extracting the installer and launching the executable without installing work? Extracting with which tool btw… If you miss admin privileges, but have an USB stick laying around for getting wesnoth…
Try out the dark board theme.

Shiki, try asking this on discord or on the tech support forums. A drive-by comment in the WML Workshop forum might not reach the right audience.

At lest on windows the installer does not require admin privileges if you insall to a non restricted location like somehere inside you user diurectory Iirc.
Scenario with Robots SP scenario (1.11/1.12), allows you to build your units with components, PYR No preperation turn 1.12 mp-mod that allows you to select your units immideately after the game begins.
