vghetto port project

[vghetto]

If no one else has already started doing it, I would try to port The Failing Line to 1.16.

Go for it.

Hi! I just ported to 1.16 the campaign The Failing Line.

The campaign should be fully playable from start to finish, but even though I have corrected the most glaring mistakes, I am not the maintainer of the campaign, and therefore I have not touched the balance of the scenarios, which in some cases is just horrible!

Personally I believe that the author of the campaign has never really tested it, otherwise he would have noticed a lot of nonsense.

Said this, the campaign is positively remarkable for the eccentric story, the demential heroes' temper, a bit of black humor, some portraits and a couple of good ideas in the gameplay of a couple of scenarios.

In my opinion this campaign deserves to have a maintainer ... despite all.

Bye!

Thank you for the port. I updated the main list.

I think these were from 1.12-1.14. Might be worth adding to your list/tools.

Thanks

Which mod gave these errors?
This happens when a unit starts with {IS_HERO} then becomes a canrecruit=yes. It's mentioned in my list, step 13.

The Failing Line.

Glad to see you already have it covered. I saw this on tons of UMC in 1.14, so I wanted to be sure it wasn't missed because it was old.

PS. Thanks to all involved in this project. Your work is appreciated.

Way_of_Dragon uploaded to 1.14 and 1.16. It's an unfinished campaign.

I couldn't find the forum thread.

Code: Select all

Searched query: way of dragon

ignored: way of

eh, thanks.

Way of Dragon

May I request that 'Burning Souls' is added to the list?

I'm also willing to take requests for playtesting. (Some of those ports I'll play anyway since I've played them before and liked them.)

Burning Souls might still be ported by the original author as I recall he made a post about that.

Yes, I actually have polished it up, but a few things are still outdated (namely, the JOURNEY maps). Now that I think about it, it might be best to share, despite some unfinished areas. Feedback's always good, right?

I'm also working on what is more like a new version, in which the story-line and dialogue is redone (and it's historical context is set back a few decades), although the main plot is still very much the same. It wasn't my original intention, but it's grown into something much larger than I had anticipated, and that's mostly just because I've rediscovered the fun of making Wesnoth campaigns

This was in April. No clue if he intends to make a reworked one or not.

The Failing Line.

Way of Dragon

There will be an update phase for this project where I would go over everything that was already uploaded and correct the bugs reported, including spelling mistakes. I haven't started on that yet. Just keep bringing in the feedback

So I wouldn't forget, everything uploaded before Brave_Wings had a problem where I used {IS_EXPENDABLE_LEADER} instead of {IS_HERO}. I shouldn't have done that. I need to fix those as well.
The_Unstoppable_Legion has a [target] that wasn't updated to [goal] either.

Added.

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you very much!

I started porting Across_the_Ocean yesterday and am now in the play/test phase. It'll be what's coming up next.

It's also issue #6258, btw.

Ah, thanks for the workaround solution on that one. It sure makes it a lot easier to fix.

Edit:
Across_the_Ocean uploaded to 1.14 and 1.16.
I haven't chosen what's next. The list is getting longer than shorter

Edit2:
Working on Burning_Souls. An easy port so far.

[Konrad2]

I created a topic for Aldur the Great.

[vghetto]

Burning_Souls uploaded to 1.14 and 1.16.
It has some issues towards the end in regards to the order of leaders killed. I didn't change it.
on 1.16 it will give deprecation warnings about AI_CONTROLLER.

@Konrad2, thanks, I'll update the link!

[Lord-Knightmare]

@vghetto: Can you update the description of Across the Ocean? Description still says "Wesnoth 1.12.0 to 1.12.6"
Same comment for Return of the Monster and Brave Wings. I have meant the description= in the PBL file for clarification.

[Argesilao2]

Well, you can shorten the list by removing tournament_wif_2015; it is not a campaign, but an MP scenario created for one of the tournaments that the deceased and regretted Wesnoth Italian Forum held annually in its golden age (sic transit gloria mundi).

In the meantime, if no one is already working on it, I try to bring the A New Land campaign to 1.16
