The Dark Master Project

[hermestrismi]

Some campaigns I uploaded recently contain the signature This campaign is a part of The Dark Master Project

'about the idea

It's an idea I began some months ago and consistent on:
-creation of a big (normal to hard difficulty ) campaign (about 30 scenarios) and with many heroes besides of the main protagonist (phase one is done. phase two is about graphic works and improvement and it is slowly going),
- selecting some old unfinished (not necessarily) campaigns (1.0, 1.2 and maybe 1.4),
- adding and modifying events to make the campaign coherent with TDM universe,
- the added campaign can be played separately with no dependence to TDM but its protagonist is also one of the heroes of TDM so he will have the same protagonist on TDM (stat, items and advancement) if finished (and also he will have an assistant),
- the added campaign give the full history of the hero and the events give us a coherent history.
So, the idea is to revive old campaigns instead of creating new ones, revive old graphic and music work that their creators was forgotten (if possible) and creating a coherent history without damaging the main wesnoth history and make the player feel that his hero is part of a big puzzle and not a hero for one single mission .

I hope you liked the idea . I am open to any suggestion and I hope you understand that my graphic skills and technical abilities are not really big so I count on your feedback and helps

[hermestrismi]

unfortunately, my computer is dying right now so it will be hard to continue other mid-work planned tasks.
Right now, I try to fix it but it's unlikely that it can be saved.
damned blackout of electricity in my city cost my refrigerator and my only way of entertainment ...

[hermestrismi]

version "0.1.3e" to "0.1.7"
- minor balancing and few new portraits
"0.1.7a"
- fixing a bug
- three new units (a new mage and elvish wyvern line)

yes, you have right. Unfortunately, I have also 3 other msg about deprecated macros (foreach, next and filter_attack: special) but I can't upload an update right now because last time I did, I missed up many thing and I had to reload version and check every campaign related to TDM.
I need to finish my current work (phase 2 on RotL chapter III than return and those problems, so you need to ignore the message until the next update.
also, I have a message I don't understand :

do you have an idea about it?
