li'sar the disco queen

[El_Tritoma]

whose idea was it to make li'sar into the disco queen? they should be ashamed. please change it back pronto. not even going to mention that it is hugely distracting.

You mean the tiara and hair-do? Yes, it's silly, isn't it. Reminds me of this:

They changed the sprite eight years ago already.

i am referring to the rotating sparkly circles. maybe you haven't seen it yet since it just happened with the latest release.

Oh, no, I have not seen it.
She must resemble even more the character I posted. (She summons disco ball and confetti).

this is the kind of stuff that gives war- , strategy- and fantasy games a bad name. i am old enough to remember when ken and barbie were introduced, and still young enough to get very upset about it.

I thought maybe this thread was part of our AI future, but El_Tritoma is right, the Princess unit has four sparkles spinning around.

I'll file a bug report if there isn't one already, this needs to be reconsidered.

Seems it is related to the "initiative" ability. You can remove it by commenting out or deleting line 13 in
wesnoth/data/campaigns/Heir_To_The_Throne/utils/abilities.cfg

Code: Select all

#halo_image_self="misc/firststrike-1.png:100,misc/firststrike-2.png:100,misc/firststrike-3.png:100"

Something similar probably needs to be done to savefiles if she is already on the map or recall list.

EDIT: bug report at https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/10271

thank you. i have been playing wesnoth about as long as it has been on a mac, and this is the first time i have felt compelled to complain about something, so obviously everyone is doing something right. now if they can just fix the cursor in the file window, it is off about half a space to the left; this bug seems to come and go; i hadn't noticed it in a while and then it came back with the second to last release.

there are sparkly circles (one each, upper right) on the level 2 wose shamans in Delfador's Memoirs, ScenarioThorodor. Slightly different, only one, more filled in than Li'sar's, but just as annoying and completely unnecessary. Somebody has had way, way too much time on their hands.
