After the Storm 1.0.0 [Wesnoth 1.18.x & 1.19.22+]

[Artrag]

I have reinstalled Wesnoth after a long time and replayed This campaign since I had fond memories of it. I was pleasantly surprised to see Igor this Time. It always amaze me to see how much efforts and details went in such projects. Like the differents little dialogues when you select the barrels With the heroes… I don’t know it it mean anything, but I created an account just to Thank the author for This hard work. Thank you for al the fun I had, both in the past and right now !

[Iris]

Invasion from the Unknown version 2.2.0 and After the Storm version 1.0.0 are out now.

Please see the announcement post on IftU's thread for most of the information applying to both campaigns that you need to know.

While I've considered AtS to be feature-complete since as early as version 0.9.0, the main criterion that kept me from labelling it version 1.0.0 all these years is the fact that most of the characters introduced in AtS lack speaking portraits of their own. Given that this is a problem I'm unlikely to solve in the short term, and the 0.x versioning risks causing players to distrust the playability of the content before even hitting the Download button, I decided to take the plunge and start the 1.0.x version series with this release, originally slated to be v0.11.0. I also believe that achieving full Wesnoth 1.18 support makes this a good point to start the 1.0.x series, since Wesnoth 1.18 is probably the most technically mature version of Wesnoth to date with its many under-the-hood changes.

••••

I believe that's pretty much everything that you need to know. While I managed to rush to squash many bugs over the past few weeks—thanks to Konrad2, Lord-Knightmare, mithc, and Roge_Tebnelok for your work reporting them!—I expect there to remain a lot more to be found, especially if you play on 1.19.x. Make sure to report anything that seems broken, and have fun!

The complete changelog for the bundled version of Naia follows:

Code: Select all

Version 20260330:
-----------------
* Lua and WML library:
  * Added `HERO_MARKERS` and `UNHERO_MARKERS` family of macros to handle hero
    unit markers more consistently (IftU issue #84, AtS issue #112, Naia issue
    #51)
  * `[apply_amlas] amla_ids=` allows enumerating AMLAs to apply by id to avoid
    including the original AMLA WML tags wholesale.
  * `[apply_amlas]` now matches on recall list units as well.


Version 20260329:
-----------------
* General:
  * First fully-supported Wesnoth 1.18 release, supporting Wesnoth 1.17.23 and
    later; as well as Wesnoth 1.19.22 through 1.20.x.
  * Removed all compatibility code for Wesnoth 1.15.13 and earlier.
  * Implemented a modification blacklist to prevent starting/loading games
    with incompatible modifications enabled (currently unused). This is meant
    to report add-ons which the player should disable rather than outright
    remove.
  * Cleared add-on blacklist.

* Graphics:
  * New or updated unit graphics: Shaxthal Drone, Shaxthal Assault Drone,
    Shaxthal Sentry Drone, Fire Wisp (verbatim port from 1.19.20).
  * Added fire effect from Animated Weather and Scenery.

* Lua and WML library:
  * Add `[variable_is_multiple]` WML conditional tag.
  * `[setup_doors]` now always excludes terrain overlays used for open doors
    (ending in `o`) .
  * Add `[unselect_unit]` WML action.
  * Add `[open_doors]` WML action to switch gate terrain to its open version.
  * Add `[variable_exists]` WML conditional tag.

    completed.
  * Added comma-separated list support to `[remove_object] object_id=`.

* Terrains:
  * Removed obsolete Earthy Rockbound Cave terrain.
  * Removed obsolete Snowy Great Tree and Dead Great Oak Tree terrains.
  * Incorporated Event Flag overlays from AtS.
  * Updated Wasteland terrain graphics.
  * Made it so single-tile gaps in the mainline Mine Rail terrain are filled
    when the gap terrain is a gate or impassable overlay.

* User interface:
  * Updated `[bug]` UI.
  * Story text utilities now use resolution-independent text scaling to avoid
    impossibly tiny captions on high DPI/Retina devices.
  * Fixed a major issue with the fallback unit selection system in `[message]`
    (e.g. used to select a character to speak on behalf of undead units)
    causing most uses of WML variables to break entirely within `[option]`.
  * Reworked `[color_adjust]` screen effects to use `[screen_fade]` internally
    instead.
  * Added debug UI utilities to the context menu in maintainer mode when debug
    mode is enabled.
  * New campaign intro warning UI.
  * New Journey Log system.
  * New gameplay mechanics info UI.
  * New achievements notification UI.
  * Reworked objectives UI macros for consistency and increased readability
    across all campaigns.
  * Fixed extra healing sound when units get healed by glyphs.
  * Healing glyphs now use the item pick-up UI instead of `[message]`.

* Terrains:
  * Added Dark Hive Facility, Dark Hive Vent, Dark Hive Heatsink.

* Units:
  * Switched all units, abilities, and weapon specials to the 1.16 special
    notes syntax.
  * Character AMLAs other than Vitality are now always shown in the Advance
    Unit dialog rather than automatically selected even if they are the last
    available advancement.
  * Updated Fire Wisp to use stats from its mainline version in 1.19.20:
    * HP increased from 11 to 13.
    * XP decreased from 40 to 18.
    * Cost decreased from 12 to 5.
    * Melee damage decreased from 4-3 to 3-2.
  * Removed obsolete Fire Wraith backport.
  * Removed obsolete Giant Ant unit.
  * Faeries' movement cost and defense on deep water and unwalkable terrains
    now match the Wesnoth 1.18 stats for Elvish Shyde and Sylph.
  * Elynia's movement cost on deep water water and unwalkable terrains is now
    slightly worse than new cost for faeries, while her defense is the same as
    theirs. This is meant to reflect the fact that she's not good at floating
    too far off the ground without compromising the new strategical
    expectations of her broader unit class in Wesnoth 1.18. Thanks once again,
    Wesnoth devs /s.
  * New stealth ability.
  * New tactician ability.
  * Removed ambush ability from Elvish Prowler.
  * Added stealth ability to Elvish Prowler.

    * Intended to be used by IftU and AtS.
  * New malice ability.
  * New unit line: Archaic Lich (advances to Undying Eradicator).
    * Uses a custom AMLA system instead of regular unit line progression.
    * Intended to be used by IftU and AtS.
  * New unit type: Tenebrous Everbane.
  * Fixed sylvan spark and similar abilities not taking mushroom terrains into
    account properly.

Hello! I appreciate your response, first of all I love the campaigns in Spanish and especially that they relate to each other, but at least in my opinion... the ending was strange (forced) and bitter.

It is understood that Hekuba orchestrated everything from part 1 up to that moment, along with gaining power thanks to the copy of the heart, but to be defeated by killing the elf's clone... strange and bitter.

Aside from that, I am experiencing a "bug."
I can achieve achievements, but when I close the game and play later, those achievements disappear (the ones related to obtaining weapons or items).


PD:It would be nice if in the missions where you handle 2 sides there was an option for one of them to be controlled by the AI. Honestly, I completed all the campaigns in less than 10 days... and when you have to control 2 sides, it makes me want to skip the level directly, it gets tedious.
PD2:Definitivamente me da ganas de ir al modo debug y saltearlo,es muy tedioso manejar 2 bandos,son gustos claramente,pero al menos a mi se me hace aburrido ir 3 misiones seguidas usando 2 bandos.

PD3:en la mision "paso de las penas" antes de salir nos da la opcion de revisar si hay algo mas, no es la primera vez que ocurre en un mapa donde no hay nada, en este caso lo unico que encontre fue el baston del liche(que es obvio) y una pocion,luego nada mas¿entonces por que nos lo pregunta?

Hola! en la mission "fuego oscuro" cuando quedo a solas con ELYSA el mapa se queda trabado(no me deja moverlo),y cuando se mueve elissa tras el ataque explosivo de la elfa, se va a una esquina la cual no puedo llegar a ver ni mover al personaje.
Fui al modo de depuracion y pasar al siguiente nivel a ver si se arreglaba o cerrarlo/abrir el juego pero sale "not suported bug" y no me deja proseguir por dicho problema

Necesito saber la versión de Wesnoth que estás usando, así como la lista de modificaciones que tienes activadas si es ese el caso. Una partida guardada de antes de que produzca el defecto inicial sería ideal. (El problema causado por saltar escenarios en ciertos puntos de E3S6 - E3S13 en el modo de depuración es normal y esperado.)

Aside from that, I am experiencing a "bug."
I can achieve achievements, but when I close the game and play later, those achievements disappear (the ones related to obtaining weapons or items).

I figured out while implementing achievements that if Wesnoth closes abnormally (this includes using ctrl+c / SIGINT on Linux and macOS) the achievement progression is not saved to disk, unlike the preferences data. This is a general game bug/design oversight and not a campaign bug, I've just not found the time to report it. Anyway, I presume that there's something about the way you close the game that isn't quite ordinary.

Hola! tengo la version 1.19.22, no tengo ninguna modificacion como tal en el juego/campaña y si sirve de dato no saltee escenarios en modo depuracion, si intente tras el error ocurrido probar mediante dicho modo si escenarios post persistia,actualmente volvi 3 escenarios atras y ando intentando pasarlo de nuevo para ver cual pudo ser el detonante, de saber algo te lo comunico.
quiza algo ocurrio en el escenario mismo donde es el "mismo" dividido en varias partes.

Luego sobre el tema logros,es algo raro en si por que cierro mediante barra de tareas y desaparecen,luego aparecen jaja.

PD:Muchas gracias por tan genial campaña pese a cosas que me dejaron intrigado,si me dejo con sabor amargo la muerte de galas y mal,pero justamente eso es lo increible dar a entender en la campaña como somos parte de un sistema y no necesariamente existe un final feliz,sos crack.

[fnmallo]

Ahi probe iniciando de cero el nivel, la primera parte y segunda todo normal, el asunto empieza cuando abro la puerta e inicia la tercera parte(cuando queda sola con elysa)directamente dice "not suporter" y arranca el desliz jaja. lo peor que me quedo con la intriga de como queda toda la aventura u.u.

Creo haber descubierto el problema. Sería muy ideal si puedes postear una partida guardada de justo antes (o alternativamente justo después) de que Elynia pase por la última puerta del área Abandoned Council Chamber en el piso 2 del escenario (este es el punto de transición al escenario en que se enfrenta a Elyssa). Lo más importante es que sea un partida guardada de antes de que Elyssa aparezca en el mapa.

Alternativamente, puedes probar a ejecutar el siguiente comando en modo de depuración justo antes de gatillar el evento que hace que Elyssa aparezca:

Code: Select all

turn 1

Después de ejecutarlo, el escenario debería funcionar correctamente, pero debe ser ejecutado en el área de Elyssa durante el mismo turno en que causas su aparición.

EDIT 2026-04-10:

Intenté reproducir el problema por mis propios medios en la futura versión 1.19.23, sin éxito. Me da la impresión de que hay un problema con el estado del juego en tu partida pero no estoy segura de cómo surge ese problema en primer lugar. Reitero que necesito una partida guardada de antes de que se produzca el defecto para poder entender exactamente qué está funcionando mal.

[Otdoy]

Well, I completed episode 1 of AtS using BtW 1.19.22. Didn't run into any bugs other than the very minor one I mentioned on github.

I would say, however

Spoiler:

Compared to the rest, the final boss sequence was insanely difficult. After I dispatched the first wave of big baddies, my six units were all low on health. And there appears the queen! Along with units that spawn-move-attack right away? Uhhh.... okay.

I honestly would have to replay it several times over to try to find a winning strategy. As it was, I barely made it through even using debug -> kill unit on ALL the spawns. Curious if others have had a winning result the first time through.

Starting episode 2

[Otdoy]

Just finished episode 2, no bugs encountered.

In contrast to episode 1,

Spoiler:

the final boss fight was way too easy this time! I had lots of gold, lots of strong units and the sprites I recruited did a bang-up job against the baddie minions. It was all over very quickly.
