Plagued Ones (development stage:coding/publishing)

[Angels Fell First]

The campaign server is the preferred way to distribute your creations, but it is more suited for larger projects. It currently lacks advanced organization features such as filtering and reviewing, so adding hundreds of little things makes it harder to find anything. Basically, the server should not be used to post single maps, units, songs, or artwork, but map packs, campaigns, entire eras, music packs, and unit packs are fine.

Once you are ready to publish, here is how you access the campaign server:

Open Wesnoth
Select "Get Add-ons" from the main menu
Select "Publish Campaign: Your Campaign Name" (the last entry in the list of campaigns)
-This is outdated in 1.2. I don't know what the right one is. Someone who knows the correction should fix it and remove this. -rcamper root
Anything you distribute on the server will be upload from and downloaded to the userdata/data/campaigns directory regardless of what it is (units, maps, campaign, etc). For this reason, you need three things in the campaigns directory to distribute via the server:

A .cfg file, for example MyCampaign.cfg
A .pbl file, for example MyCampaign.pbl
A folder, for example MyCampaign

This is taken from the wiki page.

I have no idea why it says that's outdated in 1.2. It's not, AFAIK.

Here's that a little bit tweaked Plagued Chief I promised a while ago.
Sorry for the delay.

Is this ever going to be updated?

[Tivinu]

Ok as some ppl may know these guys have curretly been on hiatus, i'm picking them back up again (angels fall first, and whats his name wont be until the minos are finished) yes i have permission to use them as i made most of these with angel (i know him personaly) i just didnt use the forum at the time.

I would really appreciate people oppinion on what needs changing, in my mind atm i have:
Contageous Marksman
Vile Hunter upgrade
Creatur of darkness so he looks more plauey
make a butcher
(although it is liekly will make current spawn into butcher, make the sin into the spawn and make the plague cheif into the sin and add a new cheif so the evolution seems less jumpy.)
add stage between Bearer and plague bearer (less jumpy gap)

and other thoughs/things that need changing?

will work on coding once all sprites are made, then will do animation.

Cheers, Tivinu.

(angels fall first, and whats his name wont be until the minos are finished)

minos = ???

[Tivinu]

Quietus used to be workin on these wth us till he started his minotaur faction, their all part of a big era bundle we are working on which atm is, minos, plagued ones and fae/faeire.

[Ryorin]

And what, pray tell, is the basis of an era featuring said three factions. So far as story goes, at least.

[Tivinu]

well technically this isnt the era post, rather the race post. so you'll have to wait till me or Quietus get round to combining all the current fluff and post a general era post. AND as i said ATM its not only 3 races, just is atm, but dw more are planned, and yer they are his standard (ie good) rather than my standard (ie shabby).

as you asked though ill give u a general gist of "a" current idea:
Title: end of a stagnant world
the world which encompases the main factions is a highly divided world, each keep to their own, each paranoid and suspicious of anothers actions. Over the past their has been countless raids, skirmishes, threats and every minour battles. each just raising levels of hatred each race harbours. The world is stuck in a "stagnant" stage of paronia filled with minor conflict which gain nothing but keep the problems going, endless cycles of useless fights are steadily draining the world and its resources. it cannot last longer... somthing must break, and them the floods of war will decend and the world will be plunged into the darkness of war.

if we add a campaign, pref for all races, u start with the usual skirmishes, but are then caught up in the build up until you get to the massive all out war at the end, a huge all vs all for total dominance, how quaint.

THIS is only one idea of many. Quietus will probs have finaly say on the idea, though might through the best ones onto the forum for plls oppinion.

i only put this one up coz its simplest racewise (ie dosnt nessarialy involve unimplemented races).

Tivinu.

oh yer and bak to the point, guys what seriously need improving/ changing on the tech tree? atm i have a new "plagued" skin colour ill posty the image when i done all the units skin.

[Tivinu]

Well as threatnened hes the guys with the current rendition of the plague skin, along with other little bonuses such as the bearer having half a shoe!oh the indignaty and the improved plague bearer - which reminds me the names need a huge overhaul. thats next on the agenda.

the black dashes are for units that need editing/making. [the upgraded archer chap isnt their for now, hes on a major overhaul and the old one wasnt worth recolouring]

[Ryorin]

I honestly like this idea better than the average "Undead," (No offense all you Undead players) for some mysterious reason I like the Plauged Warrior branch's advancement up to the Sin Incarnate. I especially like the idea of the Chief being transformed halfway.

[Tivinu]

sorry guy for the lack of updates, ive had majoy issues with the coding expect them to be more ready in week or so? depends on coursework.... any coders willing to lend a hand i got all the units stats and specials etc...

[AI]

Code: Select all

     author="Tivinu"
     title="Plagued ones"
     icon="units/undead/necrophage.png"
     version="0.0.1"
     description="blah"

throw this into a file named _server.pbl in your campaign's folder (next to _main.cfg)
under the "addons" button in bfw, it should appear with "Publish campaign: " in front of it.

I would like to help out with the coding, but I can't find a (recent) version.

[Sarudak]

I really like the sprites. What era is this supposed to go in?
