Flight to Freedom (drake campaign)

[MadMax]

Spoiler:

in "river of skulls" is it on purpose that the cave nagas can levitate over voids? The way the "objective" script works seems to imply that it's not expecting to see them until the drakes reach the lava, but I encounter them way earlier than that.. as soon as they're seen the objective updates to say "Move Malakar to the western edge of the river of lava". Even weirder though, when I finally DO get to the river the objectives re-update to say simply "explore the river", and the "get west" part vanishes. Even if the cave nagas are intended to fly as easily as the drakes, the objective updating anomalies part is a bug I think. If naga flying IS on purpose, it definitely makes the scenario quite a bit harder.. 1 set of humans, six sets of dwarves, and another set of cave nagas.. even with 100 turns and on the easiest setting I haven't been able to succeed yet. Although perhaps I just don't have a good strategy yet. Update : Ok, I found the right strategy and got passed it.. UpdateAfterUpdate: I've finished the campaign and "river of skulls" was by far the hardest scenario in it.. it's possible it's on purpose as Theracar later calls it a death march but, if not, it might be from imbalance from the levitating nagas.. they seem to be what puts the difficulty a bit over the top

Fixed, FtF 5.1.6.2 released.

It was not intentional for the nagas to be able to leave the lava. They definitely shouldn't now. I also fixed the objectives update code to handle the case in which the naga-sighting event fires before the lava-sighted event. Also, would you consider commenting on FtF's feedback thread?

Thanks. With regards to feedback : Done

I'm doing a second play of it and noticed something :

Spoiler:

When Malakar advances from Drake Lord to Drake Legend, he's still level 3. Presumably this means that his leadership ability remains unchanged. I'm not sure if this is a deliberate balancing choice (perhaps level 4 leadership is too strong in the context of this campaign) or if it's a bug.

It's intentional. Although the leadership level can be set independently from the unit level, it would probably be too confusing to the player to do so.

Spoiler:

The objectives including Burners in Gate of Storms is intentional also - the player doesn't know that they won't work unless he tries it, which triggers the update to not include Burners.

When trying to download this campaign, I got an error message saying "a problem occurred when trying to create the files necessary to install this add-on."

I'm using Wesnoth version 1.11.15 on a Windows 7

I've downloaded several other add-ons so far without any issue, and this one looked really fun to play. I am rather new to the game, though, and could be missing something obvious.

I tried downloading Flight to Freedom directly from the addons website, but when loading up the entire Battle for Wesnoth game, I get the error message "Macro/file '~add-ons/Flight_Freedom/credits.cfg' is missing at campaigns/Flight_Freedom/_main.cfg:52
included from _main.cfg:24"

and then the whole game crashed. I checked the campaign folder and the credits.cfg file was there, so...I have no idea what's going on. Help?

EDIT: Well, turns out I was manually downloading it into the wrong location, since there's a separate folder for add-on campaigns than normal campaigns, so ignore the fancy error message. I had an interesting time finding the right folder, but the campaign works fine now. Still, the work-around was rather odd and you might want to be aware that the normal add-on download via the game's add-ons system didn't work for me.

I'm not sure what content in your spoiler section spoils anything.. spoiler is used when information disclosed would reveal stuff that happens in scenarios, or character development, or other stuff that some people would rather uncover on their own. It's true that I've been using it a lot to explain bugs (or potential bugs, as some of what I"ve mentioned was on purpose), but they've all been in the context of scenario or character content..

Ah, good point, I wasn't paying enough attention when I posted. I'll change that, thanks.

Do you have write permission to Documents/My Games/Wesnoth1.11? If so, this seems like a bug with Wesnoth, since campaigns have no control over the add-on manager's installation process.

kind of an amusing bug :

Spoiler:

I had Kogw pick up the plank/wood In Liberation and in Endgame he's still carrying it around

I didn't have write permission by default. I had to approve it when manually downloading the game into the right folder, so that could be it then.

Spoiler:

Did you fix the bridge with Kogw? If so, did the wood disappear for the rest of the scenario (and presumably come back in Endgame)? I fixed the case (will be in the next update) in which the player picks up the wood and never fixes the bridge, but I'm not sure if there's more to this.

Spoiler:

as I recall he fixed the bridge but then didn't move from the fixing square

[MadMax]

Spoiler:

I noticed in Liberation that the player's recall list is not stored after turn 2 (unlike what the narrator says). Did you need to exploit this to win? If so, I can change the flavor text, otherwise I'll fix it.

FtF 5.1.7 released. Lots of bugfixes and some tweaks.

[octalot]

On Wesnoth 1.13 there's a WML error in the intro, which leaves the view locked for the first scenario. Likely affects 1.13.8 and later, I've only tested with a recent trunk version. It's been described in a thread in the iOS forum, but affects desktop too.
