Older unit archive

Nuno · Post by **Nuno** » October 21st, 2006, 5:40 pm

Due to the slow speed of the later versions, I was forced to switch to v1.1.1
The trouble is that I'm having problems with a few units. The "Demilich", for example, has no attributes.
Where can I get the specific archive for that version? I don't need the executable, just the data.

Thanks.

svn.wesnoth.org has links which lead you to all old revisions.

Either directly from the SVN, as torangan suggested, or you could download the various releases from sourceforge:

Go to http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth/. The "trunk" is the current (development) version. In "tags" there are older versions. So if you remember which version it was, just click "tags", the version, and then "images/units" for unit pictures and "data/units" for unit data. Find your file, and there is some "download" link...

Thanks for the replies.

Those links solve my needs, but I'd still like to download the WHOLE data for a specific version. That doesn't seem to be possible there.

Any chance of finding an archive?

I am also new to the SVN, but I was able to download all the data related files for an older version from the svn server. These were the steps:
1.- Install a svn client. The subversion web page has binaries for many OS, check them at http://subversion.tigris.org/project_pa ... y-packages
2.- Open a terminal / command prompt in the folder where you want to download the data
3.- Type something like the following:
svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/wesnoth/tags/1.1.1/data 1.1.1
This will download the files on the data folder of the 1.1.1 version to a new folder called 1.1.1 in the current directory. You can change the version, folder, destination folder as required.

I am sure that the svn has a lot of more options, and you can use a different protocol than http in the svn order, but this order worked for me in order to get a copy of the data.

One more thing: while playing, the game asks for specific files, saying it can't find them, but they are were they're supposed to be.
Is this a known issue, product of these work-in-progress versions?
