RPG Campaign:"Castle of evil spirit" and "add_creature_pack"
This is the feedback thread of the dungeon search RPG campaign "Castle of evil spirit" and the campaign auxiliary add-on "add_creature_pack".
For Wesnoth 1.15.
"Castle of Evil Spirits" is a rogue type single campaign.
・ The old version was for 1.14, but the current version is only for 1.15. The base event (item behavior, etc.) has been significantly rewritten.
・ The player unit can select male or female. ・ Strengthen the unit with items such as weapons and armor.
・ The bow cannot be used without an arrow.
・ The item at the time of discovery is unknown. Check the performance using the Scroll of appraisal.
・ Players cannot recruit soldiers, but instead can use the'Scroll of summon'to summon monsters.
・ Dungeon is automatically generated in a roguelike style. Add-on development status
・ The base event is almost complete.
・ Only one quest is completed.
・ There are still few types of items.
・ Game balance: The balance has not been adjusted yet. Early players are so weak that they may have a hard time.
"add_creature_pack"
Unit package add-on. Package animal and monster units from different eras for appearance in fields and dungeons.
・ The old version was for 1.14, but the current version is only for 1.15.
Advice, suggestions, bug reports etc. are always welcome.

Hello! I decided to give Castle of Evil Spirit a try. I played for a few hours and it was very fun, well designed and seemed pretty balanced! Unfortunately I ran into a lot of bugs and confusion. Here are my thoughts:

Re: RPG Campaign:"Castle of evil spirit" and "add_creature_p
Hello Samonella, Thanks for the bug report.
It was very helpful because I got a detailed report. I am currently fighting with as many bugs as I can not count.
Your suggestions and impressions have also taught me points to be careful about. I added some ideas and improvements to the list.
Well, to practice these ideas later. First, after pulverizing the bug currently being discovered!

Code: Select all
20170904 22:26:49 error config: Multiple [unit_type]s with id=acp_Dire_White_Rabbit encountered.

It took a while to track down because there is no such unit id in Wesband. It's in the add_creature_pack; there are two copies of The Dire White Rabbit, so my local Wesband prototype fails to open because the duplicate unit id is a hard error.

Hello, zaimoni.
Thank you for creating a detailed report.
Wow! I seem to have made a foolish mistake. I uploaded a modified add_creature_pack.

Re: RPG Campaign:"Castle of evil spirit" and "add_creature_p
As a result of continuing work, add_creature_pack collected many units. As the number of units increased, checking available units became not easy.
So I decided to add an HTML-based unit list to the appendix. You can check the unit image and unit name and ID with this.

Re: RPG Campaign:"Castle of evil spirit" and "add_creature_p
"Castle of evil spirit" Version 0.2.0 has been released.
The [object] tag used to change the unit data in the previous version is no longer used from this version. Also, since we fixed the majority of the event, it became incompatible with previous save data.

Re: RPG Campaign:"Castle of evil spirit" and "add_creature_p
It's an interesting campaign. I'm not far enough to write a review yet, just some notes (version 0.2.4):
The file images/units/humans/Sorcerer/B_Sorcerer_mace.png is a Photoshop file, not a PNG.
I've found a ring that gives 'Night vision', but the character that I gave it to still needs a lamp.
When exchanging items between characters, it would be helpful to show each character's loading capacity.
When looking at equipment in a character's backpack, it would be helpful to say "Can be equipped by: (names of characters in your party)", not just that it can or can't be equipped by the current character.
If terrain + parry defence would reduce the chance to be hit below zero, it gets set to 100% instead, so my skirmisher on 70% terrain would always get hit.
The terrain "Down_pit" is similar to the terrains around that map, it's not obvious that that's where the route downwards is.

Currently updating the SurvivalXtreme Collection, and the SXC Pressure scenario. That's about a mermish necromancer, who's just found out that her Tentacles Of The Deep have been nerfed.

Re: RPG Campaign:"Castle of evil spirit" and "add_creature_p
octalot, I appreciate it because you have found many bugs. There were many other bugs, and I was working on it. Perhaps I think I can upload new versions next weekend.
Night vision abilities bugs will be solved in the next version.
Although message display when seeing equipment replacement and backpack was somewhat improved, there are still many problems.
The problem of terrain + parry defence may need to redesign the event. It takes time.
"Down_pit" is definitely hard to understand. I will consider a new graphic.

Re: RPG Campaign:"Castle of evil spirit" and "add_creature_pack"
I made major changes to this add-on and released it in 1.14.
The story event is incomplete so you can not complete the game, but you can explore the dungeons as much as you want.

Re: RPG Campaign:"Castle of evil spirit" and "add_creature_pack"
"Castle of evil spirit" version 0.4.6 has been released.
I think that a fatal bug has disappeared in this version (although there is still a small bug).
I have not adjusted the game balance yet, but if you're lucky you should be able to play the game to the end.
Any responses about this add-on are welcome.

Hello Konrad2.
I could not reproduce the bug.

Re: RPG Campaign:"Castle of evil spirit" and "add_creature_pack"
Konrad 2, Thanks for the report.
I tried it, but that error does not occur in my environment. I am testing on Mac osx wesnoth 1.14.3.
Since I want to know a little more detailed situation, can you get a log until you start an addon and get an error?
