Diplomatic Mission

[Pollution]

Hi everyone!
This is my first attempt at making a campaign in Wesnoth.

It's about a Dark Elven Prince sent on a diplomatic mission by his father, but what are the true reasons behind it?
It takes place during an unspecified period in Wesnoth.

I would like some feedback, especially for the dialogues and the story, as English isn't my first language (and accents are hard to write... ).
It might take me some time to reply to you, but I'll do my best to be quick.
Thank you for your time!

Scenario 01_Darth_Syntax

row 6 is: map_data="{~add-ons/WML_Guide/maps/01_Darth_Syntax.map}"
must be change with: map_data="{~add-ons/Diplomatic_Mission/maps/01_Darth_Syntax.map}"

It might be interesting to animate the fires and put a sound source.

Scenario 02

The profile images of Akaanir and his father are very similar; I think you can improve the dialogue's aesthetics putting one profile on the right side of the screen when a character speak.

Scenario 03_Shipwrecked

After the encounter of Akaanir and Edwin objective become: Reach Edwin's Camp; well, where this camp is? It's odd Edwin don't know where his own camp is.

Hi, it's still me!
I just wanted to say that I have read the feedback you gave me and I am slowly fixing the campaign. Unfortunately, school has kept me very busy during these weeks, but now I have more time and I promise that in the next update I'll put some new scenarios.

P.S. I have recuited my brother to help me with this and he insisted I thanked him here. So, thanks you, themage, for annoying me until I do what I should do.

Hi, I am the brother of the author, Pollution.

We know how to fix the problem, but my sister can't make an update right now, because school is taking up all of her free time . She'll try to make make an update and to add new scenarios as soon as she can but it will probably take a while.

I noticed this topic and decided to try to run the campaign on Wesnoth 1.16.1.
That's my first suggestion: while you still are on the initial development stages of the campaign, you should move to the new 1.16 series, instead of being stuck on the 1.14.
The second problem is that there are a lot of missing macros errors that prevented me from starting the campaign.

Code: Select all

After fixing those, I got several non-fatal warnings in the stderr (do you know how to check it for errors on your system?) that should be fixed. Some of these are specific to 1.16, like the SPECIAL_NOTES and Giant Ant ones:

Then, in the Shipwrecked scenario, after ending the first turn Wesnoth got stuck in an infinite loop (maybe caused by some AI stuff?). It forced me to kill the game from the terminal; however, I'm not sure why apparently this didn't happen to Argesilao2 on the 1.14 series.
Finally, you're using "DM" as your campaign's abbreviation and "#wesnoth-dm" as textdomain. These are both referring to the mainline campaign Delfadors' Memoirs, so to avoid confusion I'd suggest you to change them.
