Re: Deeds of Sir Swine - new GSE campaign!

Last month I abandoned this campaign on scenario 2, as it was too hard. But not only because it was too hard. The 2nd scenario seemed like it hadn't been play-tested. It probably was, but it didn't seem like it. I like the GSE sprites, so after some time passed, I decided to give the campaign anothe...

Re: Which Multiplayer Era is the most creative?

I decided to assess "creativity" by one simple metric: the visual coolness of sprites. After looking at all the sprites, I voted for Era of Magic. Here are the units I thought were especially cool and creative: the hydra, the cyclops, the purple orb of electricity, the elementals, the gole...

Re: Can AMLAs inherit [effect]s?

I probably wouldn't try to do anything so complicated with AMLAs, but if somebody put a crossbow to my head this is how I might approach the problem. I would give the unit in question a variable to track the chosen AMLAs. There are only so many possible variations of effects, after all. I would use ...

I just realized something.

All my campaigns are written in pseudo-code in WML style.

Re: Volunteering to spruce up the dialogue in one particular campaign

Enjoy, and feel free to critique. Okay, here's my critique. I compare sentence to sentence. The mainline dialogue is blue and the revised dialogue red. Mainline: Twenty years into her rule, Asheviere turned her attention to the wood elves living in the great forest southwest of Wesnoth, whom she de...

Re: Eastern Invasion, Revised (1.17) - Looking for Playtesters!

Ok, in the next version (coming in the next couple weeks, once achievements are supported) I've changed it so that if any player unit is on top of the trapdoor when it opens, you get a choice to enter immediately (and win) or to wait and enter later. Hopefully that should solve the issue! A choice?...

Re: why can not change income

Base income and income are two different things. I don't use lua for changing income. I do this:

Code: Select all

    [side]
		side=1
		gold=150
		income=3 #            bonus added to base income 2
		village_gold=2 #      default=1	
		...etc.
    [/side]
I'm not sure if this helps. Good luck.

Re: 1.16 Campaign: A Rough Life - version 1.2.9

Made it all the way to scenario 11 before being defeated by numerous undead.

This was a good campaign. I'm glad it's being maintained.

Re: 1.16 Campaign: A Rough Life - version 1.2.9

It isn't an automatic win. Thanks for the explanation. I think scenario 1 might benefit from a little re-working. Some players might quit the campaign on turn 16, like I did. The scenario could simply end on turn 15, like I thought it would. After turn 15, not much happens anyhow. My leader simply ...

Re: 1.16 Campaign: A Rough Life - version 1.2.9

Scenario 1: The objective explained that if my leader survived until turn 15, I would win. Yet here it is, turn 16, and the game continues. My leader is level 1, and my army consists of a single 0-level unit, and I have no gold, and 28 enemy units are closing in, and I'm trapped on an island. This i...

...But the reason that convention got popular... In my opinion, "#$!#%" seems a bit too modern, like something you'd see in a Spider-Man comic. Also, "#$!#%" is always a little funny. Imagine Gandalf saying to Bilbo, "Where did you get that "#$!#% ring?" This is w...

Re: Hide HP-XP-overlays with lua

This is not Lua... Maybe use [unit_type] to create duplicate units, then change the bar_offset_x, bar_offset_y to put the bars so far off the map that they are not visible, and also turn off halo, ellipse or whatever. Also, if you simply want a unit standing on the map without their information feat...
