Re: Sigurd's Lua Questions

The thing that immediately comes to mind is this: local q = wesnoth.synchronize_choice(sync_dialog(), nil_func()) You're calling your functions and passing the results, not passing the functions (unlike the example in the wiki). Try local q = wesnoth.synchronize_choice(sync_dialog, nil_func) Instead.

Re: Roar of the Woses

A minor update to address the appearance of the overlay indicating that the unit is special with the torc per the feedback.

At some point I'm going to have to redo the thug recruitment scenario, but that will have to wait until I can come up with an interesting scenario for it.

Re: Hit and Run multiplying itself on lvl-up

See how the feeding ability does it in core.
You'll notice that the event has an id to prevent duplication.

Re: Nooby question

Short answer: The move type for the mounted loyalist units has a negative instead of a positive defense. In such cases, the engine interprets that as a maximum defense for the unit. Historical note: This feature was implemented (or at least first used) to balance bats. The feral trait does exactly t...

Re: Clicking in new development version

The new control scheme is contrary to good UI design. One principle is that basic actions should not require using the right mouse button or holding modifier keys while clicking. Moving a unit is a basic action. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb545459.aspx Apple has no simil...

Re: Issues with 1.11.7

I think 8 is likely related the slider in the right pane capturing the arrow keys when you use them to navigate the map. If you don't mind scrolling with only the mouse, you should be able to avoid that problem. The reason you don't notice it immediately is that the screen doesn't redraw until you c...

Re: I Need The Spectre Of Fire map (Heir To The Throne - 17)

If this is for version 1.11.7, there's a bug that prevents it from being generated. You'll have to go back a version or wait for 1.11.8 (or build your own...). If you decide to switch to another campaign while waiting, don't pick The Sceptre of Fire, it has the same problem.

Re: human vs multiple ai

Which new AI is this? The Strong RCA AI or the Experimental AI? They're noticeably different from each other.

Re: why do we need 2 random generators?

Do you mean at the start of the scenario? Because if the choice is when loading the saved game, then choosing not to randomize by the person loading the game is exactly the problem I'm describing.

Re: why do we need 2 random generators?

I am not sure if I understood it well: Do your proposal means than when a game is saved to be continued later (like in a tgt tournament), players can load game to check what attacks outcomes they will get in next turn following some secuence? If thats case, and I am for it, of course. good point, y...

There is no such event, it's just one of many built-in specials.

Re: Spaghetti code edorsement?

I have read the initial post several times. Kaleh's abilities are currently included as a file at the end of every scenario so make more sense as a separate file (but should really be moved to his unit definition at which point they would go into the same abilities file as the others). Including eve...

Re: Spaghetti code edorsement?

Macro usage and new WML are related. Nested and custom named events are new from the point of view of this campaign. It was originally written with macros only because there was no choice.

Re: Spaghetti code edorsement?

Under the Burning Suns is a rather unfortunate example. It's very old and like most mainline campaigns, has generally only received the minimum amount of attention to keep working (unsurprisingly, if something is working, it's unlikely that someone will fix it just because it could be better). I wou...
