Re: Drakes - some thoughts on Drake society, biologie and origin

Why would it make any more sense for the female to be sentient? We don't know how or why they develop the way they do. It only makes more sense because that's what we're used to. Which is an expectation we're specifically trying to break, and makes for an interesting social dynamic. Well, if 'we' r...

Re: TSG, sprites reedition

Well, you could also just type:

Code: Select all

:debug
When already in a game to get into debug mode.

The ':' brings out the command line (looks like a 'normal' message box/line) and 'debug' gets you into debug mode. Type 'help' in the command line to get .... help.

Re: water animation

Wow! PGD I think this looks great... - overall: the color is to bright, but can 'easily' be changed later - atm I think it is right to concentrate on how the animation should work) - ocean: looks ok to me, any more movement and I would get seasick, maybe even try to do less? - coastal waves: maybe i...

Re: Drakes - some thoughts on Drake society, biologie and origin

As for the non-sentinent drake females This seems to be a case that resultet from an evolution, so we'd have to ask ourselfs what is the advantage of a non-sentinent female. With drakes evolution is a bit difficult, but we don't have any real world examples of non-sentinent sexual partners, which I...

Re: Drakes - some thoughts on Drake society, biologie and origin

Also worth bearing in mind that this is a military game in a medieval-esque world - the proportion of women in Wesnoth's combat forces is staggeringly high for the equivalent time period, if anything, rather than low as you seem to be implying. Well, WINR, so I think it is up to the devs to decide ...

Re: Drakes - some thoughts on Drake society, biologie and origin

There is an established canon for drake gender dynamics, it is as found in the wiki page linked to from here. It hasn't yet come up in any campaigns, but that is the way it is going to be. Hi, ok, I've tried to find a convincing reasoning for this established canon but haven't really found any. - w...

Re: TSG, sprites reedition

Wow!

I can't even remember when someone just showed up with these kind of sprite-skills...

@rhyging5: You are great!

@Jetrel, tsi, etc: Do whatever it takes to hold on to this person.

@peanut-gallery (including me): Be careful...

@Boucman: Show us the speech.

Re: Modularize Teleport, no changes to current gameplay

Cool!

How are the 'source' and 'target' terrains decided? Do they have to be same? Is it possible to create a unit that could teleport:
- from Gg to Gg?
- from Gg to V*?
- from anywhere to Vh?
- from Kv to anywhere?
- from Aa^F* to *^F

Re: German Forum yes/no?

It seems that I don't get my point across, or maybe I'm misreading your posts? AFAIK, the official answer is that no official forums will be made available in other languages, mainly because we would be unable to moderate them effectively. I am aware of this, I just think that that time has passed, ...

Re: artisticdude's sprites (critique welcome)

Hi, I know there is an update pending (or so it seems to me anyway) of the armored saurian. I think one problem with the saurian is that it still looks (size wise) like a repaint. The helmet itself (and also the body armor, but less) needs to take up space. Making the head (including the helmet) a t...

Re: German Forum yes/no?

As has been said, try your best and use the forum to practice and improve your English! Yes, I am aware of the official stand point on this, and I do understand it. However I also think it is flawed. I think that requiring English to communicate amongst players/umc-developers/artists/coders/etc is ...

Re: variable assignment feels random...

Thanks Sapient (and zookeeper on irc) for helping me out on this.

Now I understand (I hope). I needed the delayed_var_sub=no since the moveto-target-hex is random.

(Well, come to think of it I see a way of doing it with "yes" but now that I've figured it out, this is neater ;))
