1.0 Feature List

[Quensul]

I would say just don't have the map in the background. Instead, have something without black lines on it at all - basically, a blank white parchment. Otherwise, any color will be difficult to read, because it will blend in with the black, blend in with the tan, or be a really light color (like white) that is hard to read.

Conveniently enough, we now have a variety of parchment textures. I think Jetryl's planning on working some magic with them, after which one could be used for this.

It'd be neat if we can specify the background of a [message], so that a campaign developer can have letters.

sorry for bumping this post, and sorry for suggesting a feature that is likely suggested long before, but...

What I am desperately missing is a possibility to delete installed campains.
(of course an rm -r ~/.wesnoth/data/campains/<campain> works fine, but it is quite onconvenient.)

I think this feature would add some quality for an 1.0 release, but it surely should not lack in a post-1.0 release.

There is only one thing that I miss in Wesnoth (0.9.4) right now:
I can't quit Wesnoth from within a game I play (even if it says quit game!), but have to go back to the main menu first and then click "Quit" a second time. It would be nice if I could quit the whole program at any time

If you're playing in windowed mode you can just click the 'X' of your window manager to close the entire program in one go.

Sorry if it was suggested before but I wasn't able to find it with the search function.

I can't quit Wesnoth from within a game I play (even if it says quit game!), but have to go back to the main menu first and then click "Quit" a second time. It would be nice if I could quit the whole program at any time or at least when playing a game and not only when I'm in the main menu / title screen. Would be nice to see this in 1.0, because having a really good (G)UI is quite essential IMHO.

Right now when I'm playing a game and click on Menu the following options are available:

Menu

• Scenario Objectives
  Statistics
  Unit List
  Status Table
  Save Game
  Load Game
  Preferences
  Help
  Quit Game

Adding another option would be a good improvement to the GUI IMHO:

Menu

• Scenario Objectives
  Statistics
  Unit List
  Status Table
  Save Game
  Load Game
  Preferences
  Help
  Quit Game
  Quit Wesnoth

In most cases it shouldn't even need real translation, because you might be able to use the "Quit Game" String and simply replace the word for game with "Wesnoth".

If for some reason it would need translation anyway I would suggest doing it even another (and better!) way:

Menu

• Scenario Objectives
  Statistics
  Unit List
  Status Table
  Save Game
  Load Game
  Preferences
  Help
  Main Menu (quits game)
  Quit Program

Doing it like that would avoid any possible confusion on the user side (which would be the last thing a GUI should do).


P.S.: I really love this game! You all did an awesome job with creating it!

Thanks, Dave.

Personally I dislike playing any game in windowed mode (and I guess I'm not the only one who does).

Maybe an "X" could be added to the upper right in full screen mode? This wouldn't need any translations, anyone would understand what it means and there would be almost no risc clicking it accidently. And maybe adding a symbol for switching between full screen mode and windowed mode would also be nice for some people.

When a level is ending, you get the small window that tells how much money you get for the next level. At this place, it would not be that bad to see a statistic about how many level-ups the player has made in that level. Much like the window that comes under the statistics menu point, but specific to this level only.

[shevegen]

Last idea isnt bad if it doesnt get "spammy", its always nice to be able to get additional informations on how you have performed on a level (and may be used to compare with other players, and their tactics used to solve a level)

Unstickying.
