'When Came out the Shadows' campaign

[Turuk]

Ah, worried of giving out your password to someone else? Well if you sent it to me, I'm certainly not going to run wild and rampant with your passphrase.

I would trust you if I did that!

If you don't want to attach it on here and want me to do upload it for you, just send it my way.

[domingo]

So...

-First file: all the campaign, except the "images" folder

Create an "images" folder in the main folder.

[domingo]

Then, untar the "portraits" folder and put it in "images". Do the same with the folders which will be untared from "others".

You have to take the older version and take all the story images from it. Add them to the new "story" folder, with the new map of the archipelago.

edit: I did that because I were not going to upload them again whereas they are the same than those in the older version...

You're still alive?

So you should have 5 folders in "images": "items", "portraits", "projectiles", "story", "units". In "story", you should have the new map of the archipelago (I don't remember if it was in the current version ) and the other.

Tomorrow the last folder ("others") should follow... You will be able to do what I have just written!

Well, now it should work!

[domingo]

The following folder...

Oh, and IMPORTANT: I have noted an error from me in the code.
In "14_La_Liberation_de_La_Baie_du_Sud.cfg", in the first lines,

Code: Select all

next_scenario="14_bis_L_Adieu"

must be replaced by

Code: Select all

next_scenario="14_bis_Poursuivis"

Yeah I know, it's in French

Have a lot of fun...

edit: Hey, I see the first file has only been downloaded 1 time whereas the second has been 7... I hope I correctly explained...

I've just played through Ver.1.1.0 with BfW 1.6.4. Some bugs as followed happened.

1. In 'Father_and_Son' scenario (06_Pere_et_Fils.cfg)
　 All leaders were killed at 9th turn, but Lyndil-Hoaklyl didin't appear.
　 The conversation at end went on without him.

2. In 'Unhoped-for_Alliance' scenario (07_Alliance_Inesperee.cfg)
　 A. "revelation" in line 13 should be "revelation.ogg"
　 　 this bug stopped the game at the end of another music "the_king_is_dead.ogg".
　 B. I ended with Cheranoo living but Konrad talked as if he's dead (line 511).

3. In 'The_Battle_for_Dan_Tonk' scenario (19_La_Bataille_pour_Dan_Tonk.cfg)
　 I recalled Cand and Cend and moved them, but the event didn't happen.

I couldn't find out the causes except 2-A, but it seems to me that 'if' statement is not working well.

Though I almost wrote only about bugs, I really enjoyed your campaign and that's why I wrote this message.
I hope this information may help you.

Yes, thank you for your post and for playing WCotS. I will make the best as soon as I could (a new version were almost ready)...

Hi,

When Came out the Shadows v1.2.1 has just been uploaded. It should be free of bugs, I hope the ones which were found have been removed...

The following changes were made :

Version 1.2.1 (october 2009):
-Some modifications in the code
-Addroran IX is no longer a Death Knight but a Death Baron


Version 1.2.0 (never uploaded):
-Some corrections and modifications in the code; and some additions in different scenarios; the epilogue has been modified
-Some modifications in a few maps
-Lyndil-Hoaklyl has a new portrait (transparent)
-Transparent portrait for Houk'Gourou
-Two new scenarios : "Orcish Science" (plot only) and "Pursued"
-New character (Cynthia)
-The "Under the Evil Shadows" scenario now available (new map)
-The old musics which had been removed from Wesnoth are available (I like them)
-Campaign can now be translated

[domingo]

I have found a bug. I played 14_ter ("Farewell") and I saw the following code didn't work. However, and remember it worked previously but I made some changes since. I probably made a mistake...

In this scenario, Merlin, Lyndil-Hoaklyl and Konrad have to escape by joining the ships.
I send Lyndil-Hoaklyl in (26;34) and it's OK, I have "1" when I type "show_var char_on_ships".
But it didn't work when Merlin or Konrad do the same...

Can anybody tell me why ?

Hi,

It's what I did first. But I changed because I had a bug. I am going to rewrite this and try to play again.

Thanks for your answer

Hi,

I could beat the scenarios up to "the plain of ydra". But in this scenario I can't see a chance. 100 gold, 4 characters which are not to be beaten and hundreds of enemies. Best I did in "easy" was turn 9.
Could you give me a hint?
More gold? Level 1 characters will be dead immediately and there is no income...

Thanks
Herbert

I've run into a bizarre bug in "Farewell". The scenario ends in victory in the middle of the first round when I'm moving my units. The behaviour is a bit inconsistent, sometimes the end comes after I have moved two units, sometimes three, and it doesn't seem to matter what units I'm moving. I have looked at the source, and as far as I can tell, it should be okay.

Also, I've found the plot a bit hard to follow, for example I'm still waiting for this "When" character to pop into the light.
