Wesnoth 1.9.3
Moderator: Forum Moderators
Wesnoth 1.9.3
This is the fourth release of the 1.9.x development branch. As with normal development releases, it may include many more bugs than stable releases from the 1.8.x series — additionally, 1.8 content is not compatible with 1.9.x due to the many changes in the game engine and WML syntax between both branches. Don't be disappointed if the game crashes every now and then — "normal" players (those who want a stable gaming experience) should not use this release, and stick to the stable branch instead.. However, if you want to test the future of Wesnoth and help us find bugs early, you are welcome to check out 1.9.3. We require your help for finding and fixing issues. If you find a bug, please do not assume that it is so obvious that we already know about it. Report it and make sure that we are aware of it.
The known issues mentioned in the 1.9.2 announcement were fixed. Besides this we had the usual bug fixes, graphics and translation updates.
So far there are no known issues (besides the stuff listed in the bug tracker). So let's directly head over to the most important features of this new release (at least the most important things that the other devs do want you to know about ).
Important changes and new features
Of course there is also the full changelog listing (almost) all the changes since 1.9.2. A changelog for the most visible changes for users is the players changelog.
Known Issues (might be fixed in the next release(s))

Re: Wesnoth 1.9.3
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or intended behavior that I just disagree with, but the portraits are significantly smaller:

you will have much less players on the servers, and much less user made content...

Re: Wesnoth 1.9.3
I didn't find the info: was the [tunnel] tag enabled in 1.9.3? As far as I remember, it wasn't in 1.9.2, and it isn't mentionned anywhere.

Re: Wesnoth 1.9.3
I use 1.9.2 for everything since 1.8.5 doesn't run well on my computer (I can't even get it to start up without running it as Admin). Does this mean it might be okay for me to upgrade to 1.9.3 or would it be better if I stick with 1.9.2?
Re: Wesnoth 1.9.3
I know - but Wesnoth release versions are as stable as the "stable" ones (this was the way I experienced it until now...)Boucman wrote: Carefull, this is a developement release, not a stable one...

So it's always great to see that something's going on.
I'm running 1.8.5, 1.9.2, 1.9.3 and the trunk version parallel, so I'm able to look what all happens

Re: Wesnoth 1.9.3
I found a bug on Legend of Wesmere Scenario 1 on easy:
At the top of the screen it says you have 20 turns but the scenario objectives say 16.

Re: Wesnoth 1.9.3
I'm pretty sure this wasn't intentional. It was probably caused by the "more than 500 px tall" change.doofus-01 wrote:I'm not sure if this is a bug, or intended behavior that I just disagree with, but the portraits are significantly smaller:example:
Re: Wesnoth 1.9.3
I have too noticed that portraits at lower resolutions than, say 1280 x ~800 look smaller than in previous versions, while uncannily enough, portraits at higher resolutions became larger.
So yeah.

Re: Wesnoth 1.9.3
Serious bug:
This happened with 1.8.5 and now this:
I got on today and all my .sol files for other games had been wiped clean. I had backups for those and this as well. But my preferences keeps getting all of it's data erased (I say erased because the file is still there, but when I open it with notepad, all the text is missing). I would like a fix for this.

Re: Wesnoth 1.9.3
I don't see how Wesnoth would relate at all to ".sol" files, as these are created by the Adobe Flash Player, and Wesnoth does not use Flash, AFAIK.
You may have another problem on your computer, though.

Re: Wesnoth 1.9.3
I think so too, but the problem about preferences getting deleted or changed might be caused by the way you built 1.92.pauxlo wrote:I don't see how Wesnoth would relate at all to ".sol" files, as these are created by the Adobe Flash Player, and Wesnoth does not use Flash, AFAIK.

If you want several versions of Wesnoth installed you have to specify so, there is information about that in the INSTALL text.
Hope that helped you...
Edit: That is if you built(compiled) the game, not if you got it in an exe or something...
Re: Wesnoth 1.9.3
Sorry for double post....
But I see you fixed the Wesmere problems all together! Thank you! Now I can finally play further!
Also for those of you who want to continue from v1.9.2, you have to load the previous scenario, but to make it work you have change the name "04_Elvish_Treasury" into "04_The_Elvish_Treasury". I think it is three names in total in the save file.... worked for me anyway
