Re: Are variations documented somewhere

For terrains, enabling debug mode and then opening the help displays extra information such as the id and terrain code. Would adding a similar feature for units be helpful?

Re: Tutorial bug - quintain actually can kill ya

Save-loading shouldn't be a thing, at least not something that we recommend in the tutorial. It fits some player's style, but it'll turn other players off. Now that we have hints at the top-left of the screen, I'm thinking of this hint (for 1.19, and would need 8643 fixed first) : caption= _ "C...

Re: Legend of Wesmere - Chapter V: Elvish civil war

Maybe Landar is trying to eliminate anyone who knows about the potion, because the druids have started to notice slightly weird magical auras around him, and if they ask Kalenz about it then they'll work out how to exorcise the lich. I'm guessing the potion is a very closely guarded secret, because ...

Although it isn't redirected for have_asset, .png is redirected when it gets to src/picture.cpp's load_image_file(const image::locator&).

Re: Compatibility-breaking changes between 1.16 and 1.17/1.18

Almost all .jpg story images have been converted to .webp, and their filenames changed to match. However, the engine won't automatically look for the renamed images (it does for .png, but not .jpg).

Re: Art Criticism for new graphics for Sulla

It's possible to use more than one recolor in an image, in addition to magenta there's the flag_green and ellipse_red source palettes. That could be used to make the orbiting planets the players' chosen team colors.

I don't know whether it will break anything, but it seems odd to use exactly the same directory name as the mainline campaign.

Re: Wiki Improvements

For any of the pages that have manual copies of all the text in the campaign, it's worth knowing that there's already an auto-generated (although not as readable) copy in the translation files. That's not saying that you shouldn't do the manual copies, but I've been wondering about adding a warning ...

Re: How to build non "+dev" version from source?

It doesn't matter whether it's a detached HEAD or not - what matters is just that it's built from the commit that's been tagged "1.17.26". Technically, it's just a file in the source tree that gets changed when creating that version, and then immediately changed again in the next commit.

Re: Scenario Review - EI 11 - Lake Vrug

Have you seen Dacyn since he hid in scenario 1? Looking at the save file, Dacyn still seems to be hiding with only 4 xp, and the stats from S01 suggest you managed to kill all the enemy leaders before Dacyn reappeared. Strange, as the latest Wesnoth version is older than my installation and the one ...

Although it's listed as the only "known issue", if anyone sees the cache corruption bug then it's worth posting, and particularly if you can reliable reproduce it. The last responses in 1924 are from 18 months ago, so I don't know if it's been fixed, or if it's still happening a lot but no...

Apparently they try to burn the book, and Malin says "Aaargh," and then the foolish hero says "Still, it seems to be hurting the lich." That "still" doesn't make sense. It feels like something is missing, like it should be, "The book is undamaged, but it seems to ...

Re: Arabic translation

Which campaign will you look at next? I'd be interested to improve the comments in it, and then get feedback about which comments are useful, which are excessive, and what else should be commented.

Re: I need help add terrains in new game versions to my Wesnoth 1.10 add-on

The NEW:OVERLAY macro was itself added in 1.13.7, in commit 8fdf689681ce03edf7aea44f24981614ca49157f. Aquatic Camps were first added in 1.13.6, so there must be a simpler version of them in that first release.
