The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Hello everyone!

This was brought up in a conversation and I am curious to know what the thoughts of the community are on the topic of recall list compositions?
This is mostly for long campaigns, which I have meant a campaign that might be over 13 scenarios in length. I just took 13 as an arbitrary...

Hi,

Since I'm actually working on a c++ runtime probably allowing some interesting dynamics for wesnoth 2, I want to ask if there are any concepts to interface. GoDot itself allows C++ modules. Basically it will be about replacing/extending original game dynamics by own dynamics while using the...

Al units look fine, but I preferred the old version of the Poacher, this one looks too similar to the Elvish Archer.
Anyone else thinks so ?

For the safety of everyone and the ppl of Wesnoth, please redraw all the units with a medical mask. :) :mrgreen:

I've been playing this game over a decade and have played some damn good user made campaigns. The main classics such as invasion from the unknown, elven dynasty RPG and the rest. Has there been any notable campaign to come out in the recent year?

I uploaded to the add-on server my completed campaign, titled The Pool of Ek. I purposefully crammed this simple, little campaign with examples of almost every tag. If you are learning WML and need a specific code example, there's a good chance that the one you need appears in The Pool of Ek....

No idea how I stumbled on it, but apparently there is a guide to Wesnoth on Serene's Forest , a forum dedicated to the Fire Emblem game franchise. The guide itself is a fairly extensive screenshot-by-screenshot gameplay walkthrough and is addressed to an audience that is completely unfamiliar to...

I was looking into gaps in existing sprites for the standing/bobbing animations ( and realized there were two things the larger community could help with:

1. Bobbing animations are now in two forms

Heaving/panting animations - the sprite starts to breath hard or look exhausted when HP is low -...

Wesnoth 1.14.15 is now available. This is a maintenance release for the stable 1.14.x series and, as such, it delivers an assortment of bug fixes and other improvements over previous releases in this series; but most importantly, it includes fixes for a major memory leak in the game’s graphics...

Greetings. This is a strategy post . Because I must always explain the whole to the newcomers, here i put the post.
I play WC II a lot. I'm very noob so i play Guild faction. and fav add-ons :mrgreen: item drop mod. and extra advancements.
Some players use the more advancements from Reign of the...

Hey,
I tried to install wesnoth using the flatpak build:

I am not entirely sure why this happen, but it could be because of my bad internet connection (~50kb/s atm at its lowest it fluctuates a lot). If it is a timeout it is oddly named though (there wasn't a 'real' connection loss at any...

Hello fellows. reporting an issue I have had since a long time, but didn't came around to report it as I had workarounds.

The main issues is that I cannot connect to either web www.wesnoth.org or anything related to wesnoth.org.
It gives me ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED on chrome.
Further more, in-game...

Hi,

I'm testing stuff in the lua cave map generator and I noticed that you cannot create a passage to a chamber that is not yet defined.
As an example, this will not create a passage between chamber above and below

But the following will create the passage.

The scenario 4_Gathering_Materials...

Hi,

This is driving me crazy, I have explicit x and y values for a chamber and a place_castle=yes item_location.

For some reason the keep isn't exactly on the given x,y values. It is sometimes off by 1 or 2.

I'm looking at the cave_map_generator.lua and can't see anything out of the ordinary...

I recently published my fork of A Tale of Two Brothers, called A Tale of Two Brothers With a Third Difficulty on the 1.14 add-on server. Unlike some of my other campaigns, this one has never been part of my generalized mods collection, but rather has lived its entire life in its own separate...

I recently published my fork of Son of the Black Eye, called Son of the Black Eye Easy Edition on the 1.14 add-on server. At first I developed this fork as part of my generalized collection of mods; its history as part of that can be found here:
Once I decided that I was actually going to make a...

Jazza and Shadiversity just rolled out new version of rulebook. It is supposed to be a streamline and improvement over DnD.

There is a bug with facing=...cw . I used it within in this manner: facing=$unit.facing:cw .

Nothing unusual was going on, just two units talking via .

My unit was facing ne and I wanted him to turn toward the person to whom he was speaking. The code should have rotated the unit clockwise, to se...

Is there an era that allows you to build into another faction doing a game, similar to how Zero-K allows you build and use another factory assuming you have enough time and money to do it?

Hello again! I still have several servers that I use for my own projects but don't use anywhere close to their potential so I am offering to share these servers with would-be Wesnoth operators for free. If you don't mind sharing a server with me just let me know and I can get you set up. :) Just go...

Hi there!

Over the past month we've been quietly preparing to move Wesnoth.org to a new server with better hardware to cope with our ever-growing demand for performance. As a first step we moved our Continuous Integration (CI) facilities, the Discord IRC bridge bot and the add-ons server. But in...

Like many people, I transition between maps within a scenario via this method: {FADE_TO_BLACK}, , {FADE_IN}. Are there faster or more visually interesting alternatives?

Have you ever used a terrain mask to rapidly switch to a new map within a scenario? How?

What do you do when you want to...

Hello!

Lately, I have been thinking of creating another campaign as a side-project however, I am a bit short on ideas. After brainstorming for quite some time, I have decided to prepare a survey and let the Wesnoth Community choose what they want to see in it.

Survey Link:

Some...

I wanted to create an interesting story related to Wesnoth, but due to various problems I did not create a campaign. I will keep posting more parts of the story and replays whenever possible. All feedback is appreciated and I hope you all enjoy the story.

The story is set in Elbor, which is a...

I had some weird kind of fun :geek: compiling old versions of wesnoth on debian. Since I am not the first to consider such a plan, I am sharing my progress on this. The whole thread is worth checking for those interested. It gives basically the full range of possibilities:
run old win binaries on...
