The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Hi guys and girls : RANGE is very simple. If you consider a hex beeing about +-150 meter in diameter, the max bow range, in battle a bow unit or spear could attack from range, then parties would close up to eachother and continue in melee with swords . Roman units with gladius (sword) combined with ...

WEAPON_SPECIAL_ABSORB AMT ? When i use it the ennemy unit gets incredible high attack value (sometimes 125) killing my absorbing unit instantly. Is this normal . Surely something went wrong or is this normal. As I see it it should give my unit an advantage, not kill it. I did not enter a number for ...

Hi folks, looking for "artist", "storytellers", "ideas", existing or new ... (LAWFUL + NEUTRAL against CHAOTIC + LIMINAL) I am starting a huge multi-campaign-campaign so I need as much as different surroundings to keep it interresting. I will use an extra "Earth&qu...

Hi beetlenaut, Yes, obviously, but maybe if we transfer a real map to hex-parts, give 1 hex part a "description" and then order wes... to look if hex="description" then change to grass, wood, mountains, sea or whatever. By removing in forehand all streets and unwanted features f....

Hi beetlenaut, I just did all but modification. 1.Is there a standard way for a Modification? Nothing found that explaines it. I could start writing over an existing one but I do not see a clear structure. 2.Is there a program available to "translate" a picture of a real world map to a cam...

Hi beetlenaut, I looked up WML Guide, Usefull tool, A question : is it possible to force in main.cfg the use of the addon units with the same id as the standard ones. This for saving time while testing. Or, can I even put a mirror in the core units folder f.i. SpearmanX instead of Spearman. I am loo...

Hi Celtic_Minstrel,

Okay, will do, thank you

Hi Pentarctagon , I have now installed 1.16 stable. I suppose files working in 1.16 will still work in 1.17 or is there no full backward compatibility ? Also, where can I put my units cfg files and test them in a standard campaign to meet the standard foes? Does a documents folder "units" ...

Hi Celtic_Minstrel, Thank you for your detailed explanation. I see it as an extra choise, having during the whole "long campaign" the opportunity to store whatever is needed later on AND every later sub campaign using when necessary its own domain which would be assigned by using the "...

Hi folks,
my name is Leo and I am from Belgium
As I want to start a huge campaign consisting of many campaigns ordered by timeline ; my questions :

1. is 1.17 stable enough or is it best to use 1.16 stable?

2. can code from f.i. version 1.14 be used in 1.17 without rewriting?

Hi Celtic_Minstrel , Please indulge my "persistence", This comes out of PersistenceWML : If campaigns are intended to have a high level of interaction, it is recommended that the later campaign uses the namespace of the prior campaign, and makes a child namespace for itself 'if' it needs t...

Hi dwarftough,

Thank you for the info, I am studying them but I need to understand the working order so I study the latest wml possibilities .

hi Celtic_Minstrel Thanks for the answer, I am looking up the system main.campaign with children main.campaign.child1, main.campaign.child2 and so on. It is difficult to know where all the necessary code is in the existing campaigns so I will start from scratch. I do not find the command to store th...

Hi Heindal, Thank you for a swift answer. 1. I prefer a link between stand-alone campaigns which would make it possible to play the campaigns apart from eachother (no units retained). Or start f.i. with the 4th campaign directly causing a higher difficulty. Possibly this will only work with an exter...

Yes, thank you
