The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

If this is true, it's actually pretty bad. It would definitely be better if the game ignored all whitespace. I didn't have time to test it before, but now I have, and it's actually not true. It does say so in the multihex terrain tutorial though. Just before the first code block it says: "Bewa...

The wiki says spaces are significant (in tile_maps) but I'm not clear why? I'm pretty sure spaces don't matter inside the map. However, the comma at the beginning of a line must be the first character (and that may be true for the anchor character as well). I think that is what the wiki is actually...

I'm assuming by line the text means: rows (same y or ordinate value) of hexes consisting of either all odd-numbered or all even numbered x (abscissa) values. No, "line" has the normal meaning here: a horizontal line of text. Hopefully, this image will make it clear: [terrain_graphics] map...

I think I already answered that question. If I didn't answer it, I need you to ask a specific question about one part that is difficult. I'm not going to write a whole mod for you. If you can only write a clearer, more complete question in another language, you should try that. There is probably som...

This is not a specific question that is easy to answer, but maybe this is all you need: Use replace=yes in the [effect]. If you need more information: Add the [effect] with [object] or [modify_unit]. The [effect] needs to apply_to a new_advancement . The [advancement] tag defines the new AMLA. You c...

This sounds like the game of Risk with scenarios deciding the outcome of battles instead of dice. I don't see why this couldn't be done completely in Wesnoth. The world map would just be a scenario that is returned to after any battle scenario. I imagine that only the leaders would be on the world m...

btw, is there any way to suppress these messages from popping up that can be controlled via the scn? There is an exception being thrown, so you probably shouldn't be attempting to leave it like that even if your code does what you want at the moment. This should be fixable in your code. There is a ...

It also seemed like reachable locations didn't store properly. That is the problem, but it sounds like you aren't sure. Did you know that you can find out with : inspect? It would have allowed you to ask a more specific question and include a lot less code. Also, it seems like you didn't validate t...

There are macros available in SotA utils called FREEZE_UNIT and THAW_UNIT. They use objects, which would be simpler than removing each unit's movement every turn.

Since this behavior doesn't seem to be the expected one, this probably qualifies as a bug that can be reported. There might still be a workaround, but I won't have time to look for one for about a week.

I couldn't replicate the highlighting problem you are having in BfW 1.16 or 1.17 using the code you posted above. The unit highlighted correctly when I tried it. I had to remove some pieces of the code because I didn't have the variable, macro, or terrain, but I can't see how that would make a diffe...

I wouldn’t say that the Wyverns are good for assassinations....I would say that it is likely most commonly used in battle to show of wealth I don't care very much about the assassination thing, but assassins don't need to be sneaky. Some famous ones were quite bold. However, if a player is seeing a...

This is good, and has some imaginative expansion to the lore. There are still a few grammatical problems and some awkward phrasing though. Also, it doesn't sound quite like Wesnoth. This is my take on your work: A wyvern is an untamable, ravaging beast that strikes fear into anyone who encounters on...

The "count" above means the number of locations that must match this location filter, which is not what you want. I'm doubtful that "count=0" is even allowed. Instead, put the keys inside a [not] tag to reverse the filter.

Is is possible to retract the [avoid] without this facet/path thing? I don't think so, but you can just change it to something unreachable anyway like 0,0 or 99,99. It doesn't seem to work, i.e., units are still avoiding the initially defined area at the top. You are using the format for [modify_si...
