1.18 SP Campaign - Bad Moon Rising
Moderator: Forum Moderators
Re: 1.10 and 1.11 SP Campaign - Bad Moon Rising
1.5.3 has been uploaded to 1.11.x server. There are a bunch of minor updates, but my main reason for updating is that the "unit status" right-click-menu-item has been inserted into Part III. I've tested it up to the scenario "The Pit - Revisited", after that point, there may be bugs.
But up to that, it should work reasonably well. Except that the ghost attacks are too repetitive, but I'm going to try to do something about that soon.

I can't view the file any time soon, so I must guess: Did you attack the lieutenant with melee? Don't use melee on him.Allin wrote:BfW 1.10.5

Killing him with melee might trigger the rescue events, but you still lose. I don't remember. If so, it should be fixed to suppress the rescue events and just make you lose.

Re: 1.10 and 1.11 SP Campaign - Bad Moon Rising
Great campaign I like the world map system (although skirmishes make things kinda easy) and enjoy the plot.
Bug report though:
In scenario 9 (where you enter teh mines again & hunt scarrion) I killed scarrion too quickly. I used a harrier to slow him down sufficiently that I caught him in the very first stretch (before Maskov shows up). This generates a serious plot hole (such that I had to read the source files to understand what on earth was going on). Not a massive issue ,and it's only going to occur if, like me, you
a) line up your troops exactly beyond vazzan's trigger point then berserk him to death in a single turn
and
b) use harriers to prevent scarrion moving
but still, a fix would be nice.
Bug 2) In the next scenario, Hank Skoro died before Knafa Skoro showed up. This messed up his entrance dialogue.
Final comments: I wish you didn't use the {FORCE_CHANCE_TO_HIT} macro quite so much. While I appreciate you wish to keep certain characters from dying to early, having your cunning scheme to assassinate the enemy foiled because the scenario was - silently - preventing it is very annoying. I suggest you eithee solve the problem with the classic "Aha, you though you killed me but now I'm over here!" method or with the "enemy magician + protective shield" system (you have to kill an arch mage before you can harm them. You can also have the arch mage leave the pitch if the enemy needs to become killable). These methods would produce roughly the same effect without making it feel like the engine is "cheating" you. If you really want to stick with the {FORCE_CHANCE_TO_HIT} macro, then please add a note to the objectives (... cannot be killed until...) as this save everyone time and effort.
Still, the campaign is very good

OK, I think I've got that fixed now. Thanks.Dwarven_Void wrote:Bug report though:

"so much" is a bit of an exaggeration, I think. Even so, that macro is a band-aid, I agree it's not ideal. But foiling devious players in a more satisfying manner is lower priority than many other things, so for now, that macro stays. Maybe someday, it can be retired.Dwarven_Void wrote:Final comments: I wish you didn't use the {FORCE_CHANCE_TO_HIT} macro quite so much.
----------------------
1.5.4 has been uploaded to the 1.11.x server. There are many upgrades and a couple of show-stopper bugs have been fixed, so it is worth downloading. I was able to play the whole thing through, without debug, so it should be considered 'complete' again. There are some thing's I'd like to change in the future, the skirmish stuff being highest on the list, but I think the burning issues are solved. If anyone finds anything that leads them to disagree with that, please let me know.
Thanks.

Re: 1.10 and 1.11 SP Campaign - Bad Moon Rising
in BMR2, Raenna and Duval disappeared after the scenario "Fort Kuhle". I play until "Royal Ramble Tour" and i don't have seen them again. I'm not sure it's right. "death of Raenna" means always defeat in the objectives box...
thanks for this campaign

Re: 1.10 and 1.11 SP Campaign - Bad Moon Rising
No, it is not right. That did not happen to me, and it's not obvious to me how that could happen.delep wrote: I'm not sure it's right.
Could you post the save-file for "Defend", and any saves you have from before that? Thanks.

I hope it's the good file : BMR2-Defend.gz. and the last "Fort Kuhle"

Re: 1.10 and 1.11 SP Campaign - Bad Moon Rising
OK, I see what happened. Everyone disappeared, that entire side was wiped out. It is a bug in BfW 1.11.1 :
http://forum.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php? ... nt#p545263
I must have tested that scenario with BfW 1.11.0. I'm going to upload a fix now (BMR 1.5.4.a), because I have no idea when BfW 1.11.2 is coming out.
Thanks for the report.

Re: 1.10 and 1.11 SP Campaign - Bad Moon Rising
I was wondering if it is intended that Belleros loses all his items when
Overall pretty interesting campaign, midway through Part III (I did notice the bug in Fort Kuhle, but didn't think it was a campaign bug, so I hacked a fix myself) A few tomato surprises - levels are noticeably easier if you know what's coming. Other than the ghost skirmishes being too frequent, it's been a fun ride.
Spoiler:
A witty saying proves nothing.

Re: 1.10 and 1.11 SP Campaign - Bad Moon Rising
That should be fixed in the recent updates. The old code for making Belleros take over was klutzy, but predated the "items", so it seemed good enough at the time and just fell off the radar.blackjack wrote:I was wondering if it is intended that Belleros loses all his items when
EDIT: Actually, you might encounter some trouble if you use saves from after that scenario, started with BMR version earlier than 1.5.4. But if you start from the scenario where Lorenzon gets hurt, it should be OK.

Re: 1.10 and 1.11 SP Campaign - Bad Moon Rising
Thanks.
In the latest version 1.5.4a, enemies-list.cfg (inside utils) has two units mispelt with Primval instead of Primeval. That causes some messy errors as the system can't find the units...

Whoops. Will fix for next time, thanks.
The skirmishes are on deck for revision, anyway. Especially the ghost attacks, those things get annoying.

Re: 1.10 and 1.11 SP Campaign - Bad Moon Rising
1.5.5 has been uploaded to the 1.11.x server. The biggest update is that the skirmishes have changed a bit:
A. The skirmish frequency is terrain dependent - there is more chance to get attacked in forests, less chance to get attacked on the roads. That means there should be fewer of those goddam ghost attacks.
B. The exact skirmish type can now be wolves, rather than orcs, ghosts, or primevals. This general concept could be expanded to other things (like snow monkeys or land sharks), so there is more variety, but what we've got for now is wolves. If there is anything silly from this, like talking wolves, please let me know. I've tested it a fair amount, but there are so many individual scenarios and possibilities, it will take months or even years to get through it all on my own.
C. The enemy sprite that runs around on the worldmap now causes you to go into a "battle" scenario, as opposed to a "skirmish". The "battles" are kind of boring and crappy right now, I was trying to get the underlying mechanics pinned down first. But they are still playable, and if anyone reading this is interested in stress-testing, it would be helpful to see if there are bugs from going between worldmap and battle etc. The basic idea is that if the enemy unit on the worldmap gets next to you, you have a "battle" scenario, and if you flee that battle and return to worldmap scenario, that enemy unit will continue to hound you. If you defeat that "battle" scenario, the enemy unit on the worldmap disappears. It should be pretty intuitive, so if it is not making sense, please let me know. The "battle" scenarios are not balanced, I know they need work. The mechanics of this should allow more than one enemy unit on the map, this whole thing should be expandable, with persistent enemy sides and all that, but it's not there yet.
Because there are new wolf unit-types which could also be in Trinity or Tales of the Setting Sun, this requires that you update the "Archaic_Resources" add-on.
