Well as far I I know (which is not much, and might be wrong) the project haldric team it still on reImplementing basic gameplay mechanics and didn't even begin to implent multiplayer or implement addon API etc . So we'll, it depends of what you mean by stable, but probably not too soon.
Scenario with Robots SP scenario (1.11/1.12), allows you to build your units with components, PYR No preperation turn 1.12 mp-mod that allows you to select your units immideately after the game begins.

We're still in the elementary phases of the project, but any help would be gladly accepted.

I don't know godot, but I know python. Also, I don't know the wesnoth code. However, I still contribute to the project. :)

how basically would you be able to transfer wesnoth code into py if you dont know wesnoth code?

You don't transfer wesnoth code into py. You re-write the entire thing.

To be clear, godot doesn't use python, it uses gdscript which is very similar to python.

As stated, you don't need to. All you need to know is the game mechanics.

how would any of the addons be transferred over and work in the new engine?

if you're basically remaking it, it'd seen far better just to redesign the game into a better version

what part of the game works and what part doesnt, do you have to know the entire codebase so far to know that?

there's different ways to design how the code would be for the game, what approach/paradigm have you decided to take?

They would be completely re-written.

We are.

https://github.com/wesnoth/haldric/issues/5 has a checklist, with links to each individual issue.

Object-oriented programming (duh, as godot is based on OOP)

are there details of how you're making the game into a better version? like the specifics of how it would work, and not just checklist

for what works it says that hasnt been updated since '18

when you design a software, there's many different ways of doing the same thing even when using the same lang, so am asking what's the design appoarch?

seems like any addons would be gone

Just look at the github. It should have all the answers.

The github repository is active, so I am not sure why you think it has not changed since 2018.

https://github.com/wesnoth/haldric

IMO it is probably a bit too ambitious. While perhaps you can finish most of the core functionality,
I know from experience that the closer things come toward 100%, the more slowdown will
happen. :)

Personally I use the oldschool wesnoth exclusively; I tend to play only some add-ons these days,
since they are more interesting compared to the mainline scenarios and gameplay.
