Re: Wesnoth 1.13.10 (1.14 beta 2)
@axiomatic Works in current master.
There has been a lot of work on DiD since 1.13.10. If you can, please upgrade to the current master and re-test.
For future reference: This sort of issue is best entered as the Github Issue, it will get faster attention.

I forked real life and now I'm getting merge conflicts.
Re: Wesnoth 1.13.10 (1.14 beta 2)
Can we go 1.14.1 now?
Is anybody still working on something?
Or are we waiting to get beta for a full year? Maybe a beta 3? Just kidding.

Re: Wesnoth 1.13.10 (1.14 beta 2)
No, we're going to do 1.14.0, first. To get there, though, we need to finish testing.
Yes, there are several people still working hard, and progress is made almost every day. A few have been making a lot of changes to the mainline campaigns. This is not so much "for" 1.14 as they're not on the critical path, so they're using the time to improve things while the critical path is worked by subject-matter specialists. In recent weeks, DiD has been getting a lot of attention.
At present, we're working on bugs in the MP and Addons servers.
/s (back at ya): We could push out a release at any time, if you do not mind giving up MP and Addons.
At its heart, the issue is that "normal players" rarely test things opting, instead, to wait for an "official" release. Unfortunately, that means that most testing is done by the programmers making the changes. That often means the testing is directed at the specific change and its effect upon other areas is left untested. "Normal" players don't have those blinders on and provide better results.
So, if you're impatient for progress toward the next "official" release, and don't want to help with the programming itself, the best thing you can do is download the testing version (or, better yet, download the current master and compile it yourself), play as normal, and let us know what doesn't work.

To be able to continue playing DiD on 1.13.10, place the attached file in the following location in your Wesnoth 1.13.10 installation directory:
data/campaigns/Descent_Into_Darkness/utils
overwriting the existing macros.cfg file. Then start Wesnoth and restart the scenario.

About releases… I was checking the repository for Mint and found this post by a DarrenG in the comments, dating from November 2015:
If you need a grunt, well… I haven't ever compiled or uploaded a game, but once the next stable version (1.14.?) comes out, if somebody promises to hold my hand, I might give it a try (the timing depends on RL e.g. university finals).
It remains unfixed (I checked). Is there… is there anything that can be done to fix it, i.e. uploading a new version? People keep downloading the old BfW 1.10 and complain about bugs from the time.I am seriously addicted to this game. but version 1.10.7 came out in 2013! if you want version 1.12 or 1.13 check out http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2199

Re: Wesnoth 1.13.10 (1.14 beta 2)
The current version of Wesnoth available for Ubuntu 16.04 and later is 1.12, so people would only still be downloading 1.10 if they were on 14.04. The PPA that those instructions link to hasn't been updated since 1.13.8 as well. Obviously that's not ideal, but as far as I know nobody on the Wesnoth team is part of or responsible for how any linux distro packages Wesnoth, so the most anybody(whether they're a developer or a user) can do is poke the people who are in charge of packaging Wesnoth and ask that they update to a more recent version.Sadaharu wrote:About releases… I was checking the repository for Mint and found this post by a DarrenG in the comments, dating from November 2015:

That said, if you want 1.13 and are on Ubuntu 16.04 or a derivative distro(like Mint 18.x), getting the very latest 1.13.x code and compiling it yourself is very simple, though the first time through might take quite a while to complete. I posted the instructions here on the previous page.

Hmmmm… poking people, eh? If they are on the linuxmint.com forums I could prod them.

Re: Wesnoth 1.13.10 (1.14 beta 2)
The PPA that has Wesnoth's development releases says to send questions and comments to the people listed here, so I'd guess that you'd need to either message them on Launchpad or send them an email.Sadaharu wrote:Hmmmm… poking people, eh? If they are on the linuxmint.com forums I could prod them.

It's a known bug which has been fixed in master, so that won't happen in the next release.Eagle_11 wrote:Got this error whilst running two AI fight it out. Any idea what the reason can be ?Spoiler:

Re: Wesnoth 1.13.10 (1.14 beta 2)
I've been playing around with 1.13 for a while, trying to port some add-ons. I love the latest unit and terrain graphics. However, I've noticed a few cosmetic issues, and a couple of WML oddities.
1. Internal variables seem to be wiped when a unit advances. For instance, I've stored my leader and tweaked $unit.hitpoints to give him +10 HP. When my leader levels up that hitpoint boost is lost. I've noticed this happening in a few places with code that worked before on 1.12. I imagine this could wreck a lot of add-ons.
2. The floating labels you get from using [floating_text] go much quicker than they used to. Sometimes I can't even read them, though the speed seems to vary.
3. Giving an animated halo to a unit seems to add it to the unit's hex as well (first reported here).
4. The water animations look great, but more than a few hexes causes loads of lag for me (on Windows 10). I have them permanently turned off now.
5. The unit sprites have a nice filter/effect in the help section that stops them looking too pixelated. Might be nice if this was also be applied to the unit images shown in the combat dialogue box?
6. Feature Request: Would it be possible to allow UMC creators to make custom entries in the in-game help menu? It would be really handy if you could add a page or two to the regular help section with info about an add-on (tutorial stuff, novel game concepts, etc). Currently many add-ons use a right-click option for custom help, but with multiplayer games this means a) only the active player can read it and b) everyone else has to sit around waiting.
I hope reporting some of this stuff is useful.

1. I believe it is normal that direct modifications are lost whenever unit is rebuilt, use trait or object for persistent change.

Re: Wesnoth 1.13.10 (1.14 beta 2)
6. Thats a great idea, ideally it should be done asap. Another great thing would be capability to add an picture to an ability description(unless its already doable) as an ability based on unit-positioning around the opponent, such as Flanking is better explained with an screenshot showing the legit combos.
