The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Uh, no. It's not like that. Try reading through some of the wiki pages on WML; you should be able to figure out what you need from there. For this, I think you'll want scenarios, sides, and actions.

I actually like it better; the general appearance of the spirit line portraits annoys me a little since I don't think they should be quite so... how do I put this... "ugly" isn't what I'm looking for but I guess it'll do. Making the regular undead "ugly" makes sense, but the spir...

Yes. If you're using 1.11 or higher, you can do something like this: [modify_side] color=blue [/modify_side] However, if you're using 1.10.3 (the current release version), you can only set the colour when you define the side, which is what the [side] tag does. That said, you don't need all those key...

Behold, a sprite! http://celmin.pwcsite.com/wesnoth/wisp.png Basically I took one of ShadowMaster's concepts for Elynia, grafted the Shyde's floating legs on, and did some minor recolouring. It uh... works better than I expected, actually, considering that the skirt was drawn for a pose more like th...

Off the top of my head, there are six features that lack an overlay: The mighty trait + firststrike special The hardy trait The agile trait The speedy trait Having cures instead of heals +2 The extremely rare resurrect ability which I intend to replace as soon as I think of something to replace it w...

Ah, okay. Though, the Elvish Marksman would seem to indicate it has not female variant but actually does have one.

Not a good example. A better example would be Dark Sorcerer, where the female variation is called Dark Sorceress. That's the only one I know of (Elvish Marksman would seem to be an obvious one to have a different female name, but it doesn't do that).

My mistake (confusing [unit] and [unit_type] keys!). Try max_experience=? Of course, if you're happy with the current experience required to level, you won't need that.

I though trunk was 1.11...?

...right, I keep forgetting that. <_<

Point taken. What I meant is that, apart from the sprite and (sometimes) the name, there's no visual indication of gender (I wish there was, sometimes; just throw in a ♂ or ♀ in some appropriate place).

But yeah, for this, a slightly tweaked custom unit is probably a good idea.

Sorry to bump this, but is there any chance of getting a version of this which I could try out in the editor?

No idea why that doesn't work, but any reason not to use the "capture" event? capture Triggers when the primary unit captures a village. The village may have been previously neutral, or previously owned by another side; merely moving into your own villages does not constitute a capture. Th...

It would, but currently I don't think the faction is stored anywhere; it's just a way to set the recruit list, possible leaders, and some AI parameters.

Or just remove that line altogether.

(Also, those advancement events will need to appear in any scenario that might possibly contain Inferno Drakes or Liches.)
