Several of our mainline campaigns are in the works for upgrades at the moment, which includes adding characters and enhancing existing scenarios. We are looking for more artwork to supplement these upgrades, including the following:
We are happy to announce that Wesnoth is now able to accept donations on Liberapay . While Wesnoth does rely on the work of dedicated volunteers, no project can function completely cost-free. Revenue from the Apple App Store and from donations goes towards maintaining our servers,...
There have been numerous important forum posts and wiki articles written by users and developers. We reference these pages a lot, and decided to put them together in a convenient list.
Write clearly, be nice to others, and be very careful when posting anything related to politics or religion. When asking for help, remember that everyone here is a volunteer. Prefer editing your previous post over double posting. No animated avatars or graphical signatures. Don’t plagiarize other’s...
This forum is a place where people can post ideas they have had for the game. It could be anything related to Wesnoth. From new features for UMC authors, to a small improvement to the help menu, to a new Wesnoth-related Web application. When you have an idea, but no work (yet), this is the place....
We should make ranged attacks actually ranged. Also I have a great brand new idea, we should add werewolves and an ability called darkens that is an anti illumination.
Also change out undead for rock men because I am personally offended by undead existing. :twisted: :twisted: ^_^
Consider a unit which has too many abilities (or the names are too long) to be displayed on the right hand unit panel in the main gui, and you hover over the last (possibly partially) visible item or the ellipsis.
If the length of the list of all abilites info is relatively short, the popup is...
ok, so i dont know if this is gonna sound appealing to anyone :hmm: , and i dont even know if it belongs to this forum, but i recently got into that whole d&d style of game, where you think of a character and imagine what they would do in a fictional world (its more complicated that this but im...
Below I have listed some hopefully KISS abilities and weapon special that would be cool. Feel free to tell me if im being a ninny
ABILITIES:
1. Prowler
My idea for this is an ambush but for grass. Might be a bit overpowered though. Units that could benefit from this would be some sort of saurian,...
Many necromancers and liches bear the name/title Mal what seems to be some common name for necromancers. Sometimes, however, it seems to be some distorted form of the necromancer's first name after transformation into lich (Mebrin became Mal M'Brin) or first and last name (Malin Keshar became Mal...
In the first scenario of Descent into Darkness, we also have some soldiers (spearmen, bowmen) in Malin's team who are clearly unwilling to fight in his team and there is no confrontation (diplomatic or physical) only because of the ongoing orc attack. I propose creating a two-flag system for this...
Hey i was wondering, is there, or coul i perhaps request some fun twitch integrations for Wesnoth?
Ive been playing it for over a decade and love the game, and a year or so back i started streaming, and find it a great opportunity to have some integrations, like Units are named after chat-members...
Since the dwarvish miner has become a part of mainline units maybe make the dwarvish equivalent of a human peasant? (I think that's what a standard dwarf could do). He could be advanced to a dwarvish warrior, a dwarvish thunderer or a dwarven scout.
I don't think rebels is a good name for an elven faction. I think the name comes from Heir to the Throne but were the elves really rebels? As far as I know the forests inhabited by elves were not part of the kingdom of Wesnoth and elves were not subjects of Asheviere so they could not rebel. They...
Each time a translatable string is changed in mainline content (code for UI or WML/lua for content) the corresponding translations in all languages become fuzzy . It highlights that people needs to check the translation again to see if it is valid.
It is up to the translation team to remove the...
This topic is dedicated to expanding the political and social history of orcs. You may post any ideas you have on the topic. There is relatively little on orcs in the history of Irdya. While many campaigns show orcs, as far as I know onlyone orcish clan is named and we very little history of orcs....
takes a max_value, but does not have a min_value (or max_negative_value, which may be a little easier to understand).
LotI has an ability called adamant, which triples resistances, but only up max_value=80%. However, it also has a penetration special, which has an effect to lower resistance of...
For people who live in the northern Hemisphere (about 90% of people), the sun rises on the left and sets on the right. So it's odd that Wesnoth does it the other way around. I also have difficulty getting used to it, constantly second-guessing and double-checking. So can we get an option to reverse...
I would swear I saw this somewhere, but I can't find it now.
A UMC may implement a custom poison-like status (loti's incinerate for example) which can be cured by a healer or village. Therefore, it would be helpful if there was a way to inform the AI that, for some reason it does not understand, a...
One of the things that bothers me is the permanent character of the halos of the Mage of Light and other units with the illuminates ability, which forces them to program only a permanent illumination applied only to the possessor of the ability.
Adding the halo ability does not change anything...
In the right panel, just above the image of the selected unit, is a picture of the time of day with a useful tooltip. I would like to be able to see the tooltip for a tile that does not have a unit standing on it.
This whole thing seems rather odd to me. If I click on a unit, the right panel shows...
I have some requests listed here in order of perceived importance:
1. --Edit: This feature does already exist. --
2. A function to place a halo -type multihex image that is layered above the tiles but underneath the units would enable modders to create a lot more beauty.
I'm asking if it is technically possible to make the wiki (or parts of it) into .po files related to the the Wesnoth-manual or in a separate section.
(I don't know if I described the feature correctly).
the purpose is to make the wiki easily accessible to Translation instead of adding pages each...
Currently bats are pretty weak, they are scouts but they are lvl zero which means they can’t fight other scouts. They also cost thirteen gold, even blood bats can’t fight lvl 1s that well. My proposal is to buff health for the bats by somewhere around two heath or to cut their cost by one gold. As...
In standard meaning a marksman is defined as a person skilled in shooting.
The Arif line in the Khalifate have marksman on melee attacks, which bugs me a bit. It's not a world-ending problem, but if others agree that it's an issue then we might as well look at how to resolve it.
When selecting from custom AMLAs, the campaign author may have more to say than fits in the description field. Adding tooltip support seems like it'd be an easy enhancement.
I'm looking to recall some chaotic units (who isn't these days?). But I can't search for them in the recall menu, I assume because chaotic doesn't show on the gui, it's an image. But wait, it's right there in the tooltip. Perhaps if the search included tooltips?
I have been working a bit on a mod to improve support to replay saves from old versions.
This feature is desired by various people in the community of competitive 1v1 wesnoth.
Since then, I've checked different broadcasters that I find quite interesting and entertaining. Still sometimes I can't...
I was recently playing eastern invasion and it seems that Mal Ravanal is a unique unit, a lich lord. However the lich lord is just a copy paste of the ancient lich. I’d say that changing the portrait, description, or both would be a good idea. Otherwise I think that Mal Ravanal should be changed to...
In my opinion all units that can heal others should also be able to self heal. Elf shaman for example: If she can heal another unit for 4 hp why she cant self heal for the same 4hp?
It doent makes sense at all. Also, I dont think they would be overpowered with this.
I know the battle for wesnoth could use more resources and attention, and i have seen some well crafted tutorials made on various aspects of the game and how to developh UMC, so maybe it could be a nice idea to use the youtube channel (wich doesn't have a lot of videos, and most of them are...
So this is an incomplete idea I just had: mainline campaigns add-on tree .
So, say we have 6 core campaigns of Wesnoth.
What if, after someone (a genuinely new player that is) has played through these, additional campaigns related to the main storyline are unlocked ?
For instance, that thing...
