[engine] ruined village suggestion

[Spannerbag]

I think maybe the error message is spurious, or perhaps it's a bug in Wesnoth, because I can see the same error message in mainline. For example, the following save file gives me the error message Error while loading the map: Unknown tile in map: (Cyd) 'Cyd'. But it still loads OK...

Well, if mainline campaigns have this message and work OK that confirms my experience; I haven't had any issues relating to that terrain in gameplay or editor. I do have a problem with terrain masks (in another campaign I'm working on) but will revisit that when I resume developing that (I want to get this current campaign almost done then will decide whether to release on 1.16 or tweak for 1.18).

Thanks for the comment, good to know

Cheers!

Erm, those are officially supported - {./scenarios} is used in 1.16's World Conquest, and they're both used in 1.17's Winds of Fate.

I haven't been able to find any information confirming this. Is it supported in the game's code, or does it just tend to work because of where _main.cfg is usually located?

Just because of where the scenarios are relative to _main.cfg, when using the de-facto standard layout for campaigns.

The error probably comes from trying to show the minimap when loading the save. When you actually load the save the terrain will be defined because the campaign define will be set. After you loaded the save once (or started the campaign some other way) the error should be gone and you should see the minimap in the load dialog because the terrain is now known.

It's documented here. It's a relative include so it does indeed depend on where the include is.
