first_scenario= breaks between 1.10 and 1.12 ?

[markm]

I started to prepare my UMC for 1.12, starting with the Between the Worlds campaign.

I got rid of whitespace in unit file names and ran wmllint, but when I try to load the campaign it says Unknown scenario: 00a_Who_are_you

I have not seen anything in the how to upgrade from 1.10 to 1.12 indicating that first_scenario works differently in 1.12 or needs to be at some different position within the _main.cfg in 1.12 so am not sure where to look next for clues as to why 1.12 cannot find that scenario.

However, I have not completely cleaned out all wmllint problems from the 1.10 side; on both 1.10 and 1.12 the error output, which I separate out using 2>lint.err, says:

Code: Select all

"units/space/Doctor.cfg", line 9: attempt to close empty scope at end of macro line 9
"units/space/Doctor.cfg", line 68: attempt to close empty scope at [/unit_type] line 68

The macros on/near line 9 are core macros. It is mysterious to me, but therefore might maybe relate to a user interface problem that is also mysterious to me, in which the damage value of a weapon in the sidepanel showing a unit shows up coloured sometimes, and doubled sometimes. I see this lately on Time Lad when he is in the paths of time scenario.

So I am thinking maybe somewhere seemingly unrelated to all this there must be an unclosed macro-definition or something like that. Maybe far into the past by the time the system gets to the doctor unit.

The doctor unit does start and end with [unit_type] and [/unit_type] so maybe something in that file must be macro-expanding into something that contains a [/unit_type] itself? Maybe without having a corresponding [unit_type} ahead of it? But they are all core macros...

One error is clearly in this line:

Code: Select all

description= _ ""+{SPECIAL_NOTES}+(SPECIAL_NOTES_CURES}

but when I try to load the campaign it says Unknown scenario: 00a_Who_are_you

This is not a very informative error message, you should look into wesnoths stderr for a better error message.
