Re: Vendraxis Prophecy, 1.16, Saurian Campaign
Looks rather good. Very interesting for me were the new saurian units I only have caveats for the undead types. I think they should be rather from undead race than saurian and their sounds also should be more like undead. Good luck!

About scenario one
So in scenario on I skipped through the opening dialogue because it felt a bit long and like characters were saying things just to have something to say. It feels just a bit annoying to have "this is a test" repeated three times. I'd also appreciate it if the stated victory condition in "objectives" was a bit more specific. What, exactly, do I need to do to finish the hunt? Granted not everyone will open that tab to see what they need to do after missing most of the details because they skimmed the dialogue which is what I did but I'd still appreciate something clearer like "defeat all enemy units" or "kill all animals". I did have fun playing the scenario which is arguably the most important thing so that's good. The animal enemies were also quite interesting to fight against, especially with, Looking forward to playing more of the campaign.

@holypaladin I will introduce it when 1.17 drops. That's a good hint to change the sound files.
@littledragon I'll check the dialogue. Maybe I can shorten it. I wanted to introduce the two main characters. I'll change the objective description.
Every little feedback helps me a lot. Thank you
P.S. the changes will not be that quick like in the past. Nowadays I'm a bit busy sadly.

Just to say: I only managed to read the files and I really liked your works. Good workRefumee wrote: ↑November 28th, 2023, 6:53 pm @holypaladin I will introduce it when 1.17 drops. That's a good hint to change the sound files.

New Update is up.
Changed the sound files for the ghost skirmisher, changed the objective description for S01, all Saurian undeads are now of race undead.

Re: Vendraxis Prophecy, 1.16/1.17, Saurian Campaign
Ported the Campaign to Wesnoth Version 1.17. The only real difference is the library. I grouped up all the subfactions.
Re: Vendraxis Prophecy, 1.16/1.17, Saurian Campaign
Would like to point out that you uploaded it to the 1.18 server instead of the 1.17 server.
Re: Vendraxis Prophecy, 1.16/1.17, Saurian Campaign
Oh? Where can I see that? I downloaded the Wesnoth Version 1.17.26 and then connected to the add-on server.
Edit: found it (Server Stable 1.18 (Wesnoth Version 1.17.26–1.18.x))

Updated the Campaign.
I added Achievements and new dialog (nothing special) with help of AI.
Several Bugfixes what I found while testing, as well new bugs (fixed) with the new version.

Proofread version of scenario 1
I've attached a corrected version of scenario 1 and the _main.cfg with this. I think you will greatly benefit from having a good spellchecker. Also, please read inside Scenario 1, I've found one dialog weird which I've marked with comments (along with my reasoning). You can use a Diff tool like meld to check what I've changed.

Thank you for the correction of the main.cfg. There was a major bug via porting to 1.17.26.
You mean a spellchecker like Word?
Maybe there is a spellchecker for Notepad++.
I'll check that later.
To your S01 comment:
I can still change it. For me it made sense.
And you asked on Dicord for the description of the server.pbl:

To your S01 comment:
Zanza doesn't know what an exam is, but she tries to sounds like a educated saurian "like the augurs". In the end she asks Anexir what that word exactly means.### Zanza knows what is a test, but she doesn't know what's an 'exam'? Why?
### Besides, IMO 'I'm not prepared for an exam' and 'what is an exam?' contradict.
### The first implies that she already knows what an 'exam' means. -- LumiousE

And you asked on Dicord for the description of the server.pbl:
I used winmerge to see the difference of the documents.description="I created an small saurian campaign with 8 scenarios, based on a prophecy from a saurian soothsayer called Vendraxis. He is know for the campaign Secret of the Ancients. I also added an Era with deep-saurians a independet saurian faction for tests.

I just suggested an idea. Whether you change it or not is your choice.Zanza doesn't know what an exam is, but she tries to sounds like a educated saurian "like the augurs". In the end she asks Anexir what that word exactly means.

Corrected :

Anything that can find wrongly spelt English words and punctuation mistakes. In Linux I use gedit's spellcheck plugin, which probably uses something like aspell or hunspell. (If you end up using Word, make sure your cfg file doesn't get corrupted. Exporting as plain text utf-8 should do it.)You mean a spellchecker like Word?

Scenario 1 : Seemed fine. The player can probably get away by spamming ranged units (young saurian not needed), since all the units the Scorpion recruits are melee.
Perhaps this can be reworded :
Zanza has just succeeded in her exam
Unit art for Saurian Wise is missing. See the screenshot.

like this :Zanza has just finished her exam and succeeded
