map editor for ios

Post by ChrundleTheGreat »

i have the game on my ipad and im working on a campaign, and i think i see missed potential on the map editor not being enabled on the ipad,
i know there is probably a reason why it wasnt included in that version but i think it would be more fun and practical and intuitive to make the maps in the touch screen, that it is on the computer.
There could even be a "shift" button added so you can select the layer of the terrain, and acces to the files could be made easier, but i dont see the problem with adding a map editor on ios.

This likely wasn’t added due to the limitations of iOS not allowing its use in making add-ons, though I still think it could be a good feature on its own. However, it probably won’t get added, as Wesnoth is no longer updated or maintained for iOS/ipadOS.

I’m not sure of the specifics, but the developer seems to have stopped giving updates since 2021, and I believe Pentarctagon has said that noone is developing it. Ultimately, iOS is stuck on 1.14.13. Android (which is a separate version) has a similar situation, and it is also stuck on 1.14. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like anybody is going to come back to develop these for now, so I don’t think these suggestions will end up being added.
