Link to Wesnoth site
Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir, or use your dread power over the Undead to dominate the land of mortals, or lead your glorious Orcish tribe to victory against the humans who dared despoil your lands. Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played out. You can create your own custom units, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge your friends or strangers and fight multi-player epic fantasy battles.

I think the latest stable one is 1.2.4 while the latest 1.3.2 version is a development version so to me i think is still beta.
Man, i really have to start playing this online with other Amigans. 
As soon as i install this, i might start playing against you all. I should warn that i'm not very good as this type of game but from what i can see it's great fun.

| From the readme :
Quote:
Some known issues/problems and their solutions:
1. The game may occasionally ask for volume "data/SOUND_LIST:".
Solution: Select "Assign" from the requester and assign it to "RAM:". Usually
only happens when the caches are being generated (i.e. first time game is
being run, starting a new campaign for the first time, ...).
|
This is *so* wrong to "fix" that issue that way...
SOUND_LIST:blah is a macro in their config language that is meant to be expanded to blah-1.ogg, .... blah-n.ogg.
For some reason, SOUND_LIST is not processed, probably because it's a bug in experimental wesnoth, or maybe it's a bug in the port, I can't tell. So it effectively thinks the sound to load is "data/sound_list:something".
That issue, if it's not only happening in OS4, should be reported to wesnoth developpers.
In any case, that means you'll miss sounds in fight events for instance. |

The way I figured it was an OS4 only problem. Only on AmigaOS does the ':' character have a special meaning and I figured maybe the code was trying to open using the file name as is before expanding (or whatever), on other OSes this would fail silently while on OS4 there is a requster. Of course this could also be the reason why it hasn't been noticed/fixed already (1.3.1 was the first version with this issue).
I'll look into it though when I get the time, maybe see if I can get it fixed properly (the requester is quite annoying in any case). That will have to wait until end of next week (at least) though as I'm not near my A1 at the moment. Last edited by salass00 on 04-May-2007 at 05:36 PM.

| From a player's point of view, there's two main reasons why to go for a 1.3.x:
* you can set friends/morons in settings to see in the lobby player list
* all the units got boring anims
Though, 1.3.2 is still pretty unstable script-wise (not the amiga port itself!) as there are lotsa things to be updated (okay at some ver 1.3.4-1.3.6). |
