No string changes, just adjusting when the hints at the top-left of the screen
appear and disappear.
The hint about crowns now appears after recruiting both elves, so that there
are units to compare the leader to, who have the same orb color but no crown.
The hint about traits appears when told to attack the quintain with the elves.
The player will probably find a strong or dexterous trait, and Delfador already
comments about those traits after attacking. Even if neither elf has those,
speedy or robust could also influence whether to use melee or ranged attacks.
There's now no hint on screen when first choosing which village to use for
healing; previously it was the hint about crowns which didn't seem relevant.
No strings are added in this commit, but a hint about checking the quintain's
movement range would fit here, see <https://r.wesnoth.org/t54644>.
(cherry picked from commit f7a0f119de)
When a unit data passed to `to_map` either lacks a side or has
side zero, implementation automatically sets it to 1, thus the
existing code worked fine. However:
1. The lack of a `side` could trigger a warning in EmmyLua. It
currently doesn't trigger that, but would with Celtic Minstrel's
planned improvements in Wesnoth's lint hints.
2. The tutorial should be good example code, and the special-case
in the C++ code that made this work is a case of "assume it's a
SP situation, and choose the result that benefits side 1".
Instead of being either complete or incomplete, achievements can now specify a value at which they will be considered complete. For such achievements that are not yet complete, a progress bar is added to the achievements dialog showing how close to completion the achievement is.
* Add basic achievements functionality.
This reads the mainline achievements.cfg and then all the achievements of each installed add-on.
This is intentionally handled separately from other WML loading so that:
a) All achievements and their status are able to be displayed on the main menu right after Wesnoth starts and regardless of which add-ons are active.
b) Add-ons can add additional achievements to other content, whether UMC or mainline. For example, a modification that adds more achievements for mainline campaigns.
Marking something as achieved is handled by the new [set_achieved] tag and whether an achievement has been completed can be checked via [has_achievement].
There is no attempt to prevent people from manually editing which achievements they've accomplished.
NOTE: These are *not* in any way related to Steam achievements!
This returns a label handle which allows you to remove, reposition, or replace the label later.
In addition to all the features of wesnoth.print, you can now specify where the label appears onscreen, as well as a fadeout time separate from the duration.
You can also anchor the text to an edge or corner instead of centering in on the screen,
specify the maximum width it can occupy as an absolute width or a percentage,
and specify a background colour and transparency.
It includes a demo scenario that demonstrates many of the capabilities of the API.
To play the demo scenario, run with -toverlay_text_demo or select it from the in-game test list.
* Revise capitalisation as per https://wiki.wesnoth.org/ProseStyle
Capitalisation of race names was inconsistent in parts, even within the same scenario in some cases.
As per https://wiki.wesnoth.org/ProseStyle, race names are generally lower-case unless part of unit or place names, or a specific group (such as 'Quenoth Elves'):
* Elf/Elves/Elvish/Elven
* Drakes
* Dwarf/Dwarves/Dwarvish/Dwarven
* Goblins
* Gryphons
* Humans
* Mer/Merfolk
* Nagas
* Ogres
* Orcs
* Saurians
* Trolls
* Woses
I substitute 'human' for 'men' on occasion, not for PC-ness, but to make it clear it's a reference to the race, not males (non-humans sometimes say 'men' when speaking to fellow male soldiers, for example).
Capitalisation of titles is a little less straightforward. Clearly cases such as King Haldric, Queen Asheviere, Prince of Wesnoth, Great Chief, etc, are capitalised.
However, use of a title alone can be valid with or without capital, eg 'the king/King'. I try to be consistent and consider the context:
* Title is used in place of the name, eg compare 'by the King's order' with 'by Garard's order'
* Would the speaker show respect to the person concerned as their leader, or a foreign dignitary? Contrast, 'Asheviere, that vile queen'.
* Compare 'my king' with 'my father' (latter is not usually capitalised in everyday English)
* Occasionally, when the speaker may not otherwise know a character's name or the correct protocol to address, may say something like 'Sir Elf'.
I apologise if I run counter to previous revisions - removal of 'princess' as a direct address in Northern Rebirth, for example, also dealt with the capitalisation issue, if I recall correctly.
Miscellaneous changes:
* Magi, as plural of mage, is not usually capitalised.
* Council may be capitalised when referring to a specific instance, such as the Elvish High Council in the Ka'lian, but not in instances such as 'making council'.
The review focused solely on campaign prose - there may be cases in other data files where capitalisation needs revising too.
* Capitalise proper noun use of 'kingdom'.
Just as England may be referred to as such on its own, it was also known as the Kingdom of England.
In the same way, Wesnoth is usually referred to simply as Wesnoth, but it would be formally called the Kingdom of Wesnoth.
* Capitalise 'majesty' when used as an address.
For consistency with existing instances of 'Your Majesty'.
* Capitalise 'Land of the Dead'.
While we might not normally refer to such as a place as a proper noun, Delfador's Memoirs seems to establish this as a specific location in Wesnoth lore.
For consistency, also capitalise a few references to this place in Northern Rebirth and Son of the Black-Eye.
(Granted, this does make Iliah-Malal's line in DM S18 seem a bit awkward, contrasting with 'land of the living', but the precedent has been set throughout the rest of the campaign.)
* Capitalise instances of the Book of Crelanu.
I leave book as lower-case when it's not yet famously known as the Book of Crelanu, such as in Legend of Wesmere, as well as in DM S15, where it is simply described as a book belonging to the old mage Crelanu.
* Harbour of Tirigaz does not appear to be a formal (capitalised) name.
In S12, Tirigaz is only described as a 'harbour'. Other instances of Tirigaz describes it as (lower-case) a port city.
[ci skip]
Remove the maximum size for the character-select dialog, the window will
automatically choose the minimum size that fits the text.
Extend the map 1 hex south. This means that, if the full map fits on screen,
the horizontal center of the map (where the print statements appear) is between
the keep and the south village, thus their labels don't overlap the print
statements.
A player can follow Dacyn's instructions to the letter, yet get
killed if they choose a village 2 hexes away from the Quintain on
turn 2.
There are better suggestions about handling this in
https://r.wesnoth.org/t54644 , however during the string-freeze
let's simply make the Quintain stay on its starting spot on turn 1.
Add a CLEAR_PRINT because the player has just completed the
"End your turn" instruction.
(cherry picked from commit b02b1ad2ff)
In 1.14, the default was 50 frames, or around 1.7 seconds. In 1.15.4, commit
a9d9e48c72 changed the interpretation of that
number to milliseconds, but missed that this affected the [print] tag; this
left the default time that the text is shown as an unreadable 50ms.
All places in mainline that use [print] specify a duration, so the default
isn't used. Here I've plucked the new value from UtBS S09, where it was chosen
in f405b916a1.
The special value "unlimited" is now recognised as meaning to display the text
until it's removed by another [print] tag. The tutorial uses this special case
to display the text until the player does the requested move - originally it
displayed the text for 10000 frames (around 40 minutes), which still seemed
reasonable when it changed to 10000ms.
One of these uses bold for the menu's name, the other uses italic, because that
seems more consistent with the other hints in the same context.
Re-attach the comment about upkeep to the correct [event], and move the comment
about the easter-egg event to the start of its [event].
The problem is that right now Libera.Chat does not have a web chat
interface, and no guarantee as to what its URLs are gonna be like
; although staff have said they're probably gonna stick to the same stack
as before so we might end up with very similar looking URLs.
For the time being, we have to get rid of the webchat URLs. They will be
missed a bit. Maybe.
Before anybody asks, yes, I am aware of the po comments in German
translation catalogues including a freenode IRC protocol URL. If I do
anything about it now, somebody will helpfully revert my changes during
a message catalogue merge (it happened some time ago). So, not touching
those until release time.
Also nobody cares about Travis anymore. It's dead cruft, just leave it
alone. (What on earth is that massive base64 string anyway?)
CC #5797
This covers everything:
- SotA zombie dialog (was mostly converted already, just needed module name update)
- The remaining minor World Conquest dialogs that had yet to be converted
- Tutorial character select
- Test scenario sample dialog
This also replaces any uses of "callback" in favour of "on_xxx".
Add more reminding PRINT messages, disallow_end_turn messages, and fix a bug where player can just capture village and end turn without recruiting/recalling units.
For both [scenario]map_file= and [replace_map]map_file=, this allows both of
these to have the same effect:
* map_file=campaigns/Heir_To_The_Throne/maps/01_The_Elves_Besieged.map
* map_file=01_The_Elves_Besieged.map
This allows a lot of copies of the campaign/add-on's name to be omitted. Thus
it's no longer necessary to change every scenario's .cfg file to rename an
add-on, or to move a campaign between UMC and mainline.
This makes [binary_path] a misnomer, as it now also handles a text-based type
of file, however that's going to be the correct path for campaigns or add-ons
that use the standard layout with images/, maps/, scenarios/, etc.
This commit has the change itself, in filesystem_common.cpp, and the updates
for most of the campaigns. DM, LoW, UtBS and WoV are omitted from this, as they
all use a macro to do the same effect:
#define MEMOIRS_MAP NAME
- map_file=campaigns/Delfadors_Memoirs/maps/{NAME}
+ map_file={NAME}
#enddef
