Wiki Resources

Reporting Bugs

If you are experiencing problems, you should consider reporting a bug.

Before asking for help with some technical problem in the official forums, please read How to report a bug properly for instructions and pointers.

Forums

IRC

If you don't know what Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is, check out Wikipedia's article and IRCHelp.org.

All of the following channels are hosted at the freenode IRC network unless otherwise noted. If you don't have an IRC client installed on your machine or are behind a strict firewall that blocks freenode's supported ports, you can use a compatible Web gateway service such as webchat.freenode.net.

  • #wesnoth-dev: The development discussion channel. Most contributors and developers (WML, C++ and art people alike) hang around here, exchanging ideas and code patches.
  • #wesnoth-mp: The multiplayer servers' status and development discussion channel.

International channels

You can also see the logs of some official Wesnoth channels.
