=== Terrain Graphics ===
====Description====
Wesnoth has a wide variety of terrain tiles, but we would like to add more, and improve some of the existing ones. Tasks include animating existing terrains, creating additional variations for an existing terrain, modifying an existing terrain to create a new type, and making a new terrain from scratch.
See [[http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=30393&start=0 this post]] for a list of "Needed New Terrains".

====Requirements====
Proficiency with a "painting" application such as Photoshop or GIMP. General Artistic skill.

====Time====
Depending on the complexity of the terrain, and the number images it might take a few hours up to 20 hours.

====Difficulty====
For a student with the necessary skills, the difficulty range from moderate to hard.

====Deliverable====
The final deliverable should include:
1) screenshots of the new/improved terrain in the Wesnoth Map Editor mixed with other terrains
2) the .PNGs images of the terrain.
3) if relevant, the layered work file(s)

=== Translations / Internationalization ===
==== Description ====
You work on translating some specific content from English into the lang of your choice (we will have to provide a list of possible translations that are offered, since an active maintainer for the language is mandatory). The specific work could eg be translating a smaller campaign, the unit descriptions for a race, translating a number of scenarios of one of the larger campaigns, proofreading and polishing some already translated content and things along those lines.

==== Requirement (expected technical knowledge) ====
For this task there is not much technical knowledge required. You just need to be able to open a text file in either a text editor or a special program for internationalizations. You need to have some basic knowledge of English (since this is the origin language) and need to be able to produce "correct" text of the language you want to translate things into.

When proofreading you should be able to handle a tool like "diff" so that you can provide some diff/patch for the already existing translations.

==== expected time for completion ====
The time for completion depends on the content and what you are doing. It can be anything between 4h and maybe 10h. It is not expected that a huge campaign is translated as one "working block" and things have to be split to be of "just the right size".

==== difficulty ====
Hard to say. In general it is a rather easy task, though it is really difficult to do it "perfectly". Basically you have to be able to tell a good story. If you are good at doing this, it is easy. If you have extreme problems with the language you want to translate into and are not much into writing stuff this is a really hard task.

==== deliverable/expected proof ====
For a new translation there would be the new translation file. When proofreading there would be the diff correcting issues and recommending possible changes.

===AI recruitment algorithm===

====Description====
Wesnoth AI has to select what units to recruit. AI leader stands on keep and can recruit a number of units, up to the number of free hexes in his castle. AI can choose between a number of different unit types. Each unit type costs a certain amount of gold to recruit and the AI knows how good a specific unit is, and should try to recruit better unit types. AI knows how many units of a particular type it has at the moment and the scenario creators want to limit the amount of units of a certain type that the AI can have at the same time. There should be a tunable parameter that will tell the AI to go either for a mass of low-cost low-quality units or few high-cost high-quality units.
====Input====
# (integer) gold
# (integer) maximum number of units to be recruited
# (double) quantity vs quality - 0 means 'go for mass of low-quality units', 1 means 'go for few high-quality units), and other values are in between
# table of potential recruits
## (string) recruit name
## (integer) cost to recruit
## (double) how good each unit is
## (integer) current quantity
## (integer) maximum quantity

====Output====
a list of units to be recruited.
====Example input====
# AI has 120 gold
# Up to 5 units are to be recruited
# go for quality (1.0)
# table of potential recruits
{| border="1"
|+
| Recruit name
| Cost to recruit
| How good this unit is
| Current Qty
| Maximum Qty
|-
| Spearman
| 13gp
| 12.6
| 1
| 10
|-
| Royal Guard
| 30gp
| 40.0
| 0
| 2
|}

====Example output====
Royal Guard, Royal Guard, Spearman, Spearman, Spearman

(we go for quality but we can recruit up to 2 royal guards, so the rest of 5 units are spearmans)

====Difficulty====
Should not be too difficult. But, you need to know either C++ or lua, and you need to think out and code a good algorithm for picking out the units to be recruited.
====Deliverable/expected proof====
We will provide a incomplete program that provides the correct input and you must complete it, coding a suitable recruitment algorithm.

=== Testing of mainline campaigns ===
Wesnoth ships with 16 campaigns which total over 200 scenarios, each one with varying amounts of events, dialogue, cutscenes, special gameplay mechanics, and so on. It's inevitable that many scenarios contain bugs which have gone unnoticed or unreported. Also, most scenarios were originally written a long time ago when the game engine was much less versatile, meaning that some scenario mechanics don't function as naturally and conveniently as they could.

This task involves picking a mainline campaign, playing through it and reporting in as much detail as possible all bugs and glitches encountered as well as suggestions for improvement. Campaigns vary greatly in length, so you could pick either one long campaign or 2-3 of the shorter ones. Campaigns with scenario branching should get all their branches tested.

Campaigns to choose from (list is subject to change) in a roughly prioritized order:
*Dead Water
*Heir to the Throne
*Rise of Wesnoth
*Eastern Invasion
*Under the Burning Suns
*The South Guard
*Liberty
*Son of the Black-Eye
*Northern Rebirth

==== Requirements ====
Reasonably familiar with Wesnoth campaigns, so as to be able to identify bugs and suggest realistically doable gameplay-enhancing changes in detail. No coding in WML or otherwise required.

==== Difficulty ====
Depending on the student's skill medium to low. Students able to learn WML and fix bugs would increase the difficulty.

====Deliverable/expected proof====
Depending on the campaign there maybe specific tasks or targets, however all will require about 50 hours of work at a minimum (possibly up to 80 hours.) Students must contact the project for details.

Most of the following is extremely out of date...

Also known as Jwbjerk. My involvement in Wesnoth is primarily in the terrain art, I've recently taken a strong interest in the visual aspects of the GUI, done various menial graphics tasks.

>> Currently i'm intermittently active in Wesnoth, but can be reached by PM, and is happy to provide information or source files on things that i've left unfinished.

I'm working on a scenario, currently in mostly my head. It's title will abbreviated to MoaS, so i'm reserving that.

In real life i'm a Graphic Designer and Mac trouble shooter.
I joined Wesnoth in fall '04 contributed for a few months, left for a year to try and start a buisness.
Now i'm back...

And then life intervened. I wasn't active in Wesnoth at all during '06 but would like to come back someday...

Worked on stuff during '06 and '07.

==In Progress: (on hold)==
*Visual Enhancements to the GUI
** Info Panel
** Attack Dialogue
** HP & XP bars
*Terrain
**Chasm: transitions need to be improved.

===Planned:===
* Finish animated water
* new grasses
*Cave:
** add a "nice/civilized" cave variant.
*take over the world.

===Completed:===
*Crossroads sign (first contribution :) )
*First to use semi-transparent tile transtions
*Fog (transparent transitions)
*Void/Shroud (transparent transitions)
*Deep Water (soon to be replaced)
*Shallow Water (soon to be replaced)
*Ford
*Bridges
*Beach
*Mountains 1.0 (superseded by Frame's masterpiece in Trunk)
*Chasm
*Lava (aside from some transitions)
*Cave Wall
*Cave floor
*Iluminated Cave Floor
*Great Elven Tree
*flowering grassland
*revised Merfolk Village
*new Semi-dry Grass "savanna"
*new Green Grass

Note: the old (1.2) terrain system is no longer documented here. If you have 1.2 maps you will need to convert them using [[Maintenance_tools|wmllint]].

== Terrain strings ==

The following rules hold for terrain strings. Note most of these rules are not validated since it would slow down Wesnoth; not following these rules might break Wesnoth.

* terrain strings are composed from one or more terrain codes of 2 to 4 characters each, separated by ^.
* terrain codes start with a capital letter and the following letters are lower case
* terrain strings can only contain letters, the symbols /|\ which are meant for directional items like bridges and the symbol ^
* the underscore is used as a leader for internal terrain codes
* the star '*' can be used for wildcards in some places where a terrain code is required
* the symbol ^ indicates that a terrain is created with layers, for example Gs^Fp means Forest(Fp) overlayer on Savanna(Gs).

Starting positions are defined by a number followed by 1 space and then the terrain string; this means that a starting position is no longer automatically a keep.

The letters Y,y,Z,z are reserved for UMC so any string containing any of these letters is a custom terrain. Other undefined terrain strings are reserved for future expansion within Wesnoth.

=== Terrain Table ===
This is a list of the terrains, the strings used for them in the new map format, the letters used for them in the old map format, their id and the terrains they take their stats from.

This list is out of date, as most overlays can be combined at will with any base, also it doesn't seem to include recent additions.

== Adding terrains ==
When adding terrains make sure the following files are also checked:

data/multiplayer/factions/* contains favorite positions for the different factions, this is only used for the random map generator at the moment so it is not very important.

data/core/macros/abilities.cfg contains the definition of ''submerge'' and ''ambush'' so depending on the change these need to be updated.

== Decoding the Terrain Codes ==
The initial letters of each terrain code have a standard meaning, though some are not obvious.
* A = “Arctic” i.e. frozen
* B = “Bridge”
* C = “Castle”
* D = “Desert”
* E = "Embellishment"
* F = “Forest”
* G = “Grass”
* H = “Hills”
* I = "Interior" (possible future use)
* J = ''testing''
* K = “Keep”
* L
* M = “Mountains”
* N
* O
* P
* Q = "Un-walkable"
* R = “Road”
* S = “Swamp”
* T
* U = “Underground”
* V = “Village”
* W = “Water”
* X = "Impassable"
* Y = ''Reserved for UMC''
* Z = ''Reserved for UMC''
* _ = "special system stuff"

Additional letters are not always follow the same meaning, but are as consistent as possible.

* \, |, / = for indicating the direction of bridges
* a =
* b =
* c = "city"
* d = "dry or desert, deciduous"
* e = "encampment"
* f = "flowers, fall"
* g
* h = "human"
* i = "ice"
* j
* k
* l = "lava"
* m = "mixed"
* n
* o = "orc"
* p = "pine"
* q
* r
* s = "simple"
* t
* u = "underground"
* v = "elvish"
* w
* x = "chasm"
* y = ''Reserved for UMC''
* z = ''Reserved for UMC''

== Adding terrains ==
When adding terrains make sure the following files are also checked:

data/multiplayer/factions/* contains favorite positions for the different factions, this is only used for the random map generator at the moment so it is not very important.

data/core/macros/abilities.cfg contains the definition of ''submerge'' and ''ambush'' so depending on the change these need to be updated.

== Decoding the Terrain Codes ==
The initial letters of each terrain code have a standard meaning, though some are not obvious.
* A = “Arctic” i.e. frozen
* B = “Bridge”
* C = “Castle”
* D = “Desert”
* E = "Embellishment"
* F = “Forest”
* G = “Grass”
* H = “Hills”
* I = "Interior" (possible future use)
* J = ''reserved''
* K = “Keep”
* L = ''reserved''
* M = “Mountains”
* N = ''reserved''
* O = ''reserved''
* P = ''reserved''
* Q = "Un-walkable"
* R = “Road”
* S = “Swamp”
* T = ''reserved''
* U = “Underground”
* V = “Village”
* W = “Water”
* X = "Impassable"
* Y = ''Reserved for UMC''
* Z = ''Reserved for UMC''

Additional letters are not always follow the same meaning, but are as consistent as possible.

* \, |, / = for indicating the direction of bridges
* a =
* b =
* c = "city"
* d = "dry or desert, deciduous"
* e = "encampment"
* f = "flowers, fall"
* g
* h = "human"
* i = "ice"
* j
* k
* l = "lava"
* m = "mixed"
* n
* o = "orc"
* p = "pine"
* q
* r
* s = "simple"
* t
* u = "underground"
* v = "elvish"
* w
* x = "chasm"
* y = ''Reserved for UMC''
* z = ''Reserved for UMC''

Note: the old (1.2) terrain system is no longer documented here. If you have 1.2 maps you will need to convert them using [[Maintenance_tools|wmllint]].

== Terrain strings ==

The following rules hold for terrain strings. Note most of these rules are not validated since it would slow down Wesnoth; not following these rules might break Wesnoth.

* terrain strings are composed from one or more terrain codes of 2 to 4 characters each, separated by ^.
* terrain codes start with a capital letter and the following letters are lower case
* terrain strings can only contain letters, the symbols /|\ which are meant for directional items like bridges and the symbol ^
* the underscore is used as a leader for internal terrain codes
* the star '*' can be used for wildcards in some places where a terrain code is required
* the symbol ^ indicates that a terrain is created with layers, for example Gs^Fp means Forest(Fp) overlayer on Savanna(Gs).

Starting positions are defined by a number followed by 1 space and then the terrain string; this means that a starting position is no longer automatically a keep.

The letters Y,y,Z,z are reserved for UMC so any string containing any of these letters is a custom terrain. Other undefined terrain strings are reserved for future expansion within Wesnoth.

=== Terrain Table ===
This is a list of the terrains, the strings used for them in the new map format, the letters used for them in the old map format, their id and the terrains they take their stats from.

Welcome to the Battle for Wesnoth downloads page. The BFW project team only officially releases the source code. Binary packages are only provided by community volunteers and hosted here. Torrents are also unofficial.

If the latest binaries are not currently available for your OS, please check back in a few days to see if they have been placed here. Packagers have been informed of the release, please be patient. In the meantime, read the [[FAQ#A_new_version_is_out.2C_but_where_is_the_download_for_.5BWindows.2C_Mac_OS.2C_etc..5D.3F|FAQ]].

__NOTOC__
Jump to: [[Download#Stable_.281.8_branch.29|Stable Branch]] | [[Download#Stable_.28older_versions.29|Stable Branch (older versions)]] | [[Download#Development_.281.7_branch.29|Development Branch]]

== Stable (1.8 branch) ==
The stable files are meant to be used as a stable and rather balanced version of the game. Each version of the 1.8 branch is compatible to each other.

Version 1.8.2 is the latest stable version. This version is recommended for most players since the 1.8 online multiplayer community is very large and user-made campaign server has a robust content selection.

== Stable (older versions) ==
Several operating systems do not offer a binary of the latest stable release. Here is a list of the latest known (stable version) binaries for various systems. For those older versions there often is no (official) multiplayer or addon server available anymore.

== Development (1.7 branch) ==
Version 1.7.x was the previous development version.
At the moment the stable 1.8.x branch offers all the new features known from 1.7.x. The next development release will take some more time and be known as 1.9.x. In the mean time, people familiar with SVN can follow its development by checking [[WesnothSVN]].

== Adding terrains ==
When adding terrains make sure the following files are also checked:

data/multiplayer/factions/* contains favorite positions for the different factions, this is only used for the random map generator at the moment so it is not very important.

data/core/macros/abilities.cfg contains the definition of ''submerge'' and ''ambush'' so depending on the change these need to be updated.

== Decoding the Terrain Codes ==
The initial letters of each terrain code have a standard meaning, though some are not obvious.
* A = “Arctic” i.e. frozen
* B = “Bridge”
* C = “Castle”
* D = “Desert”
* F = “Forest”
* G = “Grass”
* H = “Hills”
* K = “Keep”
* M = “Mountains”
* Q = Un-walkable
* R = “Road”
* S = “Swamp”
* U = “Underground”
* V = “Village”
* W = “Water”
* X = Impassable

Eleazar: added new terrains

== Eleazar ==

Also known as Jwbjerk. My involvement in Wesnoth is primarily in the terrain art, I've recently taken a strong interest in the visual aspects of the GUI, done various menial graphics tasks.

>> Currently i'm intermittently active in Wesnoth, but can be reached by PM, and is happy to provide information or source files on things that i've left unfinished.

I'm working on a scenario, currently in mostly my head. It's title will abbreviated to MoaS, so i'm reserving that.

In real life i'm a Graphic Designer and Mac trouble shooter.
I joined Wesnoth in fall '04 contributed for a few months, left for a year to try and start a buisness.
Now i'm back...

And then life intervened. I wasn't active in Wesnoth at all during '06 but would like to come back someday...

Worked on stuff during '06 and '07.

==In Progress: (on hold)==
*Visual Enhancements to the GUI
** Info Panel
** Attack Dialogue
** HP & XP bars
*Terrain
**Chasm: transitions need to be improved.

===Planned:===
* Finish animated water
* new grasses
*Cave:
** add a "nice/civilized" cave variant.
*take over the world.

===Completed:===
*Crossroads sign (first contribution :) )
*First to use semi-transparent tile transtions
*Fog (transparent transitions)
*Void/Shroud (transparent transitions)
*Deep Water (soon to be replaced)
*Shallow Water (soon to be replaced)
*Ford
*Bridges
*Beach
*Mountains 1.0 (superseded by Frame's masterpiece in Trunk)
*Chasm
*Lava (aside from some transitions)
*Cave Wall
*Cave floor
*Iluminated Cave Floor
*Great Elven Tree
*flowering grassland
*revised Merfolk Village
*new Semi-dry Grass "savanna"
*new Green Grass

===Other changes:===

eleazar: Honestly i'm not quite sure how to do this one. People reasonably could try to do an illuminated cave village, which wouldn't work.

=== Possible changes ===

This one is nice for WML, but having the impassable string als overlay only might

=== Problematic changes ===

Chs Chs^Sr human ruin (swamp)
Ss Ss^Sr swamp
I'd like it, so you could add reed easily to other terrains, but it has some problems with the t-g WML (especially interacting with castle walls). If I can solve those, I'd like to make these changes.

|__TOC__

'''Big Note:''' It is possible to make graphics only in a program like MSPaint or Appleworks. There are, however, two major and '''vital''' things lacking in those programs - first, these programs cannot make images with transparent pixels, and second, they may not be able to save in the PNG format used by Wesnoth. A program capable of those will have to be applied to images made with MSPaint when they are finished.

=== Free Image Editors ===
The following are free image editing programs which can be used to create graphics for wesnoth. These programs are Open-Source Software, like wesnoth, meaning they are free to use, and that you are free to look at the sourcecode.

[http://www.gimp.org '''The GIMP'''] (for windows & linux); the "Gnu Image Manipulation Program" is recommended.

[http://seashore.sourceforge.net/ '''Seashore'''] (for mac) this port of the the GIMP to a cocoa-based gui is recommended. Seashore provides the basic features of GIMP.

[http://www.opensword.org/ '''Pixen'''] (for mac) is the OpenSword Group's tool for traditional SNES style sprite art - unlike most other editors, it has been designed for that specific task, and users may find it much less daunting than the Gimp or Photoshop. This program was written in cocoa, and has a very good interface - version 3 will even include built-in support for making animations.

[http://www.j-domain.de/homepage.php?page=20 '''JDraw'''] (for anything that can run Java - mac and windows included) is an image editor which has a subset of the features of Pixen, and a superset of the features of MSPaint. It is a simple, straightforward pixel editing program. If you use a mac, Pixen is probably a better idea.

[http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ '''Paint.net'''] (for windows) is generally regarded as inferior to the Gimp or Photoshop, but some might find it of interest.

[http://ase.sourceforge.net/ '''Allegro Sprite Editor'''] (for windows/linux) is a sprite editing program. Free/OSS, note that it is NOT capable of saving PNGs.

=== Free Image Post-Processors ===

[http://www.amake.us/software/pngcrusher/ '''PNGCrusher'''] (for mac) is a handy lightweight tool that will compress your PNGs much more efficiently than Photoshop. It is best used in tandem with saving the files from GraphicConverter, with the PNG filtering options on. The tool it is based on, OptiPNG, is open source, and runs on both linux and windows.

=== Proprietary Image Editors ===

==== Shareware ====
[http://www.lemkesoft.de/ '''GraphicConverter'''] (for mac) by Lemkesoft is an excellent program for preparing and compressing png images for the game, and may also be useful for the creation of images. The shareware fee is $30, although large parts of the program are fully functional for free.

[http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/ '''Pixel Image Editor'''] (for mac/windows/linux/BeOS/others) is a very full-featured program, intended to fulfill the same function that photoshop does. It currently has a shareware fee of $32, though the final price once the product reaches v2.0, will be $79.

[http://www.ultimatepaint.com/ '''JTL Ultimate Paint'''] (for windows) is a basic painting program, following the tradition of the earlier "DeluxePaint". Geared at painting, it can use photoshop plugins. It currently costs $34 for a basic version. I do not know if this program can export PNG images, so ''caveat emptor''.

[http://www.cosmigo.com/promotion/ '''Pro Motion'''] (for windows) is a commercial pixel editing program. It has many features tailored for animation and seamless square-tile creation, as well as features designed to ease the creation of images that would run in a game on the Game Boy Advance or a Mobile Phone platform. The price of the normal version is $78.

[http://www.humanbalance.net/gale/us/index.html '''GraphicsGale'''] (for windows) is a pixel editing program designed for animation. It has both a freeware version, and a 1995¥ (roughly $20) shareware version. Be warned that it can '''not''' save files in the PNG format.

==== Non-shareware ====
[http://www.adobe.com/ '''Photoshop or Photoshop Elements'''] (for windows & mac), these industry standard Adobe applications are available for ~$700 and ~$100, respectively (the prices vary depending on where you get them). If you can acquire the use of these programs through a business or academic situation, they are extremely powerful, and are more than capable of some very advanced sprite techniques which elude simple bitmap programs - the price, however, is likely too much of a barrier to entry for most contributors. Photoshop should have little advantage over Elements for creating unit and terrain art. Photoshop (and presumably Elements) does not compactly save PNG files. For space savings, Adobe users are recommended to resave final PNGs through Adobe's companion application ImageReady, or another application such as GraphicConverter or PNGCrusher. Note - the ImageReady compression can also be used by saving the files through the "Save for Web..." menu command within Photoshop, if ImageReady is installed.

==Reserved letters and non-letter Characters==
Reserved letters are for custom terrains in user-made campaigns. In addition to these it is currently also possible to use other characters not on the above list to represent custom terrain, such as ½ § @ % etc., but new "official" terrain may be assigned for these characters in the future. So when creating custom terrain, the letters marked as reserved on the above list should be used first.
Use campaign definitions (see [[CampaignWML]]) to prevent your custom terrains from interfering with other campaigns.

== Terrain strings '''''[[User:SkeletonCrew#Branch_terrain|(SVN terrain only)]]''''' ==
The terrains will be changed from a single letter to a multi letter system. There will be a compability layer for a short while. This layer doesn't work for campaigns with custom terrains, these campaigns have to be changed to use the new system.

The following rules are stated for the new terrain letters, note most of these rules are not validated since it would slow down Wesnoth; not following these rules might break Wesnoth.
* terrain strings are between 2 and 4 characters
* terrain strings start with a capital letter and the following letters are lower case
* terrain strings can only contain letters and the symbols /|\ which are meant for directional items like bridges.
* the underscore is used for internal terrains
* the star '*' can be used for wildcards in some parts

Starting positions are defined by a number followed by 1 space and then the terrain string; this means that a starting position is no longer automatically a keep.

The letters Y,y,Z,z are reserved for UMC so any string containing any of these letters is a custom terrain. Other undefined terrain strings are reserved for future expansion within Wesnoth.

=== Conversion form old to new ===
There's a conversion perl script for map named map_convert.pl. This script will convert a map with the old letters to the new strings. Some parts still have to be done manually, here a lookup table with the letters.

char= a b c d e f g h i j k l m

==== Keep ====
The keep definition is now done with terrain transition WML,
since we're no longer out of letters, this will be done
manually. the _K is for backwards compability but this
will be removed in the near future. The _K uses the special
castle transition WML the new ones don't. This would
also allow to mix items, eg a Kh keep in a Ce castle.

== Adding terrains ==
When adding terrains make sure the following files are also checked:

data/faction/* contains favorite positions for the different factions, this is only used for the random map generator at the moment so it is not very important.

data/abilities.cfg contains the definition of ''submerge'' and ''ambush'' so depending on the change these need to be updated.

data/utils/utils.cfg containt the macro STARTING_VILLAGES which contains a list of village strings. This list doesn't support wildcards (yet).

==Reserved letters and non-letter Characters==
Reserved letters are for custom terrains in user-made campaigns. In addition to these it is currently also possible to use other characters not on the above list to represent custom terrain, such as ½ § @ % etc., but new "official" terrain may be assigned for these characters in the future. So when creating custom terrain, the letters marked as reserved on the above list should be used first.
Use campaign definitions (see [[CampaignWML]]) to prevent your custom terrains from interfering with other campaigns.

== Terrain strings '''''[[User:SkeletonCrew#Branch_terrain|(SVN terrain only)]]''''' ==
The terrains will be changed from a single letter to a multi letter system. There will be a compability layer for a short while. This layer doesn't work for campaigns with custom terrains, these campaigns have to be changed to use the new system.

The following rules are stated for the new terrain letters, note most of these rules are not validated since it would slow down Wesnoth; not following these rules might break Wesnoth.
* terrain strings are between 2 and 4 characters
* terrain strings start with a capital letter and the following letters are lower case
* terrain strings can only contain letters and the symbols /|\ which are meant for directional items like bridges.
* the underscore is used for internal terrains
* the star '*' can be used for wildcards in some parts

Starting positions are defined by a number followed by 1 space and then the terrain string; this means that a starting position is no longer automatically a keep.

The letters Y,y,Z,z are reserved for UMC so any string containing any of these letters is a custom terrain. Other undefined terrain strings are reserved for future expansion within Wesnoth.

=== Conversion form old to new ===
There's a conversion perl script for map named map_convert.pl. This script will convert a map with the old letters to the new strings. Some parts still have to be done manually, here a lookup table with the letters.

char= a b c d e f g h i j k l m
str= Vhh Vhm Ww Ds Vea Ff Gg Hh Ai Wwf Ql Mm

char= n o p q r s t u v w x y z

str= Chr Do Chw Rr Aa Ft Vdt Vha Xu Qxu Vs Vwm

char= / | \ & _ ~ ? ] [ '
str= Bww/ Bww| Bww\ Xu _s _f Fet Uf Uh Uui

=== terrains sorted per group ===
This list shows the string for the terrains, the italic strings are reservations for terrains.
The old letter is extra shown for as an extra reference.

==Reserved letters and non-letter Characters==
Reserved letters are for custom terrains in user-made campaigns. In addition to these it is currently also possible to use other characters not on the above list to represent custom terrain, such as ½ § @ % etc., but new "official" terrain may be assigned for these characters in the future. So when creating custom terrain, the letters marked as reserved on the above list should be used first.
Use campaign definitions (see [[CampaignWML]]) to prevent your custom terrains from interfering with other campaigns.

== Terrain strings '''''[[User:SkeletonCrew#Branch_terrain|(SVN terrain only)]]''''' ==
The terrains will be changed from a single letter to a multi letter system. There will be a compability layer for a short while. This layer doesn't work for campaigns with custom terrains, these campaigns have to be changed to use the new system.

The following rules are stated for the new terrain letters, note most of these rules are not validated since it would slow down Wesnoth; not following these rules might break Wesnoth.
* terrain strings are between 2 and 4 characters
* terrain strings start with a capital letter and the following letters are lower case
* terrain strings can only contain letters and the symbols /|\ which are meant for directional items like bridges.
* the underscore is used for internal terrains
* the star '*' can be used for wildcards in some parts

Starting positions are defined by a number followed by 1 space and then the terrain string; this means that a starting position is no longer automatically a keep.

The letters Y,y,Z,z are reserved for UMC so any string containing any of these letters is a custom terrain. Other undefined terrain strings are reserved for future expansion within Wesnoth.

=== Conversion form old to new ===
There's a conversion perl script for map named map_convert.pl. This script will convert a map with the old letters to the new strings. Some parts still have to be done manually, here a lookup table with the letters.

will be removed in the near future. The _K uses the special
castle transition WML the new ones don't. This would
also allow to mix items, eg a Kh keep in a Ce castle.

==== Specials ====
These terrains are hardcoded in the game and translated
automatically. The old UMC terrains are here for backwards
compability this compability will only be guaranteed till
the next major release after 1.2.(That would be 1.4 or 2.0.)
As stated before the * will no longer be supported.

== Adding terrains ==
When adding terrains make sure the following files are also checked:

data/faction/* contains favorite positions for the different factions, this is only used for the random map generator at the moment so it is not very important.

data/abilities.cfg contains the definition of ''submerge'' and ''ambush'' so depending on the change these need to be updated.

data/utils/utils.cfg containt the macro STARTING_VILLAGES which contains a list of village strings. This list doesn't support wildcards (yet).

These terrains are hardcoded in the game and translated
automatically. The old UMC terrains are here for backwards
compability this compability will only be guaranteed till
the next major release after 1.2.(That would be 1.4 or 2.0.)
As stated before the * will no longer be supported.

== Adding terrains ==
When adding terrains make sure the following files are also checked:

data/faction/* contains favorite positions for the different factions, this is only used for the random map generator at the moment so it is not very important.

data/abilities.cfg contains the definition of ''submerge'' and ''ambush'' so depending on the change these need to be updated.

data/utils/utils.cfg containt the macro STARTING_VILLAGES which contains a list of village strings. This list doesn't support wildcards (yet).

Eleazar: /* Browse the code */ updated current development

{{Compiling Wesnoth}}
== SVN ==

Wesnoth development currently uses the Subversion
software tool to keep developers in sync with each other. See the
[http://svnbook.org SVN book] for
more on how to use Subversion.

== Browse the code ==

There are currently two main streams of development: trunk (1.3.x) and branch (1.2.x). There is also a branch for a Python interface to the AI. You can use your web browser to navigate through the source code:

http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth/

== Download ==

To check out trunk (About 266 MB at october 2006) into a directory ''wesnoth'':
svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/wesnoth/trunk wesnoth

or to check out the 1.2 branch (About 263 MB at december 2006) into a directory ''wesnoth-1.2'':
svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/wesnoth/branches/1.2 wesnoth-1.2

More info on the repository: https://gna.org/svn/?group=wesnoth

== Update ==

Do this from inside the ''wesnoth'' or ''wesnoth-1.2'' directory where you checked out the repository:
svn update

Note that when you update from Subversion, you should always run 'autogen.sh' if ''configure.ac'' or any of the ''Makefile.am'' files were changed. It is safest to 'make clean' before updating, then update and finally run 'autogen.sh', 'configure' and 'make'.

You may be able to skip the 'autogen.sh' and the 'make clean' if the makefiles and ''configure.ac'' have not changed. If only minor changes were made then even the 'configure' step is optional.

Eleazar: /* terrains sorted per group */ fixed some letters

= WIP =
== Terrain system ==
The goal is to convert the old single letter terrain system
to a new multi letter system. The internal changes to the
engine are almost done.

These are the proposals and explanations for the new system,
once these are final and implanted these texts will move
into the wiki.

Version: proposal 2.0<br>
Last updated: --[[User:SkeletonCrew|SkeletonCrew]] 11:43, 5 November 2006 (CET)

History:<br>
proposal 1.1<br>
* added the encounter terrains
proposal 1.2<br>
* added the link to the new proposals of Mog and Eleazar
proposal 1.3<br>
* added reminder to add fog/shroud to the editor
* added idea to maybe add support to add tiles at the top and left
proposal 2.0<br>
* removed editor changes from proposal and moved to own topic
* removed the discussion points and wrote the conclusion
* rewrote [[User:SkeletonCrew#terrain_strings]]
* rewrote the letter proposal, with the input given so far

=== terrain ===
Every terrain type gets a new field named ''string'' this
will be the new string to use to refer to the terrain.
The old char field will stay for the existing terrains,
this is needed to convert older maps to be used with the
new engine.

This string will exist of 2 to 4 characters, the allowed
characters are all letters (the engine is case sensitive),
all numbers and the symbols / | \. Note leading numbers
are not allowed in the string, they might give confusion
with starting locations. Other characters are reserved for
special uses in the engine.

The limit of 4 characters is not the upper limit of the
engine, but the upper level for easy parsing. The internal
format uses 4 bytes and every character is 1 byte. This way
it's very easy to convert the characters to the internal
format. If more letters are required it will require some
modifications to the engine.

I'm considering to allow 1 character terrains as well
since I've some trouble to find a second letter everywhere.

Every terrain will also get a new field named ''theme''
this is explained in the editor section.

=== scenario map ===
The map will use the new strings instead of the old letters.
For every tile a string will be used instead of one letter,
these strings are separated with a comma. Between the string
and the comma one or more spaces are allowed.

Instead of spaces tabs are allowed, but keep in mind what
looks good in your text editor, might look horrible in the
editor of somebody else. The official files should use spaces.

The WML for map will use the same format.
The letter for map WML will use a single terrain string without
comma's.

=== Terraingraphics ===
The need two modifications the map format and the type
format.

==== map ====
This format will change a bit more than the other items.
The old format is described here [[TerrainGraphicsWML]].
According to mog the letters in the map are never used,
only the anchors are used. The new format will only accept
anchors. The special characters . and * will stay the same.

This map file will no longer be space separated but comma
separatedand. Odd lines will start with a leading comma
instead of 2 spaces. Spaces are allowed for padding

Also here tabs are allowed instead of spaces, see previous
section.

For example this
map="
1
1 1
2
1 1
1"

will become
map="
,1
1,1
,2
1,1
,1"
or
map="
, 1
1 , 1
, 2
1 , 1
, 1"

==== type ====
The type will be a list of terrains, comma separated.
Spaces are allowed but then the items need to be between
brackets. (A WML rule.) Also after special modifiers
a comma is required (at the moment only the ! is a special
modifier, but that might change in the future.)

Mog had an idea which will also be implanted, the * can be
used in a terrain string, V* would match all terrain
strings starting with the letter 'V'. Vh* would match
all terrain strings starting with 'Vh' eg Vh, Vha, Vhaa
but not VH or vH.

=== terrain files ===
Eleazar would like to move the terrains in subfolders,
this seems to be possible with the current system.
The required modifications can be found in the following
changelog
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth?rev=14069&view=rev

I've no idea what the best possible directory layout
will be. I'll ask Eleazar to do this change when I'm
ready for it. At the moment I've some patches in my
queue which will conflict with these changes.

=== terrain strings ===
The terrain strings will consist of 2 till 4 letters which
indicate the terrain. Numbers are not allowed except for
starting positions. These are allowed to be between 1
and 4 characters. (Note Wesnoth only supports 9 starting
positions.) The following special characters can be used
/|\ these should be used for directional terrains, which
are only bridges at the moment.

The terrain letter _ is reserved for interal special terrains
this will alway be used as leading character and not used
inside strings.

For readability terrains should start with a capital letter
followed by one or more lowercase letters (with a maximum of 3
lower case letters). The official
terrains must follow these rules, the custom terrains
should follow these rules.

There will be some letters reserved for user made content
these letters are Y, y, Z, z. This means every terrain
with one or more of these letters inside are custom terrains.
This way it's easier to integrate a new terrain without
having to change the terrain-graphics.cfg.

Since UTBS is mainline the custom terrain used there will
be moved to the new system.

=== aliases ===
The aliases will also be a comma separated list, where the
same discussion about the + and - can be started as in
the types.

=== terrains sorted per group ===
This list shows the new proposal for the terrains,
which takes in account the idea's of Mog and Eleazar.
The italic strings are reservations for terrains.
The only terrain which isn't backwards compatible is
'*'. The other terrains will be converted.

Some letter defined in the old system don't have a
terrain defined yet. These are still listed with their
reserved letter. Just in case the terrain gets defined
before this system is up and running.

I think about merging some theme's if the number of items
is to small. The following merges will probably be done
* hill, mountain
* water, swamp
* castle, keep

I still want to keep the themes, if for example the number
mountain and hill terrains increases enough to justify their
own page the splitting will be trivial.

The letters "$.;:<>_` are listed but unassigned in the old
list and thus not supported in the new system.

==== Specials ====
These terrains are hardcoded in the game and translated

compability this compability will only be guaranteed till
the next major release after 1.2.(That would be 1.4 or 2.0.)
As stated before the * will no longer be supported.

=== encounter terrains ===
This list maintains the encountered terrains by the user
this list is used in the help function to decide what
to show and what not. This is now a comma seperated list.
The new version will also be a comma separated list but
with the new terrain strings instead of letters. In order
to keep it backwards compatible at startup the system
will check for
''encountered_terrains'' and ''encountered_terrains13''
. Then test the following conditions is this order:
* if ''encountered_terrains13'' is found these are loaded.
* if ''encountered_terrains'' is found, these are converted to ''encountered_terrains13'' format and loaded
* none are found, nothing will be done.

When writing only ''encountered_terrains13'' will be used.

The reason to keep it backwards compatible is that if
somebody tries an 1.3.x version and doesn't like it,
it's no problem to return to 1.2.x. If we convert
''encountered_terrains'' to the new format it might
give troubles when loading it with 1.2.x.

== editor ==
The editor also will need an overhaul due to the changes,
since the terrain consists of a maximum of 4 characters
I propose it writes the terrain as a string of 6 characters;
the terrains string followed by a comma and padded with spaces.
eg the following terrain string
Vh,Vha,Vhaa,Vha,Vh
will be written as
123456123456123456123456123456 (numbers won't be written.)
Vh, Vha, Vhaa, Vha, Vh

'''Discussion:''' Should the editor be able to write the
old format terrain or not.

=== custom terrains ===
Zookeeper told me there's no option to add custom terrains
at the moment. I want to add a button to add a custom
terrain, once clicked it will prompt for the terrain string
and insert the tile to the list of available tiles and
allow to use this tile. The tile will be 'painted' with
the terrain string. When loading a map with unknown strings
these will be added to the list of terrains.
The only problem will be the location of the terrains
but I'll worry about that later.

There should also be an option to add fog/shroud tiles
to the map. See http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=192326#192326

'''Discussion:''' Would this solve the unkown tile problem?

=== themes ===
In my opinion the list with terrains to browse is pretty
long and this will only grow in the future. I want to add
an extra grid of buttons with theme's the buttons will have
an icon for their theme. When a button is clicked the list
of terrains is filtered per theme. eg when the theme villages
is selected only village tiles are shown.
Every terrain gets one or more themes for example a snow
forest can be in the theme forest and the theme snow, so
with either theme this tile is shown.
There will be 2 special theme's favorites and map.
Favorites are your favorite tiles saved in preferences
and can contain unknown terrains.
Map are all tiles already used on this map, including the
unknown.

'''Discussion:''' Is this handy?

=== resize map ===
maybe there should be an option to add tiles to the left and
top instead of only to the right and bottom.
See http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=192326#192326

=== Small maps ===
It would be handy to be able to create maps smaller than
20 x 20 for WML usage. IMO as soon as the map goes below
this threshold a warning should be shown, that the map
might nog work properly as main scenario map.

Thing I plan to do after I finished my WIP's.

== team sides ==
After the terrain system has been modified it's possible
to define more teams, EdB asked this in irc at 20061027.

It would be nice to support 12 sides in multiplayer with
their own tcolour. The engine should support more sides
for the AI to use. These will use and scenario WML defined
colour. It's not sure whether WML supports this if not the
support should be made. EdB will look for an possible
algo to define nice auto colours.

== terrain archtypes ==
Eleazar had an idea for terrain archtypes in the terrain
thread. It looks sane and would be nice to implant.

== Terrain system ==
The goal is to convert the old single letter terrain system
to a new multi letter system. The internal changes to the
engine are almost done.

These are the proposals and explanations for the new system,
once these are final and implanted these texts will move
into the wiki.

Version: proposal 2.0<br>
Last updated: --[[User:SkeletonCrew|SkeletonCrew]] 11:43, 5 November 2006 (CET)

History:<br>
proposal 1.1<br>
* added the encounter terrains
proposal 1.2<br>
* added the link to the new proposals of Mog and Eleazar
proposal 1.3<br>
* added reminder to add fog/shroud to the editor
* added idea to maybe add support to add tiles at the top and left
proposal 2.0<br>
* removed editor changes from proposal and moved to own topic
* removed the discussion points and wrote the conclusion
* rewrote [[User:SkeletonCrew#terrain_strings]]
* rewrote the letter proposal, with the input given so far

=== terrain ===
Every terrain type gets a new field named ''string'' this
will be the new string to use to refer to the terrain.
The old char field will stay for the existing terrains,
this is needed to convert older maps to be used with the
new engine.

This string will exist of 2 to 4 characters, the allowed
characters are all letters (the engine is case sensitive),
all numbers and the symbols / | \. Note leading numbers
are not allowed in the string, they might give confusion
with starting locations. Other characters are reserved for
special uses in the engine.

The limit of 4 characters is not the upper limit of the
engine, but the upper level for easy parsing. The internal
format uses 4 bytes and every character is 1 byte. This way
it's very easy to convert the characters to the internal
format. If more letters are required it will require some
modifications to the engine.

I'm considering to allow 1 character terrains as well
since I've some trouble to find a second letter everywhere.

Every terrain will also get a new field named ''theme''
this is explained in the editor section.

=== scenario map ===
The map will use the new strings instead of the old letters.
For every tile a string will be used instead of one letter,
these strings are separated with a comma. Between the string
and the comma one or more spaces are allowed.

Instead of spaces tabs are allowed, but keep in mind what
looks good in your text editor, might look horrible in the
editor of somebody else. The official files should use spaces.

The WML for map will use the same format.
The letter for map WML will use a single terrain string without
comma's.

=== Terraingraphics ===
The need two modifications the map format and the type
format.

==== map ====
This format will change a bit more than the other items.
The old format is described here [[TerrainGraphicsWML]].
According to mog the letters in the map are never used,
only the anchors are used. The new format will only accept
anchors. The special characters . and * will stay the same.

This map file will no longer be space separated but comma
separatedand. Odd lines will start with a leading comma
instead of 2 spaces. Spaces are allowed for padding

Also here tabs are allowed instead of spaces, see previous
section.

For example this
map="
1
1 1
2
1 1
1"

will become
map="
,1
1,1
,2
1,1
,1"
or
map="
, 1
1 , 1
, 2
1 , 1
, 1"

==== type ====
The type will be a list of terrains, comma separated.
Spaces are allowed but then the items need to be between
brackets. (A WML rule.) Also after special modifiers
a comma is required (at the moment only the ! is a special
modifier, but that might change in the future.)

Mog had an idea which will also be implanted, the * can be
used in a terrain string, V* would match all terrain
strings starting with the letter 'V'. Vh* would match
all terrain strings starting with 'Vh' eg Vh, Vha, Vhaa
but not VH or vH.

=== terrain files ===
Eleazar would like to move the terrains in subfolders,
this seems to be possible with the current system.
The required modifications can be found in the following
changelog
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth?rev=14069&view=rev

I've no idea what the best possible directory layout
will be. I'll ask Eleazar to do this change when I'm
ready for it. At the moment I've some patches in my
queue which will conflict with these changes.

=== terrain strings ===
The terrain strings will consist of 2 till 4 letters which
indicate the terrain. Numbers are not allowed except for
starting positions. These are allowed to be between 1
and 4 characters. (Note Wesnoth only supports 9 starting
positions.) The following special characters can be used
/|\ these should be used for directional terrains, which
are only bridges at the moment.

The terrain letter _ is reserved for interal special terrains
this will alway be used as leading character and not used
inside strings.

For readability terrains should start with a capital letter
followed by one or more lowercase letters (with a maximum of 3
lower case letters). The official
terrains must follow these rules, the custom terrains
should follow these rules.

There will be some letters reserved for user made content
these letters are Y, y, Z, z. This means every terrain
with one or more of these letters inside are custom terrains.
This way it's easier to integrate a new terrain without
having to change the terrain-graphics.cfg.

Since UTBS is mainline the custom terrain used there will
be moved to the new system.

=== aliases ===
The aliases will also be a comma separated list, where the
same discussion about the + and - can be started as in
the types.

=== terrains sorted per group ===
This list shows the new proposal for the terrains,
which takes in account the idea's of Mog and Eleazar.
The italic strings are reservations for terrains.
The only terrain which isn't backwards compatible is
'*'. The other terrains will be converted.

Some letter defined in the old system don't have a
terrain defined yet. These are still listed with their
reserved letter. Just in case the terrain gets defined
before this system is up and running.

I think about merging some theme's if the number of items
is to small. The following merges will probably be done
* hill, mountain
* water, swamp
* castle, keep

I still want to keep the themes, if for example the number
mountain and hill terrains increases enough to justify their
own page the splitting will be trivial.

The letters "$.;:<>_` are listed but unassigned in the old
list and thus not supported in the new system.

=== encounter terrains ===
This list maintains the encountered terrains by the user
this list is used in the help function to decide what
to show and what not. This is now a comma seperated list.
The new version will also be a comma separated list but
with the new terrain strings instead of letters. In order
to keep it backwards compatible at startup the system
will check for
''encountered_terrains'' and ''encountered_terrains13''
. Then test the following conditions is this order:
* if ''encountered_terrains13'' is found these are loaded.
* if ''encountered_terrains'' is found, these are converted to ''encountered_terrains13'' format and loaded
* none are found, nothing will be done.

When writing only ''encountered_terrains13'' will be used.

The reason to keep it backwards compatible is that if
somebody tries an 1.3.x version and doesn't like it,
it's no problem to return to 1.2.x. If we convert
''encountered_terrains'' to the new format it might
give troubles when loading it with 1.2.x.

== editor ==
The editor also will need an overhaul due to the changes,
since the terrain consists of a maximum of 4 characters
I propose it writes the terrain as a string of 6 characters;
the terrains string followed by a comma and padded with spaces.
eg the following terrain string
Vh,Vha,Vhaa,Vha,Vh
will be written as
123456123456123456123456123456 (numbers won't be written.)
Vh, Vha, Vhaa, Vha, Vh

'''Discussion:''' Should the editor be able to write the
old format terrain or not.

=== custom terrains ===
Zookeeper told me there's no option to add custom terrains
at the moment. I want to add a button to add a custom
terrain, once clicked it will prompt for the terrain string
and insert the tile to the list of available tiles and
allow to use this tile. The tile will be 'painted' with
the terrain string. When loading a map with unknown strings
these will be added to the list of terrains.
The only problem will be the location of the terrains
but I'll worry about that later.

There should also be an option to add fog/shroud tiles
to the map. See http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=192326#192326

'''Discussion:''' Would this solve the unkown tile problem?

=== themes ===
In my opinion the list with terrains to browse is pretty
long and this will only grow in the future. I want to add
an extra grid of buttons with theme's the buttons will have
an icon for their theme. When a button is clicked the list
of terrains is filtered per theme. eg when the theme villages
is selected only village tiles are shown.
Every terrain gets one or more themes for example a snow
forest can be in the theme forest and the theme snow, so
with either theme this tile is shown.
There will be 2 special theme's favorites and map.
Favorites are your favorite tiles saved in preferences
and can contain unknown terrains.
Map are all tiles already used on this map, including the
unknown.

20 x 20 for WML usage. IMO as soon as the map goes below
this threshold a warning should be shown, that the map
might nog work properly as main scenario map.

The type will be a list of terrains, comma separated.
Spaces are allowed but then the items need to be between
brackets. (A WML rule.) Also after special modifiers
a comma is required (at the moment only the ! is a special
modifier, but that might change in the future.)

Mog had an idea which will also be implanted, the * can be
used in a terrain string, V* would match all terrain
strings starting with the letter 'V'. Vh* would match
all terrain strings starting with 'Vh' eg Vh, Vha, Vhaa
but not VH or vH.

=== terrain files ===
Eleazar would like to move the terrains in subfolders,
this seems to be possible with the current system.
The required modifications can be found in the following
changelog
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth?rev=14069&view=rev

I've no idea what the best possible directory layout
will be. I'll ask Eleazar to do this change when I'm
ready for it. At the moment I've some patches in my
queue which will conflict with these changes.

=== terrain strings ===
The terrain strings will consist of 2 till 4 letters which
indicate the terrain. Numbers are not allowed except for
starting positions. These are allowed to be between 1
and 4 characters. (Note Wesnoth only supports 9 starting
positions.) The following special characters can be used
/|\ these should be used for directional terrains, which
are only bridges at the moment.

The terrain letter _ is reserved for interal special terrains
this will alway be used as leading character and not used
inside strings.

For readability terrains should start with a capital letter
followed by one or more lowercase letters (with a maximum of 3
lower case letters). The official
terrains must follow these rules, the custom terrains
should follow these rules.

There will be some letters reserved for user made content
these letters are Y, y, Z, z. This means every terrain
with one or more of these letters inside are custom terrains.
This way it's easier to integrate a new terrain without
having to change the terrain-graphics.cfg.

Since UTBS is mainline the custom terrain used there will
be moved to the new system.

=== aliases ===
The aliases will also be a comma separated list, where the
same discussion about the + and - can be started as in
the types.

=== terrains sorted per group ===
This list shows the new proposal for the terrains,
which takes in account the idea's of Mog and Eleazar.
The italic strings are reservations for terrains.
The only terrain which isn't backwards compatible is
'*'. The other terrains will be converted.

Some letter defined in the old system don't have a
terrain defined yet. These are still listed with their
reserved letter. Just in case the terrain gets defined
before this system is up and running.

I think about merging some theme's if the number of items
is to small. The following merges will probably be done
* hill, mountain
* water, swamp
* castle, keep

I still want to keep the themes, if for example the number
mountain and hill terrains increases enough to justify their
own page the splitting will be trivial.

The letters "$.;:<>_` are listed but unassigned in the old
list and thus not supported in the new system.

=== encounter terrains ===
This list maintains the encountered terrains by the user
this list is used in the help function to decide what
to show and what not. This is now a comma seperated list.
The new version will also be a comma separated list but
with the new terrain strings instead of letters. In order
to keep it backwards compatible at startup the system
will check for
''encountered_terrains'' and ''encountered_terrains13''
. Then test the following conditions is this order:
* if ''encountered_terrains13'' is found these are loaded.
* if ''encountered_terrains'' is found, these are converted to ''encountered_terrains13'' format and loaded
* none are found, nothing will be done.

When writing only ''encountered_terrains13'' will be used.

The reason to keep it backwards compatible is that if
somebody tries an 1.3.x version and doesn't like it,
it's no problem to return to 1.2.x. If we convert
''encountered_terrains'' to the new format it might
give troubles when loading it with 1.2.x.

== editor ==
The editor also will need an overhaul due to the changes,
since the terrain consists of a maximum of 4 characters
I propose it writes the terrain as a string of 6 characters;
the terrains string followed by a comma and padded with spaces.
eg the following terrain string
Vh,Vha,Vhaa,Vha,Vh
will be written as
123456123456123456123456123456 (numbers won't be written.)
Vh, Vha, Vhaa, Vha, Vh

'''Discussion:''' Should the editor be able to write the
old format terrain or not.

=== custom terrains ===
Zookeeper told me there's no option to add custom terrains
at the moment. I want to add a button to add a custom
terrain, once clicked it will prompt for the terrain string
and insert the tile to the list of available tiles and
allow to use this tile. The tile will be 'painted' with
the terrain string. When loading a map with unknown strings
these will be added to the list of terrains.
The only problem will be the location of the terrains
but I'll worry about that later.

There should also be an option to add fog/shroud tiles
to the map. See http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=192326#192326

'''Discussion:''' Would this solve the unkown tile problem?

=== themes ===
In my opinion the list with terrains to browse is pretty
long and this will only grow in the future. I want to add
an extra grid of buttons with theme's the buttons will have
an icon for their theme. When a button is clicked the list
of terrains is filtered per theme. eg when the theme villages
is selected only village tiles are shown.
Every terrain gets one or more themes for example a snow
forest can be in the theme forest and the theme snow, so
with either theme this tile is shown.
There will be 2 special theme's favorites and map.
Favorites are your favorite tiles saved in preferences
and can contain unknown terrains.
Map are all tiles already used on this map, including the
unknown.

'''Discussion:''' Is this handy?

=== resize map ===
maybe there should be an option to add tiles to the left and
top instead of only to the right and bottom.
See http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=192326#192326

=== Small maps ===
It would be handy to be able to create maps smaller than
20 x 20 for WML usage. IMO as soon as the map goes below
this threshold a warning should be shown, that the map
might nog work properly as main scenario map.
See http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=192435#192435

= Todo =
Thing I plan to do after I finished my WIP's.

== team sides ==
After the terrain system has been modified it's possible
to define more teams, EdB asked this in irc at 20061027.

It would be nice to support 12 sides in multiplayer with
their own tcolour. The engine should support more sides
for the AI to use. These will use and scenario WML defined
colour. It's not sure whether WML supports this if not the
support should be made. EdB will look for an possible
algo to define nice auto colours.

== terrain archtypes ==
Eleazar had an idea for terrain archtypes in the terrain
thread. It looks sane and would be nice to implant.
http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=191410#191410

= Misc =
Various things I want to look at at some time.
* version checks for WML, needed or not?
* modulo WML, needed or not?
* continue to work on the Python AI

Eleazar: /* Snow terrains */

= WIP =
== Terrain system ==
The goal is to convert the old single letter terrain system
to a new multi letter system. The internal changes to the
engine are almost done.

These are the proposals and explanations for the new system,
once these are final and implanted these texts will move
into the wiki.

Version: proposal 2.0<br>
Last updated: --[[User:SkeletonCrew|SkeletonCrew]] 11:43, 5 November 2006 (CET)

History:<br>
proposal 1.1<br>
* added the encounter terrains
proposal 1.2<br>
* added the link to the new proposals of Mog and Eleazar
proposal 1.3<br>
* added reminder to add fog/shroud to the editor
* added idea to maybe add support to add tiles at the top and left
proposal 2.0<br>
* removed editor changes from proposal and moved to own topic
* removed the discussion points and wrote the conclusion
* rewrote [[User:SkeletonCrew#terrain_strings]]
* rewrote the letter proposal, with the input given so far

=== terrain ===
Every terrain type gets a new field named ''string'' this
will be the new string to use to refer to the terrain.
The old char field will stay for the existing terrains,
this is needed to convert older maps to be used with the
new engine.

This string will exist of 2 to 4 characters, the allowed
characters are all letters (the engine is case sensitive),
all numbers and the symbols / | \. Note leading numbers
are not allowed in the string, they might give confusion
with starting locations. Other characters are reserved for
special uses in the engine.

The limit of 4 characters is not the upper limit of the
engine, but the upper level for easy parsing. The internal
format uses 4 bytes and every character is 1 byte. This way
it's very easy to convert the characters to the internal
format. If more letters are required it will require some
modifications to the engine.

I'm considering to allow 1 character terrains as well
since I've some trouble to find a second letter everywhere.

Every terrain will also get a new field named ''theme''
this is explained in the editor section.

=== scenario map ===
The map will use the new strings instead of the old letters.
For every tile a string will be used instead of one letter,
these strings are separated with a comma. Between the string
and the comma one or more spaces are allowed.

Instead of spaces tabs are allowed, but keep in mind what
looks good in your text editor, might look horrible in the
editor of somebody else. The official files should use spaces.

The WML for map will use the same format.
The letter for map WML will use a single terrain string without
comma's.

=== Terraingraphics ===
The need two modifications the map format and the type
format.

==== map ====
This format will change a bit more than the other items.
The old format is described here [[TerrainGraphicsWML]].
According to mog the letters in the map are never used,
only the anchors are used. The new format will only accept
anchors. The special characters . and * will stay the same.

This map file will no longer be space separated but comma
separatedand. Odd lines will start with a leading comma
instead of 2 spaces. Spaces are allowed for padding

Also here tabs are allowed instead of spaces, see previous
section.

For example this
map="
1
1 1
2
1 1
1"

will become
map="
,1
1,1
,2
1,1
,1"
or
map="
, 1
1 , 1
, 2
1 , 1
, 1"

==== type ====
The type will be a list of terrains, comma separated.
Spaces are allowed but then the items need to be between
brackets. (A WML rule.) Also after special modifiers
a comma is required (at the moment only the ! is a special
modifier, but that might change in the future.)

Mog had an idea which will also be implanted, the * can be
used in a terrain string, V* would match all terrain
strings starting with the letter 'V'. Vh* would match
all terrain strings starting with 'Vh' eg Vh, Vha, Vhaa
but not VH or vH.

=== terrain files ===
Eleazar would like to move the terrains in subfolders,
this seems to be possible with the current system.
The required modifications can be found in the following
changelog
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth?rev=14069&view=rev

I've no idea what the best possible directory layout
will be. I'll ask Eleazar to do this change when I'm
ready for it. At the moment I've some patches in my
queue which will conflict with these changes.

=== terrain strings ===
The terrain strings will consist of 2 till 4 letters which
indicate the terrain. Numbers are not allowed except for
starting positions. These are allowed to be between 1
and 4 characters. (Note Wesnoth only supports 9 starting
positions.) The following special characters can be used
/|\ these should be used for directional terrains, which
are only bridges at the moment.

The terrain letter _ is reserved for interal special terrains
this will alway be used as leading character and not used

Since UTBS is mainline the custom terrain used there will
be moved to the new system.

=== aliases ===
The aliases will also be a comma separated list, where the

==== Specials ====
These terrains are hardcoded in the game and translated
automatically. The old UMC terrains are here for backwards
compability this compability will only be guaranteed till
the next major release after 1.2.(That would be 1.4 or 2.0.)
As stated before the * will no longer be supported.

=== encounter terrains ===
This list maintains the encountered terrains by the user
this list is used in the help function to decide what
to show and what not. This is now a comma seperated list.
The new version will also be a comma separated list but
with the new terrain strings instead of letters. In order
to keep it backwards compatible at startup the system
will check for
''encountered_terrains'' and ''encountered_terrains13''
. Then test the following conditions is this order:
* if ''encountered_terrains13'' is found these are loaded.
* if ''encountered_terrains'' is found, these are converted to ''encountered_terrains13'' format and loaded
* none are found, nothing will be done.

When writing only ''encountered_terrains13'' will be used.

The reason to keep it backwards compatible is that if
somebody tries an 1.3.x version and doesn't like it,
it's no problem to return to 1.2.x. If we convert
''encountered_terrains'' to the new format it might
give troubles when loading it with 1.2.x.

== editor ==
The editor also will need an overhaul due to the changes,
since the terrain consists of a maximum of 4 characters
I propose it writes the terrain as a string of 6 characters;
the terrains string followed by a comma and padded with spaces.
eg the following terrain string
Vh,Vha,Vhaa,Vha,Vh
will be written as
123456123456123456123456123456 (numbers won't be written.)
Vh, Vha, Vhaa, Vha, Vh

'''Discussion:''' Should the editor be able to write the
old format terrain or not.

=== custom terrains ===
Zookeeper told me there's no option to add custom terrains
at the moment. I want to add a button to add a custom
terrain, once clicked it will prompt for the terrain string
and insert the tile to the list of available tiles and
allow to use this tile. The tile will be 'painted' with
the terrain string. When loading a map with unknown strings
these will be added to the list of terrains.
The only problem will be the location of the terrains
but I'll worry about that later.

There should also be an option to add fog/shroud tiles
to the map. See http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=192326#192326

'''Discussion:''' Would this solve the unkown tile problem?

=== themes ===
In my opinion the list with terrains to browse is pretty
long and this will only grow in the future. I want to add
an extra grid of buttons with theme's the buttons will have
an icon for their theme. When a button is clicked the list
of terrains is filtered per theme. eg when the theme villages
is selected only village tiles are shown.
Every terrain gets one or more themes for example a snow
forest can be in the theme forest and the theme snow, so
with either theme this tile is shown.
There will be 2 special theme's favorites and map.
Favorites are your favorite tiles saved in preferences
and can contain unknown terrains.
Map are all tiles already used on this map, including the
unknown.

'''Discussion:''' Is this handy?

=== resize map ===
maybe there should be an option to add tiles to the left and
top instead of only to the right and bottom.
See http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=192326#192326

=== Small maps ===
It would be handy to be able to create maps smaller than
20 x 20 for WML usage. IMO as soon as the map goes below
this threshold a warning should be shown, that the map
might nog work properly as main scenario map.
See http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=192435#192435

= Todo =
Thing I plan to do after I finished my WIP's.

== team sides ==
After the terrain system has been modified it's possible
to define more teams, EdB asked this in irc at 20061027.

It would be nice to support 12 sides in multiplayer with
their own tcolour. The engine should support more sides
for the AI to use. These will use and scenario WML defined
colour. It's not sure whether WML supports this if not the
support should be made. EdB will look for an possible
algo to define nice auto colours.

== terrain archtypes ==
Eleazar had an idea for terrain archtypes in the terrain
thread. It looks sane and would be nice to implant.
http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=191410#191410

= Misc =
Various things I want to look at at some time.
* version checks for WML, needed or not?
* modulo WML, needed or not?
* continue to work on the Python AI

Eleazar: /* Trolls */

{| style="float:right; margin-left:1em;"
|__TOC__
|}
This is an attempt by Eleazar to flesh out the history, beliefs and culture of the various races of Wesnoth as an aid to storytelling.
== Orcs & Goblins ==
"Orc" refers ''specifically'' to the great battle Orcs, the paragons of Orc-kind, and ''in general'' to the race as a whole--including Goblins and Drudges.

The Orcs are brutal, quick-tempered, and belligerent,-- eager to fight the other races of Wesnoth, and hardly hesitant to fight their own. They have little knowledge of their origins, nor is it something of much import to them; indeed, they look to their ancestors with scorn, or mere disregard. They are creatures of the moment, of impulse, creatures who take with hand and fist, thinking nothing of the days to come, or the days behind them, certainly so if they sleep with a full belly. It is no surprise, then, that the life of a warrior and raider is a perfect fit for them; so much so that it has become their ideal. It is what their people have been, to the utmost limit of their memory, and fills what few dreams and mythos they have of the future. Most wait for someone known as the 'War-Master' to lead them in the ultimate battle. From time to time leaders (not always Orcish) have claimed the title, 'War-Master', and brought many of the Orc clans temporarily under their power for bloody conquest.

By the record of men, orcs first came to Wesnoth across the sea, following the humans of the Green Isle, though their history before then is unknown. They settled mostly in the wild Northlands, soon allied themselves with the Trolls, and hold an ancient and jealous hatred for the race of elves, whom they feel were made to spite them.

Orcs are born in litters of roughly four to eight. They are cared for by their mothers until their third spring, when the young are cast out to fend for themselves until they learn to speak, usually by adolescence. In this time, they roam like animals or steal from farms and villages. Many die. Orcish mothers often brand their children to be able to identify them once they regain Orcish society. Of these litters, the fate of their lives is decided for them by a harsh, but perhaps pragmatic practice:
*The strongest get most of the food and become the fearsome Orc warriors- and often leaders, the highest caste of their race, and that to which all the others aspire, or envy. These are only a few of the lot, but are treated with much more pride than their kin, and cultivated much more readily.
*Many others are born with much weaker frames, often much shorter. Their only hope for a decent lot in life is to survive by cunning; these are known as Goblins. Though smaller and weaker, they are perhaps more nimble, and the combination of their desperate state and low standing makes them rather daring in the use of their lives. Notably, this disregard for the value of their own skin is what allowed them to train the great wolves that they ride, something they did only at great cost to themselves. Their strength is only in numbers, but it is a considerable one, and though they are not well-honored by their big brothers, the orcs would miss them sorely on the battle-line.
*Lowest are those who barely survive childhood. They are known as Drudges and they are considerably weaker and duller-witted than other Orcs. They are not allowed to battle or breed, only to live the life of slaves. A Drudge's status is higher only than slaves of other races, and Orcs who have been terribly dishonored.

Orcs, Goblins and Drugdes have distinct roles in their society. Since the differences are physically obvious, caste distinctions are rigourously maintained among males. The Orcs always rule the clans, but Goblins often wield great power as advisors. Caste distinctions are less rigourous among females, who may gain prestiege by bearing young that become Orc warriors. Females train for war, but less rigourously than the males, they generally only fight in defense of their villages.

Orcs have little interest in technology-- the crossbow being a notable exception. In general they prefer to rely on brute strength or slaves. Magic, which humanity can only dabble in, is virtually unknown to them. The crafting of arms and armor is their primary art-- they excel at making inelegant, but effective weapons. Money is seen only as a means to further an end, be it the hedonism which runs so strong in their race, or warmongering. Orcs who hold a looser version of their warriors' code will fight as mercenaries, while more rigourous Orcs will take only plunder and glory.

Orcs have survived, and in fact thrived thus far, based on the brutally effective mores of their society (and their prodigious birth rate). They are a race where the strong trample the weak, and a race that culls those unfit from positions of responsibility, often by blood. Given the hostilities they have incurred thus far, it is surprising that no other race has stepped in and annihilated them outright. Dwarves and Men have only waged war against them, lacking the unity or will to do more than drive them back. As yet, the elves have only held them at arms reach, perhaps not willing to risk such an effort, though it is surmised that if they ever felt truly threatened, they would fell that race in a terrifying display of power.

=Scratchpad=
--pay little attention to this part, it's very preliminary.

== Beginning of the World ==
The histories of Men all fail before their arrival at the Old Continent. However, the long-lived Elves remember much more--though they are willing to speak only part of it. The Elves say that before thinking beings walked on the Old Continent, the speaking peoples dwelt in a land called Aon. Aon was the first place, and more beautiful than any land now known. The Woses, Humans, Trolls, Elves, Merfolk, and Dragons, and beings now forgotten all lived without knowing war. For a reason of which the Elves will not speak, the peace of Aon was broken, war and destruction came, and a remnant fled over the ocean. After a time some of the refugees tried to return to Aon, but no sign of it was ever discovered. Some believe that it Aon was sunk, or burned up, or simply taken away by a great magic. Aon cannot be reclaimed.

== Life, Death, Belief ==
It is taken for granted by most beings on the Great Continent that the Body and Soul are distict, joined for a time in Life. Tales of the Undead demonstrate this, re-animated bodies evidence none of the personality of their former selves, while Ghosts of the restless undead show that the soul may outlast the body. In some cases a Soul may be forcibly joined to a re-animated body by powerful dark magic. Such states of being are regarded by most as terrible violations of the natural order, or at best as pale counterfits of natural life.

However the consequences of a natural death are less well understood. Niether Dark nor Light Magics can provide positive information on the condition of a Soul that has moved on. Each race has distinct beliefs, but it is generally held that the Soul continues indefinitely in a place beyond this world, and that the consequences of actions (whether good or ill) done in life will continue after life.

There are no Higher Power(s) who's actions can be clearly observed in the world around them, but many of the peoples of the Orb believe in some nonetheless.

== Trolls ==

Trolls are an enigma to the other races; even their allies the orcs know little about them. When the orcs invaded the Northlands from accross the sea, the Trolls occupied the same scattered territories that they do today. The orcs could not dislodge the Trolls from their hills and caves, and somehow their enmity turned to respect and then an alliance.

Trolls tell little about themselves, but are nearly as silent, stubborn, and strong as the rocks of their homelands. Trolls seem content to go for days without speaking or moving. Most accidental encounters with Troll end without the Troll having moved more than it's eyes. However an angered Troll is truely terrible. No other race can equal the raw power a Troll, barehanded they are a match for a well armed soldier. They also ignore pain and can heal on the battle-field, all but the most grevious wounds. The source of this ability, weather natural or magical, is unknown.

Trolls are clumsy, and are generally considered stupid, however it is difficult to judge the intelligence of a creature so inscrutable.

Trolls possess fewer arts than even the Orcs. Sometimes the mightiest trolls will accept armor from the orcs, but they trade little with other races nor do they keep slaves. They prefer living simply in caves near the surface. Trolls do not count years, but it is believed they live a very long time.

Standard descriptions:

====Troll Whelp====
Describing a troll as a whelp is something of an oxymoron, given that their bodies are already much hardier than that of a grown man. They are clumsy and not yet capable of walking properly, forced instead to shamble about on all fours, but any inhibition this causes them is more than made up for by the raw strength of their race.
====Troll====
Trolls have been a mote to trouble the thoughts of humanity and dwarf-kind, who remain baffled at the origins of these creatures, and perhaps more importantly, the driving force behind their unnatural vitality and strength. A fully-grown troll towers above a man, and, even unarmed, would be a great threat in combat. The large clubs typically favored in fighting act as extensions of their arms, used for the same purpose of mauling their prey into submission.
====Troll Rocklobber====
The thought of throwing a boulder in combat has certainly occurred to many trolls, and some have taken to them as a weapon of choice. Because such stones are not always easy to find, Rocklobbers have taken to carrying them in sacks slung over their shoulders. The same leather out of which the sack is formed is easily adapted to a crude sling.
====Troll Warrior====
Trolls typically neither need nor prefer to use any proper armament in combat, as large 'sticks and stones' serve them all too well. However, trolls have been seen on numerous occasions clad in rough-shod armor and bearing metal hammers. It is speculated that their typical orcish allies are the source and often crafters of these, as expeditions into several forcibly-vacated troll holes have shown little evidence of tool use, and certainly no metalworking of any kind. Given how dangerous a troll is in combat, the thought of a troll in full armor is entirely unsettling.

Eleazar: /* In Progress: */

== Eleazar ==

Also known as Jwbjerk. My involvement in Wesnoth is primarily in the terrain art, I've recently taken a strong interest in the visual aspects of the GUI, done various menial graphics tasks.

I'm working on a scenario, currently in mostly my head. It's title will abbreviated to MoaS, so i'm reserving that.

In real life i'm a Graphic Designer and Mac trouble shooter.
I joined Wesnoth in fall '04 contributed for a few months, left for a year to try and start a buisness.
Now i'm back...

And then life intervened. I haven't been active in Wesnoth at all during '06 but would like to come back someday...

==In Progress: (on hold)==
*Visual Enhancements to the GUI
** Info Panel
** Attack Dialogue
** HP & XP bars
** Distinguishing "Can't Walk To" Hexes
** Team Color stuff
*Terrain
**Chasm: transitions need to be improved.

===Planned:===
*Chasm: add water flowing over the edge support.
**adapt Chasm edges to put lava at the bottom of a pit.
*Cave:
** add a "nice/civilized" cave variant.
*Dirt: make it better-if somebody doesn't do that first.
*Some dramatic "Landmark" rocks.
*take over the world.

===Completed:===
*Crossroads sign (first contribution :) )
*First to use semi-transparent tile transtions
*Fog (transparent transitions)
*Void/Shroud (transparent transitions)
*Deep Water
*Shallow Water
*Bridges
*Beach
*Mountains 1.0 (superseded by Frame's masterpiece in Trunk)
*Chasm
*Lava (aside from some transitions)
*Cave Wall
*Cave floor
*Iluminated Cave Floor
*Great Elven Tree
*revised Merfolk Village

==Reserved letters and non-letter Characters==
Reserved letters are for custom terrains in user-made campaigns. In addition to these it is currently also possible to use other characters not on the above list to represent custom terrain, such as ½ § @ % [ ] etc., but new "official" terrain may be assigned for these characters in the future. So when creating custom terrain, the letters marked as reserved on the above list should be used first.
Use campaign definitions (see [[CampaignWML]])
to prevent your custom terrains from interfering with other campaigns.

Note:
* UtBS uses: @ ^ & *
* FtF uses: @ ^ % '
* Wesvoid uses: % *
* Seed of Evil: ^
* no other UMCs above version 0.3 uses non-letter character for custom terrains.

Eleazar: /* Scratchpad */

{| style="float:right;"
|__TOC__
|}
This is an attempt by Eleazar to flesh out the history, beliefs and culture of the various races of Wesnoth as an aid to storytelling.
== Orcs & Goblins ==
"Orc" refers ''specificly'' to the great battle Orcs, the paragons of Orc-kind, and ''in general'' to the race as a whole--including Goblins and Drudges.

The Orcs are a brutal, quick-tempered, and belligerent,-- eager to fight the other races of Wesnoth, and hardly hesitating to fight their own kind. However there is one fact that all Orcs agree on, that they were made for War. They do not agree on who made them, or from what, nor do they care much. Their ancestors are described as 'lesser' and 'unworthy', and scorned. Orcs embrace this purpose, War, whole-heartedly, their entire society is designed to prepare for war. Most Orcs wait for someone known as the 'War-Master' to lead them in the ultimate battle. From time to time leaders (not always Orcish) have claimed the title, 'War-Master', and brought many of the Orc clans temporarily under their power for bloody conquest.

Orcs came to Wesnoth across the sea, following the humans of the Green Isle. They settled mostly in the wilds of the Northlands, soon allied themselves with the Trolls, and hold an ancient hatred for the race of elves.

Orcs are born in litters of four to eight. They are cared for by their mothers until their third spring, the Orc young are cast out to fend for themselves untill they learn to speak in adolescence. They roam the surroundly wild like voracious animals or steal from farms and villages. Many die. Orcish mothers often brand their children to be able to identify them once they regain Orcish society.
*The strongest get most of the food and become fearsome Orc warriors- and often leaders, the highest caste of their race.
*Those that survive by dexterity and cunning are known as Goblins. Though smaller and weaker they possess greater agility and speed, and enough empathy to lead their fellows in battle and train the great wolves that they ride. They are allowed a less honorable, but important place in the battle-line.
*Orcs that barely survive childhood are known as Drudges. Weaker and duller-witted than other Orcs, they still posses great endurance. They are not allowed in battle or to breed, but treated as a slaves. A Drudges status is higher only than slaves of other races, and Orcs who have been terribly dishonored.

Orcs, Goblins and Drugdes have distinct roles in their society. Since the differences are physically obvious, caste distinctions are rigourously maintained among males. The Orcs always rule the clans, but Goblins often wield great power as advisors. Caste distinctions are less rigourous among females, who may gain prestiege by bearing young that become Orc warriors. Females train for war, but less rigourously than the males, they generally only fight in defence of their villages.

Orcs have little interest in technology-- the crossbow being a notable exception. In general they prefer to rely on brute strength or slaves. Magic is little developed among them. The crafting of arms and armor is their primary art-- they excel at making inelegant, but effective weapons. Money is seen primarily as a tool to prepare for war. Orcs who hold a looser version of their warrior's code will fight as mercenaries, while more rigourous Orcs will take only plunder and glory.

===Old Orc Desription:===
Orcs are a race of fierce, brown-skinned human-like creatures found across the wild places of the world. They came from across the sea, following the humans of the Green Isle. They are violent, quick-tempered, and belligerent, and hold an ancient hatred for the race of elves. Although orcs are disorganized and prone to infighting, warbands under a strong leader can cut bloody inroads into the boundaries where civilization meets wilderness. Most live in the Northland, away from the settled land of Wesnoth, whose people they are more often than not at war with. They are a greedy race, and often can be found fighting under the banner of a lich-lord or human, hoping to gain riches from those they defeat.

Goblins are a different breed than the orcs, smaller and weaker, but quicker. However, since they are the same species, they are considered by most the same race.

=Scratchpad=
--pay little attention to this part, it's very preliminary.

== Beginning of the World ==
The histories of Men all fail before their arrival at the Old Continent. However, the long-lived Elves remember much more--though they are willing to speak only part of it. The Elves say that before thinking beings walked on the Old Continent, the speaking peoples dwelt in a land called Aon. Aon was the first place, and more beautiful than any land now known. The Woses, Humans, Trolls, Elves, Merfolk, and Dragons, and beings now forgotten all lived without knowing war. For a reason of which the Elves will not speak, the peace of Aon was broken, war and destruction came, and a remnant fled over the ocean. After a time some of the refugees tried to return to Aon, but no sign of it was ever discovered. Some believe that it Aon was sunk, or burned up, or simply taken away by a great magic. Aon cannot be reclaimed.

== Life, Death, Belief ==
It is taken for granted by most beings on the Great Continent that the Body and Soul are distict, joined for a time in Life. Tales of the Undead demonstrate this, re-animated bodies evidence none of the personality of their former selves, while Ghosts of the restless undead show that the soul may outlast the body. In some cases a Soul may be forcibly joined to a re-animated body by powerful dark magic. Such states of being are regarded by most as terrible violations of the natural order, or at best as pale counterfits of natural life.

However the consequences of a natural death are less well understood. Niether Dark nor Light Magics can provide positive information on the condition of a Soul that has moved on. Each race has distinct beliefs, but it is generally held that the Soul continues indefinitely in a place beyond this world, and that the consequences of actions (weather good or ill) done in life will continue after life.

There are no Higher Power(s) who's actions can be clearly observed in the world around them.

== Trolls ==

Trolls are an enigma to the other races, even their allies the orcs know little about them. When the orcs invaded the Northlands from accross the sea, the Trolls occupied the same scattered territories that they do today. The orcs could not dislodge the Trolls from their hills and caves, and somehow their enmity turned to respect and then an alliance.

Trolls tell little about themselves, but are nearly as silent, stubborn, and strong as the rocks of their homelands. Trolls seem content to go for days without speaking or moving. Most accidental encounters with Troll end without the Troll having moved more than it's eyes. However an angered Troll is truely terrible. No other race can equal the raw power a Troll, barehanded they are a match for a well armed soldier. They also ignore ignore and can heal on the battle-field all but the most grevious wounds. The source of this ability, weather natural or magical, is unknown.

Trolls are clumsy, and are generally considered stupid, however it is difficult to judge the intelligence of a creature so inscrutable.

Trolls possess fewer arts than even the Orcs. Sometimes the mightiest trolls will accept armor from the orcs, but they trade little with other races nor do they keep slaves. They prefer living simply in caves near the surface. Trolls do not count years, but it is believed they live a very long time.

====Troll Whelp====
Describing a troll as a whelp is something of an oxymoron, given that their bodies are already much hardier than that of a grown man. They are clumsy and not yet capable of walking properly, forced instead to shamble about on all fours, but any inhibition this causes them is more than made up for by the raw strength of their race.
====Troll====
Trolls have been a mote to trouble the thoughts of humanity and dwarf-kind, who remain baffled at the origins of these creatures, and perhaps more importantly, the driving force behind their unnatural vitality and strength. A fully-grown troll towers above a man, and, even unarmed, would be a great threat in combat. The large clubs typically favored in fighting act as extensions of their arms, used for the same purpose of mauling their prey into submission.
====Troll Rocklobber====
The thought of throwing a boulder in combat has certainly occurred to many trolls, and some have taken to them as a weapon of choice. Because such stones are not always easy to find, Rocklobbers have taken to carrying them in sacks slung over their shoulders. The same leather out of which the sack is formed is easily adapted to a crude sling.
====Troll Warrior====
Trolls typically neither need nor prefer to use any proper armament in combat, as large 'sticks and stones' serve them all too well. However, trolls have been seen on numerous occasions clad in rough-shod armor and bearing metal hammers. It is speculated that their typical orcish allies are the source and often crafters of these, as expeditions into several forcibly-vacated troll holes have shown little evidence of tool use, and certainly no metalworking of any kind. Given how dangerous a troll is in combat, the thought of a troll in full armor is entirely unsettling.

*The strongest get most of the food and become fearsome Orc warriors- and often leaders, the highest caste of their race.
*Those that survive by dexterity and cunning are known as Goblins. Though smaller and weaker they possess greater agility and speed, and enough empathy to lead their fellows in battle and train the great wolves that they ride. They are allowed a less honorable, but important place in the battle-line.
*Orcs that barely survive childhood are known as Drudges. Weaker and duller-witted than other Orcs, they still posses great endurance. They are not allowed in battle or to breed, but treated as a slaves. A Drudges status is higher only than slaves of other races, and Orcs who have been terribly dishonored.

Orcs, Goblins and Drugdes have distinct roles in their society. Since the differences are physically obvious, caste distinctions are rigourously maintained among males. The Orcs always rule the clans, but Goblins often wield great power as advisors. Caste distinctions are less rigourous among females, who may gain prestiege by bearing young that become Orc warriors. Females train for war, but less rigourously than the males, they generally only fight in defence of their villages.

Orcs have little interest in technology-- the crossbow being a notable exception. In general they prefer to rely on brute strength or slaves. Magic is little developed among them. The crafting of arms and armor is their primary art-- they excel at making inelegant, but effective weapons. Money is seen primarily as a tool to prepare for war. Orcs who hold a looser version of their warrior's code will fight as mercenaries, while more rigourous Orcs will take only plunder and glory.

===Old Orc Desription:===
Orcs are a race of fierce, brown-skinned human-like creatures found across the wild places of the world. They came from across the sea, following the humans of the Green Isle. They are violent, quick-tempered, and belligerent, and hold an ancient hatred for the race of elves. Although orcs are disorganized and prone to infighting, warbands under a strong leader can cut bloody inroads into the boundaries where civilization meets wilderness. Most live in the Northland, away from the settled land of Wesnoth, whose people they are more often than not at war with. They are a greedy race, and often can be found fighting under the banner of a lich-lord or human, hoping to gain riches from those they defeat.

Goblins are a different breed than the orcs, smaller and weaker, but quicker. However, since they are the same species, they are considered by most the same race.

== Beginning of the World ==
The histories of Men all fail before their arrival at the Old Continent. However, the long-lived Elves remember much more--though they are willing to speak only part of it. The Elves say that before thinking beings walked on the Old Continent, the speaking peoples dwelt in a land called Aon. Aon was the first place, and more beautiful than any land now known. The Woses, Humans, Trolls, Elves, Merfolk, and Dragons, and beings now forgotten all lived without knowing war. For a reason of which the Elves will not speak, the peace of Aon was broken, war and destruction came, and a remnant fled over the ocean. After a time some of the refugees tried to return to Aon, but no sign of it was ever discovered. Some believe that it Aon was sunk, or burned up, or simply taken away by a great magic. Aon cannot be reclaimed.

== Life, Death, Belief ==
It is taken for granted by most beings on the Great Continent that the Body and Soul are distict, joined for a time in Life. Tales of the Undead demonstrate this, re-animated bodies evidence none of the personality of their former selves, while Ghosts of the restless undead show that the soul may outlast the body. In some cases a Soul may be forcibly joined to a re-animated body by powerful dark magic. Such states of being are regarded by most as terrible violations of the natural order, or at best as pale counterfits of natural life.

However the consequences of a natural death are less well understood. Niether Dark nor Light Magics can provide positive information on the condition of a Soul that has moved on. Each race has distinct beliefs, but it is generally held that the Soul continues indefinitely in a place beyond this world, and that the consequences of actions (weather good or ill) done in life will continue after life.

There are no Higher Power(s) who's actions can be clearly observed in the world around them.

== Trolls ==

Trolls are an enigma to the other races, even their allies the orcs know little about them. When the orcs invaded the Northlands from accross the sea, the Trolls occupied the same scattered territories that they do today. The orcs could not dislodge the Trolls from their hills and caves, and somehow their enmity turned to respect and then an alliance.

Trolls tell little about themselves, but are nearly as silent, stubborn, and strong as the rocks of their homelands. Trolls seem content to go for days without speaking or moving. Most accidental encounters with Troll end without the Troll having moved more than it's eyes. However an angered Troll is truely terrible. No other race can equal the raw power a Troll, barehanded they are a match for a well armed soldier. They also ignore ignore and can heal on the battle-field all but the most grevious wounds. The source of this ability, weather natural or magical, is unknown.

Trolls are clumsy, and are generally considered stupid, however it is difficult to judge the intelligence of a creature so inscrutable.

Trolls possess fewer arts than even the Orcs. Sometimes the mightiest trolls will accept armor from the orcs, but they trade little with other races nor do they keep slaves. They prefer living simply in caves near the surface. Trolls do not count years, but it is believed they live a very long time.

====Troll Whelp====
Describing a troll as a whelp is something of an oxymoron, given that their bodies are already much hardier than that of a grown man. They are clumsy and not yet capable of walking properly, forced instead to shamble about on all fours, but any inhibition this causes them is more than made up for by the raw strength of their race.
====Troll====
Trolls have been a mote to trouble the thoughts of humanity and dwarf-kind, who remain baffled at the origins of these creatures, and perhaps more importantly, the driving force behind their unnatural vitality and strength. A fully-grown troll towers above a man, and, even unarmed, would be a great threat in combat. The large clubs typically favored in fighting act as extensions of their arms, used for the same purpose of mauling their prey into submission.
====Troll Rocklobber====
The thought of throwing a boulder in combat has certainly occurred to many trolls, and some have taken to them as a weapon of choice. Because such stones are not always easy to find, Rocklobbers have taken to carrying them in sacks slung over their shoulders. The same leather out of which the sack is formed is easily adapted to a crude sling.
====Troll Warrior====
Trolls typically neither need nor prefer to use any proper armament in combat, as large 'sticks and stones' serve them all too well. However, trolls have been seen on numerous occasions clad in rough-shod armor and bearing metal hammers. It is speculated that their typical orcish allies are the source and often crafters of these, as expeditions into several forcibly-vacated troll holes have shown little evidence of tool use, and certainly no metalworking of any kind. Given how dangerous a troll is in combat, the thought of a troll in full armor is entirely unsettling.
