Interested in creating your own scenarios and campaigns? One of Wesnoth's best features is its extensibility. Players can create new maps, units, races, scenarios, art, music, and even entire campaigns. Access to the "guts" of the game is both simple and difficult; if you have an ASCII text editor you have everything you need to build your own world. However, learning the Wesnoth Markup Language (WML) takes some effort. This section will guide you through the process of creating and distributing your own content.

It should also be noted that '''we need a lot of help creating artwork for the core of the game.''' The current projects we are working on are [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9162 listed here]. We'll happily help you out, if you take a swing at them.

== Read this first! ==
Before you modify or add anything, it is important to understand how the game stores and organizes its data. This article will explain the game's directory structure and introduce the ''userdata'' directory.

WesnothRepository

Japsu: /* Download */ it takes a lot more than 450 MB nowadays

{{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). Most other branches are only used for a short time to do some testing without disturbing the main development. You can use your web browser to navigate through the source code:

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

== Download ==

To check out trunk into a directory ''wesnoth'' (About 250 MB to download and 700 MB disk-space (including .svn dirs) required, in October 2007):
svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/wesnoth/trunk wesnoth

or to check out the 1.2 branch (About 329 MB at august 2007) 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.
