Wesnoth1.6Features

Stuff people are working on

Mordante

Will complete

• Add new dialog to show the transparent portraits Kitty made. (In progress)
• Improvement to gold carry over (https://gna.org/bugs/?12227). (CIB fixed it.)
• UI sounds for the new widgets.
• Tooltips for new widgets. (broken)
• Improve campaign selection dialog (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497655)
• Fix the history shortcut key (https://mail.gna.org/public/wesnoth-dev/2009-01/msg00049.html)
• Look at layering bug with standing animations (https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?12867)

Wants to complete

• Finish the new widgets (Won't be done before 1.6)
• Open bugs assigned to me

Hopes to complete

• Open FRs assigned to me

Sapient

Am Done With

• Allow math to be used in any WML tag (http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=317204#p317204)

Probably won't complete

• New WML tag [global_event] for events that persist across scenarios

zookeeper

Wants to complete

• Finalizing the gold carryover changes in mainline campaigns (as long as the maintainer doesn't oppose it, naturally) and rebalancing accordingly.
  • Update: done for all campaigns except for NR and LoW.

• Implementing a final version of the ai controller, and then deciding whether we want to use it across all/most the mainline campaigns or not.
  • Update: doing it as flawlessly as I want is tricky and a simpler implementation could open a can of worms in some campaign scenarios, so I'll postpone it until after 1.6. The basic code for it is ready however, so we could still wire it in to campaigns later on in the 1.6 branch.

esr

Am Done With

• Substantive changes to existing mainline campaigns. As far as I am concerned, existing mainline WML could freeze for translation in 7 days (e.g. 9 Nov).
• I have no C++ core features planned for 1.6.
• Custom music lists for all mainline scenarios that don't already have them

Hopes to complete

• Get the bug count below 30

David

Ilor

Am Done With

• Editor2 is usable
• Some of the FRs

Wants to complete

• Editor usablity improvements and bugfixes
• Bugs assigned to me
• (especially) The filebrowser mess

Hopes to (have time to) complete

• Various minor FRs lying around the bugtracker that I found interesting

Probably won't complete

• Research ways of launching the editor while playing a game, possibly with the results being loaded back into the game. Needs to be fast and crash-proof
