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 (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, the symbols /|\ which are meant for directional items like bridges and the symbol ^
  • the underscore is used for internal terrains
  • the star '*' can be used for wildcards in some parts
  • the symbol ^ usually points out 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.

Conversion form old to new

Map conversion logic is included in the upconvert tool (in newer versions, wmllint). This script will, among other things, convert a map with the old letters to the new strings. Here is a lookup table with the letters.

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