Widelands Build 20 Released
The Widelands Development Team is proud to announce the immediate availability of Widelands Build 20. Widelands is a free, cross-platform economy strategy game in which players control the fate of a small tribe that can grow into a big empire, in a style of play that is unique in the open source world.
Since the previous release, we have implemented over 400 features, code cleanups and bug fixes. Build 20 features a new tribe – the Frisians – as well as four new campaign scenarios and a new “Barracks” building for recruiting soldiers. Also, the AI has been rewritten to use a genetic algorithm. The user interface comes with new features that make it easier to use, like map zoom, dropdown menus, a new ships list, and improved keyboard navigation. Build 20 also continues the behind the scenes cleanup, polish and modernization that was started with Build 19. There have been additional improvements to the stability and performance, as well as numerous bug-fixes.

The green is definitely too lush for the desert terrain, so without would indeed be better.

I'm mostly busy with Widelands, but I've also started to contribute a bit of i18n-related code to Wesnoth and Valyria Tear and am learning git in the process. Bazaar is so much easier to learn, but too unmaintained these days.
And of course translating a couple of projects - I always have a few going at the same time, so I can skip between them according to my mood. The latest additions to the list are Valyria Tear and MuseScore. 1,213 of 20.22k words done, hey-ho.

How about having them attack when they are a minimum distance away from the building?

Those who enjoy single-player games will also find MegaGlest a very enjoyable game.
This has "enjoy" twice. "Those who" ... "like"? "prefer"? "are looking for"?

« on: 13 March 2017, 16:09:06 »
The way we handle that problem in Widelands is to record the software version with the replay file and show it on the replay selction screen. So the user can see if the replay will still work or not.

Off topic / Re: Kallen 3d
« on: 19 December 2016, 09:19:52 »I gave it a quick spin on Windows with Firefox - seems to work fine. The things that need doing most to make it easy to play:
- Use white font colour for the controls list, the black is almost impossible to read. Make it easy to get that list back on screen.
- I found that I was too lazy to try to remember the hotkeys, so think about which of these actions can have toolbar buttons too.
- Increase the walking speed or slow down the animation speed - the character is sort of running in place when he walks.

Seems like this is RTS games release week - 0 A.D, a new development version of Battle for Wesnoth, and now Widelands as well. We have just released Build 19
Widelands is a free, open source real-time buildup strategy game with single player campaigns and a multiplayer mode. The game was inspired by Settlers II™ (© Bluebyte) but has significantly more variety and depth to it.
You are the regent of a small clan. Your task is to build an ever growing settlement. Every member of your clan will do his or her part to produce more resources to further this growth.
Widelands offers a single-player mode with campaigns that tell stories of the tribes and their struggle in the Widelands universe. However, settling really starts when you unite with friends over the Internet or LAN to build up new empires together – or to crush each other in the dusts of war. Widelands also offers an artificial intelligence to challenge you.

Forum discussion / Re: Evaluating ElkArte (as a possible SMF replacement)
« on: 28 June 2016, 21:13:09 »
I have been running phpBB for many years now. It has converters for SmF available:
https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=1641375&start=0
Starting from version 3.1, they have replaced the mod system with an extension system, so adding/removing the features you want has become a lot easier now.
Customizing the style will be the one thing that's fiddly and tome consuming, since you will have to work directly on the .css. We could pick any dark background theme as a starter though and add the theme later.

« on: 6 June 2016, 13:01:25 »
I seem to remember reading somewhere that best practices are as follows:
- When loading, assume that filenames are case-sensitive
- When saving, assume that filenames are case-insensitive

Maybe a popup displaying the error, then after the user clicks OK, return to the main menu? Distinguishing the messages does make sense.

« on: 6 August 2015, 21:08:15 »
The log file posted here is from my own system, actually, which runs Megaglest just fine. I can't reproduce the problem now, maybe it only happens with a fresh install?

MegaGlest / Re: Problem with text
« on: 27 July 2015, 07:56:11 »
I did some testing - this is definitely a bug in Megaglest 
Until this is fixed, you won't be able to play in Russian. In order to get a different language, go to %appdata%/megaglest and edit glestuser.ini. Replace Lang=russian with Lang=english.
I have posted a bug report.

Where did you install Megaglest? I know from a different project that they have problems with non-ASCII characters in the file path. Try installing to C:\Megaglest to see if it helps.
