add-on campaign for The Battle for Wesnoth featuring the Akladians; originally by szopen

Hi there 👋

Creating a repository with the same name as your own username will allow you to have a README displayed on your own GitHub profile page, too!

• 🔭 I’m currently working on legislating, Battle for Wesnoth campaigns, porting FOSS Unix-y stuff to Macs, trying to make PureDarwin a thing, trying to fix bugs in GCC so it can help me be a better programmer, imagining an alternative Constitution, and other misc. stuff.
• 🌱 I’m currently learning legislative process.
• 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on legislation, and really anything I'm working on.
• 🤔 I’m looking for help with issues tagged with help-wanted or question in my repositories: SotBEEE, my Miiverse scrape, my fork of Apple's gdb, TEG, "A New Order" (and its separate art repo), "Dawn of Thunder", osxbom, my fork of emacs, my fork of MacPorts, Portfile2formula2finkinfo, DeARCification, my fork of the uscode, the repo for my tweetback archive, trousers-0.3.11.2, my fork of Platypus, my fork of libraqm, my fork of linguist, my fork of clojurescript, and anything on my list on the GCC Bugzilla (requires login).
• 💬 Ask me about why contributing to FOSS is good politics!
• 📫 How to reach me: Mastodon: @[email protected] ...or BlueSky: @egall.bsky.social _{^{(or, use the email address associated w/my commits – do git log in 1 of my repos to see it)}}
• 😄 Pronouns: he/him
• ⚡ Fun fact: there's no "h" in my spelling of "Gallager" (despite most spellcheckers assuming otherwise).
• Sponsor me! https://github.com/sponsors/cooljeanius or https://opencollective.com/cooljeanius or https://www.patreon.com/EricGallager or https://ko-fi.com/ericgallager
• ...or donate to NH political candidates I support! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ericgallagersnhdemsrecs
• Also note that I dislike emojis and didn't add the ones in this README myself; I just declined to remove the ones GitHub had already left entered by default for me, because my laziness overpowers my disdain for emojis.
• Website whose existence I appreciate: https://www.adsbexchange.com/
• My LibrePlanet 2023 talk on the Free Software legislation I've been working on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umlPMEGfZBM

a_new_order's Issues

Battle of Barnon gold carryover

Battle of Barnon does some odd things with gold bonuses that I'm not sure carry over to the following scenarios properly. This issue is just here to remind me to work on debugging that

Missing sound effects

Some units have silent attacks (e.g. the Akladian Wonderman's lightbeam, the Akladian Darknite's greatsword). They should be given sound effects.

Siege of Haeltin makes BfW 1.16 hang

I'm putting this issue here in my repo because it might be due to changes I haven't contributed back to @nemaara yet; it happened just as side 5 was about to start their turn on turn 14.

Activity Monitor sample:
wesnoth_sample_20211213.txt

Save from immediately before it:
ANO-Siege of Haeltin-Auto-Save14.gz

Missing message captions

From README_egallager_mods.txt. All calls to the {MESSAGE} macro should fill in the CAPTION_TEXT parameter when relevant, since using the macro overwrites that field (whereas using the [message] tag directly lets you keep the caption field blank, in which case the message would just use the speaker= tag for the caption instead).

Vary more quantities by difficulty

From README_egallager_mods.txt. On my first playthru it seemed that too many quantities were hardcoded.

Add snowshoes for winter levels

I'm doing this for SotBEEE, so I might as well bring them over here, too

replace commenting-out of code with ifdef-ing out of code

From README_egallager_mods.txt. I prefer to keep my inactive code properly syntax highlighted, and wmlindent-able and wmllint-able.

copy over AI controller file

I added uses of the AI controller to this campaign, but it is deprecated. If I want to keep using it, I'll need to copy over the file containing the macros for it into this add-on, as I did for SotBEEE in cooljeanius/Son_Of_The_Black_Eye_Easy_Edition@ccf4813

General copyediting

From README_egallager_mods.txt. Mostly done by 9f1bc28, but I'm sure I missed things...

contribute changes back to Yumi

There are changes in here that need to go in a PR back to @nemaara's version of the repo; I might want to do another playthru before submitting a new PR, though...

Update Akladian Homeguard spirtes. Please.

They have imapct attacks, but the present sprites use swords.
Use these. They were made by Edwylm on the Art Workshop forum.

Transfer the issue to the main repo if you want.

Write custom AI to prevent allies from killstealing

In S02 (Fighting for Passage) where you're supposed to be grinding, the allied AI units steal kills from you, preventing you from getting the EXP you need. On Discord celtic_minstrel said I might have to write an entire custom AI to stop them from doing that, but that sounds hard, so I'm just going to open an issue about it for now instead.
