Hi while digging through our history on launchpad I found an incomplete version of an attempt to make Atlantean mission 2. I have adapted this to be playable in newest trunk again.
See lp:~widelands-dev/widelands/atlantean02

If SirVer or Nasenbaer still know what should have been the storyline I might try to finish this. Anyhow any Input on this would be welcome.

EDIT: ----------- be careful reading this thread will spoiler some parts of the story -----------------

Great that you´re picking this up! face-smile.png

For some more general aspects what the atl campaign should be like, see https://wl.widelands.org/wiki/AtlanteanStory/

IMHO you should feel free to change the "original" storyline (if there was one) according to your own ideas and preferences, as Widelands also changed rather a lot since then, and since anything beyond the existing stub will be your own work face-smile.png

Thanks for picking this up!

I agree with Nordfriese, you can change the story to your linking. Neither Nasenbaer nor SirVer have the time to work on this any more.

I also think it would be nice to have a volcano on the first Atlanteans map - it was not possible when the map was originally created, because the engine was still split into 4 separate worlds at the time.

I Know that I will have to do the complete work. I just hoped for some lines what was their original story outline for this map. I found just one line in the related Bug description https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands/+bug/673736.
However I hoped for some additional input.
To make the original story work i first need to make their script to dump an economy work again. For this I need a possibility to write to the filesystem from lua or rewrite the whole thing to use syve campaign data interface. I will add the script to the new branch first perhaps someone can have a look on it as well.

You could also write a PM to SirVer and ask if he still remembers any other ideas.

Found an old yet unmerged branch for that I will try to incorporate the changes made there.

BTW: my work on the lua scripts to dump and load an economy (consisting of flags, roads and buildings does make ggod progress. as soon as they are ready I'll add them to the branch. They could be useful for other scenario designers though.

Ok I finished the scripts for dumping the economy. I uploaded them to the branch. Feel free to have a look at them. No I will start scripting and making this scenario ready.

basic setup of the mission is now ready for the story to evolve. Could need some playtest though if this is to difficult.
