Greetings I often have "muster points" for units, meaning I will move all nearby idle units onto the same tile and "Sentry" them until required. These muster points may contain many dozens of units. Currently I usually move all my units first, then return to the muster points. Ty...

Many thanks indeed. Now done. It allowed me to attached the save file which hopefully will help. I did search for bugtracker or equivalent (having used it in the past on other sites) but couldn't find it here. By the way it gave me a message <quote> Success: New item posted (bug #22535) file #21931 ...

Greetings I'm not sure whether this is the correct section to post bug reports, as I don't need any technical support :) Please redirect me if wrong! In a game with a large number of cities, within the "Cities" selection (F4) if you action such as press "Buy" often the window scr...

Best not to think too hard about this, as many aspects of the spatial and temporal scale of Freeciv don't quite add up :) Absolutely agreed! :) But when we immerse ourselves into a gripping freeciv map I am sure that most of us imagine a correlation to the real world. For the scenario maps one can ...

Ah, thank you once again. I didn't notice that line! Now I understand what you meant about typing in 'find_next_trade_route()'. Obviously the lua function code would need to be written anyway and presumably placed in one of the game files, but it seems that a much better/quicker/easier way (at least...

ILoveLilyAllen, the scripts I sent you normally work on the console also in the middle of game. I just wanted to start from the most simple example. There's no way to wire it up to a GUI button -- what I had in mind by "on-demand" was that you'd go to the console and type 'find_next_trade...

That's wonderful advice again thank you :) That tells me what to do if I start a new game. I would like to run a new script on a game which has already been created. if I am half-way through a turn and want to run a script at that point how do I do it? And JTN has been extremely helpful as well, tha...

Marvellous, thank you so much.

Well that is simple: just put the code into the Lua console - no wonder there's no "HowTo"!

Just a small supplementary question if I may: how do you actually run the code please?

Greetings All For a "toe in the water" I have an idea for creating some lua scripts for example to tell all my engineers to build a railway if they are on a tile which only has a road. Despite the valiant efforts and achievements of the wiki authors and knowledgeable forum contributors, be...
