Like it is now, the building symbols seem to be looked at from a lower, more front-side view. Some buildings with an all-time open door have also grass inside, witch just looks some kind of unfinished. A wooden floor or whatever would be more fitting. my 2 cents, thank you for any kind of answer. Top Quote

While I may not have direct explanations for your "peanuts", I'll share my understanding on them. Why are the three different building symbols (small/red, medium/yellow, big/green) not shown from the same perspective angle like the general view in the game is? Like it is now, the building symbols seem to be looked at from a lower, more front-side view. The build-help symbols to which you refer are intended to be merely indicators of the types of structures a particular site on the map can support and are not intended to actually BE buildings. If you would like to offer some alternatives for the current symbols, I'd like to see what you would suggest. We're always looking for new ideas. Some buildings with an all-time open door have also grass inside, witch just looks some kind of unfinished. A wooden floor or whatever would be more fitting. Great observation! If you could provide a list of the buildings with this (or other) anomalies, we could address them as a Bug. Better still, I urge you to create a Bug Report at the Widelands project site on Launchpad. You can find it at www.launchpad.net/widelands. Thanks for your "peanuts"! Keep 'em coming. I see little people. Top Quote

Maybe I will try to make some drawings for alternate symbols (sadly I have almost no experience at graphic-tools, so Im not shure if ill get anything managed) Regarding the unfinished building textures im gonna write a bugreport with a list of all the relating buildings (all that I noted). greets, Gannaf Edited: 2010-08-08, 20:28 Top Quote

All most all buildings except the lumberjack house was like that. I think it was something done purposely. Although it looks bit odd NoOb KiWwaTa NoOb Ma NeWeI Top Quote

The other tribes dont have this issue. the bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands-media/+bug/615777 Something different: I thought about an animation for mines, that are actually workin ("producing 2 iron"). A fireglowing out of the door everytime the building starts working would be appropriate. Edited: 2010-08-10, 12:01 Top Quote

Making animations is where it's at. Get yourself up to speed on blender and help out, would you? Cheers, !SirVer Top Quote

But need more specific details about the texture adjustments as it is still unclear for a todo entry. So I put the bug in wish list until someone start to create the animations NoOb KiWwaTa NoOb Ma NeWeI Top Quote
