I'll post here again when they are available. JIPPY!!!!! Wonderful work Chuck!!! Top Quote

EDIT - You just may be able to recognize the image over the citadel door. Thanks for all of your helpful ideas and discussion which got us to this point. On to the *build animation*!

Btw.: I saw the changed headquarters animation - I like the idea of having the emblem of the barbarians mounted above the door - however I think the very light frame of the emblem bites in my eyes ;). Perhaps you could change the frame that way, that it looks similiar to the one mounted to the citadel? Keep on the very good work Cheers Peter Top Quote

Besides, if you watched the build sequence, you've already seen the interior! EDIT - These are in the development trunk with rev #5971. On to the citadel! Now the builder (that's him under my name at the left so I can keep an eye on him) has to DIS-assemble this building to upgrade it. Ah, well, that's progress. Besides, it keeps the little guy busy and out of trouble. Edited: 2011-09-08, 02:08 I see little people. Top Quote

Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills. I am on Win32, have no means to compile, and rely on prefabricated distributions (Thanks to Tino). Top Quote

Posted at: 2011-09-09, 08:45 Hmm, i built a fortress directly beside my HQ for testing and in my opinion the perspective differs: http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8741/hqcompare.png Or is it just the different palisade walls?

Out of curiosity, though, I double-checked the camera controls in both models. You are absolutely right! For some reason, the copy of the template I used for the fortress had a lower camera height of only 8 blender units. I'm dismayed I didn't pick up on that, but grateful you brought it to my attention. I'll take immediate steps to correct the error. Thanks again, Tino (or should I call you "Eagle Eyes"?)
