No worries at all mate, I'm just happy your willing to help out, take your time there is no rush.

How are animations handled with a 2D model such as a building, I want to add flags that wave in the wind to the castle, how is this normally done? I see in Cossacks one of the town centres has a water fountain animation.

And this is just done in frames like a unit in the .gp files?

It is all what you need or maybe something more?

I apologize for my english.

Also have a stable I am happy with, will have a stable facing outwards where you can see the Horses mounted in thier stable, and behind this will be a bigger building attachment where the cavarly units will emrge, hard to explain, but I will get some pics up soon so you can see what I mean.

For the flags you can a make a separate gp with the flags swaying and so forth. Then in the md file put the name and blah blah and add the line @WORK 1 2 0 8

1= Idk
2= Refering to USERLC 2
0=idk
8= The number of n frames used.

Or just use Poppen's way. :P
That's from the mill in cossacks 1 btw.

Here is a little update on the trebuchet.

1.Animations for the trebuchet are done when launched. And boom!
2.Making crew textures and Models. woo
3. Last but not least making the reload animation.

Heres a pic

EDIT: Here is a part of the animation

Not much but it's something. There is something wrong with the gp the way I packed it. Its messy. Really messy.

Oh yeah Can't wait to see the castle in ruins!

Just had a look with the gp viewer, that is an awesome treb the animation looks exactly like a real treb! Its going to look unbelievable in the mod! I love the shields on the front, looks authentic! Can I ask one thing, can we have either a flag on the treb or shield with Englands coat of arms (just the one lion) or even a flag beaer as trying to make all military units and buildings feature the nations coat of arms e.g.:

Being unfamilar with projecticles and how they are handled with the AC engine, can we add a stone as the projectile? Or do we have to use a cannon ball animation?
