Such a small change, but somehow it gives the game so much more life. Same goes for the well, really, though of course it's a bit strange that the worker just disappears when idle and then like BOOM i had this idea: we could have the worker sitting arround the working space in the idle, only problem would be: the idle would have to wait until a worker arrives... is there any way to add a line or two in the conf file like if workers=0 pics=i_00 if workers>0 pics=i_01 or something?

There is no special unoccupied state defined. Did you never see the smith reading his newspapers, while he just should be on the way? Im not sure, whether it is planned by now. Certainly not for build16. ;-) So just make the idle animation, its no big problem at the moment, that its even running, when its not occupied. Two is the oddest prime. Top Quote

As Venatrix said, no such changes before build16, but perhaps you could add a bug report about this on Launchpad and target it for build17? There are a number of possibilities for fixing it, I guess most of them can actually be fixed via conf files, by switching between different building animations, but if there is a need for some C++ changes then we should definitely accomodate that as well.

However, there is no code to play a specific animation while waiting for the worker to arrive at the site v.s. idle. As stated above, it won't happen for build 16, especially now we're in a "First snow fall" feature freeze leading up to release. I am glad this issue has been raised again. I for one would REALLY like to see such options available for animation. (Note the author of the bug report.) ;) Maybe someone would care to submit a new bug report to address this specific issue. (hint, hint) Edited for clarity. Edited: 2011-02-23, 14:37 I see little people. Top Quote

For continuity throughout the barbarian buildings we might use: Slate roof - appending a material like that for military buildings (ex. donjon) could work wood shingle roof - see the sentry Thatched (straw) roof - see headquarters Of course, there is nothing to stop you from working up your own materials.

(hint, hint) Well, I had a look and realized that there already is a report about that issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands/+bug/657266 Its just declared as opinion, not as bug. So open another bug report is not an option. I just post a link to this discussion. Right? Two is the oddest prime. Top Quote

Thanks for airing this issue again. I see little people. Top Quote

(allso no problem for me) Take a look at the models for the farm, helmsmithy/weaving mill, brewery, one of the military buildings, or even one of the huts. Any of those roof materials would certainly work and keep continuity in design. However, if you want to experiment with a new material, go ahead! I just ask that we keep the rustic look for the barbarians, (i.e. no slate or tile roofs, or PAINT) Remember thatch is one of their chief building materials. If you feel like experimenting with a different design for the structure itself, I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with. Thanks for your efforts. It's always good to hear from you.
