ok, I got it, problem was in height. I made it 30, and image got fine. Now, how do I make it to show occupied state image?

Yeah, now I got it to work. I couldn't get it, because SHP should have name cnsanf19_A instead of casanf19_A. But I still have questions. My building is kinda transparent, e.g. I can see water shining through and lightning of explosions, and buildings outline: And, what about occupied state? Should I make animation for this too? What to write in rulesmd and artmd?

ahh. yeah. I forgot. Thanks! i've added animation description in artmd [CASANF19_A] Image=CASANF19_A NewTheater=yes Normalized=yes Start=0 LoopCount=-1 Layer=ground Shadow=yes DemandLoad=true is something wrong?

I've made casanf19.shp blank, just blue background with 1 frame. Next, I've created new shp CASANF19_A.shp, and put image there. In artmd.ini I've added this string ActiveAnim=CASANF19_A and now I cant see my building at all.

Sure, here is an image: this I put in rulesmd: [CASANF19] Name=Bank of America UIName=Name:CASANF19 TechLevel=-1 Strength=1000 Insignificant=yes Nominal=yes Remapable=yes ;RadarInvisible=yes Radar=yes @Doctor Destiny you mean first frame in SHP should be empty?

Ok, I've added new civilian skyscraper, It works fine, but its' lower corner is cut, and this part is invisible. Whats wrong?
