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

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?
