Fixes order for siblings.

Refs. #6081.

Agreeing. Just not the motivation to do this soon.

Yeah, binaries files are not really handled.

I fixed the black lines.

Slight resimplification: groups, variants (when defined as part of a group) & material/castshadow/float can take a minquality and a maxquality. They only get loaded if the range matches. If you want to skip textures/anims/props, just make a variant/group.

Gave this a bit more thought - I think this isn't working if the variations vary the model (which basically never happens right now, but it could). The idea is overall pretty OK I think, but it's not like to work here.

You can also do it by scrolling above the dropdown while the dropdown isn't open.

Fix units going through foundations.

• Allow delegating to a file
• That defining 'minquality' on groups/variants/textures/props/animations, and automatically skip these. This makes it possible to use a single file as basis for multiple quality levels. Ideally I'd add a maxQuality too there.
• Further minor code refactoring.

Maybe combine the lowest setting with bb change about reducing variations (using the same seed)? It'd be more clear for players.

I'm not sure I like it.

I guess we should ask some more actual players for their opinion.

The issue is how to differentiate crossbowmen without making them more effective than archers, which would unbalance the game.

For citizen units it may make sense to remove the advance and elite rank, since it was easy to learn, and increase the attack or something else.

• unordered_set, constantify stuff
• Fix testudo - units were indeed too close to each other.

I think it would be good to have option to delegate actor to another file like variant or prop

It does not.

Some better testing shows:

• minimap doesn't work anymore
• some wrong z-levels in the gameosetup & the game session (civ shield)

As noted by Freagarach, if you typed fast enough you could still trigger hotkeys.
The problem is that "KeyUp" wasn't handled, and so you could actually retrigger hotkeys on key up.
I think the logical thing to do here is to handle "keyup" in input/console too - since anyways otherwise keyup hotkeys could also fire on Press, which seems wrong too.

• Switch to a dropdown: Low/Medium/High
• Implement the same quality levels as text in actors
• Rework the Demo actors for Combat Demo Huge, see summary for screenshots.

Typing in the chat makes the camera move with this patch, but not without.

Since walls only snap at towers, you can keep those the same and do introduce the civ-specific components for the rest of the pieces? We can try to fix the snapping in the meantime? I know it is hacky, and inconsistent, but seems closer to what the above two people want?

Moreover, it would make rebuilding palisades captured from other players (e.g. via territory decay) harder.

This is already the case for walls, so perhaps not too strange.

"Easy to learn, difficult to master." ;)

@DanW58 what happened? This diff looked so promising would be a pity to be left to accumulate dust.

I like the idea (Hello, by the way, first post here). I'm guessing you need new meshes and textures for the palisades of different civs? If that's the case, I can make some.

What about fixing it instead?

It's an improvement. Makes it easier to add civ-specific actors/models later. A bamboo fence for example for the Han (just an example! don't need a long treatise about why this is or isn't accurate).

The problem I can see is that people think: "Why do I have reduced trade?" because the multiplier is smaller than 1.

If there is to be a default, then why not name it 'Default'? Make things easier to understand for our players.

"none" can be an interesting addition.
