Thank you, I hope this will make life easier for all of us.

I want to add, that I too think the idea cellar door, is great. It looks good and suits the function of the house perfectly.

i got an great idea on how to fix that hotspot-problem, the problem is, the hotspot would be on level 1, the path to the hotspot would therefore be stairs, wich would create serious problems with the build animation i guess, the builder would build those stairs, and somehow stand ontop of them right when he builds it, create anyway?

Sure, it doesn't hurt to try.
Another approach might be to put the warehouse on a smaller base, but give it a larger second story like the original warehouse.

heres the hotspot-problem-solved pic ^^



but i still got some weird issues:



shouldn't the bottom left piece of the building be behind the worker in the game engine? how can that be changed in the code? i guess it should be considered a bug, shouldn't it?

IMO, do the dimensions of the warehouse not fit to the ones of other houses. I mean the door, the staircase, just about all is too big compared to the game keeper (for example) seen in the picture. One sees that it was a small picture made big, if you understand what I mean.

Concerning your last questions: It’s a kind of bug, especially if the building is very big: https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands/+bug/695035


Two is the oddest prime.

i´ll get details in soon by the way, that will make the stairs look smaller and i´ll consider scaling those doors down once more...

that bug is realy a pain in the ähäm... anyway how can i get arround it, is there a way? the guy can now walk above the building from top left to bottomright, but not the other way... where are those settings for the z-axis stuff so i could consider fixing the bug
