Saloon

When I was searching for saloon of some sort on hive, even the whole forums, only reference I found was by Radagast. But it was just an idea for the contest. Now I made what Radagast should make already long ago. It's your ordinary saloon, where cowboy meet, drink and play cards. Without the giant SALOON writing, but that may change in the future. It was meant to train certain type of units, like this one Ghoul Gunslinger

Looks good and works well in-game. You could just re-check that decay animation. (very small detail) The smoke disappears all of sudden (instead you could just gradually reduce emission rate). And the debris mesh could last longer, as debris generally...

I really like this - the textures fit well and the construction is solid. I'm not sure about the flag tho, not that TC is bad, just wish it were more of a sign with a title or something. Perhaps just throw the tavern's beer sign texture over it. Also, some TC trim on other parts of the building would look better in overall read - example just a thin strip of TC along the balcony and roof. Overall great work tho and it really does look like a cowboy western tavern.

Well, there were two reasons why no Saloon text. One was because it would need a custom texture, the other that would lessen its usefulness, because it can still be used as any wooden building.

It doesn't need a custom texture - just a custom flat geoset of the text. True about the wooden building but hey = I thought its supposed to be a Saloon. Maybe keep the generic version on file and make another variant with the text and maybe also a saloon logo/image - example the beer from the tavern's sign.
