I know this wasn't an actual reqeusted task, but there is a "tuna" model in the map editor, and it's pretty far off (just a copy of the general "fish" model). So, I made model for a big, bluefin tuna. My current problem is, I'm not sure exactly which species of tuna I should go for. Something from the mediterranean sea should fit I think, but even there, googling for references I can't even 2 references with the same number of fins...

So in other words, fixing a bug for this experimental version fixed a bug for the usual version of the game? That's a win in my book

Fixed the orientation problem, it was a bug in our code (incidentally it also affects desktop versions of the game, when the fullscreen resolution changes), and the model_common shader had failed to compile due to a type issue, that is now fixed. The next step will be building for real Apple hardware and ARM, not the i386 simulator. A slightly more realistic test on a simulated iPad 2, rotated to landscape view:

Erm, if you have problems vs petra in easy there seems to be much room to improve your gameplay. Spectate decent players to get an idea of how to build up a working economy which enables you to train more soldiers... http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15271 contents a few nice videos...

they're extreme for a reason.

3DS Max 5? From 2002? I'm afraid that's not too likely to work as it needs to be able to open or at least export to Collada files, and I don't think there's a way to make that possible with such an old version. Newer versions support exporting to Collada (.dae) files by default unless I'm remembering wrong. There is a plugin that was used previously, but the oldest version that plugin supports is 7. I'd recommend using Blender instead. It might take a little while getting used to if you're used to Max's interface, but it supports Collada by default and since it's free you can always have the most recent version.

...however if it was to be committed, we'd prefer one that's created specifically for 0 A.D. - rather than using model and texture files that require attribution.

If we have a plane as a demonstration, we could have a tank, but you're right, it's too late for A17.
