SAM - Street Addon Mod

[Andreas]

Well, you won't have to wait that long, I think.

[bwatterud]

Just a little nit-pick (don't kill me ), but there's no reason to have the inner lane on the brick street roundabout. 

[nerdly_dood]

I should never have said anything; such a degree of confusion REALLY is a problem that results in a combination of and and

[j-dub]

Speaking of confusion, I want to ad stopsigns to some of the texture varients or know how. This is the thing, whats the family for stopsigns and how would I edit this- Num220 type7ab50e44 group1abe787d instance5e557734 and another example- num315 same type same group, instance5e527704 ?  are these allowed to be changed?

[thundercrack83]

Love the brick roundabout, my friend! Things are looking great around here, I can't wait to see more development!

@Jdub You can make your own set of T21s for SAM if you like.  Im just not going to help you after I tried to help you once already.

@bwatterud   I did not make these textures, but... we probably could have done without them.  They still look good in my opinion so Im not going to request they be changed.  And they definately wouldnt be changed before BETA v2

Well, I know this is far from even being started, but I have been thinking I want to play with the Bridge Controller a bit, maybe I can twist Jeronij's arm and get him to help me out a bit by making an experiment into making some SAM Bridges, if they are even possible.  Im not a modeller, but if we were to skin the models with a different SAM texture variation, we may be able to build a set of basic SAM bridges.

EDIT:

So the testing begins.

As you can see from the following picture, SAM Roundabouts, Intersections with OWR and new Cobblestone textures are in effect ready.



Other testers who have the files may start showing pictures IF you have the latest version of the NAM_Controller updated by Alex this afternoon on the NAM Private exchange.

  i want it for a christmas present

Amazing work as always. Can't wait for this to be released.

[Dexter]

Looking great! I love the new cobblestone textures, they look much better  .

Roundabouts look great, I have been waiting for them for ages  .

Also, a small question: For some reason when using PEG gravel streets, the dead end textures don't show up and also the end tile goes opaque when dragging. Is this fixed in v.2, or am I missing something?

[Diggis]

Yes that should be fixed.

[Diggis]

Just a little nit-pick (don't kill me ), but there's no reason to have the inner lane on the brick street roundabout. 

How right you are.  Once V2 is done and dusted I plan on going back and updating the entire set (don't tell Jason) and that will possiby be one of the changes. 

Jason, Great Pic, I do love that texture!

[bat]

Yes, a really nice pictures there! Also like the texture!

[Shadow Assassin]

By the way, guys, Jason's pic of the cobblestone textures do not do it justice. You have to see it in game to admire the work Diggis has done.

[nerdly_dood]

IDEA:  I just got an idea for diagonal SAM streets!  If some appropriate overhanging props are made, diagonal SAM streets can be made on flat ground (but this won't work on hills)

Great work so far

[jplumbley]

PLEASE DO NOT ask about Diagonal Textures.  If it is possible then they may get done.  The original MAXIS Streets were not equipt with diagonal capabilities.  The Diagonal Streets are an addon made for the NAM, but due to the way they have been created there may be stability issues with making Diagonal Streets for SAM networks.  I am not promising anything about this.

Nerdly_Dood.... Read the readme!!

[Palpatine001]

Tsk tsk for not reading the Readme... 

Anycase the additions to the roundabout are lookin great and will be a finishing touch to cities with SAM in them.
My favourite being the bricks with the centre line and the black surface for industry.

as always



Ummmm I noticed that coming back in for a look

The  was a pure accident - was meant to be as it is now the signatory Palpatine 4 thumbs up - hence the 

My most humble regrets for any offense caused durring that error of mine



Forgot when hitting Save on a reply here it takes you back to the menu and not the thread like in other sites 

[nerdly_dood]

i'm not saying that the actual textures themselves for diagonal SAM streets could be done, and that's not what i'm saying.  overhanging props are well known and , well, i think i would have been better off not saying anything.

[Crissa]

We probably should include diagonal or soft-curves for SAM submittals just in case, tho.

-Crissa

[Andreas]

Eh, you really should read that readme file.    It doesn't say that it's not possible to make them, but that there are certain technical limitations. The NAM doesn't use fake stuff like overhanging props, but only functional items. Apart from that, new items need time to develop, and time is something that isn't available in huge amounts...

[Diggis]

Please don't talk about diagonals as everytime I swear a fairy dies!
