Title: Telephone poles on the street
Post by: Neofita on May 03, 2010, 02:22:09 PM
I am writing this post because I have little idea.
There is no possibility to build a nice or care about the details built the city without such an element as a telephone pole.
Missing some other posts but my idea applies to street and road.
What is missing will present photos

You can do the railway traction (Catenary Mod) I think the same way you can put the telephone poles near the street or road.

All the telephone poles are placed near the road / street,We have then something to do with placing the building.
You can not put those poles in the city,they can be put in the place where,Put the tree or not is nothing but grass.
Making the street from the poles is probably possible.
I think operate the same way as Catenary Mod.
Change only the surface of the railway track to the street / road.
It is possible to do this MOD? Telephone Poles MOD :) &idea.
I think that not only for me this MOD would be a good addition to the game.
I do not know how to build slums and suburbs ;)

Maybe the idea that something was made.Please write if you can do something like that,Is the idea you like.

I'm kind of sure that something like it could be made, but this type of pole was abolished over here decades ago. Even in the most rural areas you just won't find them anymore. So I'm not quite sure how useful they might be (or how to use them) ingame. Anyway, nice idea.  :thumbsup:

They still occur on 99% of non CBD roads here in Aus. I would definitely use this if someone were to make it. Why not use the existing rural power lines, and T21 them (without the actual lines, just poles)? Can't be that hard...  %wrd

They still exist in some urban areas, and many rural areas.

The idea of little interest.
But I believe that such a street or road with telephone poles on the sides would be useful to rural areas or deprived urban areas.
If only I knew how to do something I would have took to create such a MOD.

I have create cables which follow the slope for the skilifts, they can be also applied for electric poles, it is then enough to create T21....

The problem is that I do not know how to do it.I think that if T21 is used in Catenaries MOD and other MOD,streets and roads are built the same way as rail.
I'm not sure if my idea is good but it probably works the same way.
I described this idea because I do not know how to make a mod.

You can indeed place the telephone poles on the streets / roads with T21 exemplars. Making such a mod isn't very difficult. Xyloxadoria wrote an excellent tutorial over here: http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=7049.0
