Hello dear SC4 Devotion members,
After seeing one of the threads in the "Show us your..." section in this site, I felt the need to start building my own cemetery :D !!!
As the first step, I have started to build the walls, nothing too much complicated, as you can see in these pictures:

These are the main pieces, one straight, one straight with entrance and one corner. I dont have the time to deal with diagonals for this project &mmm .
The walls will be very standard, and wont conform to slope this time, so they will have to be used in not too sloped terrains. Anyway, I have a place for these ones in Biniaraix city :P
I hope you like the idea ;D
Looks great Jeronij.
I would be interested in a copy of them too. Will you be releasing them? They are just the type of wall I've been looking for!
:satisfied:
awesome walls you have done i would be very interested in these thankyou in advance lol ;D
Nice work Jeronij, I love those walls, a bit too clean, but I'm sure your will do something about it ;)
:thumbsup:Look great Jeronij . As the ball on the top gonna be the light , or it's just a part of the wall .Just asking , maybe it could be an idea. ;D
Hello to all, since the walls are small pieces, and I did not find any difficulties, I finished the planned pieces and I putted togheter with some props. Here is the result:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fshow.imagehosting.us%2Fshow%2F1825954%2F0%2Fnouser_1825%2FT0_-1_1825954.jpg&hash=08905a67b7d72fe426037340bd3f4db6f324dbca)
Ooops, sorry, you can probably not see them from this distance 8) ;D . Lets try again...

So, are they going to be usable ?¿
Btw, I could not resist the ocassion to test the cemetery lots set available in the STEX, which gives a quite nice result. Maybe too clean.
Can you see them now ?¿
looks great jeronij.
I just think they are too much pink ( the top stone seems to be too pink )
They look great in game. I would love a set please.
The only fault is they are a bit too red/orangey to me. If they were greyer or darker maybe, they would look superb. But that is only cosmetic.
Otherwise they look fantastic :thumbsup:
:satisfied:
I think they look awesome as they are :thumbsup: They fit in so well with the other cemtery lots and those trees. Great work Jeronij
these look great jeronij. They can be useful for loads of things, not just cemeteries
Looks really great, jeronij! :thumbsup:
But where do you get these cemetery-lots ?¿
wow these are awesome and i agree i would be having lots of uses for these in my cj thankyou so much &apls :thumbsup:
Hello to all, I am glad you like them :thumbsup:
I cant see the pink colour anywhere ( maybe my monitor configuration), but I dont mind to make a darker version. No problem.
I also have to see how to pack them, because I made some cemetery lots with them, but as you say, there could be many other uses for them...and lots are so personal....give me some time ;)
Hello again,
I have just noticed a "file traffic over" image instead my previous images, it seems imagehosting.us is not so good as imageshack. Well, I have reserved some minutes to re-render the walls and make two sets. The "pinky" ones, and the new ones, more "stone-looking".

I am not sure about how to release this. Two sets (one cemetery and one not) for each walls version perhaps...Your opinions are welcome !!!.
wow they are awesome yes i agree with you &apls
I like the new one better, it's not so clean, looks a bit more weared out. But both are great :thumbsup:
The new look version is great. :thumbsup:
It looks more weathered, as if it has been there for years instead of just been built "last year".
still its another excellent job
kettle's boiling
:satisfied:
I agree, it looks better, it looks older and dirtier. The gate looks really cool too :thumbsup: Great work Jeronij
:thumbsup:I like both . Stunning job you done .
Looks good. Any version will do for me :)
Excellent walls! They are looking great!
Hello to all,
I had some time this afternoon to play a bit more with the walls. I wanted to try them in slopes. They were already designed to support a moderate slope, but I wanted them to support more ;D
Circled in red you can see how the first version did not fit when the slope was moderated
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg362.imageshack.us%2Fimg362%2F7494%2Fwallsv2slopeconf03pg1.jpg&hash=662bedecede4ebe34c5b01e549bcfe420c0d74d8)
The new version I BATted this afternoon seems to be more slope tolerant.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg362.imageshack.us%2Fimg362%2F1024%2Fwallsv2slopeconf01qm0.jpg&hash=693fb5b39ef41e3ead8a0790c9449ef89713c517)
They are not as tolerant as a texture, or as a multi-part walls, but quite enough for now.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg362.imageshack.us%2Fimg362%2F8761%2Fwallsv2slopeconf02we8.jpg&hash=834bd955505216c1a7ebeae8398410b1ea91c062)
I hope you like the improvements. I am going to pack them and release them as soon as possible ;)
Jeroni
They look superb. :thumbsup:
I wish I could do this sort of stuff. &mmm
I look forward to their release and hope I can display them in a fitting fashion ::)
:satisfied:
I really like this. Thouse walls cold be used to wall in residential areas aswell. That's how i will use them :)
awesome slope conforming as well excellent work,i cant wait for these &apls :thumbsup:
Great work Jero, I'll have plenty of oportunities to use them. Not long ago, I asked someone to build those kind of walls at Simtropolis. I'm glad finaly someone really did them, specially if they are slope conformed. ;)
These look great Jeroni. These will be much more useful with slope conforming :thumbsup:
I like it ... maybe a DAT with all the models in and distribute that with your cemetary lot.
Looking good and the slope friendly aspect is going to make them extremely versatile, as well as popular. One small request, but tell me to bugger off if it's a big deal, but some wall pieces set at a 45º angle would be really valuable.
Hi, thanks for the nice compliments and suggestions. I am glad you like the models and the slope tolerancy as well ;D
callagrafx, I understand what you mean ( I am a "SC4 diagonallity" friend ;). The thing is that making diagonal pieces would need.....lets see.....one..two...three....mmmm....I think at least three additional pieces....mmmm....I´ll study it, but maybe as a complement to this first release... I´ll keep you informed ;D
Looks great :thumbsup:
Very impressive Jeronij. I am glad you read the Show us your cemetary section.....
I prefer the pinkish one (although I do not think they are too pinkish). The other one is just too green and to clean.
The slped version is awsome. You are a true master.
I just hope the texture of the entrance will be different, somewhat more like your curfews (in the pics of 16th December you see the differences).

I like these a lot. These walls are actually the same as those which line our inner - city laneways, so I very much look forward to their release &apls
Hello to all,
thanks for the nice feedback :thumbsup:
I have finally decided to make a complete set of walls. There will be 16 lots per set. There are 13 ready actually.
Warm version
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg301.imageshack.us%2Fimg301%2F9660%2F2112wallpieces01vp0.jpg&hash=0753d084b7fea9155b4dc6e4bf6b5f96b56dc341)
Cold version

The missing pieces:
Diagonal End
Underbridge 2x
Underbridge 3x
I hope you will find the improvements useful ;)
Great set !
If you do not mind, can you study the fact you add a 'broken' straight piece ? with a pile of stones where the hole is.
&apls
These are looking better all the time. :thumbsup:
You have done another fantastic job and the extra lots really complete the set. Can't wait for these to be released.
You deserve a cuppa :thumbsup:
:satisfied:
Fantastic work, jeronij!
Looks great :D When can we except the release?
&hlp thank you thank you thank you thank you...TTC, he deserves more than a cuppa...drop some Midleton into it :thumbsup:
beautifull work thankyou so much &apls :thumbsup:

LOL yes he does but I don't keep Alcohol in the house sorry.
( too much of a temptation for me &mmm)
:satisfied:
These look amazing Jeronij! I have the perfect spot for them in my new city i'm building ;)
hello again,
RL is normally quite busy, but if you are trying to manage a web site for the first time in your life...well...the thing is that I finally found the time to complete the set. The final number of pieces are 17 ??? . Waht :-[ ?¿ . 17 #?¿?¿?$ ?¿ . Well, callagrafx was the one who suggested some diagonal pieces, not me $%Grinno$% !!!
These are the two final versions:
Warm version
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/images/jrj/2212%20Wall%20pieces%2001.jpg)
Cold version
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/images/jrj/2212%20Wall%20pieces%2002.jpg)
And some testing I decided to make yesterday just to see that all the pieces fit correctly.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/images/jrj/2212%20Wall%20pieces%2004.jpg)
Probably some sort of menu activator for this set would be necessary, who wants 17 new icons in the park menu actually ;) ?¿, but I dont have the knowledge to do this myself. Some help would be needed if somebody can.
I have to tweak the lots, make and assign the icons and pack the whole thing. Since these days I will be quite busy, I can not say a release date, but I am almost sure that this will happen before 2007 ;D
Oh, and a BIG THANKS to all for the pleasant feedback :thumbsup: . Making custom stuff for such a great community is also MY pleasure ;D
wow thankyou these are wonderfull i can think of a lot of things i would like to use them for,beautifull work jeronij

Well, as the chap who's face is my avatar once said, "I can resist everything except temptation'...but good for you.
Those are gorgeous walls, Jeronij.
Thanks for creating them.
I think they could be used as park walls as well as cemetery walls.
A great set!
Fantastic job you have done there &apls &apls!!
Great pictures!
I sure wish I had the talent to do that.
I think my modding days have long past me by. :(
All I can say is thank you very much. I think they will be very useful for everyone. Keep um comming! &hlp

These looks awesome! I look forward to seeing more :thumbsup:
Do you know what. As I looked at these walls again and I thought, why not use the walls to enclose an English type farm. You know like the hedge rows or stone walls you find scattered around some English/Scottish type farms. I can't see if they still have the little stone ball on the prior posts. That might be a problem if it's still there. If so I bet you could hid it with a tree.
Just a thought..
Another impressive update, &apls
just like always :thumbsup:
Well done that man :D
:satisfied:
wow! Very pretty, I could certainly use those in a British city!
Hello to all, I am glad to announce that I finally was able to finish and pack the set &dance. Dont expect awesome icons for them $%Grinno$%
You can download everything in the exchange right now ;D
Feel free to post your feedback here ( specially good feedback :D :D )
keithsed , you can now edit them in the Lot Editor the way you need ;) . But be very careful and try to not move the walls itself, or you may have trouble with the joints, later in the game ::)
Thanks for uploading them!
&apls I just check them in the game , and they look great . Thanks for this nice add.
wow awesome thankyou for your great work :thumbsup:
They look fantastic jeroni. How do you do this? How do you find time for all these???? I won't download because they won't fit anywhere in my cities (mainly urban), but if going to play rural, I will try them definately, as the look realy very good!
Sorry for the extra work, but as always you've delivered an amazing and extremely useful/versatile set, thank you.
Woohoo :thumbsup: I have the perfect spot for them in my cities ;D
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Thank you for sharing this file with us Jeronij (and that on 25th of December :wings:)
Now we wait for the first entry in the Show us your...cemetary section.

Coming soon.... I have a nice one #stsfd· ....
These walls look astonishing in-game. Something like this was well overdue till now. Thank you very much. Keep up the amazing work!
Woooow I love this set! I will try to use it in my cities... Shouldn't be hard ;)
Now all we need is some old stonework Walls like your Concrete .... I use them so much that I am running out of choices :-\
Do you mean textures instead props ?¿
Why is this thread called "Rural Cemetary Walls and addons"?
(where are the addons?)
(just a question)
Good question bat.....the addons are to come ;D
Jeronij,
Your walls are very nice, maybe an add-on could be plopable headstones, which would work like your garbage plop does. Then we could place some paths, your walls and then fill the space with random headstones to make our cemetaries.
Thanks.
Good idea, the thing is the we can not control actually the direction the props face when ploping using the mayor mode....so the I am not sure if that would work fine...I'll think about this ;)
Thanks for considering the idea jeronij :thumbsup: I think many of the historical cemetaries I have been in have a less uniform headstone direction anyway...
A quick question about this great set... (and I haven't tried it out, I just thought of something that may be problematic...)
If we alter these lots in the LE (for example, I thinking of switching these in to my Alabaster Garden's city in my CJ and I want to make them more gardeny, if that makes any sense...) will the transparent base textures still work, or will I need to place a base texture? I seem to remember in the past, when I've tried to modify lots with transparent textures, it hasn't allowed me to save without the base texture... perhaps this has been changed and I just wasn't aware, though!
Keep up the great work, can't wait to see some of the "addons" when you've got the time!
These wals are soooo gorgeus! They look simply wonderful! Great job! &apls
I like both, if you forced me I would go for the new ones, they don't look brand new which is great but they have that maintained look about them, if that makes any sense.
So ok the new walls :thumbsup:
Yay! %BUd% A new toy! They are cool and works great in the game.
Thanks!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
