Adding Textures to Rail Curves (Tutorial / Assistance Request)

[M4346]

I was hoping if anyone would be so kind as to either point me to a tutorial or assist me in doing this. I would like to add textures to these curves (as has been done with the Road and Avenue curves) because I hate how they don't blend in and would really appreciate assistance of whatever form in this regard.

Thank you very much in advance,

M

It all depends on if you don't mind them being blocky...I already did NOB.

I was hoping they'd be blocky however, I am using the SFBT grass texture.

(By the way, thanks for your work on the Avenue and Road curves, I love and use them only because they have the SMP Sandstone texture!  )

[sithlrd98]

No problem! Thanks! Just to make sure were on the same page, whats the texture ID #?

Jayson

[M4346]

I stand to be corrected, but I just checked it and believe it is 0x251c1000.

Andreas would perhaps know better

Alright,let me find it and I can throw something together! Shouldn't take too long to do.

That would really be appreciated! Thanks! 

Let me know if I can be of any help!

I thought that IID looked odd for SFBT....its a Maxis texture. Are you sure that's the one?

The only "SFBT Grass Texture" that I am aware of is a texture that I used on the SFBT Garbage Shipping Yard, but that one was created by PEG a very long time ago, if I'm not mistaken. I think I got it from Jan (Swamper77) back then when I was creating the lot, since I was looking for a grass texture that blends well with the Maxis terrain. Needless to say, this one has a completely different ID, and the one Jayson mentioned is indeed a Maxis texture.

[sithlrd98]

I'm wondering if you are actually looking for 0x35EA4150? That is actually a BSC texture(vol.2) , but it is used on the SFBT Railway Set Freight Car Sidings.

Let me know!

I saw a number of textures that look the same, but that one was used on the SFBT cantanery lots. I think they're all the same but will have to confirm with Andreas.

[Andreas]

The SFBT catenary lots have transparent base textures, not sure what you're talking about here.

Doh! that's correct! LOL! I am sorry! I added that texture myself and have completely forgotten about that! 

I know that they match - in my view anyway - but I would naturally suggest that you listen to Andreas' recommendation in this regard

Thanks for clarifying Andreas! And sorry for the confusion! 

[sithlrd98]

Well,I'm still confused! Do you want them done in the Maxis grass or is there another texture?

Jayson

Jayson

Sorry for the confusion, but as stated, I believe it best to use the SFBT texture used on the railyard lots.

I really apologise for the inconvenience.

[sithlrd98]

No problem! I should have them to you sometime this weekend...don't have a lot of modding time right now.

Since I'm already gonna be in Photoshop....does anyone else have any requests?

Jayson

[sithlrd98]

Just to be absolutely sure...is the texture you want?



This is 0x35EA4150 from BSC texture(vol.2).

Jayson

[M4346]

Yeah, that's it. 

Thanks again for the effort!
