Additional SAM textures - Nominations open

[Diggis]

The GLR isn't RUL'd yet so you won't be able to check them.  I hope to make jason do it in the next month or so.

[gn_leugim]

and heavy rails? are ruled? those I made already

[Diggis]

Yes they are.

Uh, not sure if all of the slots are spoken for yet, but I only have limited time on the internet for now, so I can't read every page.  Anyway, I would like to suggest the concrete texture PEG is using in his CDK-3 lots. It would be extremely usefull and look much better not to have a street running between them, but rather have them blend in. It's a concept I thought might be useful; having networks that don't look like networks. In busy seaports, there's places with no road markings, but people drive them anyway.

So... uhhhh... 

I know this thread is kinda deadish... but, well I was hoing some of the wonderful textures that were started here have atleast had some progress done on them.  It would be a shame if none of these ever got put into the SAM, but its too much little old work for myself and Diggis to do all the artist work when we could be doing so many other cool things.

For those who are stuck in one way, shape or another, please send me a PM and I will give some advice, help, etc.

I sure am stuck, but it's because my laptop died, and all my SAM texture set data is on it... However, the hard drive is not damaged so whenever I can get an adapter to put a laptop hard drive in a desktop computer I'll be on my way to making a SAM set. Of course someone could also use the early development set I attached to a post earlier on and continue for me with your own work...

[gn_leugim]

my main issue is time.. I made some more textures from last time.. but the set is no completed yet.. 

[gn_leugim]

I've done some progress ^^



I've also made the rails..

[Diggis]

Very nice.

[sithlrd98]

Great to see you finally have some  free time Carlos!!

[gn_leugim]

  the free time isn't that much unfortunately.. colege take me all my time away  as you may saw at ST, I've stopped bating already too    after these, I go to the transitions

[gn_leugim]

here are the heavy rails.. some aren't RULed yet though..

[Diggis]

Yeah they should be... 

[jplumbley]

Since I have started developement on SAM up again I am posting to bump this thread.  Its been a while since this thread had any posts and it will be easier for everyone to find this thread again to check out the texture sets that may be included in the next version of SAM.

As always, any suggestions are very welcome for new sets.  But, please be prepared to be able to create the textures yourself.  I definitely do not have time to do them and I cannot create anything from scratch.  I am working with a base set of textures from other users, as always and simply just expanding on their base to be a complete SAM set.

Probably too late, but I'm going to request a Euro-styled street texture with bicycle tracks, like you find in Amsterdam and Copenhagen.

Some of their streets have asphalt streets with a brick line separating the cycle track, with brick/cobble/concrete sidewalks.

Like so:

Additionally, for the T-RAM textures, the light rail should be in cobble/brick.  Like so:

(ok, this isn't in Europe, but Portland.  But you get the idea...)

Other streets have the cycle track separated from the street/road/avenue by a greenway:

Haven't you posted this before... 

This isn't a thread for requests, this is a thread for people who want to make their own set.

Cycleways are problematic largely because the game doesn't actually recognise bikes as a seperate transport option.

[j-dub]

Since this is brought up here, I am going to say any concept of that may not be possible, since it would appear bicycles are a transportation method all together. I have not seen Sims riding bicycles around in this game, except for the MySims, who will go on the roads, or ped-malls. Bike Lanes in Roads would be nice, but since this game was not made with working bicycles to begin with, can't have a network without the transportation.

[nerdly_dood]

Okay so it's been quite a while since i've done much of anything with my cracked asphalt street mod but I've restarted work on it. But although I still have the textures done in PNG form, I must still restart a new DAT file - meaning that the one available now will soon be overwritten.

I hope to have something complete soon. But to even start I would like to know what SAM IID ranges are still available. (If none are available yet I'll be replacing the Herringbone streets)
