Additional SAM textures - Nominations open

[nerdly_dood]

i'll see what i can do about getting the other textures ready... there's nothing i hate more than a minor detail that looks bad, so i'll try to get the T intersections and curve/straight transitions myself, but don't bet on it.

If anyone has any suggestions about what i could do to change my streets to make them look better - like to change the yellow line to white to fit in a more European setting - just tell me and i'll do what i can to fix them to your preferences.  (And it's not necessary but it would help to have some PNGs of the SFBT Euro road mod so that you don't have yellow lines on the street/road or one-way road intersections and white ones everywhere else)

[Diggis]

The three sets that go into the default set will get added tno the main euro mod (either by Andreas, the creator or myself) and I'll try add euro over lays for the creation set.

i finished the 5 textures, and there they are 

i know that some has a small glinch, a pixel or 2 diference from each other, but that is easy to correct

[Diggis]

They look good.  If you follow Jason's Tutorial (link) you should be able to get them in game for a wee test.  Use the IID in the file name but replace the second x with a 1 so they replace the parking textures.

[gn_leugim]

allright, i'll try them out

That has to deal with the ALPHA maps on the textures.  We will get more into this later when we have more complete sets ready for full out testing. 

Where you see black in the in-game picture is where you will see grass once we deal with the wealth grasses for the textures.  Some of the sets here may require custom ALPHA maps but Diggis and I are willing to help out and teach how to make them so, dont worry too much about that right now.  Everything will come together.

so, no its time to pass to other textures? like intersections with roads and so?  :

[Diggis]

If you can wait till the weekend I'll try and release the full set of textures with an indepth tutorial on texture creation. 

[nerdly_dood]

I do like tutorials, especially in-depth ones... looking forward to it!

[gn_leugim]

allright i wait 

[Pat]

OK heres some news from me in what Ive been doing lately....



comments / suggestion / thoughts are welcomed!!!

[Diggis]

Looking good Pat! You need to work on the joints a little still.

[Pat]

OK kewl thanks Diggis I will try and see if I can seem it out lol    bad pun sorry lol

[Heblem]

I have some for candidacy, basing from maxis dirty textures and colonial red stone street, finally for streets one... hope you guys like this...

[j-dub]

Well Heblem, you certainly got alot going on already.

[Diggis]

Look great mate.  There are some kerb lines missing on the brick streets but I like it so far.

OK, I said once we released the SAM I would upload the Texture creation pack and open a poll.  So I will.

Can all people who have sets started for the SAM please post a single post per set showing the 5 variations (can you use image shack or photobucket rather than the upload here, makes it easier to quote  ) with a name for the set and a description of what you are trying to achieve if you want.

I will quote these in all new thread next weekend with a poll for the voting.  As we have so many quality candidates Jason and I will help out anyone whose set isn't chosen to finish them off and get them as a replacement option.  (of course we will also be helping those who win too.  )

Portuguese Cobblestone or Granite Cobblestone



well, as you can see, i tried to archive the kind of Cobblestones you can see in granitic areas, and mostly here in Portugal.. it gives not just a old style to streets, but also can be used in rural areas, historical and much more.. hope you like it 

[MandelSoft]

It looks beautiful, gn_leugim. I like the old style 

[Tolsome]

very nice  
but it would be better when there are no "white" at the edges.
