Diagonal Jagged Edges Mod

 

This mod fixes the jagged edges that appear on half of the diagonals in the game making sunken highways look very ugly when turning the "wrong way". When using this mod the game will show more cliffs than it usually does so be careful with your slopes. What the mod really does is force the game to regard more tiles as cliffs since they are sloped correctly on all the diagonals. In the screenshots the height difference is 15m. If anyone thinks the mod is to/not enough radical You can pm me and I'll show you how to alter the value. All the credits of this mod goes to Jeronij who found out what to edit to make the edges go away. I strongly recommend using some walls with this mod.

 

Included files:

Maxis_DiagonalFix: Use this if you have no custom terrain installed.

CP_DiagonalFix_STANDARD: Use this if you have Cycledoggs standard terrain.

CP_DiagonalFix_SNOWCAPPED: Use this if you have Cycledoggs snowcapped terrain.

CP_DiagonalFix_SNOWCAPPED_LOW: Use this if you have Cycledoggs snowcapped low terrain.

CP_DiagonalFix_SNOWCAPPED_LOWER: Use this if you have Cycledoggs snowcapped lower terrain.

 

How to use this mod:

Maxis_DiagonalFix: Put this file in your plugins folder.

CP_DiagonalFix_: Put the file suitable for your terrain where the TerrainParameters file is located. Then move that file out of the plugins folder.

 

Dependencies:

None of course :)

 

If anyone has a terrain mod not included in this pack just make a post in the support thread and I'll include that one too. Post any questions there aswell. Again credits to Jeronij!

great idea! Very handy! the only problem is I don't want that much cliff textures showing, but can you use this, then uninstall it and still keep the clean cliffs it made? Thanks.

chocolatemax285: Nopes, this mod alters the terrain parameters file. That's the file that tells the game how to render the terrain, which textures and such.. So if you take it away I'm afraid the jagged edges will still be there. However if you pm me I can tell you how to easen

Whoa, I thought jeronij was working on this mod? This should take some of the workload off him somewhat [he won't mind, I hope]

So couldn't one change the cliff texture files to the normal texture (MAXIS, Cycledogg, whoever else's) and get the non-jaggedness without cliffs altogether?

Perfect ! Finally a remedy against that horrid slopes, this way all the walls will line up nicely instead of looking as if they swing. perfect !

brtim2: you sure could but the ground textures are different at different altitudes and the cliff textures aren't. Also you wouldn't see any cliff at all. But it's very doable indeed :)

I think this has to be one of the best innovations for the game! Finally we can get rid of those nasty jagged edges! This is a definite 10/10 from me!
