About This File

Traffic Light Replacement Mod (TLRM)
Version 1.0
By Blue Lightning


 
This mod replaces most of the traffic lights in your game, aside from diagonal lights (will come later).
These traffic lights are fully animated and function exactly like the Maxis lights, making this mod the first to be functionally animated.
All orthogonal traffic lights are replaced, including those on the NWM and TuLEP.

INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS (IMPORTANT!):


Extract the folder "zz_Traffic Light Replacement Mod" and only that folder into [My] Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins.
DO NOT MOVE THE FOLDER FROM THIS LOCATION (The file "TLRM v1.dat" should be located at [My] Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\zz_Traffic Light Replacement Mod)

Do NOT DatPack this, it is already condensed into a single dat, and changing it's location or name will result in issues.


COMPATIBILITY

This mod should be compatible with any other mod, and is LHD compatible. The traffic lights will go wherever the Maxis lights can go.

FAQ:

Q: Are these signals properly animated, ie they turn red and the cars stop?
A: Yes, these are properly animated, thanks to a process that Blue Lightning (the creator of this upload) developed.

Q: Why do the backs of the signal bleed past the suppport arm?
A: This is due to how the game renders traffic lights, and it occurs with the Maxis lights as well.

Q: What about other styled traffic lights? Horizontally mounted ones?
A: These may come later, or you may create them yourself.

Ugh, is it so hard to understand? This mod is compatible with the HBS HD Traffic Lights mod! Theres a difference between a pole and a traffic light you know >.> And there are no dependencies.

Nice mod. Although my only comment is the fact that traffic lights on poles are placed on the opposite side of the intersection from where the car is stopped. This is so if you are the first car in line, you dont have to lean forward with your head over the wheel to see the lights change.

I like he couler of the whole light(black). The lights also stand out very nicely against the black of the background which, if it was in real life, makes it safer. Also they look more realistic than the maxis origanal one's.

these lights don't move to the left hand side in lhd, so not really LHD compatible.

Yeah, it does nothing with LHD, but there isn't too much else wrong I can see with this. Nice work.

How do you create a similar mod?

Step 1, you need to be able to BAT new traffic lights.

Step 2, you need to edit a bunch of T21 files, these attach props to transport networks.

Step 3, make the props animated.

If you've not done these things before, there is a steep learning curve. But plenty of tutorials exist for Step 1 & 2, I'm sure someone would be able to help with the animation if you get that far.
