Updated Asphalt Highway Textures  1.0

About This File

This package contains a variety of updates for Throvin’s Asphalt Highway Texture mod which helps to make it more compatible with the NAM and other downloads lurking in your plugins folder.

Since the mod’s release, various new pieces for the Maxis Highway (MHW) network have been added by the NAM team and do not contain an asphalt texture. They will remain concrete-based while the rest of the highway is asphalt-based.

An alternative is to use Mandelsoft’s Highway Restyling (HRS) mod, but some still like the grey look of Thorvin’s textures on our highway network.

 

The screenshots displayed show compatibility with various components

-Screenshot 1: Pieces fully compatible and textured for the NAM

-Screenshot 2: Textured base Maxis highway network pieces

-Screenshot 3: Pieces fully compatible and but not properly textured for the NAM

 

Dependencies:

This mod has only one dependency file, and that is the Asphalt Highway Texture by Thorvin

 

Credits:

-Euro Highway Texture replacements by Thorvin

-Highway Signs remover by Mandelsoft

-On-Slope connection texture by OnlyPlace4

-Diagonal ramp pieces by Warrior

-Updated Asphalt Highway Textures by Samerton

-Packaging and documentation by Haljackey

 

If you have any questions regarding the mod, post below for support.

 

Enjoy!

Really nice work, although I have to admit the only reason I've never used the old Asphalt retexture mod is because the interchanges in pic three still have patches of the old concrete which really sticks out like a sore thumb in my cities. Would love to see an updated version of this mod that takes care of that problem.

This update patches nearly all of the NAM interchange pieces. Think of the ones that aren't fully textured as your city slacking off on repaving jobs :P

Those are the NAM interchange pieces for the Maxis Highway. Do you have the NAM installed? If you do they're found in various ramp menus. Press TAB until you find them.

I never got the original mod to work. The asphalt only shows up on on-ramps.

Will this mod fix that?

It should. If not let me know and I'll see what the issue may be.

Two possible solutions:
-If you have the Highway Restyling mod or another highway texture mod, remove them.
-Add a "z" to the front of the files in this package so they load after everything else. That will help override any possible conflicts.

Hope these suggestions help!

Great mod. I think it makes my highways look more realistic in a way, despite some areas not being textured, but I think it's okay.

Haljackey or someone, please help me for one question. I see on the screenshots of this mod some yummy ramps and smooth curves for Maxis highways - I wanna them both! :) I have already installed NAM 31.1, but there are no ramps and no curves... Only have two ramps (cloverleaf and one T-interchange - they are maxis original if I'm not mistaken) and "custom interchanges" menu, but it's empty!  And smooth curves... I found curves for anythig - for roads, rails, RHWs, avenus, monorail.. But no curves for maxis highways. Nowhere.

What am I doing wrong?

issue has been resolved - NAM 31.2 re-enable custom interchanges and curves for MHW... I already afraid the future NAM 31.3 :)
