Super Light Asphalt Mod 0.9.9

Very gritty...good for ghettoes.  Nice job Magneto!

 

Also nice to see a project update released in a timely fashion, rather than having it sit on someone's computer gathering dust for years, so close to being finished but never getting there because it's never shared with the community where someone else might be happy to pick it up....*coughcoughcoughcough* [/mini rant]

Nice. It totally changes the look of that city. I'll bet that it would look ideal in a dirty industrial city.

This is great! This is a much needed mod for SC4. :D

 

I hope different sidewalks can be done too. :)

Excellent ^_^

@Matt & Zeldafan: I believe you pointed out what is possibly wrong with the mod: the GLR tracks are looking too clean (IMO) when compared to the asphalt color. I felt it somehow, but I spent so much time editing the textures that I lost focus in the process. Guess I'll have to redesign it.

 

@RepublicMaster: Actually someone is working (or about to start doing so) on a model conversion that would separate the sidewalk of the network for the NAM puzzle piece, thus making the process of changing sidewalks much easier.

 

Now if only I could have feedback from someone who tried the mod...

@ Magneto, that someone would be me right?! :D I have to do some more research and then get in touch with you. ;)

This fits perfectly fine with Moonlinghts Mod. 5/5

good work magento! I've been attempting similar with paeng & atmoguy's mods (limited results so for personal use) but got to ask how you reskinned the elevated pieces as they're some of the only textures I can't find (if it's a trade secret I understand haha). Reason I ask is I'd like to work on my own texture mod from scratch & yours looks the most uniform that I've seen - I bet you see the ID numbers at night when you're trying to sleep after making this!

Outstanding mod! I've been wishing for urban-appropriate GLR, TIR & TIA textures for a long time. Bravo!

 

One thing though; I think the readme might be a little confusing. If I understand it correctly, it says the mod should ideally go in the z___nam folder. I got absolutely nothing when I did that (well, other than ML's mod). However, After moving it to the root folder & adding another z and a couple underscores to the mod's folder name, it all worked beautifully.

 

Thanks so much.

Nice work. Almost all NAM features I use have these sidewalks now. I especially like that the light rail station textures match those of the network too.

I found that the "Tram-in-Road -- Triangle with Tram-in-Avenue -- Tram-on-Pedmall" piece uses the same texture as the "Tram-in-Road -- Triangle with Tram-in-Avenue" piece.

I absolutely love this mod, but the one problem I have with this is that the "Tram in road" doesn't have the sandstone retexture like the rest of the city and some intersection tiles do.  Is it something that I did incorrect or is that supposed to happen or what?

Love this mod Magneto and I do hope you can get those unsupported stuff, supported as well someday.

 

Also I hope you can also include these GLR Stations from SFBT as well:

The basic Stations do get the Super Light Asphalt textures albeit the texture covers the entire stations' flooring as opposed to getting either a concrete or sandstone overlay for the actual tracks.

 

The Avenue Roundabout and the in Avenue stations don't get the textures though.

I can not thank you enough, finally I have a uniform sidewalk, even using LHD there is not a piece missing, once again you've solved something that's been bugging me for a long time. I really appreciate all the hard work it must have taken to make this happen.
