Great job on the NTA Modern Buses! They're awesome

[Brenda_Xne 46]

Thank you for all your great comments!!

Today I uploaded a remake of my first ever station. I re-textured it long time ago but I forgot to release it =P I hope you like the new look with shiny steel

The progress on the new station has been slow. Here is a render with more work on the roof and a modification to the platform similar to what Andreas suggested.

I decided not to round the platform because I think that it looks better squareish. I tried to give it a look similar to the HSR tracks. The platform end doesn't have a texture because I extended the platform to do the in-game test.

I don't think my station blends well with the look of the HSR tracks x.x and on top of that I have this problem too:

The HSR tracks are wider than I though =O I'm going to have to work more on the platform's design x.x

[Andreas Roth 614]

Nice idea with the platform "slot" - looks even better than my suggestion. It's also good to see that the roof doesn't fload in mid-air anymore, and I'm sure you'll manage to adapt the platforms to the HSR tracks better.

Thank you Andreas for the feedback

Today's update:

I'm still not happy with the transition from the HSR tracks to my new station. I don't know if I should try to use the HSR textures instead.

Here is the render in HD

As you can see I played a little bit with the platform's shape and changed some textures and colors. The roof still needs work and I need to add more details to the station as well.

[Andreas Roth 614]

What transition are you talking about? The HSR tracks itself look pretty good, the only thing that looks odd is that the shadow is cut off at the right side because shadows can't be casted on network props (I think). However, this might get better once the roof gets proper transparency (I'm not entirely sure about this, though). One thing that is missing is the catenaries. From what I can see, the HSR models have "built-in" catenaries including wires, but you haven't added them to your station so far, this is probably another reason why it still looks odd. And finally, if you'd make the platform texture more blue-ish instead of that beige tone, it might fit into the current HSR models better.

I hope you like the updates

You don't know how glad I am by seeing this station over road prototype! Very good job!

Just 2 questions (one seems to have an obvious answer, and the other is just curiosity of mine):

1. Will it include bus and subway stop?

2. Do you plan to make it over a road crossing (like Madison-Wells and Ashland stations)?

Many thanks in advance and congrats!

It saddens me to see how much unfinished business has been left here  Is Brenda_Xne ever coming back? Or will anyone else finish her great work? 

[Brenda_Xne 46]

Today to my surprise I got an email that somebody posted a comment on my profile here in Simtropolis. It's been so long since I last came here that I didn't know we had profiles like these. The new site looks really good and it is amazing to see the SC4 community still strong. I feel bad that after all these years people still want the finished station... I would have liked to finish it but the file was lost on a hard drive crash with most of my other personal files I'm really sorry but I don't think I can finish the station.

I miss playing SC and I hope to one day have the time to BAT again.

[harishna 847]

Well the tools are there and you have the knowledge

[Amthaak 1,501]

Hi Brenda! Sad news you have no time to bat again , you really made amazing job with your stations, I hope you'll change your mind!

[coldrifting 30]

Man, that sucks. Well, the buses are great, and maybe you could modify them to get something close to the school bus you were working on. It looked great.

[Ceafus 88 1,827]

I've lost many files like you did, and it just isn't no fun, i'm sad that you can't BAT much at all any more, cause your creations where really truely amazing,

I know that Brenda probably isn't here any more, I was wondering if anyone else had problems with her mods.

2 of her mods, the Modern Subway v.2 and the MEBSP Station, give me a glitch when I plant them of maxing out their capacity at 8 and 1 respectively.

The other mods don't seem to be affected.

I'm running NAM, could the multipliers be affecting the mods somehow?

You by any chance happen to be playing SC4 on a Mac?
