Transit Network To-Do-List: (May 8th 2011)

- designing and replacing new avenue textures

- designing and replacing new oneway road textures

- street road textures need to be made alpha maps

- some road tiles still not replaced and need to be created

- designing, batting and modding maglev to replace monorail

- designing, batting and modding suspended monorail

- transforming the HSRP Beta to replace elv. rail

- creating a SimMars NAM

These were the street textures I  was working on:

It didn't work out though. Street textures can't have a direction on it (like the arrows in the pic) because the game mirrors textures at some points and that messes up the whole thing.

I turned to a texture based on Sarg's design:

To be finished yet.

[Evil_Someone 1]

these will look great, but you will need new vehicles

[arian2005 0]

i got 2 new vehicles one like good for mars and the 2nd one is good for plains(got wings)

[AndisArt 2,066]

Can you post a pic?

[justintime 8]

Will this work?

[ilikehotdogsalot 307]

Woah, That's awesome! ^^^

[AndisArt 2,066]

@justintime: That looks interesting, what is it?

[Constantina 5]

Very urban. Good for radial tram routes that snake by motorways.

   Ave/GRL 3x4 Eyecandy lot.

[hamsterTK 93]

You could make glr just pavement with painted lines that guide the trams which would have rubber tires

Even today in 2006 steel rails are being made obsolete.. why would they have that on mars?

[Constantina 5]

hover cars, I suppose?

[Pixelrage 34]

mars would need dirt paths and rovers

With the wind there?? They'd be blown away.

For practicallity, they would most likely be heavy and robust. Probelly Half-Tracks or Full-Tracks, or having many axels.

[AtkinsSJ_ 7]

Wasn't it decided elsewhere that although the wind is fast, it's not very powerful, because of the thin air?

[Slye_Fox 1]

That was against structures rooted to the ground by heavy foundations.

We're talking about light vehihles that arn't connected to anything.

[AndisArt 2,066]

I don't think that the wind develops the needed power to push when it hits the surface of a vehicle, even if it is very fast. That's how I understand the wind situation on Mars. Some experts needed here to clarify.

[ilikehotdogsalot 307]

I'm no scientists, but the rovers that landed on mars weren't connected to anything and they weren't blown away.

They didn't hover.

Art of what Uptown Houston is going to look like soon(NOT MY)

Hope that you will use the street lights,and signs for props.

[hamsterTK 93]

Those are cool streetlights

and yeah...what road is that? either way, I hope the light rail extension happens

I don't know,but most of Uptown's avenues have been set up with them.

BTW,at crosswalk there archs,

and at avenue crossroads there are Halos insaid of signs.

P.S.I love my city.

[AtkinsSJ_ 7]

Justintime: Those traffic lights on the right of your last picture look pretty Sci-Fi. And the halo could work well, too.

[AndisArt 2,066]

Not really, at least definietly not yet. I have just come to almost finish the road textures, which took me quite a while. But we might need ANT inclusion in the future.

Those are nice streetlamps? Someone up for BATing them? *smile

[AndisArt 2,066]

An update on the road textures. I created 48 different texture tiles already, about 75% done.

[justintime 8]

Here some designs:


 

[AndisArt 2,066]

They look really good! If someone is up for BATing them that would be cool.

[ultiman 0]

Cool! Anyway how do you get BAT? (Sorry if it went of topic!)

[2ch.net simplayer 180]

It will be a big addition to Sim Mars, if this thing turns out functional....Aerotube Express (ATEX) 
It is just an eyecandy. I am not a LOTer..... Can this be MODed so that it functions as monorail??

Of course, Mars version will be orange than blue.

[Vanasonic 49]

Even if that can't be modded that looks so good. Especially the downward descent to the station and the overlapping areas. Nice work!
