Avenue Roundabouts Development Thread

Whenever I try to ma--m- a CHOO! damn allergies

whenever i try to make a road roundabout with a one way road coming to to tiles ans going from two tiles, it just turns into what it would look like if i didnt have the nam.

where did that come from ?

I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about. Maybe you could post a picture of the situation.

[nerdly_dood 26]

it just turns into four road/road/1wayrd. T intersections REALLY close together.

Heres an avenue roundabout in Bunbury. It would be great if someone could Tranist enable one like this

As suggested by haljackey i will post an idea that i got from the current NAM (June 07)

I have very little idea about creating puzzle pieces or what ever is needed, so if someone could help me or modd it themselves i would be very grateful.

Since posting this in the NAM forum i wondered if it would be possible to have an avenue roundabout under elevated highway, I know these are quite common in England. like this, I edited it slightly so it doesn't look quite right/

My post from the NAM requests.

I was thinking about an avenue roundabout with GLR in it kind of like these.

Yeah, they're very common... along with over motorway Roundabout's as well... but I dunno how you'd pull that one off...

@warrior: Looking good so far! The main reason for "missing" pieces in the NAM is due to the fact that there's nobody who is designing the models or textures. The NAM team has some very talented modders, but usually, they aren't that good with modelling or texturing.

[warrior 169]

Well the textures in the NAM so far have been very good and im sure they will continue to be.

Im stuck with paint so thats as much as i could do and I just want to know if someone could edit and make it look better.

I've already posted somewhere that I wanted to create such avenue roundabouts with GLR. (Unfortunately, I haven't had enough time before the new NAM release and I probably won't be able to spend much time for SC until July.) For that very purpose I modded the avenue roundabouts in a particular way, so that it will definitively be feasible. However, I think I already have some of the necessary textures, but I'd be glad to send them to you, so that you can create those textures, if you'd like to. At the moment it appears to be only C&P, but it would be best, if the radius would be the same as the on of the GLR-Avenue puzzle pieces. If so one can re-use the paths and save time and effort. BTW, did you request those roundabouts or did you offer to create them? Edit: Just forget the last.

[warrior 169]

What textures do you have know and what textures need to be made?

[memo 1,446]

Well, I just looked it up and it seems I (only) have an overlay texture of a wider GLR curve. This could be positioned above the grass and rotated etc... The missing texture is where the GLR enters the roundabout and crosses the avenue.

[warrior 169]

If you could send it to me i would much appreciate it and then i could have a go at making the textures.

About the GLR entering the Roundabout could I not just put straight lines over the roundabout and not have any road markings as wouldn't the trams wait for the cars (at least in RL)?

EDIT: does anyone know where I can get the model of a highway piece, this may seem totally irrelevant to this topic but if what might work, works it won't be.

---

EDIT2: I was wondering if a series of puzzle pieces could be made for avenue roundabout under el-highway. I have got a very very basic idea of what a puzzle piece would be like that connect to the elevated highway. I will post an image but imageshack isn't working for some reason.

Avenue roundabouts...ummm???

Bad thing I can't get the Avenue roundabout to work properly...

[warrior 169]

The Avenue Roundabouts are plopable unlike road, street, OWR.

Do you mean those models to be fillers?

[Andreas Roth 607]

Looks nice! However, the steps are a bit pointless. There's no way that the sims could pass the two lanes of the avenue roundabout safely. Maybe you could create some openings for pedestrian underpasses instead, similar to what Glenni has created?

[Citymax 24]

Is possible to create a roundabout like Perpignan ?

thank you ! (I hope ,it's the proper topic )(sorry for my bad English says !)

I realize this is from about a year ago and technically isn't "realistic..." because people wouldn't be able to cross the roundabout, I still think this is really, really cool!  SimCity is so much more than realism... and this would enhance a commercial area, just by the aesthetics.
