I'd like to see concrete roads, avenues, and one-ways as well; some cities go with concrete if you look at their arials on GoogleEarth. This is great though to see experimentation with pavement.

    So the new NAM was released, and I like the way it is organized. I took a look at the street roundabouts and this is what was done.

    As you can tell, the diaganol streets need to be done. And they will be my next step. But again I took a look at the new NAM, and I was shocked when I looked at the diagonal streets. Guess how many textures there are in that plugin? If you guessed is around 945 you are correct. It's a good thing that every view does not have to be retextured, so that equates to about 189 textures  to be darkened (there were only 9 for street roundabouts). And then there are the wealth levels which with cutting and pasting, should hopefully reduce that number to somewhere below 50. But that is still alot. So when I am finished with the diagonals, I think a lot will have been done, well atleast enough for an initial release. But we'll see.

    pepsi71ocean: I am basically just darkening the streets, it is a pretty simple process. The same thing can be done for avenues and roads and it will still be simple. It is just that there are so many textures. But anyways the best thing to do is look at Qurlix's tutorial that I posted earlier in this thread, and just try different things out...OK, there is no way of getting around this, I am going to have to release my street texturing secret. For me darkening the streets is a simple process of reducing the Red, Green, Blue color values. If you wanted to do the roads it would be the same thing, but just increasing values.

    @vgcpapa: Yeah, I can feel your pain... frimi created the entire diagonal street texture set, and all Euro Road textures, those are some 8,500 textures or so that needed to be processed. He still must have nightmares about this. 2.gif Anyway, the new textures look lovely, nice work on the roundabout as well! I'm really looking forward to try this mod.

    All the networks where I live are a bit lighter. It seems that the networks are too dark.

    If you 2 are asking when the SAM project will be released. A BETA version will be released when all partts have been brought together. No official date will be released but I have a timeframe in mind, again I will not devulge this information. You will have to keep up with the project at the link provided in my signature.

    Only a full release will be released on STEX or the Modds/Downloads Section, this way a BETA can be controlled. First, initial release may only be in the Project Thread.

    I will not reply here again because this is a dead project and not the place that SAM is being worked on.
