Turning Lanes - Feedback and Testing

[gstommylee 6]

that beacause the paths aren't done yet which is stated in the readme. since this is an expansion to the ave its taking a few seconds to draw the new texture. Thats what i think

anyways be patient there will be a update to the dat with the paths soon.

Hey-- I've got an idea! Instead of using the overhaed pole, you could use the regular Rush Hour road traffic light! It might fit on the tiny median, but it might not... Just an idea.

the US turn

lanes looked good
the only problems were that it took along time to draw
and the textures were dark everything else is good


the US would look more realistic if the were a little more like:


by the way the avenue wealth and density textures no longer change across an intersection

When will it be released, also ca someone see about making a British Traffic Light change set, I am a bit annoyed about the lights being on the wrong side

MAYBE this subject SHOULD have its own thread - coz i do believe it is a bug with Rush Hour and either affects all UK or all left-drive versions of the game.. unless someone can show me a left-drive version of the game's screenshot, WITH avenue traffic lights nn the left and not right-drive side

either way, i think it does definitely need a patch or mod to fix it (if possible) but hmm blame Maxis if it cant be fixed


lakeyboy - no extra paths or RULes would need to be made for your australian texture - i would just need to supply the texture DAT file and it would use the left-drive RULes and paths.. but maybe you need to ask them nicely plus id be patient, as said before i suppose its more important to have ONE left-drive and ONE right-drive version first of all

[Ryan B 35]

I agree w/ sjh.  That looks a lot more realistic for the USA.  Just don't forget to add the only in there!

[Thalassicus 33]

The problem is that the diagonal lines don't fit in with the rest of the avenue textures...they all have a median rather than stripes. IF someone is willing to change all the avenue median textures to center turn lanes and remove all props and redo the wealth levels it would look ok, but it would probably be best/faster just to make the turn lanes with a median

[gstommylee 6]

well i think they are fine as they are.

btw none of us seen what it looks like with the cars driving on it yet since the paths aren't done yet

[sjh123 0]

just have the median end where the strips begin
or fill in the strips on the current texture with a concrete texture
because it looks out of place with concrete curbs around stripped asphalt

[edcase2k4-thugangel1983 1]

sjh it would take a slight alteration of my textures to achieve what you are talking about..

you are talking about removing the kerb effect which was basically a perfect match to the in-game kerb that appears on both sides of one direction of an avenue

there kerbing would end before the turning lane texture tile - where the grass or other central reservation median ends

so id need to remove the kerb effect that appears along the striped median - and between the turning lane and other direction of traffic

i suppose it wont take long to make them small changes, it will look more realistic

well, hopefully i will have new textures for both the Crossroad and T-intersections uploaded for this mod tonight, once they are added it should remove the problems with it being darker on the USA version, and make minor improvements like yours

[dudyconstructor 40]

WOW nice job! thats great! cant wait to have it working on my SC4

[dominohobbes 27]

Which surprise? I see 2 surprises.

 

1. There are cars using the left turn lane

2. There are unemployment zots all over the place, which might mean the intersections don't work properly

[gstommylee 6]

oh the umemployment is caused by the commerial having a no car zot caused by the incomplete intersections

[dominohobbes 27]

Ok. That's great that cars can drive on the intersections now, I can't wait for this to be finished, but I imagine it'll be awhile.

[clindhartsen 5]

Wow! That looks awsome! The cars on the turn lanes, the turn lanes period. It looks utterly amazing!

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

WOW That is wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

[Andreas Roth 607]

Your pic looks a bit distorted, but nevertheless seeing the new turning lanes in action is even more exciting than looking at those texture files. Great work!

[gstommylee 6]

nevermind about the screenshot pic

[Seniorgriller 0]

I like the screen shot with the turn lanes!

When are this going to be completed?

[1dera3 28]

Copy your file for that pic, and GIVE IT TO ME!!

[Seniorgriller 0]

Again, I ask: When will this turning lane mod be avaliable?

You should think about a traffic light mod that changes the style of the traffic lights to horizontal bar or wire ones instead of the post style. Also the new traffic lights could have left hand turn lights. I assume that would be difficult to configure, but it is just a thought.

[gstommylee 6]

It will be out when its out

[Seniorgriller 0]

Will it be done by the end of this year?

What do you think about the traffic lights?

here is teaser #4

@craig

canada drives on the right

[BackRoads 0]

This is odd but... the last release worked fine for me. But I removed that and downloaded and installed this newest release just like you said and there are no turning lanes at all! What happened?
