Trams!? That quite nice

Will there be actually tram-stops to put in streets?

[Andre090904 0]

Yup

[DazzaDazza 29]

Nice, trams,

it would be nice to see the trams in the middle of the road though......

@mrdazza: It should be possible to create an "exchange-tile" so that the tram can go on both tracks (on streets or seperate railtracks). As a consequence you could leave a small gap between two adjusted streets in order to place a seperate railtrack in between there. This way your tram would be situated in the middle.

Those are really great news!! I can't wait to see more pictures.

That's - so - SWEET! I hope you can do something about those awful streetlights too (the ones on the pictures) and maybe add some catenary wires, but those are just details. It's pretty awesome that it can be done anyway!

@Andre: the author isn't only Haltendehand....

[Andre090904 0]

He is the single author as he is the one who unlocked the railtracks, as he managed to put the trains onto the tracks and he is the one who is changing the layouts of the streets. There might be some people who have contributed by creating some single textures but that is all.

So basically haltendehand is the single author which should be mentioned when talking about trams. It is senseless to mention every single, tiny contribution such as small textures, translations, advice etc.

Compared to "inventing" or "getting behind" the theoratical steps, creating some descriptions/textures is no big deal. That is why mentioning every contributor is practically rather senseless than helpful.

@Andre: When will it be released? Only on Generation City or also at CitiesXS, Simtropolis?

[Andre090904 0]

It should be finished before PO ends. Nevertheless an open distribution is necessarily planned after the 8.3.2010 because SP-players do not possess any busses at the moment. (And the tram will replace one certain type of bus)

Of course the release is planned for CitesXS.com. It might happen that a French description will be added at Generation-City.com as we do not provide French forums, but finally everything is easier to control when uploading it all together at one page. I mean, uploading things, changing descriptions etc. are easier to manage when you have everything "gathered on one single page".

I've modded the look of the default roads, everyone who is interrested can read about the modificattion here

[MandelSoft 2,770]

Looks great, but can you make also one with white markings intstead of yellow?

[Skimbo 304]

I've planned to make one, and I also will as soon as I have (enough) time......

(Maybe also an austria 1970/Eu 2000 with grey textures, but that's not sure at the moment....)
