Interesting transportation task.

[+Guest]

So, and this is a beta of pedestrian slope stairs (only 1x1 lot at this moment):





Looks like sims take a taxi, ride near the stairs and go up there to the railway station to go to work, huh

At this moment all these lots olso woks like a bus stops. I thinking about remove this function from them. But may be not.. may be I better leave it, cause there is no need to place a busstop near to the pedestrian footway - one tile saved for another house

Oh and redlotus you say you can make new intersections does this mean the possibility of new highway intersections. And also are these interectiosn automatic of just placed like a lot is?

[/quoteMESSAGE][/bEGINQUOTE]

I can make new intersections, including new highway intersections (stack, trumpet, etc).  If had a decent amount of skill with the BAT, anything that you folks could dream up, I'd probably be able to make.  Of course, I am not completely sure how far I can go before slamming into an exe wall.

As for how they are placed, the road-over-rail overpass I'm working on is handled just like the current highway intersections are.  They can either be placed manually, or a pop-up will appear when you create an appropriate intersection.

i was wondering, before any interest is lost on the underpasses, wouldn't it be possible to make the base texture on the terrain that covers the underpass transparent, so that the model could be seen through the terrain? if you load the el-rail to sub transition in the lot editor (called Utils4x1_LightRailSubway) you'll notice that in the part where the track goes underground, the base texture there is completely white and does not show up in-game, therefore allowing the model underneath to be seen. i was thinking it might be possible to do the same thing for the underpasses.

The footpaths really look nice, and the stairs are great.

I say leave the bus functions. Just put a little sign or bench and it will make sense.

[Alkaola 18]

Thank you marrast i'm really enjoying the overpasses, its REALLY great\!

[Smurfer2 7]

That is awesome marrast. You are doing a great job. (Everything looks like Maxis did it)

 

Redlotus: Is this your overpass as of right now: https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files/Overpass6.JPG

WHOA! So, you mean, if you drag a road far enough over a piece of rail, then the blue thing will come up, and you'll get the dialog!?! Cool!

Ok! I got monorail and elevated train tracks as a props! Thanks a lot for Sepsis =

What we got:

I add second variant of overpas, when is no road bridge near the MR track:



And this is overpass near the road bridge:



Stay tuned

Looking great! That will be perfect for my city..

Qbert2 made the monorail props - all cred to him...I just provided the link..

Redlotus - you just said the magic words:

Create New Interchanges

I can't wait for a stack!!!!!!! Good luck if you're gonna try to create one.

[joexcooldude 1]

Just a second ago I listed my request for interchange types into the wrong thread. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=49089&sessionID=5E8F8A2F77874ABDA688ED9577B434A9&PageNo=1#244673

[redlotus 16]

Alright, this will be my last post in this thread unless Marrast has anything that he needs from me.  I don't want to hijack the poor guy's thread.  I will be creating a new thread regarding the overpasses in the near future.  Please direct all your questions on them there.

 

Thank you,

marrast, those pedestrian walkways and stairways look great, hope to see them on the STEX sometime soon! cant wait to use them.

[fredval 26]

Those pedestrian paths and the stairs are amazing. I hope that you'll make them downloadable soon.

And please leave the bus stop function on it. There are never enough bus stops in a city.

You've done an amazingly great job Marast

[LBraden 14]

Can some post a link that works for the Ave. Underpass as that I have tried to D/L it, and I cannot get it, also I cannot read Russian, enough to understand it

[vanshnookenraggen 0]

Where did you get that train station? I tried looking for it in LEX but I couldnt find it...or is just one you made?

[mcdrye 104]

Here are the train stations https://www.simtropolis.com/lots/details.cfm?id=2839

[frogface 352]

marrast ive just downloaded your underpasses and tried them out and they are great i think!

heres what my city looks like with your underpass

without it i'd have been fored to make a level crossing which here would be unrealistic but with the underpass im saved!

im looking forward to more of your BAT stuff! and the final release of the underpass

[mcdrye 104]

Frogface how did you manage to download them? I cant because the links lead to the homepage of hotbox. If you have the files could you attach them in a post?

[sepsis 17]

 

..i hope marrast hasn't abandoned this project..my cities need a lot more of his brilliant over/underpasses..

Having the same problem, tried clicking on stuff at the site but nothing seems like a download.

Those underpasses look wonderful and I am looking forward to being able to use them in a city or 2. Thank You for making them.


Somebody out there who has the Ave. Underpass in their game PLEASE send me a copy. I could really use it.

THANK YOU

Ok....I was wondering will all cars be able to go under this rail bridge? when this update is soon updated Well No cars are going under..... i hope im not the only one?

[Casper3141 60]

i got kinda lost in this thread so....if you sort out the problems with the underpasses could you make one for one-way roads?

[+Guest]

Sorry for the long silence, peeps! I have good news

You can download pedestrian walkways on a LEX right now, here the link:

https://www.simtropolis.com/lots/index.cfm?mode=files&filetype=Lot&Str=Marrast%20Walkways%20%20Stairs%20Set

Please, if you notice some glitches or something, tell me about it.

[sepsis 17]

 

..great!!..been waiting for those..

 

..i hope you haven't quit making underpasses..

 

 

[stp243 8]

i was wondering what happened to this thread! great to have ya back and those walkways look great, keep it up. any new progress with the underpasses?

[kassarc16 4]

For those who were asking, I'll overview marrast's underpasses.

They are fully tranportation functional. Sims will use them to commute by car, bus and train. Freight trucks and trains pass through.

The only problem though, is because of a limitation in SimCity.

You cannot fully cross two networks on a lot. This means that one or the other can't be FULLY functional. Train automata and UDI pass through, but Road automata, UDI, Emergency Dispatches will not pass through, although Dispatches don't realize that and try anyways.

You tried your best with them marrast, and if Maxis had a little foresight/luck in that area, you would have made one of the biggest breakthrough a reality.

[StormyWeathers 1]

About these overpasses... What do you think about road-road-overpasses or avenue-road-overpasses? Ain't that realistic? I think it looks great, for now it's only managable with levelling the terrain!
PS.. I used the beta's, well done, marrast!!
