Description:

First: Please doo not wounder why this download is devided in soo many pieces, it was necessary for my concept.

Which roads are added by this mod (If I download them all)?

This slideshow should answer your questions:

Is there any reason why there is no download of the whole thing??

The Idea I've followed, when I've made the mod was to make it possible to use different textures for every plugin to personalize your cities.

New thumbnails??

Yupp, I've made new thumbnails. The Idea was to create a system useing colors for each road type and (for example red= normal road, yellow is the expressway, etc.) and shortcuts for every roaddesign (For example: LUX, CR...). I personally had no problems with this systm but I've created a slideshow where it's explained.

Installation:

Simply put the file into the "Paks" folder of your CitiesXL installation. (It would be better if you create a subfolder extra for this mod)

(Path: C > programms>Monte Cristo > Cities XL >Packs)

Deinstallation:

If yo only use the texture files simply emove them from the packs folder, but if you use one of the new roadtypes (CR, CRD, LUX or SLUX) you should remove first all of theese type of new streets from your cities before removeing the files from the packs foldder, otherwhise the game will crash when loading theese cities.

Dependencies:

Plugin 8 needs minimally the plugins 1,2,3 and 6 to work like it's supposed to do.

General information:

The plugins 7 and 4 can be used seperately from the mod (Just changes the oneway arrows or the textures of the motorways)

Notice: This mod isn't compaible with other mods that change the textures of roads, highways, or pavements.

If you discover some small BUGs please post 'em in this thread (A pic would be nice but is not basically needed )

Discovered problems:

The stopsigns on the intersections of the roadtypes CRL and CRLD do not stand correct (90° wrong)

Some of the streetlights of the standardroad do not have the correct rotation (90° wrong)

^^ I do not know if I can solve theese 2 problems but I'm trying to^^

Enjoy the mod

Bravoooo!!!! good work skimbo.

DelayedTask: "test skimbo mod" XDDDDDDD

Thaks and be happy

[Damastius 5]

Good job Skimbo: downloaded them. Can't wait for all the textures to be finished

BTW what does PRAHA mean?

[Skimbo 304]

Praha is the czech name for Prague. And it's named after the city because I made the recolors on base of texture-photos I've made when I was there last summer.

Thanks Skimbo....it's a great job.

[Skimbo 304]

[Cob92 360]

Excellent mod! I've been using these roads since the original mod was posted on Citiesxs and haven't looked back.

[jazyje 1]

Yeah, my favorite CXL mod --- roads are very important in my cities and the original CXL roads simply didn't look that great...

[evilcatdog 0]

Do these mods work on cities xl 2011?

It says above to put in "paks" folder, but i have tried the paks folder and the data folder in 2011 version and they are not working.

Normally I would say that answers my own question but just in case????

James

[Skimbo 304]

When I tried them they worked.

Remember that they still replace the standard roads, if you try them out in a city with a different roadset they won't work.

[evilcatdog 0]

Thanks for that mate.

This one took me a while.............

I finally understand what you meant when you said it replaces 'standard' roads.

I thought the standard or default roads that the game has, in the building menu,  needed to be used and you couldnt use this if you had any other roads instead. (which may still be true?)

Now I realise that when you begin a new city you can select 'default' roads from the drop down instead of the default which is 'american roads'.

Thus i have been enjoying your amazing roads in my new city.

Thanks for the effort in this!!

James

[Skimbo 304]

Great! Enjoy them =)

Nice Skimbo, I wil try them. Thanx

Skimbo a question,

I want to make a buslane in my city, but i don't want other cars on this lane.

Is it possible to create something like that? ( i don't thinks so, but i wanted to ask it first).

[Skimbo 304]

A busrad is possible, buslane not. But I'm not exactly shure how to mark it.

[luigi87 0]

Busrad, what do you mean by that?

[Nightquest 0]

Hi,

is it possible to use these roads as german roads? I know now I can't, but can you make it or instruct me how to do it?

Thx in advance!

[Mike or Mac 1]

The mod for the roads look awesome, Skimbo! I just have a small problem of trying to use any of them. The mod crashes the game (CitiesXL 2011) at startup. Tried this with this being the only mod installed as well. Like I said, great job on the creation. Just wish I could use it.

[Skimbo 304]

It seems like one or two combinations do not work, I've tried it with several combinations and it did work, but I tried it before the release off the patch.....

But please don't expect any further development of this due I'm absoluteley not motivated at all.

Hi Skimbo!

I must say that road textures u created are amazing and its the best mod because its completely visualy changing whole game making it realistic! Thank you very much for that - you deserve reward ! However its a really pitty it doesnt work properly with CXL 2011. In CXL first edition there were no roundabouts added - those we used were as a mod and ur textures were working perfectly but in the new game roundabouts are already in game and maybe thats why they dont change the texture when I use your mode :-( There is also little problem with interface of the road on countryside - it makes some braun weird textures only when 2 roads crossing....(this was happening already in CXL 09)... you can see it on pics... I installed ur mod correctly...( I didnt forget to add texture path for roundabouts! It's just doesnt work for any of them )

I saw your comment that you are not motivated at all for further developement but I must say it's really PITTY!!!! You did amazing job and now if its not working properly it' s like you wasted time with that. I really think its one of the best mods ever and if you could check whats wrong with that... many people would be thankfull for that. I feel sorry its not working now like with old version of CXL. I am able to send you some money for hard work! Its not problem bcs u totally deserve it! You know if I knew how i would do it but unfortunatelly I never did something like that , I am not clever for these things and actually you are only person who could improve it.

If you dont want to..I respect it and understand but once again.. its a pitty!

Greetings Michael
