Realistic US Roads Mod

[pcwhiz24 1,185]

(I'm GeniusXL, I changed my username to pcwhiz24 to match the username I have over at XLNation.com)

I've played Cities XL for quite a while now, and loved the game, and all these new mods I found here on this website, so I have decided to make my own contribution.

I never tried making a mod for this game before, but I decided (since I have more time now) to tackle this challange, and make a mod.

I always noticed that the road textures in the game are too low resolution, and some of the US roads don't even look realistic, as the white dotted lines are too close and it's not realistic.

These are the first pics right of what I got so far:

and

As you can see, I still have to work on the sidewalks and the white lane markers haven't showed up on the large avenues (don't know why).

This is what I'm trying to achieve:

Small avenue:

the highways:

and the sidewalk textures:

Something I noticed about these sidewalk textures in the game (in the unedited ones) is what is the road portion for? (circled in red) I replaced it with my own texture, but what function does it serve?

Stay in tune for more updates, and I'll need all the help I can get.

Thanks!

Update:

Well, I managed to "retexturize" the roads:

Basically, this was a test right now (because it always crashed) I know it's incomplete, but I'm just glad it actually works!

I still have to do the sidewalks and crosswalks. I also have to redo a some of the textures (the yellow line in the avenue was going the wrong way) and I have to remove the white line, because it makes the 6 lane blvd look bad. other than that, what do you think so far?

Here's one more sneak peak:

Road , crosswalk and intersection textures are finally complete! Now I will move on to the sidewalks, these are going to take a while.

Phooh! I like

The Mod is almost finished!

The sidewalks are finally complete and I have used a much improved road texture, less coarse. I also made the Botts dots in between the dashed lines a bit less noticable. I still have to complete a few more things,

and there will be a surprise at release.

Here are the dark asphalt textures:

what ever happened to the concrete tile set you were gonna do? Is that just being baked into the cxlNWM?

Is it done?

[snick25 384]

Yes. Check out XL Nation's XLEX for details.

Says that xl nation is down. Is that gonna be permanent?

[snick25 384]

No. The owner is in the process of transferring the site to a new server. With that done, many of the issues that plagued the site should be a thing of the past.

Just be patient; it should be back up and running in a few days at the most.
