under rail texture

Hi

Just wondering if anyone is aware of any modd that changes the texture under the rail. I have one that makes everything brown and a bit ugly. My primary concern is where I lay multiple rails next to each other like coming into a station. The outside rails touching other buildings or roads turn brown but all the lines in the middle have the default maxis grass around them.

Any help appreciated..

I personally like Pegasus's mod better. Here's the mod*, and a thread I created about an addon to the mod that puts the textures on all the wide radius and FAR curves you get with the NAM.

A little insight on how rail wealthification works: It's mostly the same with most other but instead of grass, it's dirt. This dirt texture is also used with the dirt used for agricultural zoning; You know how when you zone farmland, instead of sidewalks/footpaths along the road, you get dirt, right?

You can remove that rail dirt entirely by just replacing the dirt texture with a transparent texture, so that all the dirt is hidden; In fact, that's all that's needed. Both mods mentioned above use the zero-dirt texture, which can be if you prefer to keep the actual rail textures unchanged.

Or you can download any one of those mods, isolate the zero-dirt texture, and delete everything else. For the link I provided, locate the file SWAMPER-PEG_NoRailDirt_MOD_205.dat and delete everything else.

    Hi

    I knew I had downloaded the Peg mod, an SBFT mod and another that unifies all rail textures before (railupgrademod). So I took them off and reinstalled them in different combinations. I still get brown tiles at the start of station or along built up areas. With the railupgrademod it lets you pick if you want transperent or mossy textures. Have a look at this pic and let me know if this can be fixed. At the moment I beleive Pegs and railupgrademod are installed.

    Thanks
