How do I make puzzle pieces?

[Fatherted 129]

<p>It would be amazing if someone could direct me to a tutorial on how to make puzzle pieces, and of course how to make a lot for them (2 networks). I would like to make HSR over road pieces, and could easily do the lotting if somebody helped me make the actual pieces.</p>

You should really check the omnibus more, because it's right on the front page of the modding section: https://www.simtropolis.com/omnibus/_/simcity-4/modding-information/

The relevant tutorial: https://www.simtropolis.com/omnibus/_/simcity-4/modding-information/how-to-create-puzzle-pieces-part-1-r199

Goshie! That's a LOT of work. Oh well, guess that that idea fizzled out quite quickly.

These kinds of questions are better asked in the Modding forum. After doing a little hunting around in the Omnibus, of course.

There are a few big notes to, well, to take note of regarding the world of puzzle pieces:

- For beginners, it's not LOTing, simply because they're not lots.

- As you have (brutally) figured out, it entails textural modification, pathing modification, RUL-0 modification, and in the case of HSR's 3D models, S3D editing.

- Since puzzle pieces are bound to the Controller and since only the NAM Team can distribute the controller, you'll never be able to distribute what you were making unless you run it through the NAM Team.

Were you making dual-networking pieces?

Yes, I was. HSR over RD, but I guess I'll have to abandon that idea. Still, one to remember next time you feel like doing some incredibly difficult modding, Ganaram!
