Thunderman's Project, RHW Resting Place (next version)

Hi guys,

 

As some of you know, i've recently made an RHW Resting Place and uploaded it to the stex.

 

Since this was a first draft, i tend to update it with a new version. Or maybe make an modular version out of this...

I've searched for some pictures on google for this, but there hardly to be found on there...

 

So my question is, does anyone know a good source/website where i can find such pictures.

Maybe someone that is most of the time on the road can snap some photo's?

 

Also would love to hear your ideas, opinions, suggestion for the next version, so i can add it into the version when possible...

Due note that i only have lot skills yet and not any much knowledge about batting or how to transit enable them...

 

But im willing to try everything new and upgrade my skills with this...

 

My current plans for the next version are:

 

- Make it transit enabled

- regular version or modular version

- Adding diagonal parkings

- Adding Restrooms, with or without a restaurant

 

 

If anyone wants to offer their skills in an certain aspect, that would also be appreciated  ;)

 

Due note, that i just have accepted a new fulltime job, so it might happen that i sometimes don't have the time to keep working on this project,

but i will work on it whenever i got the time to do so...

 

Cheers!

 

Thunderman

    hehe, i think there is nothing wrong with the idea.

    I like it much. Because it is something missing in sc4.

    And there are many ways to make variable versions.

     

    As i have found it today, i have not tested it by now.

    After i have downloaded all files i give it a try.

     

    May be a nice idea to make at least two version

    - one not transit enabled

    - one transit enabled

     

    One with a smaller toilethous would be an great effort too...

     

    some links with pics:

    Thanks for you view on this...

    Let me know what u think on the lot i made, i personally think it wasn't a bad attempt at first.

    I know i need to increase my skills with this as i never have made lots much... And i know i need to keep the dependencies list as small as possible... A problem i need to find a solution for...

     

    Btw i checked out the pictures, and these are great example to start working with... It brought some nice ideas for me and i think im going to make a modular version out of this. 

    As it is a more flexible way to create a wide range of lots for this project...

    Hi Thunderman

     

    are you still working on this one? I hope so because I really like the idea of having this kind of parking area.

     

    I just tried the german words autobahnparkplatz and autobahnparkplätze with google and I have choosen 'pictures' as the search option near the top of the google screen and found some nice images, I believe a copy/paste of these two words into google.nl will work fine too.

     

    As a starter, how about these?:

    I'm sorry to inform you that i've been too caught up in real life issues, so therefore any progress on this project has been halted until further notice..

    So it may take awhile before i can continue on the project...

    I've reported this before:

    Hmm seems like some textures that i've used are conflicting with other textures that are using the same iid range... I have to look into it when i am picking up this project again when i got the time to do so...
