Visual glitch with rural sunken highway walls on ramps

[loopmaster 0]

Hi,

 

I tried to use the rural sunken highway walls to add them to the ramps to look nice, but i saw this little glitch. I have installed all dependencies and i'm pretty sure i plopped this wall in a correct way. I also have the jagged edges mod.

That's a normal game glitch.  The highway off ramp just gets a little too close to the ground--it's not really meant to go at that angle, they weren't designed with sunken highways in mind.  You'll see the same problem with quite a few things on slopes.  There's nothing you can do.

ok, but what about the transition walls, they also glitch out, and it's got nothing to do with ramps.

The walls are designed to be placed on a very specific slope.  I'm not sure about those in particular; check the readme or the description where you downloaded them.  It's also possible that the walls themselves aren't quite perfect.

 

The game just doesn't handle slopes perfectly.  There will be glitches.  You have to play around with it, and often you can make them go away.

You probably used a standard 15 m trench for the sunken highway, which causes texture bleed through with these walls. Those walls are made for 14 m deep trenches, in order for the overpasses to have an arched look.

Yes, BuddyBud made his works to be at 14 m. Also, for the missing wall textures, be sure you have Jeronij's wall set with its required dependencies. That's usually the issue when those particular sections don't appear.

ok it's all good now, turns out i didn't have some texturepack installed or messed up the installation. Thanks for your help, especially for the tips about the height.

Huh, I didn't know buddybud's walls were made for 14m, I read the readme too(all of them), I must have missed that part or something.  That is very good to know indeed. +1 for you CaptCity.

Yes, I don't remember if it was initially planned or an 'accident' (could have had to do with the names of the hole digger lots at the time), but it turned out he liked the way the NAM overpass bridges appeared to have a 'hump' when they crossed over. After that, he made everything to work with 14 m.
