Urban/Downtown Brick Road

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

I am wanting to know where i can find trolca first! lol

she might be able to help me with this one

I am wanting to have something like her urban brick road mod to be static, meaning, i want the raods to always be brick, not just when some rich guy decides to move in on the street, lol

I want to either knwo if this has been done, if so, where can i get this, and if not, how i can mod her brick road mod, or create one of my own.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Could you provide a little more details on what you are trying to do?  Off hand, the only way I can think of to make it static without replacing streets is to create network puzzle pieces, but intersections with other networks would be a problem then.  There may be a way around that though.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

What i want to do is make trolca's mod, permanent. Changing all the streets to brick all the time, to make it the default texture. Is there something i can change within the mod already in place to make it that way, or do i have to make a whole new one?

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

oh yeah, and how can i make other textures too, i want to make this available for everyone, so post your textures you wish to have as your streets, and as soon as i fgure all of this out, i will relase a super street mod. Thanks For everyones help. And, please, if you can help in any way, post!

thank you

hold on im confused but do u mean like trolca's brick road replaces the streets and u dont want it to?? and u want another seperate mod that makes brick roads that does not replace the streets? i mean think about it having brick roads int he suberbs and that goes like street then brick one tile then rest street looks kinda funny right??? so ur askin for a permanent brick road mod?

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

yes, all my roads ar downtown roads, i dont really have a suburb, i am wanting to have permanent brick roads no matter what density or wealth level for my historical districts. If someone can make this for me, or if it is already done, please direct me to this, or, if told how to do it, i will do it myself. i am thinking its only an emeplar i need to change or a few numbers within the existing mod for this to be done, i just dont know which one.

[idirk41i 0]

gotcha thats what i wanted too...but i dont have any skills in this like BAT or mods maybe if u do have some skills u could revise trolca's mod i dunno just an idea

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

Cool. but bat has nothing to do with this, this is pure modding at its best. This just requires fsh files, and placement, and coding in the file itself, i just got to figure it out. lol

I'm no expert, but here it goes...

I am assuming you are talking about making the normal streets brick roads (sorta what the mod does), but instead of just doing it for rich people you want it done for everything...

that being said... its actually quite simple (at least in words) you have to replace all of the normal street textures (i.e. wealth, nothing, those sorts of things) with brick road textures... and all i know from there is that you have to replace the FSH textures...

if you want to see, look in the dat for the mod... see if you can find any FSH textures (especially the brick ones)...

well thats it from me hope i helped in some way, (or not)... either way I'M DONE!

good luck (p.s. it would be neat to have brick roads everywhere, in place of streets).

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

thanks for your help, i am going to get on this now!

and about the brick being everywhere, its only going to be the streets, not the roads.

I will post you up to date, i am going to go work on this now!

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

which dat file are the original street textures in?


edit: I found it, for further refernce to anyone, all transit textures are found in the third sim city dat file


edit: I found them in 5 instead of 3, i might change this again, im a mid level modder, so im not all up to everything yet, hehe

[cow 1]

i would like this as well. however, i would like to see not only having an all brick streets mod, but also an all dirt streets mod too. if you figure it out, i'm sure making an all dirt one would be pretty easy.

[pansarkatt 2]

I really like your idea. Will you share that mod when you're done?

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

of course i will share

this is easier than i thought it would be to mod, i only have to change a few instances in the fsh files of the existing files to make this complete. i will post pics in a few minutes whne i get them over to the laptop im not using to mod and test.

and about the dirt street mod, i will do that when i complete this brick one.

Ah! revolutionary technology for SC4- pedestrian streets- something which I cant beleive they missed out when they exist in every town, city and even village sometimes.

 But then again they forgot decant stations and I could go on all evening.

 

But It'd be nice to see pedestrian streets. I usually improvise by laying a row of plazas then having the backs of the buildings on the plazas and the front on a road. Then u can have a mock one.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

LOOK!!!!!
Not only does it make brick roads for low wealth residential, it makes it for all zones, and it also makes it brick for parks, landmarks, and civic buildings too. I am done with the low wealth mod, i am working on the medium wealth mod now!!!!!

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

Im all done with the Brick Street Mod, I just dont know where to put it at. I can upload it to the mod section, theres no option to do that. So, where should i put it guys?

[ardecila 125]

PM Toroca. He'll set you up with a spot in the mods section.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

k, thanks guys

[zanny 0]

This is seriously cool.

Any chance of some cobbled streets?????

(might be a hard texture, to make..)

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

I could try, i am actually trying to make my own textures right now anyways, i will keep you guys posted.

This may take a while, iLive and DATgen are two VERY unstable programs to work with.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

Here we go, i am making new textures that fit better in a downtown environment by dragging the sidewalk all the way up to the buildings.

If you can find a pic or texture somewhere for what you want, i will see what i can do, just post it here

[DuskTrooper 314]

Can you use some other texture? That one kinda looks like asphalt painted red. Im thinking of a paver/cobblestone type of texture.

Actually, don't. Toroca has been absent a while (looking for a job I've heard). Speak to...I dunno, someone else. Someone high up on the staff list.

These are trolca's textures, so talk to her about that, i personally like them, but this was my first major mod, so you are going to have to wait on that one. Its very soon to come though. Dont worry!

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

What about this texture, iam trying this one out, i think the bricks need to be smaller though;

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

Or, what about this one;

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

oR, WHAT ABOUT THIS;

[cow 1]

the bigger sidewalk looks MUCH better.

as far as the three new street textures, i dunno, they're kinda funky looking. i can't place my finger on why, but they just look out of place. maybe i'm just crazy. what do others think?

maybe some of the textures here would help (i don't know what kind of textures sc4 needs, so these may be useless): http://www.3dcafe.com/asp/texturesstones1.asp
