I agree that the the double decker el feature should be expanded to other types, but I also think you should include an over road station.  You could get the one off the STEX or make your own.  It'd be really cool if you coud make the stations go over T intersections and 4 way intersections too.

[Keiran Halcyon 0]

Like these stations in Chicago.

[Gen 0]

Is there a way to improve the texture of the pillars for Avenue flyover,road... and Elevated Rail over road?

It really is impractical to make puzzlepieces with different heights. The possible number of height variations, for the different scenarios, would be astronomical. This is partially why the actual proper bridges in the game are hardcoded on some level. I'll see if there is some way to some how manipulate them, to get the same results (like the proper bridges), but I highly doubt it'd be possible. In any event, I wouldn't hold your breath for this.

To make diagonal bridge pieces, I don't think the number of pieces needs to be astronomical or anything like it. What is needed at first is one high diagonal piece for each major network (hw, road, avenue, rail - we can do without one-ways, streets or el), that is, say, twice the height of the current pieces, maybe some more. In addition we need a connection piece to the shore for each network. This means a total of just eight pieces. To use these, granted, the seabed and the shore needs to be at a certain level - they won't work everywhere. So, this means that the user will in most cases need to do terraforming to use them, and that they won't work on all types of terrain, but only certain types. I think most of us will be OK with this. Even limited in this way, this would be a major asset, I think.

Well, that's my two cents.

[Alecks 0]

Yes I think this is a great beginning and I don't see others pieces for my part except in the future some retaining structures like for more complicated bridges like suspension,etc.

REQ: 2 Orth x 1 Diag.

Please, with all these new intersections still the one that I really want is missing. I understand thats prob because it would be a total biyatch to make but it would be so awsome to have.

See attachment.



EDIT: If I made the textures would there be more chance of this happening?

[chocolate_city 93]

You creators are without a doubt what keeps this game alive ...  I couldn't even imagine playing without all your invaluable contributions, but i have to keep requesting double-deck freeways in hopes that they might get done...  I've tried....and  i'm a idiot when it comes to batting.... So i'll keep my fingers crossed!!

[toxicpiano 125]

hey, could we have avenues with those yellow lines down the middle of them?

[frimi2 0]

Yes, but that is not a NAM-Request. Changing the ingame textures is an other departement

I think the texture is somewhat less than half the work ... um even...

Otherwise, I was thinking a layout more like this (sorry for the crapness of the diagram, but I think its good for a 3 min job!) :



EDIT: Hmm, actually that would be kinda crap for people doing a left hand turn out of the diagonal avenue. I'm not really sure on the limitations of tile usage.

Now that I think about it I would say that this is the optimal layout:

[SC4BOY 20]

I wish please to add a request. I am interested in a 

 

                   =DOUBLE DECKER BRIDGE.=

 

 I don't know if this is possible, but I am encouraged by seeing the el over road capability recently shown to be do-able. It may be that bridges are a special class of object in SIM4 and cannot be user modified

 

 The bridge in question is an overgirder bridge (happens to  be the combined I-71/I-75 crossing of the OHIO RIVER leaving Cincinnati OH into Covington KY.) This bridge has approximately 8 lanes of interstate traffic with the northbound traffic on the lower deck (I think.. been a while since I've been there) and the southbound traffic on the upper deck.  This is an interesting and major bridge carrying a lot of traffic 24/7. Thanks for your consideration.

 

The more I think of this the more outrageous it seems.. haha.. because of course the approach would have to involve some over/under expressway capability too.. oh well.. can't hurt to ask.. prolly would require very senior talent even if possible..

 

Do any of you other people know of double decker bridges? I am sure there must be many on major roadways.

 

 

[toxicpiano 125]

Can somebody lend me the highway texture please or tell me where to find it on the site?

i would also like to see double decker bridges. Could you make double decker highways? you could offset the thing so that the elevated highway went over the other, but the actual tiles you would place it on would be next to the ground highway. So could we have offset puzzle pieces?

like this perhaps

maybe it could be even just a transport enabled lot.

[NintendoMaster128 30]

But would that diagonal screw with the turning lane and texture?

[SC4BOY 20]

...should include an over road station.

Sweet idea AND it should automatically INCLUDE a pedestrian xover in it

[Glenni 1,444]

can you try making bridges for streets?i dunno if thats possible tho....

[frimi2 0]

To much free time ? - To many free resources ? - Your life is empty ?

And you are fit in making RULes ?

 

Here is the solution: My NAM-Requests 

(Don't worry, the textures I do by myself )

And hence, the intersections that never were.

However, frimi, some of those textures show inconsistent style. Take, for example, number 5. Draw an imaginary line down the center of the diagonal avenue. Now, flip the texture over that line, so the NE and SW corners are reversed, and the NW and SE corners remain the same. (In an image editor, you'd do a 90 degree rotate, followed by a flip or a mirror.) The differences in the crosswalks should be immediately obvious.

On a different note, I'm not a mod, but really, 600x1199?

Where is the difference between 1 and 2 or 3 pics ?

[joe_dirt 2]

heres another idea,

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//intersection.jpg align=baseline>

it would look so badass, maybe it can be done? the right turn bypass lanes can be made dby dragging a one way road in the direction shown in the red box. the cross walks would definitely look best where the white lines are drawn, and the borken white lines are where they cross walk could be, but i'm not sure if the game would accept it. any questions just ask me, i'll gladly explain. i'd love to see left turn lanes, but i know that they arent easy to make. i'll help out with this in any way, if possible. tell me what you think.

I love it, but don't like to annoy Tropod and Teirusu and all the other guys, which do this fine work.

I had only some ideas, may be at the other side of the border to the reality  

[joe_dirt 2]

okay, just elaborating a little more

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//intersection.jpg align=baseline>

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//intersection2.jpg align=baseline>

okay well, theres some more proposals, i know there are several inconsistencies especialy in 3a, with the crosswalk, and these are just my idea on something already proposed. but how does this look in terms of changes?

[joe_dirt 2]

yea, i dont mean to annoy anybody either, but if anyone is willing to go thorugh on this, i will gladly help out in any way i can. just some ideas though, would definetly love to see those right turn lanes though

A good idea is always the first step. That is the reason why I do this

 

EDIT: to discuss my little pics, of course

[joe_dirt 2]

sorry to heap on another request, but i'm just itching to ask,

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//road%20types.JPG align=baseline>

[edit:anyone know why the pic randomly changes?]

okay, this pic is old, ignoring number three, and 4, could it be possible to make a boulevard like number 1, but with a turning lane in the center by laying 2 parallel one way roads next to eachother?, and for number 2, could the roads be modded so that a turning lane [eye candy] is used only around certain densities? ei, high density zones

[Keiran Halcyon 0]

This is not an item request, but a functionality request. Would it be possible to make it so that ground highways are grouped with elevated highways with the tab key? (The purpose being to make ground highways accessible without using the menu, by hitting shift-R to get elevated highways and then tabbing to ground highway.) Likewise, for roads and one-ways.

[kassarc16 4]

I wanted to request this, pulled from the Textures request thread. Someone brought it back up. It was an idead of mine from a long while ago.

Now, I know frimi2 did make a version of this, but I think it conflicted with the NAM (the turning lane textures were messed up with it installed)  While his textures were spot on, the intersection still contained the stoplights, which are the one thing I wanted to see removed. If this is possible without messing up an actual roadxroadxroad-to-street intersection, I would like to see it included in the NAM, or at least a non-conflicting version.

Nothing can be messed up with my little replacement, because it only (and nothing more) replaced the the ingame-textures. No replacing for path, exemplar or whatelse is done
