Something I can do is attempt to run a database query which updates all the city-builders URLs posted on ST to the club @catty-cb made instead. .....

That would be very much appreciated, I've been trying to find out what happened to the city-builders.info address and according to WHOIS

I did change domain names back about 10 plus years ago ... I think it used to finish as .co.nz rather than info, at one point I was going thru the site trying to track down old links and change them,  so if its possible to do it as a database query that would be fantastic.

@catty-cb

Good news. I believe I've got them all updated now to your City Builders club.

While at it I also did the same for the old SimPeg site which is similarly showing adverts on there now. I made those update to the PLEX on the STEX thread instead. Of course, the continuity is broken of how old file links and resources will no longer redirect directly where posters intended, but I think this is an improvement with how at least these will redirect on site now. Most of them were on the forums, but a few hundred were also on the STEX as well.

I ran the query in such a way that links to the Wayback Machine would be preserved.

Thanks, I did actually wonder about the simpeg site after I went to bed last night, and it would have had far more URLs listed on simtropolis than my site.

I think the omnibus had a index of the old simpeg URLs to the PLEX, which was quite handy after the site first went down, but not really relevant now

I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I'm very interested in Paeng's Nightowl Extenders. The description in this thread says that it doesn't make much sense to use it if you don't use Paeng's Sandstone sidewalk. I'm more into Gobias's Queens Cobblestone sidewalk than I'm into Paeng's Sandstone sidewalk. I understand that nothing is stopping me from using the Nightowl Extenders while using Gobias's Queens Cobblestone Sidewalk. I also understand that it wouldn't make much sense for me to use the extenders for Paeng's Sandstone sidewalk while using Gobias's Queens Cobblestone sidewalk. Why wouldn't it make much sense to use the extenders for the Parks 205 and Bikepath sets if I'm not using Paeng's Sandstone sidewalk? Thanks in advance!

Edit: Nevermind! I think I have my answer! There are three folders included with the Nightowl extenders, one for bike paths, one for park paths, and one for sandstone. The sandstone extenders don't make much sense if you're not using sandstone to begin with. I suppose that that's not the case with the bike path and park path extenders.

If you have my Filler Set, it can override these extenders to include your sidewalks. Outside of that, with a combination of my overrides/one Lot Texture edit, you can make all of Paeng's content work with any sidewalk:

Note too that my filler set contains the most comprehensive sidewalk adaptable extenders available.

@rsc204

Thanks so much for that! I installed your Filler Set earlier today! I just ran the installer again to include the Paeng-KS SandstoneProp overrides. I also moved the Sandstone Extenders into my plugins folder. I had the BikePath Extenders and the ParkPath extenders, but I wasn't yet certain about the Sandstone extenders. I'll keep the method that you described in mind of using your overrides and making a Lot Texture edit.

Hi everyone,

I noticed a screenshot showing the sandstone texture for the tram-on-avenue network and I’d really like to get that look.

I downloaded Paeng_Texture_Mods_v101, but only the texture files, not the sidewalk mod, since I already have a sidewalk texture I like. However, I still get the default NAM tram-on-avenu texture instead of the sandstone one.

What am I missing? Do I need a specific load order or an additional file to make the sandstone texture appear on tram-on-avenue tiles?

Here’s the reference image of what I’m trying to achieve: (attach image)

Thanks in advance for any help!

It's been a while since I used paeng's sandstone texture, but I think it's got to load after the tram, I used to have a zzzzz plugin folders that i used to put plugins in that had to overwrite other plugins

That was @rsc204's Sandstone GLR mod, which was I believe integrated into the MGB Sidewalk NAM (SWN) - Paeng Sandstone mod. 

If you want only the sandstone GLR part that might require moving some files manually.

Alternatively there is a more advanced user option from @rivit, which is a method of creating custom GLR resin options.

Otherwise, I willl play around with your solutions.
