It's quite simple really; I have been using the ploppable asphalt mainly as ploppable pavement / concrete with a light grey color. With this it would be awesome to be able to replace all those with the real one so that I can use the ploppable asphalt like its supposed to be used, as asphalt

Actually got it working. Took the prop-it up code as a basis and with the following script run with modtools it replaced all ploppable asphalt with ploppable pavement instead.

It persisted trough a save. The save did loose the theme setting for some reason but setting it on load and loading and everything looks fine.

            SimulationManager.instance.AddAction(() =>
            {
                PropInfo newProp = PrefabCollection<PropInfo>.FindLoaded("1113005609.R69 Ploppable Pavement Square_Data");
                //  Null check:
                if(newProp != null)
                {
                    Debug.LogWarning("FOUND REPLACEMENT");
                }
                var props = PropManager.instance.m_props.m_buffer;
                for (uint index = 0; index < props.Length; index++)
                {
                    var prop = props[index];
                    if (prop.Info != null)
                    {
                        var propInstance = prop.Info;
                        if (propInstance == null)
                        {
                            continue;
                        }

                        if (propInstance.name == "881291183.R69 Ploppable Asphalt Square_Data")
                        {
                            prop.Info = newProp;
                            props[index] = prop;
                            Debug.LogWarning("replaced!"); 
                        }
                    }
                }
            });

This may be unrelated, as this happened to me too, and I certainly didn't do any experiments with scripts.

Streamed today to continue Bauhaus... abrupt ending as 3ds Max decided to self destruct, then crashed on every launch after that.

 

[Ronyx69 2,413]

So I just updated the Theme Decals mod so they don't stop working once you change apvd or detail settings...

But all of the decals stopped working, I suspected loading screen mod assumed they were the "new file format" and failed to load them, similarly to what happened in the first hours with new assets, but I thought it was the other way around. Well it didn't load without loading screen mod either, so I'm not sure what happened.

Point is, be careful if you're updating old asset packs or mods which include assets by reuploading older .crp files I guess? I had to resave all of them and now it works.

Looks already better than the stuff in the trailer

[Darf 1,439]

Yeah just what I was thinking. We should create an eco update before Co releases one.

YES YES YES!  Waited for buildings like this long time and you made them sooooooo perfect! Great work.

[Ronyx69 2,413]

Bauhaus Dessau almost done, only signs (optional) and LOD left... LOD will be kinda high in tris, guessing 500, because of the exterior/interior mess. Lot size is 14x9 btw.

Exterior + Glass + Interior = 10000 triangles, which should really show what an abomination the vanilla carousel really is.

 

[Ronyx69 2,413]

More Nordi stuff: grassy dunes

Quite a lot of tris (270-350) but I guess you don't place a lot of them so maybe not that bad...

 

I also made this thread on c:s forums about the shadow glitches, which probably will be ignored anyway...

Happy anniversary

[Turjan 1,048]

Yes, happy anniversary! And the building is so pretty with its interiors and those great nightlights.

[barcasam7 185]

Happy anniversary - thank you for all your assets, decals and mods. They have been game changing and we appreciate your hard work!

[Ronyx69 2,413]

Thanks!

 

Work on Nordi stuff hasn't stopped, it's just kinda disappointing when you import an asset and it looks like a blobby mess with flickering shadows compared to even the 3ds Max viewport.

Also I have no idea why I enabled softer shadows only now, it's so much better...

Here's some cliffy rocky stuff with a bunch of the previous stuff as well:

You are late to the party 

You might be interested in the source code. There are many other values that can be tweaked.

I already have tweaked them and most of my screenshots are taken with my own custom lighting, tonemapping and lut.
https://gist.github.com/ronyx69/68361dbe11877773b4378597f9ba5437

I just don't want to rely on that for my release cause those settings would look screwed in any other map theme and lut combination.
I rather use already established mods that people use.

Also going to make a video of some stream footage, making that second rock.

[Tim The Terrible 586]

Those are some very nice some rocks, looking forward to the some stream footage.

Started work on some docks today. Meant to go on top of the (ground level) next plain 2 lane road.

Made as thin and narrow as it can be to fit the shape of the road. The idea is so you can have little islands of docks and have functional roads hidden a couple cm below this surface, and buildings above the surface. This is already possible with the old breakwaters, but I want to make a better set.

I experimented for 4 hours with ideas of making it roadside ploppable, and with roads under it to force down the terraforming, everything was too messy and unreliable so I guess people will have to manually place it on top of the road, and also place a road underwater to force the terraforming down. But at least it will have more uses in situations I haven't planned for I guess.

You should wait and see what the road modding side of the next DLC is maybe it'll let us do stuff like this properly (instead of placing them on top of current roads which is finnicky)

Yeah I don't have high hopes for that but we'll see. I expect nodes would be a mess for something like this anyway, and how would it meet up with a different segment...

 

Continued with some edge pieces:

Well I wouldn't judge the chicken before it's hatched

[Ronyx69 2,413]

You will be able to place decals on top of the docks:

I will need to compile information for an explanation and probably provide source files so it's easier for others to create surface props which support decals on them.

It uses the same stuff as ploppable asphalt/pavement but there are some limitations to the prop size and uv mapping.

The diffuse is a custom texture, but decals can be placed on top of it, also the normal map of the prop is visible even through the decals.

[art just right 427]

I am here just to say.. Perfect job man! Keep it up!

[charlesnew 262]

Like @Arnold J. Rimmer... Nothing specific, just want to tell you that I love your assets and can't wait for more in the future!

very impressive ronyx .. you´re quite the artist in CS

[Stanil 15]

This is great.

I‘m stupid though, and I need a short explanation of how to use the docks.

EDIT: I think I‘m getting a hang on this.
