Modify road arrows decals

[pauliaxz 195]

I want to modify decals of road arrows in my games so they would be same as in my country. I checked Roads United: Core+ mod and noticed that there are templates for arrow props, I got all the software to open .ai files and etc. 

What I ask is - can I modify road arrows (decals) and bus lane decals without using Roads United? Is there a way to get textures using ModTools and then making decal-only mod?

Yes.

Download ILSpy

Download Roads United: Core (RUC)

Open up the .dll of RUC with ilspy and look into RoadsUnited_CoreProps > ChangeArrowProp() and ReplacePropTextures()

Study this code, we already know it contains the code for replacing road decals.

Create your own mod using RUC as inspiration. If you want to know how to make the textures, just look at how they look in the RUC mod, there are two textures (128x256) - the regular one and the aci texture, the regular one is the diffuse, and the aci contains the alpha, it has a red (255, 0, 0) background and the decal itself is black. You'll need nvidia photoshop plugin to save the file as .dds.

In the end I decided to make a Roads United dependant mod. 

Few questions:

How can I access vanilla road textures? 

What distance in game is used for 1024x road texture? 2 tiles (16 m) or 1 (8 m)?

EDIT: Measured it in game, it is 20 meters for 1024x texture.
