    Here is a second look at the ditches (along with the river), Including the transition piece.

    I already fixed the giant sized man-hole cover. Should have seen my jaw drop when I realized a semi could drive through the first one 4.gif

    LAR Update:

    I've added the access stairs to the first release.

    I know what you all are thinking ... there's a lot less junk in the rivers.

    There are going to be several files that control how much junk appears in the rivers, so you can have more or less junk. Make them as trashy, or as neat as you like.

    Great job on these lots, they really add an effect to slums. I like the textures you use too.

    Junk or no junk, that looks excellent!!

    These lots are going to give a lot of class to the low class areas.

    Thank you both.

    Now for some pretty icons for the ugly rivers.

    Man, those lots are just plain disgusting. Just the way they should be. I personally wouldn't take this, but it's terrific. But that water looks a little too fake.

    If I can ever get the water better I'll update it, for now, this is the best I've been able to do. The clean water versions are looking really nice, and I'll be posting pics after I get this done.

    I'll add this info to the description ... the old files were in RLM Productions\LA RIver Project

    The old MML Files were in ZZZ_RLM_MML (or close to that)

    The old files did have shadow problems, be sure you are not using version 1

    EDIT: I found out the problem. My shadow setting in graphics was on high. I tried on medium and low, but only low dissipated the effect. But now i get no shadows on my buildings. Do you think you could fix this later on in the project.

    Quick question, hope I don't sound too much like a newbie.

    Just downloaded these, I think they look great, but I'm having a problem.

    How do you precisely drop the elevation to the right level so the river pieces come out flush on top?

    There must be a simpler way besides the gouge valley and level buttons under the landscape menu. Or else I just don't know how to use them right.

    The online read me has a link to the hole digging lots, you'll need to use the one for highways, 12 meters. 

    To save time, here is that link.

    Smoncrie's hole digger lots are highly recommended.

    Somebody .. it took me some time to figure out why it was doing that, now that I have, I will do an update, it will take some time (about a week or so), but I can fix it. I never noticed it because I run my game with out shadows, as the shadows slow my game down a lot, when my cities get big. The problem is that the LODs are at ground level, and I will need to extend them slightly.

    The shadow glitch has been fixed, also the MML file has been renamed.

    I accidently left the cleanitol file out of this update. if any one needs it, just let me know (There is a copy with the ditches, and I will be updating the upload later to include it)

    It should be in both the parks Menu, and the LandMark Menu. I'll test the upload to make sure everything is in it.

    I downloaded the file from STEX, everything is where it belongs. I never made a menu icon for the MML Lot, so it might be a bit hard to find. I'll work on correcting that over-sight in a day or two.
