Scoty's small tinkering

Hi, then, the question is rather in the other direction, is RTMT compatible with .. a network .. => I don't really know RTMT (vague memories, quickly read the page on ST) - I developed my bus and metro station plugin with ortho & Dia streets, road and avenues (Scoty substations) - but the only problem I can assume will be "aesthetic"! because it is likely (practically sure ) that the street texture will be that of Maxis! I don't know if the development of this old plugin is maintained, but it would not be difficult to produce the WWstreet texture overriding that of Maxis-Street used by RTMT, if so!?.

There is RTMT is under development with its version 4.0

If I remember correctly it should be ready for release but I don't know where it stands. You need to ask @rsc204 for the status of the mod

Ah That's good!! Thanks for the info! Indeed, I'll see that with rsc204!!

[rsc204 21,836]

RTMT 4 will (optionally) install a GoFSH repository for creating textures utilising custom sidewalks and/or grasses.

See here for a link to the current online repository. It should be mostly up to date, I need to double check because it’s been a while.

. in this case, it's not adapting to custom pavements and grass, but offering the street variants: Maxis, TSR and WWS! If I'm not mistaken, Lots|TE uses a texture specific to the RTMT plugin to show the street, and this street texture is Maxis one!

[rsc204 21,836]

Right, those should be in the repository, since the Sidewalks etc are baked into them, overlays are used only for Road Markings. Simple overrides will otherwise do to alter them for the most part. However there are textures for Road and Street used for the El-Train over Rd/Street networks, these will need to be darkened to blend in with the shadow layer the game adds to the network. The exact change I can't help you with as it's beyond me and I inherited only the current (finished) textures.

There shouldn't be anything missing if you cover all those from the current v3.6 release.

[hugues aroux 3,818]

... I already include this kind of street variant in my plugins ...

@Vena Marissa .. As soon as I can, I'll look at the IDs of the RTMT "Street" textures and I'll suggest, here, something to cover them with WWS and TSR for those who are interested!

[hugues aroux 3,818]

Still updating Scoty Modular Parking ... the preparation of the Fabrik (available on my Drive) is finished.

I've even added 3 base textures (bringing the total to 14 variations of bitumen, asphalt, etc.).

.. that should be enough  ..Nan !! pfff !!

The dependency links have been updated in the ST articles, pending the update to SMP 1.2 in the coming days ...

@Vena Marissa .. and other interested users ... Please test and let me know if it covers the "streets" in RTMT. !? ->scoty_RTMT_street.zip

[Vena Marissa 1]

@hugues aroux

Thank you, it works but:

1. The sidewalk is still a maxis one, maybe a "fabrik" can be made so people can choose their own sidewalk and grass.

2. IMHO, you should get rid the white stripes in middle as it kinda collide with the bus stop overlay.

Fortunately ... it was planned... so now I'm putting the packets together.Then I put a nice piece of ZIP paper all around it. Now the little ribbon in b... But oooh, that's enough !

WestWind Compagnie is pleased to announce that the Fabrik for RTMT street (WWS & TSR) is on (my) Drive ! Tada !

Ah beh .. by Toutatis! No !  it's quite the opposite, it's these huge markings that overflow their lanes!

 Not very realistic ! There's no such thing in my (aforementioned) pluigin !  Neh neh neh !  Only beautiful authentic markup, yep !

(Well, if I don't advertise my production, who will? ! )

After having undergone pressure from numerous Simnations, received, under the keyboard, checks in Pixels-of-reconstituted-wood deposited into an account in the Simbad-Islands ... I find myself forced to provide an add-on to Scoty-Carbon-Skin [Census Repo Facility v4] & [CAM 2.5 RC2] ... put online around 8 p.m. GMT .. at worst ...

... "But where is the world going, my brave Lucette

Does The Blue One need to be updated as well or is it self adapting depending on plugin folder placement ?

Hi, It is likely that Scoty Blue Skin does not require a change in the UIS files concerned (CAM and Censusrepo) (Because much closer to the Maxis interface), However, I would devote a little time - very soon - to make sure! Promised!

[hugues aroux 3,818]

.. amhbh toohbh zzzic' dho do kh'mplicat'ddh stubhff .. whaaaaat' ?? .. so it willbh just be a saboann .. a Sssaaamone ..beh .. a SAM01 !! ... this weekend .. pffff nodh eezy !

and now I have to stick lots of little cars on it

[hugues aroux 3,818]

.. a small example of SAM01 "WWS Side Streets Bays", texture linked to WWStreet ... two or three details to fine-tune ; an LHD version of the T21s, and it should be ready for publication .. with, as usual, the Texture Fabrik !

Gute Nacht (yes, it's easier in German when you've got a cold! )

[hugues aroux 3,818]

.. et voilà ! A SAM in 24 hours... you wouldn't have believed it... would you!? And yet ..

Well ... the main thing: my cold is almost gone. Does Moder for SC4 cure the common cold? Who knows?

"Et maintenant que vais je faire ?" .. (as the song says, it only speaks to the 3 French speakers over the age of 50 who pass through here ...)And now I'm going to tackle the T21s on my SAM-06. And .. other projects!

I had promised to take a look, and I can confirm (as I imagined) that for scoty-blue-skin the CensusRepo and CAM 2.5 RC2 panels fit well, all by themselves ! a+

I want to let you know that something like this is in the works... That small font needs to be replaced with something bigger, for those who have larger resolutions...

oh new version! ... so I'll be on the lookout for this new version. No worries. I can see that the headband has changed... I'll adjust it accordingly!

No, I'm just making a larger font version.  None of the other items will change, like colors or any other stuff.  That picture was @CorinaMarie's version and she probably didn't have the BSC texture installed at that time.

I can confirm she didn't due to having a very minimal plugins (while coding other UI stuff).

[hugues aroux 3,818]

Rââh .. ok OK !! .. I'm putting the SAM-06 Detroit - v. 1 - on my Drive for testing, if you're interested. This version is calculated on SuddenValley grass and does not yet include T21s. I'm still searching.
