Euro Road Textures Mod

[Thorvin 2]

i will test the asphalt highway with the nex nam (i have just downloaded it). I will try to fix that if i have time...

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Hmm, can you make modified Euro textures for the new road turning lanes?

Oh, and would it be possible to build standard intersections without needing to use the zebra crossing mod, matching the standard Euro roads, like so:
Standard Australian Intersection (click - image is slightly larger than max. allowable size)

As far as I know, frimi2 is working on an extension of the Euro Road Textures Mod for some European textures for the new NAM elements in particular. It should also be possible to change the zebra crossing texture in something else, you just have to modify the associated textures.

[Thorvin 2]

So the asphalt highway are working with the new NAM. You just have to follow the order of the files :

/Plugins/

    /folder/

        /A-NAM/

            - NAM's files (.dat)

        /B-ERTM/

            - .dat

        /C-HIGHWAYS/

            - .dat 

 

So it must work.

 

 

Now, i don't have time to work on new updates, a least until March. So if you want to continue the work, there is no problem !

The SFBT Euro Road Textures Mod by frimi2

 

frimi2 re-created the Euro Road Textures Mod from scratch and added all the textures that were previously missing in Thorvin's mod, including every addtion that comes with the NAM, such as roundabouts, overpasses, puzzle pieces etc. He also changed the bridge and tunnel textures, so the mod is now complete. Unfortunately, the STEX is down (again) at the moment, so here's a pre-release version. The final version will come with a handy installer (the same as the NAM is using), which will cut down the download size from 7.68 to 3.80 MB. Before installing this mod, please remove every previous version of Thorvin's or frimi2's Euro Road Textures mod. It also contains a file that will change the doubled one-way road arrows to single arrows, so the one-way road roundabout from the NAM looks much nicer.

Those new one-way roads look so much neater than the default textures and I will be downloading it sometime soon!

Great work frimi2. (Wanted to but two thumbs up but...)

EDIT: You can't open the link, just by clicking on it, you need to copy it to the addresse box.

Why has this FANTASTIC Project been secret all this time??? Thank you Frimi2 and Andreas Roth for telling the world this has been created. You have made my day frimi2. And because I love this so much, I'm going to download it via the link. Even though it's double the size. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

And Andreas Roth has said next to the link that you have to click the link with the right mouse button and go down to Save Target As.

[jglei701 8]

Ya know, funny story... I was just thinking the other day that I might get rid of the Euro-texture mod because there were enough textures missing that it just bugged me... and I'd go ahead with the old textures that came with the game.  And what to my wondering eyes does appear?  The mod, complete! 

 

Thanks guys!  A job well done!!

[Thorvin 2]

it's a good work ! Thanks to have finished the mod

[jeronij 13]

I just wanted to say THANKS frimi2 and Andreas for completing this great mod, and for making the game even better  !!!

The SFBT Euro Road Textures Mod by frimi2

Why has this FANTASTIC Project been secret all this time???

Well, this is the way the SFBT is working. Instead of spending countless hours of our precious free time in creating nice screenshots and progress reports, the time is invested in actually working on and testing the stuff.  Since we all come from Germany, our homebase is the German SimForum (SFBT = SimForum BAT Team), and we are discussing our projects there for the most time.

 

Anyway, I just uploaded the installer version to the STEX, and as I said before, it's only half the filesize to download. Get it here !

[bode 3]

In my excitement to install this, I've just noticed that the arrows on the roundabout are right hand drive.

Do I delete zzz4 to remove this?

[jglei701 8]

Question regarding the order of files...  With the 3x3 roundabout, I had ordered the textures for that AFTER the Euro mod because the textures simply didn't exist, and the roundabout didn't show up.  Can I now RE-order the files so that the 3x3 roundabout is read before the euro mod... and thus have the euro textures to override the original textures of the 3x3 (i.e., get rid of the zzz in my zzz3x3roundabout folder to make the textures for my 3x3 white instead of yellow).

[frimi2 0]

In the latest NAM all textures are in the NAM-File, there NO seperate texture-file for any roundabout. If yes, it is old and HAS TO BE DELETED

[jglei701 8]

OK, I think that answers my question.  I forgot, I think I moved the 3x3 roundabout OUT of the NAM folder so that I could use the euro texture mod (because otherwise it would have been over-ridden by the textureless-for-a-3x3 original euro textures).

quote>If you have once installed the NAM simply copy/install the zzz*** texture-files in the same folder, so they are loaded after the NAM-files and everything should be fine

[frimi2 0]

For people which use the LEFTHAND-drive Version of the Game and the NAM and the Euro-Texture-Mod ist necessary to rename the file

NetworkAddonMod_LEFT_HAND_VERSIONS_ONLY_Required_Additional_Plugin.dat

to

zzz5_NetworkAddonMod_LEFT_HAND_VERSIONS_ONLY_Required_Additional_Plugin.dat

 

That should work for the moment. Thanks

 

Edit:

For the missing Textures (which remain with yellow lines) I have to do some work

[Andreas Roth 607]

Additional hint: The installer version of the ERTM creates a subfolder in the NAM installation folder - just move the left-hand drive plugin into this folder after renaming it.

[Andreas Roth 607]

Ok another update: frimi2 created an additional plugin that contains all necessary textures for a left-hand drive version, so you don't need to move or rename the left-hand drive plugin from the NAM. Just extract the following file into the same folder as the other Euro Road Texture DATs.

Andreas Roth, frimi2 and Thorvin, you guys are genius's. I absolutely love your work! This mod has changed my game more than any other mod, and it has made it look so much better! I just want to say thankyou for making this game so much better and more local for so many people!

[AtkinsSJ_ 7]

Yeah! This is great! I don't think there's a single texture you've missed, and it makes such a visual change! Thankyou for a great mod! Too many exclamation marks!

Great work. I was already thinking how I could make some time free and help in any way to finish this mod... finally here it is.

I don't know if it's my installation, but I've seen that the zebra's are missing on road-street and  the avenue crossings.

Also the GLR-Road crossing still show's some yellow lines.

For reference, I installed just the NAM and ERTM.

 

But still, I love this mod.

[Buster 9]

Good grief! Great job, Frimi and Andreas. Two thumbs up! Heck, I'd give you four thumbs up if I could.

If there are still some yellow lines, please post some screenshots, so frimi2 can have a look. Regarding the zebra crossings, as far as I know, they appear only at road and one-way road intersections. This reflects pretty much the situation in Germany, where you wouldn't find them in streets, since there isn't enough traffic to justify them, and on avenue intersections with traffic lights, there are only dotted markings instead of the zebra stripes. It may be different in other countries, of course, but it's simply too much work to create textures for every individual country...

[sepsis 17]

A small request:

Any chance of making an overlay texture (for use in the LE) that's transparent except for the white stripes of a zebra crossing?

 

 

Maybe even two versions: 

- ordinary stripes  for any road/street/one-way:

 

- wider (longer?) stripes for avenues:

 

 

 

 

Keep up the great work!!

Ok, here is an image:

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//zebra_GLR.JPG align=baseline>

 

- The remaining yellow lines on the GL-Road intersection are marked red

- The missing Zebra's (to my opinion) are marked blue. I think they also miss on the avenue-crossings. Till now I've never seen dashed lines as pedestrian crossings in Germany (at least in the Landkreis Konstanz).

- Green I have marked some yellow stuff where I would prefer to see something other than yellow, e.g. white diagonal stripes: in Germany known as Sperrfl
