good guide, thanks I would like to know more about traffic I'm not sure how to place the roads efficiently with all the different type of roads available.

that's a great idea. if only someone could write that program. i have very basic skills in visual basic, but not enough to do that one problem with that is that it's good for all the new plugins - users can just include all dependencies with their plugins - or there would have to be some kind of database with all the plugins associated to required dependencies (all on the same server)

Someone should really re-think the whole mods, bats, lots etc. system. It's really annoying to get files that have dependencies. 1 or 2 dependecies isn't bad if they're easy to find. But it really sucks when there's 10-20 dependencies often posted on various sites, needing to log-on to each site. And some dependencies are really hard / impossible to find making the mods/bats unusable. why not include all the dependency files and the bats/etc... in one package ?? then there's the problem of having all that clutter in plugins folder.
