Could someone do a 6x6 large cities custom map like this: http://img109.echo.cx/img109/2577/image11hw.gif align=baseline> Where blue is water, light green is flat-ish land (but with some shallow hills), medium green has rolling hills, steep enough to require cuttings for highways using the BRF slope mod, and dark green is steep rolling hills, but not too steep? Ideally the red line indicates a point on the river which can be spanned with a single-span level bridge (this is where my main city would develop). TIA :-D

I've got a new nation at http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/97315/page=display_nation

If anyones interested, I've started a nation here: http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=denhulme I think I may have a go at building simcities to fit in the nation, and do a writeup on the nswiki at http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page - a sort of city journal plus.

I have problems with slope graident and water restrictions with existing wall lots :-S

Is no-one testing this mod?

Thorvin - Did you use the one way streets texture as a base? If so the alpha map on the largest of the straight one way road texture was missing in the game, so you need to copy the alpha map from the standard straight section to your new FSHs.

http://www.geocities.com/leebraden1986/uk.zip The above link is a download for the first alpha of the UK road textures mod. It is far from complete. If you download it could you please report back a) Any bugs with textures I've changed and b) What remaining textures appear most often, so I can prioritise what to change Have fun

Re: The Urban/Rural difference My understanding is as follows When a zone develops, the texture on the road tile adjancent changes to the appropriate pavement. The road texture is then overlaid on top of this. The reason why there are 4 different types of road texture is for the different shades of grass that appear on diagonals, so the 4 textures are Full Pavement/Dirt/Nothing, Pavement with $ Grass, Pavement with $$ grass and pavement with $$$ grass. So I don't think differentiating between urban and rural is possible.

This will be a rolling project - there will be no final release. When I've done enough textures for it to look good IMO then I'll stop :-) I have an alpha version which I would like people to try out, but I have no-where to host it. It is greater than 250kb, so attaching it won't work, and I don't want to put it on STEX just yet - it is only an alpha version, so if anyone could help out here I would be very grateful.

It would save a fair bit of work, and the double yellows are similar to double white lines we have in the UK, so it gives a bit of variety, especially to more rural areas.

Swamper77- Yeah sure, that'd be fine.

Neither are photoshopped

Swamper77- Would this help? ;-) https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//zebra.bmp align=baseline>

MayorBean - My image is photoshopped In the UK there is normally one signal on the left in front of the junction, and one on the right behind the junction. Overhead signals are rare, confined to dual carriageways, and placed in front of the junction. Hope that helps.
