buddybud

thanx as always...heres a few more...the first is the second completed piece...stairless rail onslope and the second is an idea...i like it..girders of sorts...didnt get the lods right...but you get the idea fun

id love to see something like this included... awsome work by the way edit...totally off topic sorry but.....100th post...lol

i could tell ya.......no... soon....i just learned how to apply textures properly....work in progress...so....nonope nada not happening...yet....eventually...sometime soon...something like that

heres a final on slope piece... first....what we want to change next ...the two one by one lots added....disguised as jeronij's embankment pieces...a corner and straight and what we finish with im tingling all over

prince_of_sims ya ...if you go to page four of my thread youll see i found a way to make sure they are level.....in relation to the slope of the trench....post there if you have more questions....i dont want to flood jeronij's thread with stuff about my pieces... and ya...unless you are a mac user you can change the embankment texture in le..... as for the ramps....i think i can but havent tried.....there is a thread by Mayor Ace....who was attempting that....i currently need to finish up what im doing....focusing on under nam and bridge pieces...there was lots of terrain to cover by the way thanx jeronij for your permission to use your texture...and the use of your thread...i got a hole in my head i gotta sew up......... pst...... thats why im so slow..lol edit heres an update https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//000003noddles.jpg align=baseline>

Author: Havenburgher Hi Jeronij, I'm not sure if this is technically possible, or if you're able and willing to create it, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Would it be possible to create 'overhanging' lots for your Concrete Walls set? Marrast's embankment set also has to of these lots. They are 1x1 lots but when you plop them they become 1x2 or 1x3 lots so that you can place them under bridges. Do you think this is possible? See also the picture for what I mean: quote> sorry to jump in jeronij havenburgher ...it is very possible im working on this same problem.....and heres a preview.... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//underthingy001.jpg align=baseline>.. i've been a bit slow getting these out but im almost there view my thread here... ------> Under Bridge Scenery

hey guys...as some of you know ive been developing some eyecandy overhanging prop lots to go under nam and land bridges... some of you might not have noticed it cause it started as an inquiry in a different thread...and i just kept posting there... its a nice quiet corner of the forum and im very lazy any hoo....i'd like to get some feed back on the design etc before i finallize it all....since it was made to compliment all your hard work here come visit and let me know what ya think.. UNDERBRIDGE SCENERY ..i focused on industrial area cause im new to all this and have been learning as i go along... heres a picture of my latest to intice ya all https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//0001NASTYness03.jpg align=baseline>

well with the above discovery (for me atleast) i'm now able to make some nifty somewhat comforming props... problem is there is tooooo many combinations....slope,over,under .... so i guess i probabably will only release a couple lots for these type of tight underpassesl but include all the props so people can make there own combinations....otherwise it would be like sixty lots or something..lol heres an example.....the first piece is a 1x1 lot with three props....the first variable is the texture....diagnal or straight.. the next variable is the on slope piece...again atleast four possobilities....single double rail or road then the intersection props....which gives you another six or so possibilities.... the second is just a basic one prop on slope combined they are a rail over rail interchange... heres a couple pictures of them in use gotta work on the textures abit...

hey snowpap...if you can do that in autocad...id bet any money you could learn bat and get these things made before someone else does it for you.....theres some good tutorials around and you obviously have some talent for modeling.....just a thought..good luck

its not a matter of rush hour or whatever... its only props.... they're almost finished....i have to redesign the 5 onslope pieces and make 3 more terrace pieces...two different props for two lots... then just set up the pieces....probably another week minimum...cause i work dont ya know so ya theyre not available yet...close though also its decieving cause this thread is no longer relevant where it is...it should be moved to bat developement or such....it started out as a querey into overhanging props and underbridge scenerey.....there was almost no content so i decided to create some...so the thread has morphed into my bat development.... though i still encourage anyone to post their ideas or especially their designs to share....input is always good....cheers

another update...though a setback...which led to a solution..which results in re-rendering... heres what i mean... below is a picture of my terrece pieces under a land bridge...looks fine but theres a big limitation ...the lots with the props have to be on the same slope as the bridge this wasnt a big issue for most of the pieces since they were designed to be on land with only slight variations in its hieght... however i found with the terrace pieces (which are intended for a more extreme difference in height) they were far to limited... there is a solution ...looky here ill try to share this with you..it might help some of you batters below is a picture from bat of a 1 x 1 underbridge lot i finished i photshoped in the x-y axis with the 16m increments (a lot is 16m by 16m in game) the big blue square represents the 16 x 16 m area you would normally place your models (not overhanging) the dark yellow is my 1x1 overhanging prop...logically i offset it to where i want it to sit in relation to the lot i will eventually place it in. the light yellow square is the foundation (& stairs) below ground level that appear if the lot is not on level ground....you can see how that looks in previous posts take not of the 0,0 position this is what you get once rendered the prop and placed it on a lot the first instance is fine cause the land is near flat the second and third however dont work at all....(the model wasnt meant for this...but you get what i mean...i hope) whats happening is the propis aligning itself to its original 0,0 position (before rendering) in relation to the slope of the lot its placed on see... so i thought of this and really dissappointed i didnt see it earlier below is the new terrace piece i made.. notice how i moved the corner of the model to the 0,0 point so this is what i now get... this is a 1x1 lot with two identical terrace props from above notice how all the pieces sit alligned regardless of the slope of the lot the props are on whats going on is that the 0,0 point (pre render) now sits at the corners where you want your pieces to align to..see and that allows this...horray ...essentially the slope of the placement lot can now be variable... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//BatPropPlace08.jpg align=baseline>

no...thats not a rail texture...its not mine...its Modern Concrete Diagonal Walls by jeronij ....i think its supposed to be steel wound wire supporting the base....i personally have seen this kind of thing on occasion....though more often in a diagnal position than horizontal....but it is actuall structurally accurate...even though it looks like rails...lol yes...eventually....though id be more than happy to see someone else do it ...

thanx again all...anyways...small update... finished the onslope pieces....5 in all i did end up moving and cutting to accomodate roads-etc... now just a couple of terrace pieces for stretches under land bridges....and im done well almost....gotta set up the lots in leprop, ireader etc.... still gotta say its coming together.....any criticism is welcome at this point

warlock...most of those pieces can be found in the massive japanese bat thread...somewhere...if you find them just change the base texture to dirt or whatever....i just made the long straight pieces pretty much....maybe ill do more with it eventually....but its not really mine as it stands... i finished two new pieces...only six more to go...this is two rail on slope pieces...ill do a double also...then just the road pieces and a couple terrace pieces for under long under bridge stretches...lol....almost there https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//000001nasty.jpg align=baseline> i think ill pull the base back towards the wall....dont know..what ya think https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//000002nasty.jpg align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//000003nasty.jpg align=baseline>

i'm looking forward to doing more of this....collector lanes...if we could only curve themhttps://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//0001AWOWHOLYCRAP.jpg align=baseline>

this is just a 'dry run' for toxicpiano.....the textures and models are crap ...or as you say beta... toxic...let me know what you want textures, models, or just advice....later ps..you wont get planes (automata) on an overhanging lot...just a reminder

just thought id share this...love the new nam pieces... i haven't used this ingame yet.....but these feeder lanes work right?.....cause i love the way it looks..... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//0001AWOWHOLYCRAP.jpg align=baseline>

i really cant believe this....you do have a site with pictures....here it is atomius site...with pictures....really i still cant believe it...though i must say it is about as informative as your posts..one bunny for the effort....good work...

how'd you do that....lol...nice work so far

for toxic piano.....anyone else....no it doesnt work....he just wanted to see what it would look like..... i for one think this would be very cool if functional https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//0001Toxicguy.jpg align=baseline> salehsamee....great ideas but way over my abilities....... though from what i read this sort of thing may be possible from whats posted on the diagnal dirty roads thread....i however also prefer the flexibility of lots....i can run canal pieces easily under these...put buildings etc....what im doing is about as basic as it gets.....colourful blocks to fill up space really....think of what someone with true skill could do...design walkways, parkareas, parkinglots...etc....again all eyecandy...but i still prefer it over the plain green square approach

lol...here we go again

thanx smoncrie.....ive had to sleep and work since last post....glad to see ya toxic....hope it works for you....was about to render but i guess theres no need now..lol...

my props dont actually have network textures.....so no...i cant, wish i could https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//0001sorrycant.jpg align=baseline>

thanx vandy toxic...im confused...could you explain further..heres the pieces without the nam bits is this what you want...or did you notice this...one half of elevated road and avenue pieces dont show up right with a prop underneith.... i asked about this to tropod and i was told it was a problem within the nam model but would be abled to be fixed for the next nam cosmetic update if its something else please explain further...ill gladly post pictures a plenty https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Snaggle09.jpg align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Snaggle10.jpg align=baseline> edit...or may be simply this...if not im truly stumped https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//0005diagypreview.jpg align=baseline>
