  2. Let's go with some non-overplayed good old Iron Maiden in their absolute prime

  3. Show us What you're Working On

    Very nice! Agreeing with the previous poster about the subtle gritty feel, in fact it looks a bit DDR-creepy which I like Are the rail textures part of the bat? It would be better if they were overlay textures, since most users now use RealRailway textures or variants of that, and some use the original maxis textures. In that way it would be more flexible

  4. Prepping my First Region

    What does it look like with Draw Paths enabled? To me it looks like the texture is somehow missing, which is really strange. It works with SAM as well, at least PEG'S with the dirt shoulders or dirt roads. You could try that to see if the issue is with the texture. Otherwise, try with a clean plugins folder except NAM or re-install NAM maybe.

    @CorinaMarie I took the image from the "Base networks" NAM documentation available in Documents/SimCity 4/NAM Auxilary Files/Documentation/feature-guides. The top part of the image is the actual dragable pattern that should give you an s-curve.

  10. RLM Modular Motel System

    metasmurf reviewed RebaLynnTS's file in City-Builders Website's CB Files

    Even though we we don't have motels like these in my country (and which I'm recreating in SC4) I'm still going to use the park fillers which are brilliantly made in their subtle simplicity, which is way more realistic to me than most of the park lots on the STEX. Well done!
  11. Pure art.

    Trying out the new NAM toys. The ability to connect diagonal MIS to OWR-rondabouts was a great adition With the grid on to show the terrain work

  16. RRetail Development

    metasmurf replied to RRetail's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    The problem is that when exporting from bats (only in gmax? I'm not sure) textures get over saturated and colors blown out. See the histogram here So I just lowered the highlights. The blacks color in this picture in this picture are dead pixels, because it's blacker than black. I fixed that in the first image I posted but didn't bother to here. With a few tweeks the highlight clipping is gone Saturation fix for the blue/cyan color only So, it's more to it than just just making the textures darker. Most of this stuff (though not done the same) should be possible in GIMP. Maybe someone can point out to tutorials, I think there were some by gascooker at least back in the day?

    Quick and dirty edit, and I'm on my laptop with a mediocre screen, but I'd do something like this
  18. @T Wrecks I listened to Mandyilon back in the day. Been listening through the second album a bit, and there are some good tunes on there too. Gotta check out more of their discography. That Airbag song was nice. Will add to my playlist Believe it or not, good music is being made in 2018. Found this acoustic album by this band from the UK.
  20. Sometimes songs I haven't heard in a long time just pop up in my head randomly.

  21. SM2 True STR Sidings Vol1

    metasmurf commented on Simmer2's file in Transportation

    Thanks for making these. Will be really useful for me
  22. Not much music from the 80s can stand the test of time. But...
  23. Goth metal glory from 1999

  24. Simmer2's Lots and BATs Lab

    metasmurf replied to Simmer2's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion

    I really like the lot textures on this one. This is far more in line with what rail stations look like where I live than anything I've seen on the STEX/lex throughout the years. Very well done!
  25. This song is beyond words for me.
