Light Replacement Project - Version 2 released! 06/25/2008

[MandelSoft]

Some of you may know the LRP, but for those who don't, here's a introduction

The're many mods that change the look of the transport networks, like the Street Side Mod and the Euro texture mod. But you couldn't get rid of those streetlights from Maxis, until this project came out. The mod is based on the Streetlight Color Pack and the SMP Highway light mod (it's great stuff!). These mods are now not compatible anymore with the LRP (because these files are kind of "outdated").

FAQ's

1. Can the lightsets be combined?
Yes. For every wealth type, you can place one lightpole, for example, you use the German High Wealth lights in combination of the UK medium wealth lights.

Hey Mrtnrln its great to see you bring LRP here as well and I do have a buggie report for you is that the Highway lights in my version are not working and I have the current version out, all I get is the Pegs Opps modd where the light cones are susposed to be...

[MandelSoft]

@pat: I think i should re-check every file. Thanks for the bug report!

[Pat]

I will check again when i get back home and your welcome!!!

I think he's just given it a break to work on a guardrail RHW eye-candy set, but he should be back with this awesome mod soon!

[jayo]

That looks great I will certainly download 

[Pat]

I Dunno here mrtnrln Im still having problems with the Highway lights as of the other day...

[MandelSoft]

Actually, from now on, I focus my attention to the LRP. I've released an Alpha version of the Guard Rail Modd on the RHW-topic.

Yesterday I got a plan. Maybe I can release the lights per style or wealth type, and not per version, as it is now So I added a poll, as you can see.

Also planned:
- A file which makes a standalone prop from every lamppost
- Edit T21-exemplars, so you have differrent light on different roads and densities
- Add functionallity to Intestate80's models

The LRP is back on track

Best,
MRTNRLN

[Pat]

I'd say do the wealth levels 

[MandelSoft]

WOW! 100th Post

In this post I announce that some lampposts will come in four different colors (red, yellow, green and blue).
Because they have the same IID you can use only one color (per light) at once.

The lights which will have colorsets:
- NL $ light (single- and doublesided)
- NL $$$ light
- UK $ light (single- and doublesided)
- German $$$ light (single- and doublesided)

A picture from what's already done

Hope you like it!

Look at the lights from Interstate80, there is some awesome developpement going on:
http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=3297.0

These lights will be included in the LRP

And it looks clear that the lamp style sets are prefered.

[MandelSoft]

Well, the ITC-Team tested the new Dutch and the English pocket and for them they worked fine.

[grey_wolf07]

Nice job... now the only thing you should do is traffic lights... now that would be a good replacement...

[Rodney99]
