Title: SNT - V. 2.0 available for download!
Post by: Akallan on June 25, 2017, 01:19:41 PM

Welcome to the Swiss Network Textures page, or simply SNT!



The SNT is a project that aims to create overlay textures that can then be used in the Lot Editor. The textures imitate as much as possible the road markings that can be found in Switzerland and the rest of Europe, which is why there are two different colors for pedestrian crossings in the textures: yellow for Switzerland and white for Europe. The aim of the SNT is ultimately to cover all road networks, be they those of Maxis or NAM, except the Maxis highway and NAM RHW.

The SNT is available on the exchanges of SimCity4 Devotion (https://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=3725), Simtropolis (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/32612-snt/) and ToutSimCities (https://www.toutsimcities.com/downloads/view/3335). There is also a short introductory video of the texture pack available on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLQAfs7CnUo&t=1s).

Attention, this pack of textures does not change the appearance of road networks in your city! It is limited for use in the Lot Editor which can be downloaded on SC4 Devotion or Simtropolis. You are free to use the textures as you see fit, if you want to create a mod or modify these textures you can do it without my permission as long as my name is credited in the download.

If you have suggestions or problems with the texture pack please leave a comment here, I will answer as soon as possible.

Below, the table that shows which network are covered by the SNT, those that are planned or not with the images of the created textures:

Top work Akallan

Road texturing is hard too get the hang of so my metaphorical hat is off to you  &apls

You where even able to find the IIDs. Something that is hard to do given the sheer amount of Textures in the NAM.

If you need any assistance please don't hesitate to ask  :)

Would I be correct in assuming these textures are Lot Textures? If so, what are your plans for them, to place TE lots to add these details? Because network textures have some limitations that you may struggle with with some of the pieces I'm seeing here. That's because the way the game works, it has no way of defining for example the AVE-2 piece with a zebra crossing. All tiles which are straight use the same texture, so either all can have a crossing or none of them. It's a similar story with the roundabout textures, if you keep the crossing on the roundabout tile, it will all be fine, but otherwise the next tile away from it will be a generic straight piece.

Of course you can use TE lots, but there are some limitations there too, mostly that two placed together will never be truly functional. In fact, without the SC4Fix.DLL file, you simply can't place two together in the first place. But that hasn't stopped others from using this solution to get the look they are after in-game, you should simply be aware of what will and won't work functionally. If it's just visuals you are after, then this need not be a problem. With networks there is a possible workaround by adding some new RUL code for these situations, but that's not a perfect solution either.

Regarding distribution, if it's in the NAM, you are probably fine to re-release modified versions of the textures. Generally speaking the NAM contributors are happy for people to be able to re-use their work. However I see Rivit's TSR streets there too, for those you probably want to ask Rivit for permission.

Yes I understand, I know that my textures can not be used directly for the application of draggable networks. I must admit that I did not really think about this option because for me my goal is simply to give a pack of textures of roads so that people can use them LotEditor. People can also modify them if they want to use the .jpeg images and create new textures in addition to mine.

But now that you talk about draggable network, you make me think of something: tells you that it is complicated to apply these textures on the draggable network, so why not create batches as it exists in the NAM, the "fillers", like this one:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fnsa37.casimages.com%2Fimg%2F2017%2F06%2F26%2F170626084801578319.jpg&hash=d75e183068ded2d581963b85e836e3e98bdc42a9)

This will make it possible to have the choice of its road texture, and in addition to having a road network that really works. I do not know the time it takes to create this type of lot, you know it better than I if it is feasible or not. I think that this is the best solution for my textures to be usable outside the eye-candy.

Indeed, I had forgotten that the streets were those of Rivit, I will make the request and I will make a more formal request for the part of the NAM. Thank you for this precision and time to write to me.

Yeah, having those textures available as decorative puzzle pieces would be create for anyone who wants to make her/his road system a bit more interesting, by adding lovely details and customizing the city even more, without the need of TE lots. Great work :thumbsup:

I hope that this solution can be possible, I can do it myself provided that I am taught how to do it. ()what()

Tonight, a little update with all the work done. For roads and streets, I made two versions each: with brands and without. I also intend to make roads and streets on a lane, but before that I will always work with AVE-2.

What do you think?

Is it possible to create roads with puzzle pieces like NAM?

Thank you and see you soon. :)

I know the standard NAM Team policy is not to make new Puzzle Pieces, but while is not a NAM project I like the idea of new Puzzle Pieces. I think there are areas, at least ground level, where they can be useful and nice additions. Like here with these pedestrian crossings.

I haven't seen this kind of quality and productivity on road texturing since the long gone times of Mandelsoft!  &apls


I have literally no idea abour the right way to integrate this to the overall mod scheme, but I know it deserves a place there.

Post by: Tarkus on July 06, 2017, 07:41:14 PM
As I mentioned over PM, this is some impressive texture work here--nicely done! :thumbsup:  Generally speaking, if a texture is included in the NAM, we're more than happy to see folks modify them to produce regional variants or textures that could be used for expansions to our existing content.

Regarding the implementation side of things, the traditional way to handle this would indeed have been a set of "Cosmetic Pieces"--essentially, conventional Static Puzzle Pieces (SPPs) used for aesthetic reasons, along the lines of what dedgren did with the Rural Roads Plugin (RuRP), and later, what MandelSoft did on the RHW side. 

As a few users have pointed out, the NAM Team has generally been trying to avoid further proliferation of conventional static puzzle pieces, mostly because of significant ease-of-use issues that our prior modus operandi of cranking out hundreds of puzzle pieces per release created.  Since each conventional static puzzle piece can only serve a single purpose, and there are so many components in the NAM now, there's no way to accommodate future expansion except to create more SPPs, and it basically turns into "rabbit breeding".

SPPs are okay when one is dealing with something that isn't intended to exist in parallel on other base or override networks, and/or don't seem particularly conducive to a draggable or FLEX solution, and they're certainly preferable to TE Lots or things like the old "automatic" version of the Road Turning Lanes plugin, which nearly killed the Network Widening Mod, Draggable Fractional Angle Roads, and the Draggable Elevated Road Viaducts.

Based on the initial prototype, that probably could have been safe SPP territory.  Once things started expanding, however, to plain Roads and Streets, plus Roads and Streets without markings, it reached the point where SPPs become unmanageable--on my count, you'd need just over 100 pieces to cover everything shown so far. 

Given the types of designs here, they actually fit with some existing NAM expansion plans that have been on the backburner, namely with intersection control variants (related to the SITAP project with the One-Way Road network), with plans to make the PedMalls/paths draggable, and with NWM/Roundabout crosslinking.  The only thing not really covered in those previous plans are the zigzag setups approaching the crosswalks, but those could easily be handled in a manner similar to what we're doing with the FLEX Turn Lanes, which would allow us to expand that functionality to other networks (i.e. NWM and SAM) without really needing to create any new pieces beyond the initial offering.

Hope that gives some insight into the NAM thought process.

It's not over yet, I still have a lot to do. To be honest, I do not know if one day the work will be 100% finished, there are so many different textures and possibilities that it scares!  :D

Tyberius06 :
I do not want to work with the NAM team, I do not have the skills to do this and I do not know if one day my textures will actually be applied in the game for the actual traffic, but I hope so.

matias93 :
Thank you very much for your support, the comparison to Mandelsoft is flattering!

Tarkus :
Yes I understand the problem of the parts SPP. In my opinion, I do not necessarily want to work with NAM because I do not have the skills to do this, I'm bad in computer science.

Since the beginning of my project, I only want to make textures so that other users can use them in the LotEditor or modify them as they like as for example a mod. The only thought I had since the beginning is to create his famous pieces "SPP", but outside the NAM, I do not wish to bore you with my project. The problem is that I do not know how to create a lot with several lots as you do for road or rail viaducts for example. If I am told how to make this type of lot, I can make a lot with several SPP parts and this would greatly simplify the list of lots in the SC4 menu.

Post by: mgb204 on July 07, 2017, 11:30:37 AM
The way I see it, and of course this is only one way of looking at it, a hybrid approach should work well here.

Parts of this would make a nice texture override, replacing some of the current NAM textures to add the little details you have made. But the potential problem with that is that it's an all or nothing change for those pieces, although that's not necessarily a bad thing. This is simple to do, you just need to give the texture the same ID as the one used in the NAM and load it after to override it.

Other parts would be best suited for TE lots, like the Zebra crossings/road markings, since there is realistically no good way to place those using a flex approach. The other solution, puzzle pieces, are no fun to make however, especially if you don't know how. I don't think the objection from the team is that no puzzle pieces can be added to the NAM, but certainly you would have to create them yourself. But without code for them in the NAM, no one would be able to use them. So unless you want to get into that, TE lots becomes the simplest solution to that problem. That's pretty much what I did for my Zebra crossings and it works fine. In fact, you could take my lots and override the textures to save you the effort of modding them. Currently that's only for the road network, but eventually I do plan NWM support and some other networks.

Similarly, there is nothing wrong with making some lot textures people can use to spruce up the look of certain areas with non-functioning eye candy too. Plenty of MDs have such details, because it's really the best way to add them for technical reasons.

One thing's for sure, the textures themselves are great and it would be nice to see them used well.

With the T21 method you could make some details change depending on the zoning so if implemented correctly you could have much more situation based scenarios. I am more than happy to work with you if you like  :)

This would tie in nicely with my Misc Modding thread (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=17809.msg518943#msg518943) and if you want we can work together on making a mod for the road markings.

Great and huge work here !  :o I like a lot this european feeling you put on this overlays, especially on the street/road transition.
I see you have put some tires mark on the yellow pedestrian crossing, but yellow make a big contrast with the black maxis asphalt, maybe to try to desaturate them a little ? ( just my advise ).

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your comments, it gives me great pleasure! :)

mgb204 :
I would be happy to see these textures used in the NAM, but this is not the primary goal. If someone wants to take them and make a mod, he can do it without any problems. I'm very bad for that stuff! Textures are very easy to make, but not modding ... &Thk/(

eggman121 :
The answer is yes as you already know. Help on your part does not refuse, thank you again! :thumbsup

manga rivotra :
Sure enough you are right, the yellow is a little too "flashy", I will see to mitigate a little colors soon, thank you for your comment! :)

Tonight I show you the extent of my work, this represents a total of 496 files and therefore 248 textures. I have for the moment finished working with these types of textures (temporarily), I have to do the textures of the street on the roundabout and then I will start the roads to one lane and streets to one lanes.

If you see defects or things to say about textures, I'm listening.

See you soon and good evening. ;)

Hi Akallan!

These are looking good again! The zebra crossing with the "island" is something very familiar from Hungary and I love it. Many ped crossings have the same method. So I can see some TE lots (however I don't know about modding stuff like this), well Puzzle pieces (as a separate cosmetic Addon) would be nice and useful.
By the way the Ave2 to Roundabout texture is something what I would like to see once somehow as part of the NAM. :)

Great job! Thanks for this!

Thank you for your comment Tyberius06, I hope this can be useful someday!

Tonight I have provisionally finished the textures of the OWR-1 (code "N13"), now I will do the same network but with textures of streets, OWS-1 -> One-way street (code "P22").

I did about a week ago a non exhaustive list of all the road networks to classify each textures correctly and never have problems among the hundreds of textures, here is the list (for those who wonder what is it All these numbers below the texture images):

------------------------------------------------------------------

M = Maxis
N = NAM
P = Personal Textures

   A00-xxx = Base of the current texture (only for textures)

   M01-xxx = Road
   M02-xxx = Street
   M03-xxx = One way road
   M04-xxx = Avenue

   N05-xxx = TLA-3
   N06-xxx = TLA-4
   N07-xxx = AVE-2
   N08-xxx = AVE-6
   N09-xxx = ARD-3
   N10-xxx = NRD-4
   N11-xxx = RD-4
   N12-xxx = RD-6
   N13-xxx = OWR-1
   N14-xxx = OWR-3
   N15-xxx = OWR-4
   N16-xxx = OWR-5

   N17-xxx = GLR
   N18-xxx = SAM
   N19-xxx = RRW
   N20-xxx = Roundabout
   N21-xxx = RHW

   P22-xxx = OWS-1


------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the new textures of the OWR-1:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fnsa37.casimages.com%2Fimg%2F2017%2F07%2F24%2F17072404392887022.jpg&hash=ef7eeb2f102e318b9db48be45f99d3632cd07842)

For this type of network, I did not create the intersections with the "stop" and the signal lights. For the sole reason that this will create the triple textures compared to the actual number, and that's way too much. The textures for the traffic lights are very easy to do, but the intersections "stop" take up a lot of space and this will create problems because I have to write "stop" on the road (on two squares of different textures, it depends of network. For example AVE-2 / OWR-1) and to add direction arrows. For this reason, I have to create textures much too specific and it would become a puzzle.

I can always create them in the future if people ask for it, but put them next to the main pack, as an add-on.

I am obviously open to criticisms or proposals of any kind.

See you soon! :)

Uh!  &apls &apls

I see here some configuration which is kind of missing from SC4. Those intersections where the OWR1s going towards to the intersection (road/streat) and drivers have to turn left or right on both sides, they can't go straight are very nice, I miss these stuffs from the game and from NAM too... (pictures: A00-24a, n13-09a, n13-10a)

It looks fantastic! :)  :popcorn:

If I want to, I can do more configurations, but then this will make me some fifty more textures (or even more) by type of network. It will become complicated! NAM I guess it's the same, making the textures is simple, but the modding is long and complicated I guess! :squirrel:

Thank you for your comment and support! :thumbsup:

Today I finished the OWS-1 network (One Way Street, 1 lane). Here are the textures:

I saw that already but I take the time to comment only now... It's an excellent project my friend ;D And I realize, those road textures with bus wiggles may be the perfect excuse to make a set of swiss bus stops isn't it ? I mean, to stay coherent with the general swiss theme. I have solved my late problems with Gmax and this kind of small things are fun and quick done, so if you want a can consider to make some. Send me some pictures if you want  ::)

Really great work on the OWS-1 network !
I always thought that this network should use street textures and not road textures, look like really more realistic like that.  :thumbsup:

Themistokles : Let me finish all the networks I want to do in orthogonal version!  :D

mattb325 : Thank you! :)

Krasner : Thank you, MP already! :satisfied:

manga rivotra : I agree with you, but I think both networks are useful. For example, if it's an old one-way street, then the OWS-1 is better. But if it's a one-way street on which the tar carpet has been redone, the OWR-1 is better. It all depends on the utility we have. :)




Today, just a small update, with some modifications made to the transitions (mainly OWR-2 on OWR-1), the addition of the end of networks (cul-de-sac), and a slightly bigger modification for The network of roundabouts.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fnsa38.casimages.com%2Fimg%2F2017%2F08%2F04%2F170804054745991577.jpg&hash=82f6a3ffac6c5b9f2a1ebc10c7571be30e76061c)

You may have noticed the presence of new networks, there is the OWR-2 / code M03 (one-way road of Maxis, two lines) with the markings M03a and without the markings M03b. It is now on this new network that I work.

There is also the new OWS-2 network (with and without marking, code P23a / b), this is the continuation of the OWS-1. This network is still at a hypothetical stage, I do not know if I will, but I think it may be as useful to have one-way roads two lines as one-way streets two lines.  I will think about it. ()what()

That's all for now, if you have any criticism or suggestions do not hesitate! :thumbsup:

Post by: Tyberius06 on August 04, 2017, 09:20:00 AM
Hi!

It looks great, however on the new networks M03a and P23a, I would put the lane reduction and giveaway markings to the other side (with RHD) and it can be like this with LHD... Based on that under RHD setup mandatory to use the Right lane (on LHD is the same with the left lane). But it can be used for a Road-OWR1-ish transition where the OWR1 is just a short section to slow the traffic down (and despite of its name it actually serves both directions). I saw a few of those back in Hungary, and here in England I regulary pass through such kind of transitions...

Tyberius06 : Yes, you are quite right. It is an error of inattention on my part, I corrected it, thank you.

Tonight just an image that presents all the networks created so far. I finished the network M03, and the network P23 arrives at the end, soon I propose the images. :)
The pedestrian crossings have changed color, in order to make them less fluorescent yellow. Now they have a tint rather close to yellow-orange, inspired directly by the color of the Swiss pedestrian crossings.

Hello, thank you very much for your comments! :)

Here is a moment that I did not come. The SNT project has not progressed much since I am working at the same time on a new video for Phoenix Project.

The work I have done for now is to redo all the traces of vehicles on the roadway. Before doing the job, the roads that were taken by the vehicles were badly done and wrong, I corrected the problem on all the networks I have created so far. The next job is to create new textures for existing networks with parking places and also a new textures for bus stops.

When all this work is finished, I will start new networks (AVE Maxis, a few SAM streets, maybe the OWR-3).

Here is an image of the work done with respect to the path of vehicles, this is the OWR-2 network. This is the network on which we see the most work done so far (look at the pictures of the OWR-2 of the previous update for you the difference with the new textures OWR-2 ;) ).

See you soon! :thumbsup:

Thank you very much. Yes it takes a lot of time to do, I do not think I'll finish the SNT before the end of the year, but rather early 2018! Crosswalks are used in many countries, but I did not know Hong Kong was using it too! ;D

Today, just a small presentation of the network N13 (OWR-1) that is completed. I redid the textures more accurately, the marks of passage of vehicles are cleaner and right, and I redid road marking.

I have to make the same changes for the network N07 (AVE-2) and then I will create a new texture set (Avenue Maxis).

See you soon! :thumbsup:

Hello, thank you very much for your comments! It makes me very happy! :)

Today, this is a very big update. Indeed, all the sets of textures I was working on are finally finished. I will soon start a new set of textures (Maxis Avenue - M04).

As I said in my previous update, my last job was to improve the textures of the set AVE-2 (N07), but instead of just improving it, I completely reinvented it!

Indeed, because the textures were completely pixelated and I could not stand to see them as well. At the very beginning that I started the SNT project, I took the textures of the Reader from the NAM files, but unfortunately they were not beautiful (I do not know why). At first, it did not affect me, so I create the set N07 without asking me a question, but for a few weeks I found them horrible. I did everything from A to Z. I even made pictures of "before" - "after" so that you see the problem through your eyes (it's the only texture set that had problems):

I'm doing a little update to show you some textures parts of the network I'm currently working on (M04 - Avenue Maxis / AVE-4). It takes a little longer to do than the other networks I've created so far, because it's two tiles wide. I will finish this network soon, then I will do the NAM TLA-3 network.

Good evening to all and see you soon! :)

Thank you for your comments manga rivotra and vortext. I hope that when my project is finished, it will give even more realism!

I just wanted to ask a question:
Where can I find the textures of the 90 ° turn (2x2 squares / 4 tiles) of Maxis Avenue? I looked in several files including those of NAM but it does not seem to have seen, so if anyone knows it would help me a lot.

And finally, here's a more detailed list of what the SNT project will cover when it's finished, or at least when it's first released:

Most Avenue textures were never altered from the originals and thus will not be found in the NAM files. You should look in the SimCity dat files instead, the reader has a special preview for such textures (Tools / Texture Viewer), Avenue should be in SimCity_4.dat. Bear in mind also, these textures are regular 1x1 in size, they are duplicated and mirrored to create the 2x1 sections.

Glad you still have pleasure in making this insane amout of textures.

I'm one of those "jamais content-people"; if a city or region I worked on for a long time is not going the way I want it, I tend to give up.

Hello, thank you for your comments! :)

Simmer2: You have the eye! :D
huzman: Thank you for taking all this time to see the details! It was a pleasure. :)
mattb325: This is the first time that I made a mosaic height more width (usually I only do height as in Phoenix Project). But it was less complicated than I thought and this allows to have a detailed overview on a single image. :)

Tonight, there are no beautiful city images, only the raw textures of the ARD-3 network. The network will be finished soon, it took me a lot of time (really a lot), because it is asymmetrical and each texture is doubled or tripled, you will understand better when I have published the list of textures soon.

This is the worst network I've done, today I'm happy to have done it but at first I did not realize the extent of the work ... And it very quickly tired me! When this texture network is finished, I estimate that there will be about 500 different textures (against about 300 textures for the largest network completed for now, the M03). /wrrd%&

See you soon! :squirrel:

To be a little more precise, there are exactly 507 textures! Sorry for the bad word game, but this network should be called "Hard-3" and not "ARD-3"! It's finally over, I'm happy to be able to move on. I still have 5 textures sets to do (OWR-3, SAM2, SAM7, SAM8, SAM11) and I can finally publish the mod on exchanges. Here is the list of textures of the newly completed network, the ARD-3:

In recent times, I have fun creating scenes with the textures of SNT. It was complicated to make scenes with my textures before that, but today I created so many textures that it became easy to make scenes. Here is an overview $%Grinno$% (I will publish again the next days):

Good evening,

Today I have a little problem that slowed down my work. In itself, nothing serious but since yesterday the thumbnail of my images are no longer displayed in the folder "Images". Instead of seeing a thumbnail with an image of my texture, I have instead of this a symbolic image that represents the format JPEG, PNG, etc ... Here is a small explanation clearer in photo:

(https://nsa39.casimages.com/img/2018/07/27/180727121940949278.jpg)

The line from above, the vignette is good. But the bottom line is not good, I have this symbolic vignette representing the format of the image.
I did research on the internet, but none until now allowed me to solve my problem. I did some cleaning of the disk, defragment the disk, search virus (you never know), several manipulations in the files, but nothing worked...

I also checked that the "Toujours afficher des icônes, jamais des miniatures" box (Always show icons, never thumbnails) was disabled.

(https://nsa39.casimages.com/img/2018/07/27/180727122723264238.jpg)

I'm a little short of idea, someone knows where the problem can come from?
Lately, I rooted my cellphone, I installed the Flashtool software on my PC. Can this have an influence?

Thank you in advance.
Title: Re: SNT - Problem (small)
Post by: rivit on July 26, 2018, 06:00:53 PM
Which version of Windows are you using?

  Windows10 (and I'm pretty sure all Windows versions) allows for icons or thumbnails in a view of a given folder - and it usually automatic - if its an image it will show the thumbail in icon views.

It is worth checking this -  another system performance setting affecting thumbnails - but for safety don't click any links on this web page.
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/thumbnail-previews-not-showing-windows (https://www.thewindowsclub.com/thumbnail-previews-not-showing-windows)

and make sure that File Associations (Default programs) are correct for images.

I suggest you try this out on a test folder, after checking the above
- Copy some images which need thumbnails to that folder then view in explorer

if the thumbnails in the test folder are OK ( they get made anew) then its possible the thumbnail cache has been affected in some way for your Images folder.

  The cache is stored at %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer as a number of files with the label thumbcache_xxx.db (numbered by size); as well as an index used to find thumbnails in each sized database.

You may need to kill the thumcacheb128.db off (your road tiles are all 128x128) to be able to generate the correct thumbnails again, but only do this as a last resort.
Title: Re: SNT - Problem (small)
Post by: Akallan on July 27, 2018, 11:52:10 AM
Hello rivit,

Thank you for your help, I have done all the manipulations you have proposed but to no avail. I am on Windows 7.

I also tried to delete the cache files, but nothing changed. The cache files returned automatically after erasing them and my thumbnails did not change either.
A small precision that I forgot to bring on the previous post: among the thousands of images that I have in the folder "Images" (those of the SNT and private images), some correctly display the thumbnail ( a very small percentage). ???
Title: Re: SNT - Problem (small)
Post by: rivit on July 27, 2018, 05:28:25 PM
Well Akallan,

    I'm now stumped - do all images in other folders (ie not "Images") display a thumbnail?

And how many images are in "Images"? - perhaps some limit has been hit?
Title: Re: SNT - Problem (small)
Post by: Andreas on July 28, 2018, 02:03:37 AM
This sounds a bit strange alright. If Windows is acting up for some reason, you can also use a program like XNView (Freeware), which displays thumbnails and stores them in its own cache.
Title: Re: SNT - Problem (small)
Post by: Akallan on July 28, 2018, 08:25:37 AM
rivit : I did the manipulations, but it did not change anything ... I have 5'800 image files for 2.88 GB.

Title: Re: SNT - Problem (small)
Post by: Andreas on July 28, 2018, 02:13:04 PM
5800 images in one folder? That might be a bit too much for Windows to display them properly, I guess. Maybe you can group them in some subfolders?
Title: Re: SNT - Problem (small)
Post by: Akallan on July 28, 2018, 02:22:07 PM
I have in my folder "Images" about 5'800 images, but they are grouped in 9 subfolders. And there are more than 90 subfolders in the SNT images.

Good evening everyone, today I come with a good (very good) new: the textures of the SNT version 1.0 are finished! I still need to do some editing on some textures, small details everywhere but otherwise everything is over. All the types of textures I wanted to do for the first version are done. Here are the images of the latest textures, the SAM 11 (industrial):

*Click for full size*
(https://nsa39.casimages.com/img/2018/10/01/181001094816470785.jpg)

I made an important change for the SAM 11. The basic texture is equal to the width of the Maxis road, and I narrowed it to make the textures the width of a Maxis street. This is to respect the rest of the SAM networks that are all the width of a Maxis street.

(https://nsa39.casimages.com/img/2018/10/01/181001095501732501.jpg)

Now that the textures are complete, I will have to prepare everything to convert the images so that they can be used in the Lot Editor. It will take me a few weeks ...

So see you soon! :thumbsup:

Kitsune : I already tried with this software, the small problem is that the textures appear randomly in the LE. That is to say that it does not go in the order that I want. Unless I used it badly ... &mmm


Here are the changes I made for all SNT networks (this is only an example with Maxis road) :

*Click for full size*
(https://nsa39.casimages.com/img/2018/10/07/18100702401357916.jpg)


There have been some changes made to all networks:
- Green logos to categorize and sort each type of textures (useful in the LE).
- Now, two options are available to you; yellow or white pedestrian crossing (european standard).
- Pedestrian crossings are no longer only available for straight roads and intersections, but also for turns and parkings.
- The road markings of turns with crossroad have been modified for more realism.

Brilliant job. This will be awesome when it's ready. Changing up road textures really breathes new life into the game and makes everything else appear much fresher  :thumbsup:

All the existing textures of the SNT are in this table, and I exploded the texture record with more than 4'000! It's amazing, I did not think I made so many textures! :D I think the SNT will be published on exchange for December if all goes well. After that, I will continue on the second version, with roads, street, OWR-2 and AVE-2 diagonals. See you soon! :squirrel:

It's been about three weeks since the SNT came out, but it still lacks many textures ... It's time to fix it, that's why we must not waste time! :thumbsup: Let's go to create diagonals of roads, streets, one-way roads and Maxis Avenue. A small sample with roads:

Hello everyone, excuse me for my long absence, the end of the year 2018 was very full! And thanks to all for your comments, I'm glad to see that the diagonal roads are enthusiastic! :thumbsup:

I finished the diagonal routes, here is the overview:

I am now working on the streets (and then Ave Maxis and one way Maxis).

Thank you for your comment mattb325! Why would I stop? It is true that these last weeks I am very little active, this beginning of the year I have a lot to do and I left to Berlin, but I am back and I will continue the SNT! ;D

Exactly ... I finished a small piece of the diagonal:

(https://nsa40.casimages.com/img/2019/03/04/19030409070377229.png)

Because a complete image is always more interesting:

(https://nsa40.casimages.com/img/2019/03/04/190304090702256455.png)

I also wish to make a small survey:
I find that cobblestone streets are missing in SC4, there really is only the SAM version for streets, but not for other types of roads. Do you think it's worth adding one of these two textures to the SNT, or both (for in the future)?

OWR-1 Cobblestone Streets:

Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I published anything ... For the simple reason that I went from Win7 to Win10, and I waited for the big sales on Steam to buy SC4 as cheaply as possible. Other games have come out in the meantime (Anno 1800 mainly), and I have not advanced anything to the SNT ... But I am back and, to show that the project and I are still alive, a small image Diagonal streets with parking:

(https://nsa40.casimages.com/img/2019/09/17/190917053040765024.jpg)

It's just to show that the project is coming back, not to show great progress. I do not know if I will manage to release the second version of the SNT this year, we'll see... :squirrel:

Post by: Akallan on September 22, 2019, 02:04:39 PM
Hello, I finished the diagonal textures of roads and streets. I will publish the second version of the SNT sooner than expected ... I would have liked to publish the second version only after doing the diagonal textures of one-way roads and Maxis Avenue, but the work is long and tedious, so I prefer to publish a first part. Here are the textures that will be added to SNT version 2.0:

(https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2019/38/7/1569187039-m01-01.jpg)

(https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2019/38/7/1569187037-m02-02.jpg)

There are not all types of diagonal intersection possible. I am already using these intersections and over time, if I realize that there are missing important intersections and often used I will add them later to the SNT. There are already 758 new textures just with what you see above!

Here is another picture with various intersections. I like doing this kind of schema, because with this I can see inconsistencies and forgetfulness:

(https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2019/38/7/1569187112-quad.jpg)

So the good news, the second version of SNT will be released soon! See you soon! ;D

For starters, the third version of the SNT should be available at the beginning of 2020 normally, with all the textures that are possible in orthogonal, as shown in this table (which can be seen on the first page too):

Total Textures :4'922
Last Update :24.09.2019

Legend
M = Maxis network / N = NAM network / P = Personal network





Once the third version is released on the exchange, I will make the diagonal textures of the one-way road Maxis (OWR-2) and Avenue Maxis (AVE-4). It will be a small version, but necessary... Because after this, I have a big project that I want to achieve and I think for several months, it is to create a mod with the textures of the SNT to replace the American textures of the Maxis and NAM networks by Euro textures. I think I will start creating this mod in the end of 2020, at least not before, and it's still just an idea. I will need some help with this project if the idea materializes.

Here is an overview of the work done since the second version of the SNT:

(https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2019/42/7/1571528123-snt-n09-ave-6-ex-5.jpeg)

The 3-tiles networks (AVE-6 and TLA-7) will be the biggest in terms of textures, but there is not much work to do, it's a lot of copy / paste.

When all 2-tiles and 3-tiles networks are completed, they will be fully compatible with each other. For example, it will be quite possible to make a TLA-5 / AVE-4 / AVE-6 / TLA-7 crossroad. Even though this is unlikely! $%Grinno$%

That's all for today, see you soon! :)
