Excellent work guys!  &apls

I'm also curious to see if gn_leugim's cyclical technique can be integrated into other VIP MMP work--sounds promising!

Maarten's requests would be useful to me as well  :thumbsup:

The vote looks like a plebiscite .... so let's go on . :)

@ mrtnrln (and riiga ) ; the Swedish Signage MMP is available .



I've used all riiga's models , so this is a 20 stages MMP ( 20th being a ghost piece ) , stages order as following :




Zip file attached at the end of this post ( you can't see it with a guest status ) Of course , you need the dependencies linked by Maarten on the previous page .

Having still nothing to study from gn_leugim , this MMP has been made with Orange_o_'s method ( a ghost piece at the end of the sequence ) . I don't know how to proceed from that point :  it could be considered as a Beta version , but I'm rather sceptical about  an endless cycle MMP  modding ... In that case , it will be the definitive version and could be uploaded on the STEX as a part of a VIP European Various Countries MMPs Signage , with the English and German signage MMPs I'm going to build as requested by DanniBee and Maarten .

That said , I'll still ready to study any other request . ;D

May I propose also my polish set?  ::)

I could also make extra direction signs (small pack made by bkl is avaible
http://www.simcitypolska.pl/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=215), or convert some of them (or all) into diagonals if you have enough time. And if you think it would be reasonable.

Thank you for visiting Kolbrów, and for being for last ten years!

@Badsim
Awesome work Cédric!
I need to make a full set of Swedish signs some day though, seeing as the props aren't as high quality as I would like, but I can only blame myself for that. :P

@ riiga  : Just do it and I will follow you !  ;D

@ kbieniu7 : I need to remember my Loggin settings at Simcitypolska , but it shouldn't be an incontrovertible problem ....  ;D




mrtnrln UK MMPs are ready for testing ... I need your collaboration for that , because I'm working with a virgin Plugin Folder to go faster , and , to tell you the truth , I'm not a specialist of RHWs ....  $%Grinno$% . Report here any encountered problem ...

Like the previous one , these 2 MMPs have been made with Orange_o_'s method : a ghost piece at the end of the sequence .

Coming next : the German set ... I'll still ready to study any other request . ;D

I will test the UK ones for any problems, thanks so much again ViP team, you are the best  ;D

gn_leugim

I have replied and sent the information I gathered after some hours remembering and trials as this thing, if I recall, I found it some years ago, at least 2 years. so I ha to do some homeworks ^^

I have to say I bring one good new, and a bad new. But I'll way for some official VIP reactions to say further  ::)

@ mrtnrln$%Grinno$% That's not an easy nickname for someone dyslexic !  :D ( I didn't know that I was ... &Thk/( )
Well , my apologies , Maarten , that's another good reason to make Beta versions  ;D... Everything should be right , now .  :P

Sounds more than interesting , in fact it would be revolutionary ... I've never seen such endless MMP so far ( or they should be all Modded that way !  ::) ... ) . The only thing I've tested was to add a Cluster Radius property to the last examplar ( normally they haven't any ) of the sequence  , linking it to the first examplar and the result is indeed an endless MMP , but then the first examplar of the sequence only is working .


I have tested many things since and nothing works so I confirm that I'll stick with Orange_o_'s method ...

Thank you DanniBee:thumbsup:

For the time being, it only works with one item, and not a full chain, but is still a good matter to try on some more deeper trials :p

I'm trying out some of the MMPs and I'm experiencing one major problem: it's hard to let the signs point in the right direction, it just happens at random. Any tips for this?

Start a new sequence after the ghost piece ... the kSC4FloraParametersProperty is modded to allow several  new sequences as close to the same place than possible ...  ;)

As suggested by Maarten , pitti's German RHWs Signage MMPs are ready for testing , Zip file attached at the end of this post , dependency at Simtopolis : http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/25830-german-autobahn-signs-for-rhw-4-x/

More than ever , these 4 MMPs are touchy to use , as most of these models are offset ... I've done my best to be logical with these 4 sequences , making their use as easy than possible . ::)

Before to go further with these MMPs , and before to see arise there any controversy , I feel that's necessary to give some precisions .

As I'm discovering pitti's ( and some others) work on the STEX , I'm discovering the complexity of SC4 roadgeeks ( that's how they call themselves  :P ) life ... After a lot of patience to build their R.highways networks with the tab. key , they have to scroll through tens and tens of signs LOTs available in their menus ... These MMPs have to considered as complementary but , in any case , they will not replace LOTs . You'll certainly spend as much time with them , clicking to get the desired sign with the proper orientation as you would have , scrolling to find the corresponding LOT ... right . Not to speak that the pros and cons will be mainly of question of personal preference ( after have LotEdited hundreds of LOTs for my own use , in my opinion MMPs are a godsend ) , they will allow you to plop signs on already occupied places . I've also discovered , with Citymax's directional signs , that night lighting is lost with MMPs ... good to know , as I haven't time to check myself among all this stuff , what has night lighting or not ... ::)

MMPs modding is quite simple and rather quick to do ... but so boring when it come to mod so , hundreds of models . So consider that I'm working for those who intend to use them knowing the pros and cons , but I will not waste my time to explain , justify , convince , or simply repeat endlessly what I've already wrote , and so I will request you to read that whole thread before to post and to post  suggestions , advices or intrinsic MMPs problems ( it has some bugs or not , as simple as that ) only . From that point , I'll release all requests ... ;)

You can also contribute to that works , providing me translations for   LTEXT files in their respective language ... write them directly there and I will use Copy/Paste . Thanks ! :thumbsup:

Coming next : the Polish signage set , linked here by kbieniu7 ...

I can happily report that the British set work fine. I have been able to get every sign to sit in the right direction (with a lot of mouse clicks :P) and they can look really great overhanging onto a sidewalk. Thank you very much ViP team and have a great Christmas :D

Ol.S / Benoit

Great work with those MMPs :) Didn't tryed them yet but as soon as I can... Thanks Cédric :)

@ kbieniu7 : Sorry for the delay ... I've been busy and I'll be busy with RL for the 3 next months , but the promised Polish signage MMPs ( LOTs for advanced planning are done ) are my priority and will done in the coming days . Thanks for your patience . ;)

@ DanniBee and Benoit , Thank you ! :thumbsup:

Nice work on these signs, especially the UK ones. ;D

Are you planning on making any more UK signs, as there are plenty more that would make excellent MMPs. ;)

Cédric, it doesn't matter! I'm not impatient in any way, because I now, modding and creating some stuff need time and RL is more important. I'm very grateful to you for modding them, so rather I should say "thanks"  ;)
