Kwanyoni Bridge ... keeping it basic

[jeronij]

The standard game transit textures need to be corrected before using them in the BAT/GMAX 

The textures attached to the tutorial post are corrected, and will look better ( but not perfect) in the game.
Colyn, ,
If you want to use non corrected textures, you should correct them yourself.
My system: 
1st:  Convert the texture to grey scale.
2nd: Brightness -25
Save and use.

I plan to correct all the missing textures and attach them to the tutorial as soon as possible   Done ¡¡¡

Jeronij and or Colyn,
i was wondering if its a height issue or what.  But i did use the
Kwanyoni Bridge which i do love.  But at this height it put in the maxis pylon
and well it kinda is sad to see it.  so heres a pic of what I'm talking about.
If that is the case is there gonna be an addition or should i find a way to lower the
bridge height or just hide the pylon? Any help is helpful - pat

[jeronij]

pat, second option

Pat ... I specifically designed the bridge to be only able to go 45m or so ... even that is haigh already for a timber post bridge. Kwanyoyninu looks at it's best if the stone footing just sticks out above the water.

I am working on the road and rail versions and will do some samples of how to use them.

Here is a shot ...



The endpieces should not protrude much and the low stonewalls that are hanging free in your shot is also not good.

Placing a bridge in SC4 can be an art by itself sometimes  , and really time consuming 

I remember I have spent hours literally placing and detailing a bridge ( SCR ) But once is done, is done forever

Jeronij and Colyn thank you guys for the quick help.  I was going try to rework the bridge height and adjust the start/end piece as i noticed it when i zoomed in and after when colyn you had pointed it out lol.  Well i was adding the rain to flood the area and the my game crashed to desktop. Oh well but at least now i got more of an idea to place the bridge. I will post the redone shot once i can get it lol- pat

This bridge is great, Colyn.   I can seen Sir Alec Guinnes standing on the side of this bridge.   Like in Bridge on the River Kwai [ linkie ]     It has a striking resemblence to that one.  (whistleing the theme song Click on music on the link above)   One of my all time favorite movies.  LOL    We DEFFINATELY need a rail version.   Perhaps you could put in the overhead supports like in the Kwai River bridge.   That would be very kool indeed.
