EDIT:: 18th post for newest version.

I was using cassembler's thin roads when I noticed that I could not see them very well against Sn00py's terrain. What I did to the roads was add a whole new texture to them. They not only look better than the very original roads, but they are also easier to see against different terrains you might be using.

I also do want to thank cassembler for creating these thin roads. They look good no matter what the texture. :)

Here is a low quality JPG preview: :)

Also, if anyone wants me to add the same texture to the very original roads (the thicker ones), let me know. I am also experimenting around with lots and lots of different textures so I may upload some different versions of the roads. If I don't, don't be surprised because I really like these here.

Here is the file itself: :)

Interesting, the black in the road looks kind of odd though.

But not a bad look at all IMHO. :)

Thanks, Gogf. :)

As for the thick roads, I'm trying to find the pattern I used for the thinner roads because I was doing something else and therefore I changed the pattern. It may be some time before I find the right one. ;)

I tried to make the texture on the thicker roads match the texture of the thin ones as much as possible.

How about some thinner railroads :)

These look great, btw.

Thinner railroads would be great but no idea how to make them thin...remember, I didn't actually make the roads thin, cassemble did.

Thanks guys.

One thing, what's what the black in the roads?

It could be darker soil...Er, horsie residue. ;)

There wouldn't be that much horse residue, and darker soil doesn't appear black. I've never been on an un-paved road in my life which has that much black in it.

Well, changing the black into a dark shade of brown was a one minute job.

I changed to a different texture now. There are not as many black spots on the roads as before.
