Yeah, it's I, the great Kulade again. This time I've made an edit to my eariler urban graphics. The major changes are the buildings and the roads. Buildings are now the same as in the Industrial Sprawl type railroads and the roads are pavement with lines and such.

Readme included. I think...

That is an issue, see the roads have to be one square, but I don't want much space in between the buildings and pavement so it ends up like that...

Looks good....but in the future don't post preview as a picture but as a link because here are some people with dial-up including me.

Try giving the road some texture. Right now it looks too painted-on.

@Corey
Sorry 'bout that, I just want it to big enough to see all the stuff, but its over the limit for the attachments.
@MSTK
Keep in mind that my key art program is MS paint! It's hard to make every thing look this pretty! But I'll see what I can do.

I'm not sure you can add texture on paint. Try taking a picture of a real road and looking at all of the bumps and gravel, etc...and you can see what I mean.

For example, the grassland tile isn't just one solid color, it's a blend of many.

This would be cool for a scenario or mod totally devoted to urban warfare. With all cars and walking guys and planes.

Limit the units to the prescriber roads (or make off roading very costly) and disable walking across buildings.

Yep...that would be cool. Too bad I'm busy.

I agree, the roads don't fit in with the buildings. I like the building set that came with these roads better anyway

@Ekmek
I was thinking about that, and maybe I'll make it so there is only one building per square.

@Goldflash
I have Gimp
I have Paint Shop Pro
I have I-mage
I just don't know how the hell to use them!

@kulade

Save your preview pictures as jpegs and compress/resize them! There is absolutely no point in wasting one meg of Thunderfall's server space for a preview pic! I still remember that urban graphics thread from early december where you uploaded 7 megs of preview pics (3 pics in total). Do you realize what would happen if everyone would do that?

It's not hard to do it, just select different format (jpeg) when saving the pic.

For example, in Paint shop pro. Open pic and select "save as"
Select "JPEG - JFIF Compliant (*.jpg,*.jif,*.jpeg)" from the drop down menu
Then select "options" and give it ~10 compression factor.

Then save the pic. As a result, it takes ~250KB instead of 1 meg it currently takes.

I'm going to use these in my Escape from Zombie Island scenario. Great work Kulade. One question tho' what are the "jungles" supposed to be?

I've posted some screenshots on the zombie thread so people can see how Kulade's terrain looks in-game.

I love the terrain. Been playing KingArthur's marvelous Zombie mod, it works great. The advantage of the big roads is that units (esp tanks) fit well on them.

If you do change anything I think changing the buildings rather than the roads is a much better idea.
