City Terrain

[Kenta'arka]

I made this once for a Gangwars Mod, I was working on. As I won't complete it in the near future, I decided to post at least the completed graphics, for those who work on similar mods.

The Terrain replaces Mountain (for residential blocks) and hills (for some spacial buildings, I explained how use it in the readme). Additonal Rivers are replaced with water pipes.

Hey, nice idea!

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Nice. I don't really like those water pipes though.

 

[Pounder]

Interesting!

Just a thought, I notice you hadn't complete the pipes. Maybe you could replace the deltas with pumping stations or sewerage treatment plants.

Any thoughts to roads and railroads, some interesting alternates could be used as overlays. Cars, subway station entrances, etc...

 

[Kenta'arka]

I'm didn't made the river deltas because I had no use for 'em
Like you can see on the screenshot, I was working on roads, but I didn't finished them. I wouldn't use railroads in a city scen, will get boring.

All I was suggesting was to use the railroads file to provide overlays, to add maybe (for example) something like stairs going down to subway station (all you would see would be the entrance, not the actual rails). Just something to indicate that an improvement was made to the tile.

Hmm, sorry but I don't understand that...How could you use the railroads to generate overlays? As you can't remove the 0 movement cost effect, the railroads, no matter what they look like ,will always have the movement effect. Just if you put just one tile at a time, and make them unbuildiable...was that what you meant?

 

[Pounder]

I didn't know you didn't want the effect of railroads (zero movement cost). I simply thought to replace the railroads with a series of icons to show that the tile was improved (indicating zero movement cost).

Still looks interesting, can't wait to see finished product.

I made a few changes to the hill terrain, just some copy-pasteing actually... See them here. I've also done some road textures, I'll be posting a picture of them later today.

ps. Please contribute to the citymod with ideas, or even drawing graphics ;-)

 

[Kenta'arka]

I noticed your changes to the hill terrain, so you don't use the spacial buildings? I used them as "recource placement" thought it's funnier to actually control a military depot, you can see on the map, than just controling a symbol that tells you, there is a depot.

I read the city mod topic, and I will add some ideas from time to time, but I got no time to make more graphics, sorry

How about replacing the water pipes with Power and Communications Lines, then Irrigation would be replaced with Overhead Lines, making more Power/Resources availalable to whatever you've replaced Cities with. (Gang houses, Police stations, whatever…

 

[Goldflash]

Hmmm.. are thoes building grpahics ripped from railroad tycoon II?

 

[Kenta'arka]

Yep, but I modified most of them.

it would be nice to use in a berlin wall mod or something.
