Paved Roads

[Hadrean]

Hi
I have seen a lot of mods which are based on the modern world, MaxRigaMod, XX Century just to name a few that I have played and the thing that always bothered me was that they use the dirt roads which I don't think is right. so here I have made new paved roads. Please post your opinions about the New roads are they perfect? are they too bright? are they too dark?

Put the file into: My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\CustomAssets\art\terrain\routes\roads.
Or if you want to put it into your mod,Civilization 4/mods/[mod name]/assets/art/terrain/routes/roads if you do not have that folder in your mod, make it.

Those look very nice! It's surprising that Firaxis didn't do this themselves.

Thanks very much and yes, why did they not do this?

 

[MaxRiga]

Now if one of the Python/SDK gurus could figure out a way to change road's appearance based on era that would be the icing on the cake.

Yea but that could take a while.
I am thinking about re-doing the concrete road.

Hey Hadrean did u ever think of making bricks road and i love the asphalt road by the way

 

[tdphippsii]

Hey Hadrean did u ever think of making bricks road since that we have in town along time ago. i figured it would look cool if we had bricks has roads now if i was any good in art i would try but i suck at it

Roads are too dark in civ 4, good idea !

Cobblestone roads would be awesome as well.

These look great.

What would be really neat would be if roads started out looking like asphalt and then evolved into concrete depending on how long they had been around. Even better, what if they cost maintenance and you could skimp on it and, oh that's sim city, never mind.

I was going to do this next.

Yes I am going to do this along with the cobblestone if I have time.

 

[woodelf]

Cool. Thanks Hadrean.

the cobblestone road will not work because the road is so small and the texture just won't show up.

 

[GarretSidzaka]

Good deal, this is going in the revolution

Well you could probably increase the size of the textures, but that of course will have impact on performance, especially with something as commonplace as roads.

before I finish making roads I am making bridges for the roads then I will move on and make some more little things for mods to make them look a little better.

 

[tdphippsii]

cool and dang that the cobblestones didn't work out what kinda bridges are u making

I'm not positive, but this might be possible with the xml. I think I saw something similiar to this the other day - I'll take a look.
