Pounder's Completely Redone Railroads

[Pounder]

I am starting to make a second version of the railroads that will have a few buildings. I don't want to add to many buildings. I am trying to postion the buildings so they won't get in the way of the mines.

I have attached a sample of some of the buildings.

If anyone has any buildings they would like added, I would be happy to take a look at them.

One that I don't have that I would like is a an old train station, you know, basically a platform with ticket window.

Here is another shot showing how the buildings don't get in the way of the mines.

Here is another version with a larger palette.

Notice the brown railway ties.

Attached is an alternate Version V2.00, Version V3.00 is 4 posts down

Edit March 11, 2004: Version V4.00 is now on Post #46.

You will notice the railway ties are brown and I have added a few buildings. I have also made alot of the roads with more curve.

You will have to re-name it to 'railroads.pcx' (after you unzip it) and place it in the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Art\Terrain

Not bad but I don't like them veru much because they're straight and it doesn't gives you a feel like they are railroads!

Here is a comparison.

This is Version 3 attached to this post:

Be sure to backup your existing railroads file in case you ever decide to change back.

Very nice! what terrain mod is that? I like it but havent seen it

 

[Corn Shucker]

Only thing is since naturally in Civ3 the map is tilted a bit, shouldnt the rails be also? they look a bit flat as if you were looking strait down on them.

The terrain is one of Snoopy's.

I was going for something that had a few more rail features, like the railway ties. I am not very good artist and there is not a lot a pixels involved as the rails are only 6 pixels wide. Maybe there would be a better effect if shadows were added, that would be as big a task as doing the railroads and might make them appear wider.

If anyone can improve them in any way or show me an example on a few tiles, I am always happy for progression and improvement.

Actually, one of the thoughts I had were to add a few bridges where there are crossings.

Why you don't put some trains on the Railroads and trainstations!!!

I made a request for an old style train station and didn't get a response on the creations forum. I tryed to make one myself, just a platform with a ticket window. I was not happy with it.

This was the requested shape.
