R.E.R. - Road Euro Revolution 2.0

Splendid Work
What a pity that it is available for default roads only so far.
One question, though: will it be possible for you to create a patch file of the European Road Signs that you used?

 

vampire,
Looks like some nice work, great that you did premade roundabouts as trying to do them freehand just never cut the mustard. Hopefully each connecting road to a roundabout doesn't create an intersection, that really was the biggest problem doing them freehand as that really slowed down traffic.

 

ok I add to those that require the R.E.R. even for American roads

 

I'm asking this again...after the main file does one use all other files at once or only one other file at a tyme ??? TNX

 

I just tried your roads and they look fantastic! BUT: they cannot be placed over water anymore, and also every other road cannot be placed over water

 

Tnx for the reply...I will enjoy this very much.

 

Hi vampiro. Wonderfull mod. What a lot of work it should have been. And the addition of plazas and pedpaths are fantastic.

2 notes if i may:

1 - You didn't include on road parking mod, which is a shame because those roads with cars give a very realistic feel. The sidewalks become a bright white (too bright).

2 - Do you have any idea how to isolate a road mod from the game files. I mean: there are some roads (like seawalls or farm road from alex) that live by their own. I would really like to keep spanish freeking roads available. I know you have included the best two of them, but i still miss the sidewalks.

Since both yours and monty mods are based on defaul game roads, they are not compatible. Maybe i am asking toi much, but yes, i would like to have the best of two worlds.

And since you've been working so hard on raods maybe you have an idea how to make Montys mod not target default roads and work like those otherv road mods that live by their own. Is there any setting in class files that can be changed in order to achieve this? Or does it imply using 3ds max?

 

The problem between my roads and any other mod based on default roads is that mine have custom sgbin files that have the same names as the original ones. so as long as you have my mod in your mods folder those 3d models are going to be replaced with mine. It would take renaming all the files and 3d models in max and re-export them,and then modify all the files that reference them. It's a hell of a task since there are over 100 road pieces and over 200 layout files in that mod.

 

Hi Monty. i was under the impression this would not be easy. I could help with the layout files (if this layout files are the ones included in the final patch, similar to class files). Maybe use the find and replace feature in notepad ++. Targeting a folder changes all the text in the different files in that folder (for example class files). As long as the replacements are the same for each file it is possible to target the folder and change all without having to open each one.

I have been playing with freakin roads and altough you said the mod wasn't finished, i find them really amazing and had no problems so far. Vampiro's mod is also amazing, especially since it includes some very nice plazas and pedpaths. And the historical set can really be usefull for old european cities.

Anyway, this was a wild shot. I guess i'll have to live with it. But if i can help with something please let me know.

 

Hi there Vampiro. I was trying patch 1.2 and it seems crossing problems if you have spanish roads also loaded are gone. So i guess there's a chance to keep both mods. In fact, spanish roads take care of On parking road mod and even get you some roads with the sidewalks from Monty!! And yours place a white sidewalk on the smaller ones. So i guess it's now more options for us.

I'm having no troubles so far. Both mods are amazing and somehow it seems they are compatible to some point. Which is more than enough for me. Maybe some people can try as well ans give some feedback.

Just another small thing: it seems custom pedpaths are placing a lot of duplicates in the menu, at least for me. Does it happen to everyone?

And please don't get me wrong. I'm saying this things because we all want the best mod possible. But i am truly appreciative of all this incredible work.
