Vampiro project: R.E.R. - Road Euro Revolution

Simply, I had just started to correct some issues on an old road mod (author Skimbo) only for myself.
At the end I rebuilt all including default roads.

I changed lamps and furnitures...
I created european streets signs...
I added new road shapes and roundabouts...
I rewrote layout files...

This mod will come with 5 sets of roads:

1) new default roads

2) roads for slums and industry




3) country roads


4) two sets of historical roads




Now I show you a couple of new roundabouts photos...




Another couple of roads photos...



LAST INFO:
Not too much time to finish the mod

 

Another little set of photos

 

Let's now talking about menu.

Default road + their expansion are founded in standard menu with classical photo-icons

All other roads (country, derelict, historical north euro, historical south euro) are founded in custom menu...
Here there are many roads and this could create a bit of confusion, that's why, I decided to use schematic colored icons istead of using photos.

purple family colors - 10m streets
red family colors - 15m roads
orange family colors - 20m roads
yellow family colors - 25m roads
green family colors - 30m roads
blu family colors - 40m roads
violet family colors - 50m roads

Iside icons, a short description, shows the shape and the road set, an optional little tree, shows if roads has trees

Prices of all roads have been changed: country and derelict roads are cheaper, historical roads have higher costs than default roads.

Roads with trees produce a light greenery effect (few meters) around them.

A couple of photos about menu icons...

 

Monty, it's a pity you become tired to finish your mod, asphalt is very nice and also u created very nice and original road shapes!!!
I will watch you work, perhaps it will ispire my some future addon to this mod (for example i didn't create on road parking ones).

Luis Diogo, my mod is not published yet. I need to complete some little details, balance road prices and write an uniform description of all roads.
Perhaps I will be ready to publish it maximum at first days of september.

 

Yes, monty spanish roads are awesome...but they are not fully completed.
It could require long time of work to include them as a new set or as a substitution of another road set.

Monty uses different *.sgbin files than in game standard roads.
Freaking roads works well with themself and with many roads, but i found several issues crossing some famous roads
(pharmist experiment 8 lane, 6 lane, GeniusXL and Martens roads, bicycle roads, and tram roads).
Freaking version for these roads should be created to solve issues.

A photo explain better than my words some of these issues:


In my mod I changed all standard roads, creating new version for martens, 6lane, 8lane, Genius + I added new ones

If i decide to include them in my mod, i need many days of work and I'm a bit tired after writing or changing texture, *.layout and *.class files for so many roads. Mod release would be heavly delayed too.

Last and not less important thing, Yesterday I received monty roads just to get suggestions, If he wanted to publish his work, he would have done by himself long time ago.

Plazas, they are only 3, I include them because historical road sidewalks doesn't have their textured fillers to close gaps between pave and buildings.

Ramblas, you will find 3 Ramblas based on Genius boulevard 2



In any case, I will try include something from freaking road....but something already is there....
RER default roads panorama:

 

Monty, I think i will be able to include ur rambla, it is too much a sin to lose it.
I will apply some little changes to armonize rambla with other default roads style.

 

Monty rambla will be included in the mod package...

 

Another monty-roads successful conversion and import...the grassy avenue

 

Luis,
as i told some post before, Monty uses not standard in game *sgbin files to apply textures on his roads, and he created only a subset of all road shapes used by modders.

I use the in-game multitextured *.sgbin files + few not-in game *sgbin files.
I need lot of work to convert all these roads. In future I could think to start this work creating freaking version for all the missing roads (Genius, pharmist...) and changing all RER road textures with monty textures.

The 2 roads in last photos are only partially converted to RER, as u can see, central pavements are monty original creations, and they are not converted, infact, I think that a central pavement quite different from standard RER pavement is not bad choice ...and i saved work time...
In any case, lamps, furnitures, asphalt and side-sidewalks should have the same standard, RER standard, or all would look as a strange mixture.



Kipate,
I had thhought about an "on road parking set" as a future expansion pack, probably together with trams on historical roads.
