Cobblestone Road #03 – V#02

Cobblestone Road #03 – V#02

Hello all together ! [a.iO]

Well … Here we have something a lot of peoples ask about quite often…
flat Tram Roads !
They´re designed for a pedestrian friendly environment with wide
sidewalks, a low vehicle speed (30km/h) and a driving lane, which will be
shared between cars, trams and cyclists.

Sounds great, doesn´t it ?! 🙂

Yeah, but they come with a "price" and thats the thing, which prevented me
from doing this earlier …
The game isnt designed for that type of road and I´ll explain you why
down below !

First Version without parking –>

• flat roads are 30 cm higher than the normal roads
• … and you cant change how these "transition nodes work …
• down below is an example how a straight rail connection will look

  

• Example of a 90 degrees connection
• the rails will "stick out/above" quite high

  

• every node with at least one road connection to a "normal" road is considered as
  a "transition node" by the game
• I´ve created these roads that way, that a rail connection to themself at a
  transition node wont appear (see below)
• the trams will drive there anyway, but without the visually existing rails

  

• They will only connect to themself, if there is no transition node

  

• … which leads to the fact, that only roads based on the gravel road will
  be considered the same network typ, in other words, no transition

  

• … other than all the mentioned things, they´ll work as "normal roads" 😉

There is one additonal thing to mention … you might see cims walking "through the
cars" on the version #02 road. That also the price you have to pay for the "separated tram
stops". Another thing, the game wasnt designed for. 😉

• flat
• cobblestones
• LRT tram rails
• speed 30 km/h
• shared lane for trams/cars and cyclists
• tram stops on both roads
• bus stops only on the non parking version
• grd version only !
• 20 m width [yeah .. odd, but at least a straight number ;)]
  (I had to come up with something… 24m was too wide, and 16 definitely to narrow)
• transitons only to (dbl)narrow and wide tram roads possible

• network tiling mod by Ronyx69 (works without, but will look "♥♥♥♥♥" ;P )
• tram and bus shelters
• tram and bus signs
• traffic lightts (only about 5 MB with LSM)

As always 😉

Both networks use same textures and lod materials.
With the help of LSM, these materials will be shared … saving you some RAM.

Zoning Adjuster 1.1.1 – by algernon

Honestly … I havent tested that mod, but it might help you due to the "odd width" of
these roads.

I´ll add them when they are back … 😉
