Centerlines(more objects to be used) - THE WIZARD DK - 2020-01-29 10:21

Hi TC.
i was driving on fernbay and thinking TC uses ALOT of center lines on the track, meaning alot of objects that could be used for other things.

i took down your texture pack for roads but only contains SO/AS tracks, from here : TC Downloads

my suggestion is to have someone make centerlines like these for all tracks.
this is from fernbay. FOV 30

Fernbay with centerline

it would make you able to use the lines(objects) for other things like a bridge or house maybe or something else. it seems TC uses almost all objects. and this could give some free for other things.

The ones i use in the screenie is not a new idea. its taken from CLC who put them out for free download here :
https://citylifecrew.net/downloads.php


just a suggestion really. i dont expect any from it.
thanks for reading. Wiz

PS: yes i have changed the grass textures to be more sunny on FE.

Good idea, but would require everyone to download the pack. Not only does it mean people with their own textures can't use them anymore, but there is no way of enforcing this.

-1 because of the said issues

Interesting idea but I doubt it'll work with everyone.
The current system feels good enough and regarding future it's the best, in my opinion.

I doubt the future tracks will feature textures like the old ones.
Making texture with white lines will probably result in a giant mess.
(You can try it out on the track themself, WE & RO.)

Nice suggestion but personally it'll be a -1 from me.

true it would be as the rest of the textures ,an optional choice.

and tbh its only 2 files that needs a line on them. not a astrophysics job to do .

however it could in fact free alot of objects up which is the main thought behind.

Reply:
actually its also possible to do on rockingham, new WE & BLW.
so it would indeed be possible with the graphics update aswell.


EDIT:
it would also reduce forexample tirestacks as centerlines which often can cause insim note : Too Many objects.
i think theres more benefits with this than just meets the eye at first glance.

EDIT 2 :
to show you how little it would take i made it jpeg images to show you !
*Note these can NOT be used ingame*.
but you can delete/remove(back it up) the files in dds and throw these into the pic folder. start up lfs and go to fe1x track and make it load. close lfs and restart it. LFS should then have the image files converted for you in dds folder.(scawen said years ago)
(entity too large for forums)
so heres the alternative way :

turn 1 :

all other roads:

by using your own base files with a line. it would easily be rekognized as being TC files.
could be with one line only too. these just have 2.
