GRAPHIC: The 'Burbs: Urban Sprawl

[Der PH]

Hi Rickk

You asked for a screenshot from players using your mod. Here is mine.
I added a few rail tiles from BlueO's mod to get more factories and a few higher houses.

Looks good, what would be really cool is having huts on road, these on railroad, farms on irrigation, and snoopys citys.

You should check out Zeb_Fishers irrigation graphics. He has little barns and stables on some of them. He did a very nice job.

It looks a little weird... I'm still torn whether I like it or not.

[Martock]

Lateral Thinking

Would it be possible to program suburb tiles to show up only when you build railroads in the productive space around each city... That would make it look interesting, and also help demarcate - I`m tired of counting all the possible variations to find unused space.

Each railroad tile is stored in a list within a .pcx file, and they're only designed to connect correctly to other tiles. There's no specification between tiles that are adjacent to cities and ones that aren't. So therefore, there really isn't any way to produce the effect you want.

Great JOB!!!!!

Rikk, that is some serious work. Good job.

I'm still using and LOVING this mod.

IMO it looks a bit too busy and crowded. But a nice addition to the gfx...

[Datajack Franit]

I'd love the "sprawl" to show only around metropolis.. but I'm downloading it anyway

Just came back to check out for some mods and saw this thread was near the top. Just wanted to say thanks for the kind words.

I was working on the second one (which would have been SO much cooler - it was almost done), but my computer died and I lost all the work. If I get inspired and have some free time, I might redo it.

Version 2 had lawns and trees and not so many of the same houses (more types). It was pretty cool.
