That's quite the patch, way bigger than I was expecting.

While this is supremely cool, I think i'll stick to the American buildings, thanks.

This is cool, I like direction they are going with this, means we will probably see new themes in the future! Also looking forward to new vehicles! Asset editor: Added custom vehicle importing Le0 fucked around with this message at 14:44 on May 19, 2015 |

How do you turn on euro building styles? Or are they just random

TheQat posted:How do you turn on euro building styles? Or are they just random I think it depends on which map you choose to start on. If you want european buildings, you have to start a new city.

Knowing that the patch was just days away I went ahead and "finished" my current city, for now. It was called "Islandville" and it had a whole hell of a lot more room to build on. I absolutely loved that map. It was at over 200k when I finished last night with 6 million in the bank & 50-60k profit. I also made it a point to only use 2 lane roads in free form patterns when I could. http://imgur.com/a/bPfch

Fish Fry Andy posted:gently caress I designed my map just for the Europe buildings. Can you change the biome type in the editor? I've never touched map making so i have no idea how it works, but if you can i assume you just change it from boreal/temperate etc. to one of the new euro ones. And if you can't can you just import your height maps into a new map, or is there a lot more to it?

You can, but I also need to lay down all the highways/railways, plant all the trees, etc. And.. the water simulation. The worst part. Without the mod that speeds time up to 99x. I guess now that I have tunnels that will be a fun experience.

They really need a proper modding API, until they have one mods'll break with updates all the time, since they're basically hacking them in.

My update is stuck at 230mb. I didn't even realize there was an update since I just wanted to check a texture update i did to my latest model. All the new modding stuff sounds neeeeeeeat. The custom vehicles sounds great and the opened options to change. The thumbnails are good too. Can't wait to look through it all and see what can be done.

You can't use tunnels in the map editor. Pretty huge oversight right there.

Man, the way they described having a "new system for wall to wall buildings" it really sounded like it was going to be well, a new system. They talked about how they'd conform to angles and such. Instead it's just a bunch of Cities In Motion buildings tossed on the same lot system and uses a new map type. Why not at least make it a district policy?

That's disappointing, since that's my number one complaint with the game. Most of the other problems I have can be fixed or at least mitigated through mods but the lovely grid zoning system is a constant struggle.

ArchangeI posted:Sounds like that is exactly what is planned. It would be nice if that means what I want it to - lots that actually conform nicely to curves and corners - but none of the screenshots show anything like that. "Corner and adjacent buildings" could just mean that it smartly selects a corner building or a mid-row building for a given lot based on its nearest neighbors, nothing to do with filling in space between lots or papering over chopped-up grid areas.

That sort of thing would probably require procedural building generation which would be really pushing the limits of the engine, as far as I can gather.

The Deadly Hume posted:That sort of thing would probably require procedural building generation which would be really pushing the limits of the engine, as far as I can gather. There are some compromises that wouldn't require anything close to full-on procedural building generation. I don't even care about wall-to-wall really, I mainly want the possibility of large buildings occupying areas where the existing grid system gets disrupted. Having the lot borders fill in smartly so there's not as much open ground in those areas would be nice too.

Unfortunately I don't think we'll see the grid/gaps problem dealt with in this particular game. It seem to me like it's a fundamental trait of the engine they wrote and changing it now is probably out of the question. There are tech demos out there of procedurally filling odd shaped lots but those projects never seem to get beyond that. I assume that means it's harder to build into a game than it might initially seem. Or that the people making those demos are really good at the procedural bit but clueless when it comes to making a city simulation. C:S is in a good middle ground, it does get frustrating dealing with gaps on curved roads but max level buildings generally fill the space well so it doesn't look super bad unless you zoom in a lot.

So I can't get the game to work post patch but how do the euro buildings work? What are they exactly? A new zone? Totally replace certain buildings?

This has been my assumption all along, but then they went and announced wall-to-wall buildings. I think it was reasonable to expect that might actually mean more than "buildings designed with a wall-to-wall visual style." But whatever, I can live with some disappointment. It's still a great game and I appreciate that they're going to keep improving it.
