Mr. Wynand posted:Is there really no way to "peel off" a 2-lane avenue into two separate 1 way roads without an intersection? Or even just merge a one way into just one lane of the 2-way without a stupid intersection? It's nice that the game lets you make overpasses but only being able to merge back with an intersection defeats the point. Yeah that's about the only thing seriously missing from the roads for me. The solution? HORRIBLE ROUNDABOUTS EVERYWHERE. It's clogging up! Maybe there's too many entrances? Urrrrtghh

Noyemi K posted:I used to do 3D stuff in blender but it was usually on the cartoony side. Is it easy to get blender set up to export models for this game? I'd like to make custom props and buildings at some point. Yeah. I was just testing it out myself. A 1x1x1 cube imports into game real tiny, but scale it up by 400X and it fills a 1 tile square perfectly. Also remember the object's transformation is not applied, so check that they're all zero and dont transform in object mode. Apply all the transformations inside edit mode.

Nah it's something about the way Skylines imports stuff, seems to be unit-agnostic. Anyway, I export it all as fbx, and the supported maps are diffuse, normal, spec, alpha and luminance. Once you do that, you can import objects as props, then make a building using the prop.

I'd hesitate recommending Blender to a newbie. I've no problem using it because I've used various 3d programs over the years and it's all the same, just a matter of finding out what the hell it's called in this particular package and how to get to it. For someone new to 3d modelling? Uuuuuuh.

Just the default settings out of blender. Got PMs? When I get home I'll upload a reference file that I used successfully to get stuff into the game. (I only just got into work tho, it'll be about another 8 hours )

Yeah, as I said, when exporting from Blender the scale needs to be 400x to be tile for tile. You can set it from the FBX export window, there's a panel on the left to set the export scale. Alternatively when importing it into Cities, you can set the scale to 400 instead of 1.

Noyemi K posted:Now that my prop is in the game... how the hell do I use it on buildings and stuff? Create new asset - Building. Pick a building type and build. For some reason the props are plopped under Park equipment. I havent figured out how to add icons to a prop yet either so it'll appear as an incomplete grey pile of bricks when looking for it in the menu.

Dammit I just realized that the four lane roads were causing a lot of my traffic issues. The divider in the middle prevents traffic from buildings on the sides from going in the wrong direction so they have to go all the way to the end of the road. With a six or two lane road, they can just cross and be on their way!

 Going back to Zbrush to work on terrain was a much better idea. Then export the heightmap into the game and fine tune from there.

Poizen Jam posted:Given the depth of the modding capability, what exactly is preventing mods increasing the map size beyond 5x5? It's definitely not necessary for me now or in the near future, but I'm kind of really curious how such a hard limit could be set. Is it just the fact the current modding tools can't touch the relevant bits of code? Computers turning into flaming piles of slag.

Welp I did a first pass of my map. The bad news is that I hosed UP and completely misjudged the scale. Thanks to not having any structures as landmarks to guide the size of things, I made every feature about 2-3x the size I intended them to feel like. That massive gulf between islands should have been a narrow span. The river is a giant raging chasm! The narrow winding paths up the mountains are huge! The shoreline that I wanted to be sort of eroded looking edges, MASSIVE CLIFFS. Bleagh
