Hi Clus. It's been a while. Any chance the blank versions (without any lines) I suggested are still on the agenda?

Thanks ! :) I might add a blank version, if (or when) I find the time to create it ... I still have to do some other updates first ...

I second that notion, a blank set without lines and just the concrete would be outstandingly useful! But even so, the existing pieces are very neat and very much something I couldn't go without.

All your stuff is incredible, thank you!

I came here to see if a blank texture was available to allow me to add the lines in IMT and noticed someone else already suggested it, so I second this! Finding the right lane type in the menu then ensuring all the lines match up correctly is a little too clunky for me so I've been leaving my nodes untextured.

Well, I like doing all the stuff and I absolutely would like to have more time to do it [this is just to "clarify" how "work" has to be understood ;)] ... sadly (haha), we all have other things to do in life too...
I am going to finish a project at the weekend, which is laying arround for over a year already, and after that, I'll take another look at these networks. Maybe I could come up with something ... we'll see. ;) cheers

No, thank you clus! Again your contributions are outstanding. And I've dabbed in making my own simple road using Blender, all the different texture files, the in-game editor etc. So I've got a decent view of how much work and effort you put into everything, as well as how much time it costs you.

I'm very happy and gratefull you do all of this!!

Hi. Yes, I thought about it, but haven't had the time (and motivation) to start with it yet, sry. I might have to change the textures for that... so it'll be a bit more "work". The only thing I am currently doing (due to the lack of time) is preparing stuff for the workshop, which has been finished some time ago already ...
But I'll include at least one "blank" version in the next update.
Thanks again ! :)

Hi Clus, thanks for the update of this pack.

There are some other minor imperfections I do not want to bother you with. I however would like to ask you if you'd thought about my proposal to add textures to this pack without any of the white lines at all. This way you can add the concrete texture to these empty nodes, and add the markings using IMT. This would make things a whole lot easier.

It would also make the pack more versatile and adds flexibility to it. I myself would be very happy if this could be added to the pack, or a seperate pack.

Keep up the great work! Love the monorail assets btw :steamhappy:

@Tommy Cipote It's additional lines/network assets that you can select from the dropdown menu in IMT as shown in the image in the "Usage/Workaround" section of the description ;-)

@MaxFX Hi thanks for reporting/finding this ... I wasnt aware of that "issue". I do have some time today ... therefore expect an update of the National Road later today.
@ Tommy Cipote Hi, and thanks. :) Sry for asking, but I dont really understand your question ...
Tommy Cipote 11 May, 2023 @ 3:54pm 
Love your work clus, youre awesome.
Can you explain better how this one works for non english speakers? For me this is exactly like IMT
MaxFX 11 May, 2023 @ 11:53am 
Hope to hear your thoughts on this.

Hi Clus,

I've been struggling to get the texture packs implemented in a perfect way. For example; I've got some interchanges where there's a transition from one-way ramps onto the two-way two-lane National Roads. But as you can see in this pic: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2974520215 theres quite a significant difference in lane width, which causes the lines to not allign.

As I've mentioned, I've posted a suggestion on Discord to add the ability to change the zoom % on both sides of a texture for macsergey's IMT mod. But macsergey hasn't responded to any suggestions for quite some time now.

But I believe there's a good and easy option to solve this; And that is to add a couple of texture files to this pack that contain the concrete texture, but none of the lines on it. This way you can add the concrete textures to the empty nodes, and fill them in with markings to your own liking. This would certainly add some flexibility to this pack.
clus  [author] 7 May, 2023 @ 8:05am 
Thanks ! I'll vote for it ... I also have to remind mys3lf to use discord more often than I do it atm ...
MaxFX 30 Apr, 2023 @ 8:11am 
Hi clus, I've noticed a slight issue regarding the use of these textures in curved segments. These tend to get slightly compressed. This is not something you can fix, but it could be solved if IMT gets an additional option. So I've added this suggestion on Discord. In case you want more info, here's the Discord link to the suggestion: https://discord.com/channels/727463293253582967/880516848997793843/1102243256898695239

It would be helpfull if you (and others) upvote this suggestion off course ;)
clus  [author] 30 Apr, 2023 @ 2:22am 
@all sry for my late reply ... I currently (almost) have any time atm for CS.
Many thanks to you all ! :)

@MaxFX Many thanks to you for the coffee!! Very much appreciated !! :) ... and regarding to your pic, everything seems to work. :) thats great.
Btw .... there will be more "concrete Highways" stuff in the future ... I still have to empty my "storage". ;)

Bought you several cups of coffee. Don't go drink it all at once though! :steamhappy:
MaxFX 27 Apr, 2023 @ 8:34am 
Ok, these are awesome!!

Any chance you could add some additional files to this pack where both outer lines are solid, instead of one being dashed? That, combined with the guardrails you made I could get to 100% perfection. :steamhappy: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2967908149

YES THANK YOU haha, definitely always going to use these for every build now
Rockfix 25 Apr, 2023 @ 10:00am 
I always liked this set of networks but couldnt stand the ugly empty nodes. That's why is started using NAF networks. Now I might finally start using yours.
StarrWulfe 25 Apr, 2023 @ 5:30am 
Oh wow, and I just got through replacing all the vanilla expressways with your networks anyway, so this is a real treat!
riley5cents 24 Apr, 2023 @ 8:44pm 
these are amazing af

I also have been waiting for something like this for a long time for intersections. You are a legend
