Brick streets??

[prr325]

Hi all.

Does anyone know of some good brick street splines? I'm using TS12 so I would be interested in anything that would work in TS12. I've looked around, both on the DLS and third-party sites, but I haven't found anything good.

Thanks.

Ray Whiley made some nice brick splines that work well as streets. They begin with DDD for Duke's Denver Designs. They are thin enough and there's no traffic on them. They're great for dock areas and station areas so you can place cars, trucks, wagons, etc. If you want to lay railroad tracks, you need to lower the tracks a smidge, maybe 0.6m to get the right track height.

There are some streets by FMA that have a brick texture. These have a darker stripe in the middle as though there were tracks down them. You can than place rail-only splines in them and this works well. Again, you'll need to adjust the height of the track so the rails don't stick up too high.

Thanks for mentioning these, John. I would just add that if anyone wants bricks of a different hue, it would be easy to open the file 'Brick paving ...tga' in a graphics program and play around with it, eventually saving it under the same name. After all, this is how I get different brick colours - as well as photographing neighbours' drives or brick paving areas in towns. (Yes, I do get some funny looks when I'm apparently taking shots of my own feet!)

If anyone wants traffic on these splines, just change "isroad 0" to "isroad 1" in the config.txt file.
