67chrome: I like all the tile variation you added to this, all the little pot-holes and different road marking really make this a useful skin

 

[AIagremm]

Isnt there something like this already?
Anyway, even thought I think there is it looks really good.

 

[Misha]

looks useful.. but i don't know if it'll actually survive hive x3

 

[Khaine]

Yeah finally a more realistic road skin!

Isnt there something like this already?

There's also an other one but this one is for me much more useful

Thx

 

[Tleno]

This one is more warcraftish and realistic at the same time! Awesome!

 

[TheHunterKiller]

I think this one looks better than that other one.

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeah, this one is better for warcraft because it doesnt just make squares.

the other one is the ugliest road texture ever when creating diagonals.

(are there diagonal stripes in this one?)

 

[Cthulus]

Much better then the one I've seen used in many other maps. An excellent work, and greatly surpassing, as I said, the other terrains I've seen of this classification. I hope this gets approved soon, and I'm relatively sure it will!
4.5/5 Highly Recommended

 

[MassiveMaster]

Thx for all the comments!
I now that there is another road texture on the hive but i wanted a road texture with border so i made this one and thought others could find this version useful, too.
Because my old version had no diagonal stripes i replaced it with a bigger one with diagonal stripes (see description).

 

[Misha]

somehow i'm not convinced enough work has been put into this... :/

you should kinda.. rework the white "sidewalks"? they don't fit so greatly.. and i'm doubting the road is freehand :/

 

[MassiveMaster]

These "sidewalks" should be white side stripes like on this pic:

Road

But as they looked more like sidewalks i reworked them and replaced them with self-made white side stripes. Now everything is self-made.

 

[Just_Spectating]

the diagonal stripes are a bit longer than the horizontal and verticle ones.

 

[67chrome]

Like Misha said this skin doesn't seem to have much freehand in it, it is mostly a sand texture that colored gray with the addition of white stripes. It seems useful enough though, but if you are going to use a double-skin size, you should really use all 16 extra tiles rather than just four. Mostly this will probably be used for zombie maps, so having bloody pot-holes and cracked road bits could be options for filling in the remaining space. You should also do something with the alpha channels on the sides of the road, so you could make it look like the asphalt was poured over something when this tile is on top of another, and if it is under another tile it will gain the boarders of it. Also, the white line on the side should designate a sort of bike lance, rather than the edge of the road. (such as the lane created by the line in the picture above). Also, there are different types of lines than white lines on roads, in the United states a dotted yellow line is used to separate lanes that are going in opposite directions, a yellow dotted line on one side and a solid yellow line on another separate lanes so that the lane with the dotted line can pass if there is no oncoming traffic but the lane closest to the solid line cannot, and a double solid line indicates that it is illegal to pass via cursing in the other lane, usually because conditions are unsafe. So it's not like there is a lack of variety in road lines to fill up those unused 12 spaces either.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i think chrome has the right idea.

add some variation, road debris, cracks, more like warcraft's tiles

maybe not the zombie thing, because people can make modern maps too...

 

[Gyrosphinx]

This is the best one so far, but listen to chrome, he knows his stuff,

 

[MassiveMaster]

the diagonal stripes are a bit longer than the horizontal and verticle ones.

Yes i know, but the problem is that the diagonal sides of a square are always about 1,414 times bigger than the vertical or horizontal sides. If i lower the size of the diagonal stripes the gap between them will become to big and it will also look silly. But i will try to resize the length a little.

you should really use all 16 extra tiles rather than just four

Yay, it think you are right. I will try to add some other variations, but it will take some time.

Also, there are different types of lines than white lines on roads, in the United states a dotted yellow line is used to separate lanes that are going in opposite directions, a yellow dotted line on one side and a solid yellow line on another separate lanes so that the lane with the dotted line can pass if there is no oncoming traffic but the lane closest to the solid line cannot, and a double solid line indicates that it is illegal to pass via cursing in the other lane, usually because conditions are unsafe.

I'am from Germany, so i made a "German road". And in Germany yellow lines are only used as temporary road lines at road works for example. But we also have the stuff with the dotted and solid lines so i could add such things, thx for the suggestions.

Also, the white line on the side should designate a sort of bike lance, rather than the edge of the road. (such as the lane created by the line in the picture above).

Hmm, i don't think thats true. The white lines are there to show the edge of the road and they are on nearly every road, expect roads with sidewalks (at least in Germany). But these lines have nothing to do with the bike path at the side. Look at the picture, the street has these white lines on both sides, but the bike path is only on the left side.

Should have mentioned that roads could be different were I live again, most of the lines on the sides of the road designate a bike lane, though the road picture earlier in this thread does not designate enough room to do much of anything. Anyways, my point with this was in the picture it seemed the white line still has a bit of asphalt on the other side, rather than abruptly ending the edges of the road (if the road did that, there wouldn't be a need for the line).

Other ideas for the tile variation would be details that could be used to create an intersection, such as the lines to stop behind at stop signs and stop lights, and crosswalks

Who cares if its freehand or not honestly? This looks fantastic and it will be very useful for many map makers who make modern maps. Methods aren't everything Misha. And believe it or not CnP takes time too. Not trying to attack you but I think you should just go by the end result and how useful it is rather than rant about it not being worthy because of what you think the method was.

Anyway on topic, I think the skin is great and extremely useful. I'm going to use it for sure and I don't see much difference in the diagonal lines. I think they look fine but if you can improve them all the better.

67Chrome those were fantastic suggestions. You really know your stuff. Though I would say less blood and stuff unless you make multiple versions. Because I myself would use it for just any modern maps and not specifically a zombie map.

 

[MassiveMaster]

Ok, now i got what you mean. I will try to implement that.

Once more a good idea, will add that too.

Though I would say less blood and stuff unless you make multiple versions. Because I myself would use it for just any modern maps and not specifically a zombie map.

I won't add something with blood, because the tileset is meant to fit to modern maps in general than just for zombie maps. But maybe i will add some variations with cracks in the road etc., depending on how good i get them to work on the texture.

 

[Zerox]

Alright good luck with your variations.

You never, ever attacked me, Zerox

and btw.. now the tiles look Great.
and btw again, i wasn't ranting, i was constructive

 

[Kuhneghetz]

To be honest, I think it's good enough to get an approval. Sure, it's not 100% freehand nor at least 50%, but it actually looks better than the other asphalt textures in the database and the variations of this one increases the usefulness.

And remember, the Naga Catapult and the Naga User Interface have gotten an approval, yet they're 100% CnP.

 

[Misha]

Agree. get this approved

 

[Zerox]

Wow those are also amazing DvO. Coolio.

 

[Just_Spectating]

nice

 

[Dark_Dragon]

awesomeness 5/5 for sure!

 

[FlavoredPickle]

Rofl who need side walks? all u do is import dalaran or city scape white marble and u have an apropriate side walk

 

[Diehard@Azeroth]

HOLY FREAKING SHIT, Just what i need, good job bro!

 

[Azsure]

Hmm, a street... great idea. It could be useful for me

 

[BombAzzPuzzY]

I imported this terrain under: 'TerrainArt\Northrend\North_rock.blp', but
I don't get this terrain. Could some1 post what to do when it's imported?

 

[MassiveMaster]

You must have the tile Northrend Rock in your tileset. Then you import the texture to the given path ('TerrainArt\Northrend\North_rock.blp'), save the map and reload it. When you use the Northrend Rock tile after these steps, it should be replaced with the road texture.
I hope that helps you

 

[Arhowk]

Is there a way to get these to go the correct way rather than replacing every one untill i get it what i want?

Still, very nice mdl! +rep (or skin whatever)

Edit: figured it out

 

[Kunfury]

good job but do u got any tips for makeing the white lines in the center going in the direction u want easy

 

[MassiveMaster]

Yea, just select a tile (or a whole row of tiles) where the road tile goes in the direction you want, press "Strg" + "c". Then you select the tile (or row of tiles) you want to change and press "Strg" + "v". Should be very easy

 

[Kunfury]

kk ty

 

[gtsimos]

top texture

 

[kokt]

Great skin for a modern warfar map, i always looked for a rode tile sit gj.

 

[xorkatoss]

awesome skin man!! 5/5

 

[PMglory]

can some one help me!!! i dont know how to import SKINS i import it then i change the path to TerrainArt\Northrend\North_rock.blp then i try to northrend noting happen!!! pls help me

 

[PMglory]

i also restart the wc3 wolrd editor then i open it nothing happen

 

[MassiveMaster]

can some one help me!!! i dont know how to import SKINS i import it then i change the path to TerrainArt\Northrend\North_rock.blp then i try to northrend noting happen!!! pls help me

Have you done what I wrote here. If it still doesn't work after restarting the editor, try redownloading the skin.
If that doesn't help, I don't know either what you could do otherwise.

PS: Please avoid double posting, use the EDIT-Button instead.

 

[shinji]

Nice. Going to use this. 5/5 +Rep

 

[Metalbear]

I dont know If I can ask this but - Is this licensed ONLY for wc3 use? And what kind of license it has?

 

[MassiveMaster]

No, there is no "real" official license to this, like to all other public made resources here on the hive I think. You can use it for whatever you want. It would just be nice, if you credit the creator of the resource for his work.
