The "Gonaives[戈纳伊夫]" City Building Contest

Yes, that problem with the difference in height is nearly unsolvable...
One thing to avoid changes in height was using the Over Water Roads by pharmist.
But that only works when the terrain has not been changed much before...

 

i'm joining in just for fun, not to win i know cheaters gonna buy/fake votes like the last time

 

Here we go, looks terrible i know just an idea

 

Ah, c'mon @skullz613 ! There are brilliantly understandable tutorials here for getting to know
the RHM mod. And I mean, you could just make some kind of terminal exit to some
countrywide highway network; the city is on a peninsula, so that would even be realistic

@Ammar Shaker it may be simple, but it is still effective

 

Well, in case you only want to have highways with 2 lanes each direction, you can work with the in-game
15m wide roads and later replace them with highway constructions. That should work
even with curves etc. ...

 

Hello guys,
I am a new guy here and I would participate too if you like my first attempts of a city I am calling Saint George
I am planning to build a part american part asian city. It might be some european buildings now and there. But that's because many of the american designs were inspired by europeans especially in 19 century.

Here is how it looks so far:

Some street levels:

What do you guys think of this attempt?:


Or this park:


If you like it so far I would finish.
At the moment the lack of time and these random crashes from mods that probably aren't compatible with XXL are killing me. Don't you have the same issues?

 

@george_azur : of course we like this entry!
Keep up the good work!!!
BUT, IMPORTANT: make a back up of your city!!!

Hi George, i copied one of your intersection haha. the only deference is im sticking a train rail into it.
cheers

 

working on the (new) airport right now



Edit: yeah, CXL is fun, always fun
Need... more... aprons... fuck the what

 

When will the "Official 2015 Gonaives[戈纳伊夫] City Contest Submissions" thread be posted?

 

gosh, i'm sooo copying this

 

You must ask @IcyHot , @ronrn , for more information about the time when the submission thread will be posted But I think roughly at the end of August...
Btw, that interchange looks great from the concept!
But it is really using a lot of space, too, isn't it?
Maybe you could create another exit within the circle?
Or place some more park area and pedestrian paths there?

 

Your interchange looks really good and realistic!! can you make a tutorial of how to do that?

I also like your highway designs. they are very realistic!

 

Thanks guys,
-Actually, this interchange takes up less space than any other RHM interchange I've been able to build so far, which was my goal when I came up with this one. For me, size is one of the biggest challenges with RHm, especially when building "loops" and curves and making them look realistic. I can only manage 2 or 3 interchanges on most maps and still have room for a decent sized metro area. Tried many times building a cloverleaf the same size as the default game highway cloverleaf. I can't even come close to getting one that small.

-I wanted some parks/natural areas in the center, but I wasn't happy with any of the default or mod plazas, got frustrated with it and moved on to someting else.

-I'll try to build another one and post some screen shots of the building process. I can rarely get any two interchanges to turn out the same.

 

About the subject of the "Official 2015 Gonaives[戈纳伊夫] City Contest Submissions" thread:

-Presentation is a key factor in the city building or any other competition. I'm for some sort of standardization of the entry presentations pertaining to 'suggested' image sizes, use of thumbnails and/or spoilers and such, and maybe a brief tutorial/instructions on how to use this forum's tools. I only manage to stumble through my postings when it involves posting images without mucking things up. Hell..I do good to get a smiley inserted.
-I'm even for individual threads for presentations, sort of like CJ's. That's a lot of images to scroll through in the one competition thread. That way too, more than one entry presentation at a time could be opened for comparison or just plain easier viewing.
anyways, just my 2cents, good luck to everyone

 

re: ronrn,
For plazas under highways, set the expand width in the .class file to something under 30. I used 12 for most spots, but had to increase that to 20 in spots. See the pic with an American Coniferous Forest (Lex) under the overpass. Once you've got your plaza down, it won't change if you reload after making changes in the patch. And yes, it was quite frustrating to figure out.





re: anyone,
Is there a difference between Furniture and trees in terms of render distance? I have both mine set at 100%, but as you can see in the picture, gravestone furnitures disappear while trees much farther away are still visible. You can see under the arrows that they are fading out, and then there isn't any more visible although I planted them. Is there something I can change in a file to make the visible at greater distances?

 

Yeah, you can try to change the visibility, I think it was something like TrulyAlwaysVisible
in the Class File... maybe ask @Mr.X² , though, he may help you!
