In more and more mall parking lots, we have chargers for electric cars. Half of the row here is set aside for charging.

When I get the other parking done, could have a look at this idea. Any one else interested in these?

[Quast65]

I like the reserved parking too!

Any one else interested in these?

Yep!

This is what the parkingspot looks like in my street:

Basically, its nothing more than a narrow box and then a sign on the ground and one on a pole, indicating that the spot is reserved for electric vehicles only (and in some cases only when they are charging).
Which is why my 31-year old gas-guzzler is parked one spot further

Thanks .. glad players like it .. gives me the incentive to do more to it.

I like your way for the electric cars .. a box at end of the parking spaces can also represent parking meters.

I see what other images I can find see what else can be done.

This something else I been fiddling with .. solar panels and vegetable gardens.

Maybe some help for the design..
Most of the ones that are scattered in residential areas here, are close or right next to a lightpole.
I guess so its easier for them to be plugged into the powergrid.

Not a bad idea .. I could put a box at the bottom of a Light pole or near the light pole.

Something like this.

What security fences should I use the older style?

or a more modern style

or both?

That box works for me!
Maybe also add something to the ground, perhaps something like with the disabled parkings:

But rather than the blue, use green. I've seen that sometimes too.

It will emphasize that it is electric car parking.
Most of the times, one box sevices two spots.

Fences, both?

Yes please, depending on the surroundings sometimes the lighter one works better and sometimes the darker one.

I could add these to the car parks I done before so can be placed in shopping centers and places like that.

If I just recolour the disabled parking and the red posts in the middle make it a bit bigger to represent the power outlets.

Ok .. shall do both.

I was thinking of something more simple, like this:

As the spots for electric cars are right next to "normal" spots. (rather than with space between them, like for disabled parking)

[GarryG]

Good idea.

I thinking for these security parking I will turn off animation of the vehicles and instead use multi select so I can had a good variety of parking spaces and save on IDs at same time.

I did a set electric car parking for the previous car parks I did years ago. There was just enough IDs left for these.

Man... so sweet, so sweet!

[fridaemon]

I can use solar panels for roofs of modern buildings:)

[Quast65]

I done some security parking with the black fence. The boom gates are stolen from Quast65 Airport object set.

Black Security Fences 02.png (80.13 KiB) Viewed 3673 times

Wonder if I did another set of the boom gates with green and red signs to represent exit and entrance .
Still need to do a 2 tile wide set and probably a single tile wide set. You can make the 2 tile wide now but they have no gates yet.

Tenant parking with car ports. (Should I do some undercover electric car charging stations )

Up loading game file so you can try and throw suggestions at me for any combinations I not done yet.

Once I get all these black gates finished will work on the older security fence set.

Cheers

[fridaemon]

coooool

I'm gonna add them to the airport in my game

Thanks to 'fridaemon" he discovered a alignment problem when some objects placed on slopes.

Checking coding and found I forgot to change a part of the coding. I had STORE_TEMP(slope_to_sprite_offset(tile_slope), 0), instead of STORE_TEMP(0, 0),

All been fixed so hope it will not interfere with your games in progress.

The error also in the AuzCarParkAddOns as well. Will upload that very soon as just finished drawing the corner pieces with gates and more boom gates.

Here the update and also source files.

Experimenting with different crops and seeing if I can improve on previous crops I did before.

A few months back I did these sugar canes.

Using the template for the sugar cane, I made these corn fields and intend to replace the previous corn fields I did with these.

Then I got idea seeing what crops I can harvest and these represent harvesting potatoes.

I plan to put some people on the exposed potatoes as if they are picking them up.

Wonder if you think these crops look like they suppose to represent?

Cheers

[Quast65]

In the cornfields you can see a couple of pattern-lines:

Example730.png (5.38 KiB) Viewed 3469 times

I think those will be very obvious when you make big fields.
Try to get rid of those and I think those will look very good.
