This how the car parks and shops front will look with a single ramp at each end of the shops.

Shops and Overlap Stations 7.png (32.62 KiB) Viewed 5873 times

I removed the lift from the front area to allow more shop fronts and placed a building in the middle of the car parks that has a lift and stairs for people to go down to the shops and platforms.

I going to work on these as I think they a lot better. 1 for entry and 1 for exit. The 2 lane ramps decide later if I will add these but without the lift.

Almost finished the section that overlaps 4 railway tracks for the north west to south east direction.

Shops and Overlap Stations 8.png (131 KiB) Viewed 5663 times

The section at back where the Coles is they overlap towards the south-east by 1 tile.

The section at front these overlap 3 tiles towards to north-west.

The section in middle with the lifts, stairs taxi ranks and disabled parking have 4 random selections, the others have 6 random pieces.

The middle section with the lifts and stairs, wonder if I should remove one of them and place the remaining one in the middle. What you think?

See in image a pole for the front footpath awning is wrong side of the wall .. will fix that shortly.

Almost 11 pm here so I off to bed .. good night all

These car parks and shops I trying to add taking a lot longer to do then I thought. Keep finding a better way to do things and because they overlap, these cause glitching in some places.

Changed the section that has the lift and stairs. I removed one set.

The row going from south-west to north-east that has the lifts and stairs glitches badly. So I need to make some adjustments to see if can prevent it.

Looking at adopting a idea of Born Acorn. He sent me some of his work some time back and some of his building has this pink section. It is to indicate that there is another part to join where the pink is.

These buildings are his and you can see what parts go where and in some cases you have a choice of pieces.

So I planning to adopt the same idea as it should make it easier for every one to know which way some objects are used.

Like your opinion on a idea
The section that crosses the railway lines. Wondering if I should steal some objects from "fridaemon" set and place restaurant and other fast food windows here. Show people sitting at tables looking out at the lovely trains passing under them.

Still got glitching in the car parks and shops overlaps.
I've been adjusting the xextent: yextent: zextent: but looks like need adjusting a bit more.

So I put that project on hold for a few days as sometimes having a break from things helps you think of the answers to problems.

I stole some fountains from other object sets and took away the brick work around them so they can be placed on ponds like in this image.

There 4 types (The 4th one is same as 3rd except I removed the tower).

Wouldnt mind that, some more resedential stuff would be exellent, especially for OTIS and the resedential industry. U could do full eyecandy towns.

Shall go hunting for some suitable shops for the overlaps as soon as I fix the glitch.

Made some paths with stone walls so can be used with the fountains.

It seems I upload game files and soon after I think of a new idea to add to it and upload again. So from now on I not upload any more till end of the month to give me time to think of any thing else. I intend for this to apply to all my projects.

Due to the screenshot comp is about Parks and it due to close last Wednesday of the month, I thought I will upload the extra fountain items I done so you be able to enter the competition too.

Found the problem why there is glitching with the overlaps of 4 railway tracks. It my own fault and not sure how to repair yet.

When you over lap from 2 directions towards each other it best that they overlap each other in the middle. Where the both overlap each other the pieces should be exactly the same. But I had the multi tile where they randomly choose the pieces. At least I think that what I have wrong.

For not I work on the overlap of 2 railway tracks and coem back to the 4 tracks another day.

Been making a few 2x2 shops that you find here in Australia. Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and BCF (Boating, Camping and Fishing).

Question Time:

fridaemon (he is the instigator) and I been looking at idea of " Amusenent Parks " and wonder did any one else try making these.

fridaemon (he is the instigator) and I been looking at idea of " Amusenent Parks " and wonder did any one else try making these.

While ago I thought about ferris wheel and finally I can come with one - 4 colours variants with 4 different grounds - City Objects, Cobblestone, VAST yellow and grey variant.

Garry would like to continue with this idea so he's here with the question: did anyone else try making these?

[Fredinho]

Cool! I recall seeing a ferris wheel on Simuscape and that's about it (and it obviously wasn't released anyway). Is it 4-tile or is just combined with other objects? At first I thought it look kinda big compared to other buildings, but on second look... maybe it's right.

EDIT: Oh, a rollercoaster too.

[fridaemon]

oh, I thought that it's small compared with SAC's one (you're right, it wasn't release as mostly things from her). but I checked few ones from Budapest, Prague, Brno etc and this ratio is ok.
I didn't do variant with fixed size. It's on everyone's decision, so I chose 1x1 overlapped variant, and you can add whatever you want around there.

In version 6 I can do more colour variants.

Amusement Parks

Next question what is fairly easy to draw?

Been thinking of the fairs and shows that travel from town to town for special events. The side show tents, dodgem cars, maybe the octopus, merry-go-rounds.

Be a few months or more before can start on this idea, but gives time to find what can be made for the game.

[kamnet]

so he's here with the question: did anyone else try making these?

Yes, years ago. It went incomplete. It would be good if somebody restarted.

Yes, years ago. It went incomplete. It would be good if somebody restarted.

Thanks kindly for that link.

Had a look and some good rides there. No mention of licence or if they been released.

So if no objections shall see what ones I can code and add to AuzTownObjectsAddOns or they might fit in AuzTownObjects as 7 IDs left in that set.

Cheers

EDIT:

I down loaded what images I could find from the site [CONTINUING] Funfair Tiles and they not ready for coding .. just give me permission to continue . Cheers

I coded in some of the Amusement Park objects from RL Conroy [CONTINUING] Funfair Tiles except the Ferris Wheel which fridaemon made.

Notice I have a alignment problem with the water slide. It late and I tied so I try to fix tomorrow.

Some rides on Page 1 and 5 from [CONTINUING] Funfair Tiles are copy write. Shall see if I can contact the person or persons who made those and if they will allow me to use their work.

Good night .. I off to bed.

Shall see if I can contact the person or persons who made those and if they will allow me to use their work.

Those on first page are from the games RollerCoasterTycoon and Traffic Giant.
You wont be allowed to use those

With regards to the Top Scan ride:
This is what RL Conroy said about where he got the graphics:

that website i got it from is down some years ago. I got the sprites two years earlier. That person can't be contacted anymore.

So scrap those Make new

So scrap those Make new

What a bumma .. now have to hunt for the different types of rides that are easier to try and draw from.

I was hoping to place the Fun Fair in AusTownObjects, but not enough room so they have been added to the AuzTownObjects AddOns.

fridaemon sent me his work on the Ferris Wheel .. so add them all and also added a few more. His set had all same colour seats. I did some with mixed colours.

I've added a Boxing Tent and like to make a larger tent for Ring side events such at high wire, trapeze, acrobats and other events that are held in the big top.

Still working on the Fun Fair .. I do my best to have it available to upload by end of the week, failing that could be end of the month or end of the year.
In this image are all the items available in the Fun fair so far.

Some rides have ticket booths as part of the ride, but not all paths align with them. I intend to remove those ticket booths and add them to some paths so you can choose where you want the ticket booth.

I think it time I upload the Fun Fair objects so you can enjoy this weekend.

Much thanks and credit goes to "RL Conroy" who provide most of the objects and the interest to add more to what he done. Check his forum Re: [CONTINUING] Funfair Tiles at viewtopic.php?t=51681. Also much thanks goes to Quast65 for testing what I been doing and helping find the bugs and provided valuable suggestions to make thinks look that bit better.

"fridaemon" unknowing help as well. Check out his screenshot for this months competition. The paths with ticket books I did for the rides, he used one in a position I had not planned for. Used it for people catching the ferry to buy their tickets at. So I made another ticket booth that could suit his idea better.

FunFairTicketBooths.png (5.35 KiB) Viewed 4749 times

Some rides I did 2 copies. 1 with concrete base and the other no concrete base so they will suit permanent amusement parks and those that travel from town to town or Country Fairs.

Enjoy
