Development on version 1.x (Current Map Improvements)
Posted: 29 Sep 2013 17:01
We may have a nice map mod now, but there's always room for improvement, tweaking and reconstruction to make the Promods Map even better. Therefore, it's an ongoing effort that we are not only expanding the map, but also maintain and improve what we have.
This thread is dedicated to the map improvements and additions on the current map areas.
What has been done so far:
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS:
- New streetlight models for the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Sweden:
- New power pylon models:
- Shortened the dividing stripes. 2:1 and 3:1 stripes are much more commonly found in Europe than 1:1 stripes.
- All route signs have their official fonts and route shields:
THE NETHERLANDS
- Rebuild interchanges near Rotterdam:
- Rebuild interchanges in Amsterdam:
- Redesigned signage system:
- Replaced the road textures to represent the new Duurzaam Veilig markings:
SWEDEN
- Redesigned the interchanges near Helsingborg and Jönköping:
- Added scenery on the E6 between Malmö and Helsingborg:
- Added scenery on the rv40 (including Ulricehamn):
- Redesigned signage system:
- Added reflection to the water:
- Added painted road arrows to Swedish roads:
On my short term to-do list:
- Add some more scenery to the E6 between Göteborg and Helsingborg
- Add scenery only exits (AKA, unaccesable) and city development near Ljungby and Halmstad.
For long term plans, I have these points:
- Create a new road, the E22 from Malmö to Kalmar to Norrköping. Create Linköping as well as a twin city with Norrköping
- Create rv13 to Ystad for a ferry to Poland.
- Add Örebo to the map.
- Turn the rv75 (Sodralanken) into a tunnel, and redesign the scenery in Stockholm overall (needs a lot more water and bridges).
- Add Utrecht to the Netherlands
- Add the A2, A12 and A28 to the Netherlands, remove the A50 due to redundanct functionality.
- Add Antwerpen to Belgium.
- Review other Scandinavian cities to look where these can be improved.
