A.P.Earth | Refreshed Roads (v1.1)
Posted: 01 Jan 2021, 22:04
Originally, I was gonna upload this plugin to the Plugin Store. And the plugin was actually there on the Store. Then somebody complained that the other bridge types weren't there (it was only the default bridge), so I added the other bridge types, uploaded the plugin, and it was disapproved because "overriding roads isn't a good idea." What? It was fine before. Then the plugin was removed from the store.
So, I migrated this plugin to the forum instead after somebody recommended me to, and that's why the plugin is here instead of the Store.
Fun Fact: This is the first plugin I ever uploaded here.
Another Fun Fact (edit Jan. 5): I just discovered that the plugin is back on the Plugin Store. Odd...
Anyway, to the description:
===== Description =====
Personally, I made this plugin because I thought the road graphics were off.
Example: On a two way expressway, the median is dotted. But one a four lane highway (one side has two lanes), we instead have a straight, undisturbed line splitting the lanes in half? Even if I wasn't American, I'd still think these graphics wouldn't make any sense.
So instead, I just remade the road graphics by overriding the vanilla roads and putting a more logical texture on them. The roads from Neighborhood Roads can also be found here, with textures that go along with these.
Also, texture, resource, or graphics plugins should be a thing because there are some things that don't even use these textures, such as premade intersections...Not to mention, if any region disallows plugins, these roads can NOT be used, and you will have to disable them.
Another note, you cannot use both Neighborhood Roads and Refreshed Roads at the same time!
===== Additions (from Neighborhood Roads) =====
+ Suburban Roads
+ Truck Prohibited Roads
+ Truck Prohibited One Way Roads
===== Changes =====
Re-textured most vanilla roads except for the dirt road.
==========
Enjoy!
