[CLSD] Spice's Custom Path's

[Old-Spice]

Well we have some custom paths... I kid you not! With the help from Belgabor (thank you soo much) We managed to replace the texture files on paths. I thought it would be usefull to have optional textures for your paths...

These are NOT additional paths, they are custom texture replacements. All you need to do is backup 4 files and add the new ones and boom, all done!

I will be making a bunch of them, that way you can choose wat one(s) you want.

they are not done and wont be for a wile, there still being tested...

Again, thanks Belgabor for your help! It is so so apprechiated!

[p8ntball]

Way cool guys!

What a big step this is. More paths, WITH, shadows it looks like.

[tycoon4life]

Way better texture then compared to in-game concrete.

[LightGrenades]

You can use these textures with queue lines right?

Excellent job, and great looking texture.

from a distance they look exactly the same only a bit lighter lol personally i do not see much of a difference

yes, just have to re write the texture ovls for it. you have to replace spacific files tho. you cant use the asphault texture and add it to the crazy path. its complicated, but you will get it.

Why are you always so negative towards everything?

And, they look great! Is there any chance you can square off the paths? so they're not rounded off at the edges?

That wasn't negative feel free to be "negative" on my stuff, i do not mind.

great! so does this mean we can also retexture the poles on the upper path?

[CoasterJoe]

Wow, very nice.

i was just about to ask that
is there anyway of having a invisble texture on the wooden poles so they dont show up on one of the types of path?

No. That would require manipulation of the model ovls.

[runescape]

Those look great!

The world needs people like you! These are just another step forwards into creating a peersonal unqique rct3 for evryone! You deserve a medal ^^

Sure, what kind of texture would you have in mind?

Belgabor deserves the medal, this might have been my idea but he is the one thats makeing it happen




So, how many of you want me to change the railing texture? and what kind of texture?

[Avian]

with the railling texture, maybe something like a better wood texture. also, I can't wait to see some good que textures!

[Elf2007]

Awesome!

[MeJayBe]

I agree with Stu. The textures look good but not much different from that of the current in-game textures. It actually looks a little more, "real-world" and doesn't quite blend in with the "RCT-world" feel of the game.

I see. Anything would be better than the queue line path style.

As for the railing texture, either something completely metal like, or something completely wood like.

Also, is it possible to make it invisible, so that it can seemlessly match your bridge set?

I see, but from my view, everyone is makeing more realistic rides, more realistic CS, animated objects, i jsut thought that we should have soem decent realistic paths..?

well im sure i can make the textre part an alpha, but the thing is it might work with my bridge set but it wont have railings on other bridges and such, I could make a variation without railings.

I plan to make low res and high res path textures, the game standard 256 and the 512 for more detail if you want it. I dont want it to be too complicated.

if i make a low res and high res, then i will have to make a no reailing low and high res, and all them adds up and its hard to keep orginised, so i might make an orignal texture with out railings. also, i will talk with belgabor about makeing additional paths, perhaps we can 1 or 2 of the most used paths. then you can use the orignal textures too.

i just test the railing texture, I changed the correct one, i will look for a reasonable texture to add

[stu-2693]

how would you do it without railings? the ingame ones do not have a alpha texture style do they? so if you put nan alpha setting on them it would just turn black wouldnt it?

[NYRfan85]

The last screen looks great! If it's possible to remove the railings from the paths, as others have said, that would be perfect.

As for the queues, I would LOVE to have one with just a basic asphalt texture, much like what you have there or similar to shyguy's Main Street sidewalk pieces. It's such a pain covering all of the queue paths to get rid of that ugly tiled texture!

[Immelman]

Yet another CS breakthrough... I think it looks great and look forward to more developements!

well i cant take the railings out... sorry

[Master_Player09]

Looks great! Are curved (yes real) paths possible yet?

[Old-Spice]

no..



^ new metal texture

[Slyther360]

nice!!! lets see what else you've got!

[simtanic8]

^^ ISnt that the one in the game?

This is incredibel, first CS, then CTR, then CFR, and now CPT(Custom path Textures)! This community, mainly Belgabor and others, have brought RCT3 o a whole new level, I wonder if Chris goes through here and sees what everyone has done?

[CedarPointer]

I doubt Chris would want to know how we feel about him...
