This mod is out-of-date.
The most recent version is folded in with the
terrain mod here: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4871471



v1.0 original release
v2.0 update: Fixed joins, cleaned up graphics.
v2.1 update: Minor alignments on a couple joins cleaned up


Transportation Lines Mod v2.1 download

To install:
(1) Back up original C:\Matrix Games\Shadow Empire\graphics (just in case)
(2) Download the zip file at the above link (see image below)
(3) Unpack the zip file to C:\Matrix Games\Shadow Empire (overwriting files in the folder C:\Matrix Games\Shadow Empire\graphics)

Only the transportation lines (dirt roads, asphalt roads and rail roads) will be overwritten - all other images will remain as is.

-Mark R.

I need to come up with a tighter procedure for join alignments.

Thanks for the update!


You're welcome.

It's hard to fully debug a mod like this because I can only see all the join combinations when they finally occur in one of my games. I've build a grid to help align things, but still subtle dis-joins can lurk.

So, I expect another update or two (or three) before it's all settled. If anyone finds dis-jointed joins, posting a pic here would help me fix it.
