Cancelled Better West Coast USA cancelled due to lag (feel free to continue this if you would like to)

This map will just be a modded version of the original map
It will include:
Better updated road lines
Better intersections

I am looking for suggestions on what to put in the map (i will not be putting street lights in as it will add lag to lower end pc’s)

*i am all so looking for help with A.I as i have no clue what i’m doing

(this project maybe delayed due to working around school)

pictures:

 

Any pictures?

 

West Cost

 

I will be uploading pictures tonight as i made the thread on my phone

--- Post updated ---

Thanks for telling me about typo

 

update on progress:
added new road markings (ignore my attempted at text)

added some crash damage on cliff road barrier(and yes you can now fly off the cliff)

 

Can you modify textures and possibly some structures? I'd love to see a clean and polished WCUSA.

 

One suggestion I have would be to expand the low-end neighborhood around the place where the Torres Tires shop is since they're everywhere in Cali (specifically Los Angeles)

 

can i ask why the 'bikes' looks like that?

 

List of my suggestions:
1. Enlarge the highway and add suburbs on its sides.
2. Add suburbs on another island.
3. Add a second bridge similar to the golden gate, which will also lead to the suburbs.
4. It would be cool to have an airport on the west coast.
5. You may not like the last idea, but I would remove the river, since the west coast city is more like san francisco, and the river is taken from los angeles.

 

Grove Street in BeamNG when

 

I will try to but I might not be able to as this is my first mod but i will try

i don’t know how to add text to road textures ( if you have any advice t would appreciate it)

1. When you say enlarge the highway do you mean make it longer?

2. I will try to but it might not be best quality and I don’t know how to program the A.I

3. I will try to but it might not work out as this is my first map

4.i can try to add a airport ( don't expect the best thing in the world)

5. When you say remove the river do you mean delete the river?

please just remember that this is the first mod and idk if ill be able to finish it and i have to redo the road lines as the update deleted my progress
Also i cant work on it at the moment as my house is getting decorated and a new carpet put in so that might take a few weeks

 

I think you can if you check the texture of the road via decal road editor. Or you could make a simple invisible plane in blender and slap a transparent texture on it saying "bikes."

For the first, 4th and fifth questions:
1: I think he means making the 6-lane roads lasting longer, because it does feel like it's not even a highway at all, since it ends after the tunnel and turns into regular roads. But then again, if we take a close look behind the highway spawn point, we can still see a big stretch of the same 6-lane road. The game wants us to think this is the end of a very long 6-wide highway, but it just seems too short to be called a highway.
2: You can copy Italy's airport, someone else did it and the map got accepted.
3: I think he means filling in the river with something. Maybe ground and more roads on top of it. And it makes sense since the river barely gets any use and just makes the map look older and not-well maintained.

 

Added an extra barrier to stop cars getting caught on the pillar and it makes the road safer (all crashes at 100-105 mph)

 

1. I can delete the construction barriers and make it about 5-10 miles longer (please note that if you freecam (shift+C) over the barriers a bit the texture resolution drop massively)

2. How do you copy objects from one map to another as I tried copping the buildings etc and it didn't work?

3. when you say the river do you mean the sewers?

 

1. I think there's a way to not make it do that.

2: You can watch BNGF's tutorial on that

3. Yes. I think he means that.

 

make a small city across the canal next to residential buildings

try to add lighting (light from windows, glowing lampposts)

increase the city center (add more skyscrapers, and different buildings)

increase the residential areas that are across the channel (residential buildings, shops), and come up with something else

I know it's complicated and long, but these are just options for your project

 

1 as I said I will not be adding light due to lag reduction

2 i can copy buildings and make the residential hill go down the road away from the city centre more

3 i can make the area next to movie theatre (across the motorway entrance) into a small shopping centre.

On the river/sewer i will try to fill it with dirt but if this doesn’t work i will just leave it

also does anyone know how to make curbs?

Update:
Extended the highway


added better graphics at minimum performance cost

 

Good, now you need to add more trees there and make it look not ugly and out of place.

 

Have you got a email so you can beta test it for me for opinions?
You dont have to if you dont want to

 

Sure, I guess. But... Don't you think it's a tad bit early for beta testing?
