RP_Rockford Progress

[Statua]

If you wish to follow my progress on Rockford, this thread will be mostly up to date. For my latest thoughts, follow me at www.twitter.com/statua

Rockford is the map currently being designed for use with OCRP, however it will also be publicly released in hopes to become the new fad of Evocity. Its based on the coast of Oregon hence the cliffs, mountains, and oceanside beach. The map is also going to be a fully functional and accurate city including proper blocks with three digit addresses, realistic traffic lights with a 1 second all red, proper signage, and of course everything a city needs to run. Without further adoo, here's the progress information.

Just need to plant bushes and trees.

Known Bugs

Looks amazing, Statua. I always love your lighting, too! Please tell me your roads are wide, though?

[Scratchie]

Why is the EMS station right next to the hospital basically? There's really no need for an EMS station if theres a hospital right 4 doors down.

Because the EMS don't stay at the hospital. Duh.

I changed the lighting on it to the HRP environment. Might change it again though. As for the roads they are'nt as wide as evocity but I might change that in some parts of the map. Its not that bad though. In evocity 2 ambulances and a person can fit in one lane tightly whereas rockford, only 2 ambulances fit in one lane. SO its about 64 units tighter then evocity. But like I said I'll widen some of the major roads.

Hospital is a destination, like a jail for PD. They are not going to start at the end point and move to where they need to be to transport someone back to the hospital. They spread out to minimize response time. This brings up the question, are there available areas for police and EMS to set up (IE near major intersections, near malls/supermarkets/gas stations) to be able to preform their duties and be out of the way of the general populous?

[Keskjer]

If you could I'd like to hear/see what you plan on doing for the Fire Training Center. All in all look'n good.

[Statua]

Finished the commercial, residential, and most of the outskirts base land. Here's a flock of pictures with my HRP lighting.

looks really nice, il hop on right on release date to see it . really good job statua

[Statua]

Updated the blueprint/map. This one should/will be the final.

[Crap-Head]

Updated the blueprint/map. This one should/will be the final.

I know the sketch is rough, but please just remember to have plenty of spaces for parking (like v33x has), spaces for bus stops, and lots of different places for people to live in. I see a lot of freespace on the drawing. Just fill it out with something useful instead of mainly trees

[OwenCobs]

Some secluded homes might be nice too

The old blueprint (which isn't in this thread anymore) shows plenty of parking spaces in the city, as well as area for bus stops, and current development pictures and things shown in Statua's stream show parking. There actually isn't, by the way, a lot of freespace in the city area, and you wouldn't put parking outside the city, except at gas stations. Areas that look like "freespace" on this current blueprint are elevated, inaccessible land, necessary to Statua's optimization techniques.

Some secluded homes might be nice too

I see a few secluded homes on the blueprint.

[OwenCobs]

Yeah I never noticed up top it saying in all caps "HOME" ignore me

[Statua]

Yeah there's tons of parking. Here's a 'satellite' image of the city. The blue P's are all places you can park. Some are lots whereas others are lanes.

Was screwing around with light_environment, constant lights, and the day/night script. Here's what I got. All these pictures were taken in the same session nothing has been modifed or filtered other then the lua for the light_environment and basic I/O for the constant light:
