Euro bridge 03 (PROCEDURAL)

Euro bridge 03 by pauljchris

Finally updated to show in props menu when using latest version of Procedural Objects mod. Additonal single span piece added to enable small extensions to each side of the bridge.

Larger stone bridge of a style commonly found in European cites. As a procedural object you can change its width and scale or both while in the game to take any type of road from a humble pedestrian walkway right up to a multi track high way bridge with railroad or any combination you can think of ! Originally built for Cities XL by Monty http://xlnation.city/resources/montys-bridge-pack-xl-and-xxl.176/. Converted for use in Cities: Skylines by myself with permisson of the original author.

IMPORTANT You must subscribe to the Procedural objects mod before downloading this asset or the bridge will only appear as a static prop with no control over the width or height. Before using the Procedural assets mod it is highly recommended to watch a short video by the author of the mod in order to familiarize yourself with the controls for manipulating procedural objects when in the game. http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1094334744

Once you have subscribed to the procedural objects mod and this asset then search for the model in the props menu using Find it. Once located , click on it to select the object so that it becomes attached to your cursor tip but do not click again to place it in the game world just yet. Instead hit SHIFT + P to turn it into a procedural object , it will temporarily dissapear, then click again in the game world to place it.

NB There are NO LODS with procedural objects. Instead performance is controlled by a render distance slider which is set for each object when first placed in the game world. This controls the distance when the object disappears and is no longer drawn by the engine. For very large objects such as this bridge , this number needs to be set to at least 5000.

Although not essential to load the model into the game, a number of mods are required in order to be able to place road pieces on top of the bridge without their associated bridge furniture which would obviously clash with the model and look terrible. NO pillars mod, Fine Road Anarchy, Move It, and Fine Road Tool are all recommended to be used in combination to achieve this.

Placement tips and instructions

1/ The default width for each piece is 120M. One will cover a small river but 2 pieces or more are required to cover a large capital city sized river. Open the procedural objects menu and select the model from the list. Click in the game world at the approximate location for your bridge to place the first piece. Scale and rotate it to taste and check your scale by placing a sample section of your desired road or roads across it. This can be any type of roads or combination of roads in the game that have elevated models ( which is most of them). Try to get the your chosen road piece to align with the centre axis of the bridge. it does not matter whether your chosen road is too narrow or too wide at this stage, just that it is aligned centrally.

2/ Adjust the width of the bridge to match your chosen placed roads by selecting the control points one at a time using the Procedural objects mod in Position mode. Adjust both sides of the bridge in turn to match the width of your chosen road. Dont forget to set the draw distance correctly before copying the model. The recommended setting for a large object such as this is at least 5000 to avoid it dissapearing when you zoom out from the bridge.

3/ When you are happy with your width, delete your placeholder roads and then copy and paste using CTRL-C and CTRL-V to place as many pieces as you require for your desired length of bridge. Manouvre each piece into position with the mod controls to line up exactly with your starting piece. This can be a bit fiddly, patience is recommended but the result wil be worth it.

4/ Complete the bridge by drawing a road or rail section across it using the Fine Road Tool Mod in conjunction with the No pillars mod and any Road Anarchy mod in order that no bridge furniture from the vanilla game bridges is drawn. Fine tune the placement of the road to precisely match the bridge model by using Move it on the individual nodes of the road.


If you have read this far then good luck making your own bridge with this asset.
