Quarterpipes and some other stuff

Description
If your flavour is endless ramps, this is a full set of hardboard quarterpipe pieces. It's been kicking around with me for a couple of weeks because I'd made the textures too big for something like this. They are acceptable now.

The Loading Screen Mod is recommended - you will save ram if you use it here. There's really no reason not to use it under almost any circumstance.

Asset Stats
Tris and such: Of the 14 pieces, the inside corners are the most complex geometry-wise with ~420 tris - but the rest are in the 150-300 range.
Lod tris are all under 100, with some of the simpler pieces being in the 15-30 range.

Textures for the main meshes are 256. I really fought with that - but it's good for everyone, since most of these chime in at less than a mb in file size. 14 pieces for 9mb is ok in my book.
LoD textures are either 128 or 64. Mostly 64. Very small. This is a smallish thing.

No colour variations but everything's present that's needed.

About
There are 14 pieces in this set, one decal and the rest props. There are two height variations for straight, inside corner and outside corner quarterpipe pieces. There are two high-to-low transition pieces, mirrored so you can have them both ways. There is a tall ramp and a short ramp, both meet the tops of the other pieces. And there's a little rounded funbox that plops in different size variations. I call it The Nub. NOFX is one of my favourite bands. I was a punk kid in the 90s. If you were too, you may get the reference.

Texture sharing
All of the quarterpipe pieces share same texture files, pixel for pixel. If you use the Loading Screen Mod, matched textures will only be loaded once for all assets that use them. The decal and the funbox share the same textures - both ramps do too. There is some variation in the LoD textures, but there is also some texture sharing there as well. So, pretty good bang for your ram-buck here.

As for the old skatepark set, the look here is quite a bit more muted and darker - but still hardboard. I've set them up so that if you do feel like combining pieces from both sets, the taller quarterpipes and ramps should align nicely.

I was going to try to build this with those old textures, but then I remembered that the raw stuff for those props are on the old desktop - and its hard drive went to Hard Drive Heaven last summer. I don't even know what I used.

Anyways, have fun with this - and let me know if something is broken. I am human, and no one is checking my work. I do not mind any errors you have to report.

Oh crap, right:

Suggested Mods, in addition to the Loading Screen Mod

Find it: I've named everything with a 'Skate' prefix. Download this mod, type 'Skate' into the Find It search field and you should see everything included in the pack.

Move it: Because you'll want to fine tune props after you've placed them.

Prop Line Tool: Each piece here repeats pretty well - should you want to create strung-together versions of each.

Prop Snapping: If you feel like you want to attach a quarterpipe to a wall or a hospital.

Prop Precision: You're going to want to be precise if you manually plop these things.

Prop and Tree Anarchy: Because you want to place these things everywhere, right?

Transparent Selectors: To be even more precise, why not disable that hud garbage that shows up when you plop things? Seriously, this is a wonderful addition to the game.

Surface Painter: Use your map theme's pavement texture and create something organic.

More Beautification: Because you don't need to use just my props to make your skatepark. Why not set ramps over vehicles? A certain horseman statue? Trash cans, even? We live in an era of props.

Could you make them a little bit lighter? They're too dark next to your first set. Otherwise, really good mod. Thumbs up!
