Transmexican Superhighway
(4)


Click image for larger preview


Constructed just before the outbreak of the Second Tiberium War, the Transmexican Superhighway allowed GDI to move troops and supplies by road into South America for over a decade.  By the end of the war, all the bases along GDI's soon-to-be-completed Amazon Firestorm Barrier were supplied by this one roadway, but fears of attack by Nod along this crucial supply line meant that GDI switched to airlifting supplies into South America using dropship stations.

I guess we could/should add traffic... my comprehension of triggers is still pretty limited, so I'll leave it for now.

Would be cool if they were trains so it'd be like Frogger getting across.

The highway is the lowest area of the map. #Tongue
But a cool map anyway. I agree to the suggested traffic/train.

The greenest area of the map is the map.

Any major road in the United States is a highway, unless it is an interstate.

In the state I live in, a parkway connects two interstates. The definition varies state by state.

Yeah, I was working from some helicopter shots of Arizona.

Although it doesn't matter much, I just wanted the map to have a long name #Tongue

I wonder which kind of text the signs along the road will show. Smile

Adds for fuel ("Original Fossil Fuels, $16.25 per litre"), a billboard telling us that "New Phoenix is the safest city in the state!", and a sign advertising McMorpher Burger, among others.

Mexicans don't use highways! What the hell is wrong with you, Morpher? Dirty mexicans using highways... wtf is the world coming to? #Tongue

In all reality, it's a nice map. I like it. Smile

Not until a certain BuildConst is fixed.

Yeah, you can have the graphics for two different MCVs, but getting them to deploy into two different buildings is the unpleasant part - the AI doesn't play ball because it only reads the first entry of BuildConst.

BuildConst, the saga continues.

Actually, maybe I should make a public topic for what would make a good construction yard seeing as both factions will need to share the same for skirmish.

Yeah, Morpher, that'd make sense.

According to Joshy, BuildConst is so deep in the code and so intertwined with other things that nobody is likely to touch it. Not sure how that holds up in the face of syringe powered patches, but I guess that the evidence is on the side of BuildConst not getting fixed.

I'd be keen to see a new construction yard for both factions.

ztype new con yards, 1 con yard, keep it simple. The rest of the mod looks beautiful and to have it held back by -con yards- is absurd.

Thumbs up for Volgin. I never complained about the shared Con Yard (or any other structures) in TD, RA1 or TS.

I'm all for separate conyards... I don't wanna share the same building with GDI if I don't have to. XD

Since it seems impossible without some major .exe hacking (which I know nothing about...), I do think it should be put to the side for now until CCHyper can work some magic with the HyperPatch...

...You know, if EA would just release the damn source code, we wouldn't have this problem... XD

There's no grass here... Just contaminated dirt. (It's grey/brown with tib crystals in it. It can sometimes look like grass at a glance. Perhaps it can be fixed.)

Since it is a shared building, I've been interested in seeing what PEOPLE would create since not many modellers make dual faction models, I was simply curious as to what Orac had in store.

I had been thinking of something cranelike, since that would allow a 3x3 structure without much faction specific iconography. This line of thought might be better split into a new topic, perhaps if discussion continues, because I'd be interested in any other opinions on this particular structure - it's not something to be approached willy-nilly.

Perhaps make it lighter. The grass has almost the same dark green colour, hence they get mixed up.
