TheoTown

Hi,
here I have a Breakwater/Seawall Set for your coastlines. It appears in the park menu.
It contains a set of straights (with and without a signalling lamp), inner corners, outer corners (all to be placed on the water tile next to the shore) and an endpiece (to be placed on land).
You have to rotate the pieces to the desired orientation and puzzle together your custom coastlines. It might seem a bit complicated but it gets pretty easy and quick once you get the hang of it
Please note that the seawall only looks good, if the coast tile next to it is covered by another piece from the game, a street or a plaza etc. Bare land next to the pieces will leave gaps and look weird. ALternatively, you can also place the pieces back to back in order to create slimmer dams.

The Set is inspired by a Set for Simcity 4 which was made by a player named Jeronij: http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filed ... lotGET=112
However, I modeled all the pieces in this set from scratch for Theotown.

The set is, in my eyes, equally well suited for urban and for more rural or industrial settings (See images below).

Have fun!

UPDATE:
Thanks to @KoalaGuy , we now also have a linetool version of the seawalls:

I recommend using them together with my original puzzle pieces (zip file below). There is no need to remove or replace the old version.

You are seriously talented, could you maybe make some military plug-ins?

Amazing!! What program do you use? Paint.net?

Thank you.
Well, maybe at a later time. I'm currently working on some other stuff as well.
But, what kind of military plugins are you thinking about? I mean, the original military addon is pretty comprehensive already, isn't it?

No, PS.
But I'm sure this could be done in other programs like paint.net or gimp, too.

Suggestion:
Make a transparent one.
Like with draw_ground.
So it can blend with the ambient.
Thus no requiring plazas.

All the pieces use "draw ground" already.
You put them on the water tile next to the land tile and it covers the brownish foundation that is generated by the game when placing a road etc. next to water. If you don't put a land-piece next to it, the original coastline will shine through.

I don't see another way of doing it, because the game cuts away everything from the png that is below the original ground tile, so you can only cover something behind and not in front of a tile.

Maybe this image helps to clarify it some more:

Shooting range with a little bullet fire (like a yellow pixel) animation would be sick

Well, I would have to look into animations then first...
So, no promises.
But the idea is good.

Where's the download link?

Where's the download link?

Don't worry, It is there again. See "edit" in the first post.

Guys How do you download?

You click on link provided.

Once downloaded, use a/your file manager to extract the zip file.

Urmmmmm how? Screenshots?

It will be different on every device. Fileviewer will extract zips, if your file manager won't.

For tiles near or in water you can cover pixels in front of the tile. The reason for the cutting in other cases is drawing order. Tiles are drawn from top to bottom, so lower tiles may overdraw upper ones. Water isn't drawn as individual tiles anymore (except of water shading) but before anything else.

That's the reason why the brownish foundations of roads can appear, right?
I noticed that they extent into the tile in front.

Exactly.

I like those shores strewned with stones. You can calmly add to the game
