Pack of British Road Markings, Road Signs and Roadside Clutter for OMSI 2

British Road Detailing Pack 2 for OMSI 2

British Road Markings, Road Signs and Roadside Clutter.

All signs and road markings contained within this pack are made to conform as closely as possible to the DfT standards.

All road marking splines include usage guidelines at the top of the file to advise on how to use them.

Notes:

• This pack has been made for OMSI 2 and WILL NOT WORK with OMSI 1 (it uses splines with transparency, a feature implemented in OMSI 2)
• I cannot be held personally responsible if the installation of this pack directly or indirectly results in the breaking of your OMSI installation or installed map(s); or loss of data.

Installation:

british-road-detailing-pack-2's Issues

Version conflict causes texture glitches

Installing 2.0.0->2.0.6 over the top of an existing 2.1-> installation results in both symbols.tga and symbols.dds existing. Although the overwritten model files say to use the tga, OMSI automatically loads the dds instead, with the textures mapped to random areas of the new texture. Also affects traffic lights, where both traf_LED.bmp and traf_LED.dds exist.

Poles don't cast shadows

Needs investigation into what causes this, but some objects (the poles included) don't cast shadows despite having a [shadow] tag.

Text-overflow corrupts tiles

Entering a too-long string into right-aligned text fields (e.g. distance fields) causes the text to overflow into negative texture space. This causes the sign to disappear and not be loaded. The sign failing to load then causes tile loading to fail, requiring the sign to be manually removed from tile files to recover them.

Buses hit invisible walls when going under bridges with height restriction/warning signs

Some signs (notably including height restriction/warning signs that are commonly placed above the road on bridges) have hitboxes that extend up to ~2 metres below the sign.
