That's a bug in the placement algorithm - the buildings shouldn't extend past the edges of the city landclass. I'm planning to fix that before checking it into git. > Does this have to an US-style rectangular street grid, or can we come up with > an algorithm to draw > more European-style street patterns (I think an adaption of the Markov chains > I've been using for the > undulatus cloud patterns might do the trick)? The current city textures are US-style rectangular street grids. Placement and rotation of the buildings uses the terrain-masking, where a second texture is used as a mask for placement and rotation. If you have a more European city texture, it would take ~1hr to create a suitable mask (the difficult bit is mentally converting the rotation in degrees into a 0-256 colour value!). Note also that changes I made to the materials.xml loading a couple of months ago so that any <condition> tags on the material definition are evaluation at tile loading time, and the directory structure would make it very easy to apply such a texture/mask to just European cities. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
