Dirt roads and intersections issues
So I've literally spent days
looking for a real solution to the issue with how the dirt roads display so poorly in CAW.
Surprise surprise. I didn't really find one. I was going to tackle working on it myself. I'm not bad with photoshop, but when I realized the .dds files needed a different program I gave up on that idea pretty quick. So then I was hoping someone else had already solved the opacity issue for me and I just went in search of the file somewhere I could download. It still seems weird to me that I couldn't find
any dds files for download at all - considering how many other threads have been made on this exact issue. (If anyone has working files, please share, or provide a link!)
From the various threads I've read through it seems like different people get different results with the same files. So no promises that everyone will get the same results with my experiments, I just thought I'd share what I discovered just in case it's of use to anyone else.
Aaaaaaanyway, I attached everything in jpg files, the first image showing all 4 types I think are usable, and then the rest are the individual roads and the files I used (hopefully they're not too difficult to make out.) None of these are perfect, but at least you can see what each file configuration will produce, and you can pick whichever one suits your needs best. You could even mix and match. Good luck!
Note: If you're having a hard time making out the file names, just right click on the image and save it to your computer. You should be able to zoom in enough from your own image viewer to read everything!
