If someone can just figure out how to animate canal locks that actually function... that would be epic.

This looks awesome and I'd love to use it. But, I can't figure out how to place it against a road as required . . . but still have my canal continue if that makes sense. The road it seems I have to place blocks the canal. Of course, it's my error. Can anyone explain? Thx!

Why is this power hungry? Locks use very little energy because Earth's gravity does all the work.

really awesome - i like it.

Can you make a working shipping canal lock that lets the large container ships and passenger ships through. That would be awesome. Perhaps its something the Devs should do.

I'm subscribed to all the necessary assets and mods but this does not show up in my parks menu. Any ideas?

@GCVos - Great! Can't wait to use them.

@ Jobro: I'm planning to add the corners from the US version to the EU version, that way you won't need any extra parts. :)

@ Challenger: Sorry to hear that, but I doubt it's the asset causing a game break.

Caused my save game to break afrer modifying the terrain and placing item.

@GCVos: Just subscribed to your sea walls. Cracking assets, you really did make a superb job of it. Can't wait to use it in game. :D

If its not too much to ask, would it be possible for you to make versions for corners and sharp edges etc?
GCVos  [author] Oct 17, 2015 @ 1:58am 
You have to be precise mate and learn the tools, you can't expect me to do everything for you.
EEYE Oct 15, 2015 @ 4:28pm 
i have try make like u on the screen piture but the the kostline will not make it right rather its go to hih or its go to low an there is a big blå wal in the end of the cannal if i just could start a map whit the bordwalk and the cannal beginng it will be a big help kinda frustation for me to get its fix
GCVos  [author] Oct 15, 2015 @ 3:36pm 
Thank you Raptors!
@ EEYE: What can't you get to work? The thing doesn't do the terraforming for you, you will have to do that yourself. ;)
EEYE Oct 15, 2015 @ 9:28am 
cant get it to work it will be a great help if u could make a map where u have put it to work otherwish its to hard for me to get it to work
Ragin Oct 14, 2015 @ 11:53pm 
These assets are just great. Keep up the good work!
GCVos  [author] Oct 13, 2015 @ 5:55pm 
There's some options to have an asset flatten to a certain height, though I haven't personally experimented with it, I know Badpeanut did some prototype canal sections which I think did just that. Something I might look into at some point, but have a ton of other stuff I want/need to work on first...
RZ_new Oct 13, 2015 @ 5:34pm 
GCVos, I have a idea.
You know terraforming tool, ok?
If you make a way to create a thin and tall wall (mountain wall).
And be able to toggle that wall (create/delete) (spawn/remove) on mouse click ?
Think in have no pieces ploppable, just terraforming?
You know CTRL Z in MAP editor? You create a mountain and hit CTRL Z and then it vanishes.
Then the water phisics does the magic.
GCVos  [author] Oct 13, 2015 @ 1:53pm 
@RZ: And raise lower the water :)
@Reject: Thank you!
@Snide: You have to scroll to the back of your menu
@NLX: Kon ook bijna niet anders :P
80sreject Oct 12, 2015 @ 6:38pm 
great mod needed 100% favorite
RZ_new Oct 12, 2015 @ 7:58am 
It would be cool if CSL implements EVENTS to objects.
Imagine to be able to open and to close the gates?
GabiCerulean Oct 12, 2015 @ 6:51am 
it is not appearing in my menus and i have all the requirements
NLX78 Oct 12, 2015 @ 5:09am 
Hey bedank! Wist niet dat je Nederlands was maar had een klein vermoeden omdat je kanalen maakte en even je profiel bekeken ;)
GCVos  [author] Oct 12, 2015 @ 1:09am 
@ liuqinghua94: Sorry I don't speak Chinese :/
GCVos  [author] Oct 12, 2015 @ 1:08am 
@ Deswart: Glad you like them, thank you! All assets were regrouped and moved to the back of the menu. There's a bug right now causing the last few items to not always show up, which will hopefully be resolved after the next update.

@ Jobro: Yeah, the walls are gonna be published soon. :)

@ Elliot: I've always used Gimp alongside max, my textures are mostly photosourced from my own library. If I need stuff i don't already have I will use CGtextures or goodtextures. Then I use a number of programs for baking specs and normals, depending on the situation.
liuqinghua94 Oct 12, 2015 @ 12:05am 
好像很厉害的样子....但是这个会不会不兼容...
Darth Modus - God of Richards Oct 11, 2015 @ 3:18pm 
Love your assets GCVos. :)

If I may, would it be possible for you to make sea walls? Proper Sea Walls that connect and which you can plop a functioning road on top? Like the ones you have as your canal wall.
J_deswart Oct 11, 2015 @ 12:52pm 
I'm a great fan of these canal assets, they look absolutely amazing!
However, for some reason some of these, including this one doesn't show up in my park list, I'm subscribed, just like with the rest, which are working. But these and quite a few other don't show up in my game...
Breadboi Oct 11, 2015 @ 10:16am 
Thanks for replying. I already know how to 3d model, so I think that I might just need to learn how to make textures. How do you make yours?
Hoihaufen Oct 11, 2015 @ 6:26am 
This mod needs Canal Lock [Prop], which needs this mod.
?!?
GCVos  [author] Oct 11, 2015 @ 4:42am 
@ Baleur: Possibly I can make a 'canal' version of the wall blocks, so just one asset with walls on boths sides. Similar to 16x4 but wider. Still having standalone walls is a lot more flexible and also more easy for me to create.

@ Elliot: Probably not any time soon, I still have a lot of other content I'm working on. But I like the idea!
Baleur Oct 11, 2015 @ 4:13am 
(sorry for spamming your comments)
I'm talking about doing it the same way this police gate station was made, just so you get my idea. Basically just have some central model floating offset from the actual zone placement.

Police gate over avenue.

Baleur Oct 11, 2015 @ 4:11am 
Really, GCVos?
But i mean, what about this.
What about if you just make a version of your canal wall, where the model for the wall prop has a little central piece offset to the side (so essentially it is floating off to the side "in free space"). With the gates connecting it.

That way. One could construct a canal lock for free flowing water this way (naturally the gates wouldnt block the water, but it would at least allow dynamic water to just flow through the entire model).

Right side, one places a normal Canal wall, your previous asset.
Left side, one places the new Canal wall + central wall floating piece, with gates connecting to it.
Everything in the middle between those two canal walls would of course just be visual noclip models the water just flows right through, but it would be fine, it would still look as if there is a central wall with gates.
Breadboi Oct 10, 2015 @ 9:02pm 
I forgot to mention in my previous comment, I would do it, but I have no idea how. You seemed like the best mod author to do it, considering that you made these fantastic walls and canals.
Breadboi Oct 10, 2015 @ 9:01pm 
Can you make a dry dock asset? Such as one that is like what is shown in this photo:https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Dry_Dock_1.JPG
GCVos  [author] Oct 10, 2015 @ 5:33pm 
Thanks guys!

@ Baleur: No that will never happen. It would be up to CO or other modders to develop a proper network for that. Way out of my league I'm not even gonna try.

@ Dernix: A little early I haven't even finished the first one.
Jaentzen Oct 10, 2015 @ 5:22pm 
Will there be a version of the walls with some steps so the cims can reach the docks.. ?
Baleur Oct 10, 2015 @ 4:23pm 
Really really want to see if you could get this to work with allowing the dynamic water to flow through instead, to connect with your other "free form canal walls" :)
crylive Oct 10, 2015 @ 11:40am 
wtf :steamhappy: i´m Happy. Thanks so nice look
Unfunny.exe Oct 10, 2015 @ 11:21am 
this looks so good man, thanks bro!!:steamhappy:
GCVos  [author] Oct 10, 2015 @ 9:32am 
Thank you everybody!
These walls are new static ones, they are not entirely ready yet but I hope to finish them in the next week or so.

The map I'm working on is just completely flat and empty, all terraforming done manually. The city is horribly experimental with bad zoning everywhere so i won't be sharing it any time soon. I might start working on a new map/city once I'm satisfied with all the assets involved.
Sandman1424 Oct 10, 2015 @ 9:01am 
The modding community for this game is officially at Simcity 4 level. :happy_creep: I have over 200 mods installed and this is one of em,Thank you!
Dustreaper Oct 10, 2015 @ 4:13am 
Would love to play that map looks amazing.
Patman_44 Oct 10, 2015 @ 12:21am 
what wall is this next to the canal lock?

love your canal assets! But I have a Problem to place the walls to look good
SBruleMD Oct 9, 2015 @ 6:48pm 
I have all my space ready for these canals, but I'm waiting for the beautiful walls your screenshots before I start implementing:... :hardhat:
I can smell you Oct 9, 2015 @ 12:15pm 
very nice ! Can u upload the map/savegame where u build it ? It looks amazing
Mandari Oct 9, 2015 @ 11:06am 
Amazing job. simply amazing, should be added to vanila game tbh.
Ryno Oct 9, 2015 @ 7:34am 
Ya know, you really are making it difficult to avoid using your static canal assets... They're getting more and more appealing all the time. ;) nice work!
[TB] NickyZero Oct 9, 2015 @ 5:19am 
Just awesome :) Btw, do you have link to these other superb sea walls you are using? :)
B.I.G. Oct 9, 2015 @ 5:18am 
GcVos it's beautiful, can upload your save game?
