Very well done! Very nice layout, descriptions, and overall excellence. I especially love the chalk outline :D

This is amazing and such a great idea. I'm curious about the mother and child symbol. Is that something common in certain countries? I've never seen it before.

Hi F-P, so glad you noticed this thread since I just tried to mail you to tell you about it - was hoping you would be interested. What can I do to persuade you to update the cars you have already made? I would happily link any cars that are updated to use this so you get some extra advertising?

It's something used in the UK anyway - don't know if anywhere else. Essentially so that mother's with young children can park near the doors.

This can be used on all lots - even residential, although I'm not sure why you would ever want this on a purely residential lot, other than perhaps for testing it. I didn't restrict it though.

oh, I'm actually in the credits of this awesome creation! Thanks so much, this adds so much realism to the game!
Well, it could indeed be useful for residential lots in urban areas to have random cars parked around the street everytime the sim returns from a trip.

As far as I could tell from the demopics, it only circles through the cars but not the recolors of these so it's always the same color, right? No real problem I mean, but maybe there's a way to add that feature and you're bored someday...

I might be updating all of my cars to go with this and Numenor's cars w/o NL. It depends on the time I have. But I'm very interested in doing so.

You are very observant psychosim0. It does indeed only use the default colors of the cars. I could not find a way of applying a different material to an object from outside of that object. I considered making a Call Tree in Car Globals, but had not yet found out how to ask an object how many materials it had in order to randomise through them. Maybe if I learn that technique (if indeed it exists) I'll be able to update. Shame really since there are SOOOO many recolors to the custom cars out there.

Anyone who know more about change material opcode, do get in touch
