[to devs] How to add new, own surfaces and ground tiles?

[signum_temoris]

In asset editor we have tools designed to work with ground surfaces:
- parks > surface tools,
- parks > decoration > paths,
- parks > residential > ground tiles.
Question is how to add new tiles to existing ones? Do we need to create one cell size flat object covered with new texture to make new tile?

I have been looking through game files to find a way to do this too,
I want new parking space graphics, the default ones are just odd.

I did some sets of ground surfaces for Cities XL. Here are examples:
- 5 decorative plazas
- 5 mosaic plazas
I would like to know how to make similar for Cities Skyline.

Nobody can help? There are only very few ground and surface tiles and would be nice to have more variety.

Any answer from CO? Nobody interested in more variations of surface tiles?

That is not possible at the moment iirc...

Why? I didn't find any mention about that. There is only info about vehicles and citizens.

For first it would be nice to get answer from CO devs how ground tiles are made - is that so big problem? Are these flat textured objects or simply only textures? If these are textured objects it should be possible to add these as props but I want to know how to add tiles to mentioned in first post tool categories of asset editor.

PM TotalyMoo as I don't think he manages to see every post on here.

I followed your suggestion - hope we will get answer soon.

Not sure, but if it isn't in the modding wiki I'm pretty sure it's not doable at the moment.
