About This File

*** Please read the Installation Notes below (concerning the new NAM)

*** New Fence Props have been released!
Go Get Them!

Lay the GLR tracks in your city in a safe setting! This plugin contains some new GLR puzzle pieces, enclosed by Fences.

These puzzle pieces are based on existing GLR (textures and paths), but have fence props. They do not replace the original GLR tiles, instead they can be connected and intermixed with "normal" GLR in any combination.

Credits
- Special thanks to Tarkus and memo for the help and the information they have provided.

The following tiles have been made:
- Straight
- 90° Turn
- Long Right and Left Turn
- Diagonal
- T Junction
- Right and Left Junction
- Diagonal Right and Left Junction
- Y Junction
- W Junction
- Straight (Single-Sided)

The "fence" props can be everything, (fences, bushes, hedges, noise-absorbing walls, stone walls, metallic barriers etc); they are implemented as prop families, and also a mechanism that allows selection of a specific prop (out of the set of props in the family) has been devised. This means that you can have more than one prop model in the same city at the same time. The plugin currently contains only one fence prop, more are about to be released soon.
The tiles are accessible through an additional button in the Misc Transit Menu, just next to the original GLR button.
Both an installer and a zip version are included.

Dependencies
The only dependency is Network Addon Mod, versionJune 2007 or later.

June 28 2008 update: Not really an update, just removed file NAM_Override_FencedGLR.dat from the installation.

*** Important Installation Notes (Please Read):
The necessary RUL entries are already included in NAM's main controller since version June 2007. So file NAM_Override_FencedGLR.dat is no
longer needed (it was needed for NAM Jan 2007). You must delete this file because it causes conflict with any NAM version other than Jan 2007.
This is a "normal" NAM Plugin, and the installation directory no longer needs to start with ZZ_...

A great little mod that quickly becomes indispensable. Let's face it, no one wants their sims inadvertently wandering onto tram tracks and becoming an accident statistic.

Some might argue the mechanism for swapping fence styles is a little clunky, but that shows a lack of understanding about the limitations of the game. Considering that, you've come up with a fine solution that enables something that would otherwise take a huge number of menu items or simply not otherwise be possible.

So all in, this mod allows for more realism, added safety and even beautifies the overall appearance of the GLR network to boot. Great stuff, thanks for sharing.
