About This File
Short description:
This is a set of tunnel entrances for various traffic routes. By interconnecting them with either FLUP puzzle pieces (from the Network Addon Mod) or subway routes, you can create fully working tunnels, even curved tunnels, tunnels to other cities or underpasses otherwise difficult to realize.
There are tunnel entrances for the subsequently mentioned traffic routes: (see screenshots below)
- Road (#1)
- One-Way Road (#2)
- Avenue (#3)
- Maxis Street (#4)
- SAM Streets: from 2 to 11 (in this order from #5 to #11)
- RHW: 2 (#12), 4 (#13a, #13b), MIS (#14a, #14b)
- Railway: Default Maxis textures (#15a), SFBT textures (#15b), Single-Track Rail (#16), Viaduct (#17)
- Monorail: BTM (#18), GHSR (#19), HSR (#20)
For a complete description and tutorial how to use them, please refer to the readme file in the download.
Note concerning the Railway Viaduct Tunnel Entrance: You may note that the screenshot below shows only the grey textures for the viaduct. According to a note of Xyloxadoria in this thread, the textures should automatically adapt if you have installed other textures.
Note for users of the Full Cobblestone Street Override Mod: On the download button, there's a separate file called z_Tunnel Entrance SAM 8 FCS Override.dat available; please download this, it will override the SAM tunnel entrance to use a cobblestone base texture.
Dependencies:
- Network Addon Mod Version 36 or newer (includes: Street Addon Mod, Real Highway Mod, Bullet Train Mod, High Speed Rail Project)
- Hillside GLR to subway transition by morifari (required for the tunnel portals on ground level, adds an extra tunnel portal for GLR)
- Hillside EL to subway transition (required for the tunnel portals for elevated routes, adds an extra tunnel portal for Elevated Rail)
-
SAM Stopper (required for several overlay textures)not necessary anymore - MGB Texture Pack: required for the overlay textures of the SAM tunnel entrances
- SFBT Essentials: required for the Full Cobblestone Street Override mod (only if you are using this mod)
Currently available languages: English, German
Installation:
Extract all files to a folder where you will find them. Move or copy this folder into your Plugins sub-folder of your edition of SimCity 4 (for instance: C:/Programs/Maxis/SimCity 4/Plugins). If you have installed previous versions of this plugin, please remove their files beforehand (you do not need to bulldoze the tunnel entrances in your cities themselves).
To uninstall, please remove all files coming with this plugin from your Plugins subfolder.
If there are some tunnel entrances that you won’t use, you may want to open the plugin folder and delete the corresponding files (every tunnel entrance has its own file).
Note for users of Version 3 or previous:
In previous versions, there has been a bug that caused the actual passenger capacity of the RHW-2 and RHW-4 tunnel entrance (with the yellow line left) to be much lower than displayed. This has been fixed now, but you need to remove any mentioned tunnel entrance you have already built in your city, and build a new one at its place.
Note for users of the Full Cobblestone Street Override Mod:
The file z_Tunnel Entrance SAM 8 FCS Override.dat (available as a separate download at the same thread where you got the base plugin from) overrides all content of the file Tunnel Entrance SAM 8 Cobblestone Street.dat and adapts its base texture accordingly. You only need to keep the respective file in your Plugins folder, ideally, you should delete the other one to prevent a plugin conflict.
Compatibility:
Since this plugin requires installation of the Network Addon Mod, it is only compatible with SimCity 4: Rush Hour, or SimCity 4 Deluxe.
Credits:
- morifari and Andreas Roth for the tunnel portals
- grain79 for two base mods introducing tunnel entrances
- Network Addon Mod Team
- Xyloxadoria for Viaduct, GHSR, and HSR props
To be done:
- I may include tunnel entrances for NWM routes, RHW-6, RHW-8, and RWH-10 in later updates as soon as I can find larger tunnel portals.
