About This File

This mod will give your monorail network an extremely restrictive slope, so be warned!

 

The Bullet Train slope mod, originally created by APTX  is now available for download on the STEX!
-This mod was released as a part of the original Bullet Train Mod (BTM) which replaces the monorail network.
-Due to it's high demand and hard to find download location, I have decided to make it a separate download for those who just want the slope mod. I have now made it available for your downloading pleasure!

Simply extract the file into your plugins folder  and you will be able to drag your monorail network with smooth slopes. This slope mod is extremely restrictive, as you can see in the attached screenshot comparing it to a road with no slope mod (default) that isn't very restrictive and the RHW Slope Mod which is moderately restrictive. The photo shows a comparison of the amount of tiles you need to drag your networks to reach the 'ground lifter's' height from the hole digging lots package.

As with my other uploads to the STEX, good faith is assumed (such as my uploads from APTX in the past). Credit for creating this for this mod belongs to APTX . I have simply uploaded it here. I would also like to thank Caspervg for providing technical and background information surrounding this mod.

Dependencies: None!

Please post any questions or concerns you have with the mod below or to the BTM support thread.

Lastly, enjoy creating realistic slopes with your monorail network!

I just downloaded some other Slope Mod the other day because I was watching you Building A City From Scratch series. And made me want to use a Slope Mod again. I was looking for one very similar to yours. 5/5 Nice.

Not sure if I'm doing this correctly; and I'm probably not, but either the slope mod is not restrictive enough, or I've got something backwards.  I've re-installed the NAM 31.2 using the Custom selection and had it install the BTM this time (instead of placing the files in from a separate download).  I've also unchecked the HSR part in the install, since I don't use that either.  I download this file, and no matter where I put it in the folder structure, or however many "z's" I place in front of it ... it doesn't seem to work right.  I've watched Haljackey's Building a City From Scratch series on YouTube, and I'm not getting anywhere near that.  In fact; it almost does the opposite.  For instance, when I raise the ground up some height, and start running the monorail tracks, it wants to flatten everything down.  It doesn't create the "gentle" slope downwards ... just tries to make it flat.  Also, if I run some length of RHW or Maxis Avenue, I can't seem to re-slope it either; I just get creases in the road.  Even if I lay the Bullet Train rails it looks creased and bumpy - not flat, or how it would look in the the aforementioned YouTube series.

 

Is there somewhere specifically that this file needs to be?  Is there a hidden slope mod that comes with the NAM that's interfering?  I have no other custom slope mod installed; just the latest NAM and this file.  Can't make this one work for anything.

Ahhh here's what I'm missing. I got the RHW slope mod, but was in need of this one for my RHW 6C. Thanks. Also enjoying your Building a city from scratch series. Great stuff.
