    Hi,

    Whilst building my current city, I thought that it would be good to have a highway intersection with limited access, i.e. when coming from one direction you can go in two directions, but only one when coming in the other. The best way to describe it would be the current T-intersection halved. I would try to make this myself, but only having normal SC4 and Rush Hour and not the Deluxe package, I am unable to start the LOT editor and do it myself. Anyone interested?

    Sure, thousands are interested. Projects like this have also been started already.

    However, it's the same story as always: Out of 200 people who request such stuff, there is not one who has the capability to do it, or even the real will to take it into his own hands. Let's face it, you could easily get all the tools and start yourself*. So could hundreds of other people. The problem is, nobody does it, and those few who do are chronically overworked, and we can be happy if they manage to finish 1% of the projects and ideas that have been suggested and/or started. That's the way things are, no offense intended. Ideas are plenty - six- or eight-lane highways, double and triple-decker highways, split highway trumpet interchanges with "Speed"-like jump UDI missions... you get the idea. 2.gif Creators are few, so your chances to see what you'd like to see are somewhere around a one-digit percentage, I'd say.

    Besides, such an intersection would require custom 3D modeling, which does not work with the Lot Editor alone. You'd need gmax and the BAT.

    ___________
    *: SC4 + Rush Hour is exactly the same as Deluxe, both are 100% identical, and there is no reason why you wouldn't be able to use the tools. Deluxe is nothing different than SC4 "Vanilla" plus the Rush Hour Expansion in one Box with a slightly different cover and slightly different CD labels.

    I would gladly do it myself However, on trying to install the LOT Editor it says "Unable to read registry". Any thoughts? That BAT Editor says "Sim City 4" not installed.

    Do you have any NoCD patches, or did you use a CD image to play SimCity4? These error reports sound as if SimCity hadn't been installed properly. I know the same happened to people who made a backup copy of SC4 as CD image and went back to that copy after a HD re-format instead of properly installing the game once again. Have you tried a "normal" re-installation yet?

    I got the same error. I think it was because I used a CD image. Anyone know how I could fix it without reinstalling it?
