C4BHWO/OR Project

[schm0 27]

Fantastic update direct from Tarkus on sc4dev... Enjoy

Hi Scott-

The ramp you've suggested as part of the C4BHWO/OR project (nice acronym, by the way Wink) is definitely possible. When I have a little bit more time, that's something I could definitely look into.

I think it may just be a matter of re-doing the Elevated Highway version by changing some coordinates of the model in the Reader. It is actually possible to redo the model mathematically that way (and that's actually how most NAM pieces are produced nowadays). After that, it would mainly be a simple fix with the CheckTypes and changing the RUL CheckTypes from Elevated to Ground Highway.

If you're curious about why I haven't planned on interfacing the MIS with the Maxis Highways, it is primarily for the same reason you're pursuing this project. The scaling difference between the two networks is vast (all networks in the game including the RHW and MIS are close to 100% RL scale, whereas the Maxis Highways are at 50% scale). It would be extremely difficult to reconcile them aesthetically, unless I redid the Maxis Highways. However, I have considered doing this, as I would like to somehow provide the community with a better looking highway/freeway aimed for more urban usage.

As far as the best place to contact me, I'm hardly ever at ST anymore, and I've essentially moved all of my developmental work over here to SC4D now, so this is the easiest way to contact me.

Hope that answers your questions, and I'm happy to help out. Smiley

Best Regards,

Alex (Tarkus)
