NAM General Discussion Thread

[ardecila 124]

s'OK, RedLotus. I'll be happy with any sort of rail viaduct put out by the project. I understand how you want excellence and professionalism in this project and I respect that. That comment by BigRedFish really gets to the heart of the Network Addon Mod: practically an expansion pack in itself.

Mikeyb, I know it's a totally different, probably thread-unrelated idea, but I'd rather see that viaduct as a bridge. With the Rain Modd, we could get some really cool effects (like that awesome viaduct in Harry Potter).

I finally got my NAM working after taking things in & out of the plugins folder. I have to say that the hard work that goes into this mod is amazing. It is the best thing to happen to SimCity 4 since BAT buildings. Your first interchange was top class except for the unbroken lines but it's still great. If anyone wants to consider or try an interchange, see if you can give this one a go:

For those who don't know what a Melway is, it is a melbourne stree directory. The high (free (in oz)) ways are green, the avenues (highways (in oz) are black and the ,________, things mean bridges and tunnels. The arrows are for Australians (we drive on the LHS) and forget the black overpass near the M1 route marker at the bottom. A bit of a challenge I think.

Dave,

Those Highway signs - how did you get them in? - did I miss something?

Ok...Tropod got everything working and it looks great. Found these in my plug-in folder 1. a trafficfix mnod that was hidden in a folder  and the roadoverrailoverpass mod took both of them out and it cleared up the problem. (these were downloaded a while back and were hidden.)

I'll try it another time (i think it was the file name) (see bottom of page 16 for post this picture refers to)

i have these' bus stops/sub stations/both' lots that plop onto 'roads/streets/1way/avenues' directly, are these included, do i take them out? i dont want to lose these things.

[+Guest]

They aren't included, but I've discovered that they block cars and such from passing.............

[gambit529 0]

not me. they work great. the one ways are tricky cause they cause the other side to go in the other direction. you have to rerun a oneway in the direction you originally had.



and tropod....i still havent been able to get that interchange thats why i was wondering about thos bus/subway stops

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

Tropod is there a-way that i can just have just the Interchange?...Like Just the Interchangeand nothing else.........

[Equinox 1,209]

Rob, you're doing something wrong then, because they all work marvelously for me and I have all this stuff too ...

[aerojad 8]

Does anyone know whatever happened to these?

[smirkazor 1]

WOAH! now that is what i call some brilliant interchange thingys u have shown there, i would love to see more of those kinda ones in simcity4 or even in 5 aerojad.

I asked the same question and Tropod said that it can't be done. Just remove the old transit modds and roadtop bus stops. If any probems occur, remove all of the traffic related files you have. It worked for me.

I really like the new stack interchange, but I have one small complaint.  Where the highway splits and goes up/down, there is too much of a slope.  That would be one hell of a ride though!  Oh well, it's not that major...  Keep up the good work!

The Great Chozo's highway stack interchange is getting skinned and pathed right now.

The avenue wye just needs to be rendered, and then I will submit it for skinning and pathing.

[+Guest]

In my Ralston region I used the bus stop/subway avenue one, and suddeny all my cars were turning off onto side streets that did not have stops on them, then turned back onto my avenues. Busses would work too, but subways all had 0% usage (and I had a pretty extensive system). At least this one doesn't work.

Excellent! I was hoping these things wouldn't die, good to see they're not

[Ryan B 35]

I was wondering what had happened to those two interchanges - I'm glad they're getting worked on!  I've already picked out some places where I can use them for sure in my cities!

[joexcooldude 1]

I am having a problem with the new ortho interchange. It says above the interchange placer that there is an interchange (i think the word is form) missing. Then when I plop the interchange it is blue and red. Can you please tell me what the conflict may be? There are a few modds that I still need, so I cant just get rid of all of them.

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

Hey same problem herre!!! i dont know whats up with this??

[Tropod 144]

@lakeyboy;

I grew up in Melbourne  [don't live there anymore though]. Melways has by far the best maps & refidexes I reckon [for Australia anyway]. I can stare at one of those mapping books for hours .

 

 

 

I'll say it again folks; Lots have nothing to do with what's going on in this thread, so there shouldn't be any reason for any conflicts with them.

 

@gambit529:

Pretty much what I've just said there ^^. So you should by all rights be able to leave them in, and this stuff should still work just fine. What you have though does sound like you have, or did have, one of the old Traffic Mods from the mods section, so I'd be double checking exactly what files it is you are using.

 

 

@everyone [else]; Those of you with problems still [i.e. can't get anything to work] I'm not going to repeat myself, over and over . The Main mod will be updated soon anyhow.

 

Just a reminder folks; stuff released in this thread, and this thread only, is mainly & namely to iron any major problems/issues out.

[Tropod 144]

Ok; the main mod has been updated: 

NetworkAddon Mod Details

Before using the latest update [or if you have any problems using it]; get rid of any previous Traffic/Transit related files you might have; OTHERWISE SOME THINGS WILL NOT WORK!

If you have the same Menu Button appearing for a particular item [say 2 or 3 copies of the exact same menu button], this is a definite sign that you still have an old traffic/transit related mod installed.

 

-The Cycling/Tab'ing issue for the Puzzle Pieces has been rectified.

Any BUGS that people find, post them here thanks.

[Cactaur55 0]

Hey Tropod, the link for the latest network addon is broken! Did you take it off or something? I'd really like the stuff in it...

Maybe it'll by up tomorrow morning...

 

(Stupid internet problems... Fast, but not reliable... FEEL PITY ON ME! just kidding...)

 

P.S. I have a knack for finding things 10 seconds after my problem... Please disregard this... Boy this is the 3rd time I've done it... In one day! sorry

[Tropod 144]

 

I did take the previous version off, but that was because I was doing up a more up to date version .

 

 

Just a tip for you too; whenever you EDIT your own post, it's usually a good idea to point out just that, that it has been edited [just by putting Edit where you've edited it should be enough]. Doing this can sometimes save some confusion .

[DuskTrooper 314]

OK, is there a way to disable the auto prompt for overpasses and stuff?  It can get very annoying when placing roads, as I had to click cancel like 15 times in a row once while laying a single strech of road!

This is something that I will definately be addressing; in the form of an additional file.

Well thanks, but in the Essentials Part of the Mods section, it works great (6.14.04). But then the orth (I forgot the rest...) intersection does not work... Is that part of the update or something? I feel dumb today... Sleeping all day...

[aerojad 8]

Suggestion - or, just throwing it into the air.

Would a higher-compasity version of the avenue be possible? Like three lanes in each direction? Just strip out the median, add a lane to each side, and have the good old double yellow lines inbetween?

I know we have the 6 lane surface highways all around here in Suburbia, Detroit, Michigan
