Is there draggable GLR in the latest NAM, if not where can I find it?

[opiq 0]

@Tarkus: Thanks man, that answered alright, but not what i was hoping for, hehe.. can you maybe tell me how to make a turning raised piece? because i had a plan in mind to make a raised rail network in my city.. Before, i raised the terrain first and connected the raised piece with ground rail using onslope, made a curve than connected the ground rail and the raised piece with onslope again.. This doesnt seem to be much realistic, am i right? Thanx again tarkus..

[Andreas Roth 607]

@It: Draggable GLR is still under development, but it looks like we can get it working after all.

Sorry, but no. For the moment only roads are eurotextured. May be one day .....

oh wait, you forgot to answer my question that i posted somewhere up above, please check up above at my post for my question.

Having problems downloading the recent file, as in when I click on the link to download in the mods section nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem?

[Andreas Roth 607]

@killerdog123: I don't really know what you are talking about. The NAM doesn't contain any avenue/avenue or road/road interchanges (with on-/offramps) so far. A full list of all interchanges and puzzle pieces that are contained in the NAM can be found in the readme file.

@Furious M: I think I read somewhere that certain firewalls or virus scanners interfere with the downloads on Simtropolis. Try to disable them temporarily.

[Furious M 0]

@Andreas Roth: Thanks for the suggestions, that was my first thought as well. Tried it, to no avail. STEX downloads are working fine, it's just the downloads in the modds section for some reason. Never had this problem on here before, but my pc has been giving me all kinds of trouble lately so it might be something else on my end. Hopefully I can figure it out soon...

Finally some reasonable-looking highway ramps! Now all I need is the highway on-slope piece and the game is complete. This is how Maxis should've released it and I hope they appreciate your work. I certainly do!

The Ramps on the roads have the own new texture-ID's (FSH-Files)

Die Rampen an den Straßen haben eigene neue Texturen-ID's....

[mjig_dudy 11]

Well i made a quick fix, The textures aren't perfect but:

I've upload to the Simcities.com exchange, if you want it.

Since installing the newest NAM, I have developed a problem where my game will crash when clicking on the road menu button. It is not consistent but I would say it happens about 20% of the time. I never had this problem with the last version (October revision). I suspect it may have something to do with the new diagonal street menu icon. I have no other transit mods installed if that helps any. I'm not sure where to report bugs so hopefully this is the right thread. Also, if someone could point me towards the old version so I can download that again it would be great. This new one makes me sad when my game crashes simply because I want to build a road.

My question is, can you select certain aspects of NAM and delete the rest. I am only interested in the Ped mall tiles.

[Psycho Mantis 0]

Hi.

Frist of all, thank you for this wonderful mod!

I am having some problems with the NAM though. It crashed my SimCity quite regularly when I am working on elevated railroads with streets below. Is is a known issue?

My setup: PowerMac G5, 1.8 GHz, 1 gig RAM, ATI Radeon 9600XT, latest patches of SimCity (German).

I have not installed the traffic plugins and the Automata plugins. Is this the reason?

Many thnanks in advance!

[SC4BOY 20]

if u set up NAM with all multipliers set to 1, you pretty much get a "standard" setup. and as I recall there is even install options as to whether you want certain menu displays to be there or not.. its all in the doc's

[infinitum19 0]

Hi, I got a problem with creating diagonal streets. I can only achieve straight layout but I cannot do a diagonal! What's wrong? And also the diagonal helper are blank as in no action taking place.

[Mayor Abe 3]

I request a 3 track GLR system, for use as an express track.

[topcliff 1]

infinitum19: Drag a stair case with the street tool like a zigzag. That should give you your diagonal streets.

Mayor Abe: There is a request thread, please search before making a request where it shouldn't be made. I can't do it, so I'll simply scream towards the heavens: Where are you, DuskTrooper?! WE NEED YOUR SARCASM!

This is a known issue. If you move puzzle pieces (GLR, EL over Road, and the overpasses) over any transit enabled lot, it will cause the game to crash. There are a couple of other known crash issues with puzzle pieces, but this is the most common. Just save before laying out puzzle piece networks, and be very careful while you are doing it.

Thats great!  Sorry for the late reply.

But... I am not a member of simcities.com.  Would you be able to upload this to the STEX here so the members can also take part in your fix?

Thanks,

I've just installed the new NAM but can't see any of the new bridges. The dat file is installed an I never had any custom bridges installed previously. Can anyone tell me why they won't show? (The rest of the NAM seems to work fine, e.g. I get the new overpasses for Monorail-Highway.)

I have the same problem

When will there be some sort of patch for this?

[Andreas Roth 607]

@simukoshi: Only EA can fix this bug, sorry.

@hullbr3ach: Try removing everything from your plugins folders except the NAM. If it works now, you have a conflicting file installed. As usual, move back the contents gradually and check again, until you find the culprit.

In my region. cars won't drive on roundabouts, or on avenues extended with one-way roads, any idea why?

[tSlater 134]

How do I get GLR to work AT ALL? I've tried it in 4 different cities now of various populations... in densely populated areas... A-to-B lines and loops... and have yet to EVER get any traffic on it. However I can easilly rip the whole thing out, and place either subway or EL on the same ROW, and get traffic on those. I've tried dragging EL track over the stations, still nothing. The most I've ever gotten out of GLR is pretty much abandoned track and station eye-candy. Is there something blatabtly obvious I'm missing here? I just do not understand how so many people are able to use it, yet it doesn't do a thing for my cities. The only use it is getting is from one side of the station to the other side. It seems to ignore the puzzle pieces altogether.

[Meastro444 1]

Tslater, posting pictures can tell more than a thousand words...

[tSlater 134]

Actually, using a different station has seemed to help. I was using this: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=16724# I upgraded a few of those in higher wealth district to something nicer just for eyecandy.. and boom, I started getting traffic between the newer stations.

hey there! i've got a problem with the newest NAM and the beta version of RHW...when i have the files of the RHW in my plugins ( NAM files) then i cant place the new highway exits (european) can pls somebody help me?

[Andreas Roth 607]

The current RHW mod is not compatible with the new NAM. You'll have to wait until the next RHW version is published, or stick with the old NAM for the time being.
