Forget the ANT! It's useless.

I am using the ANT as a high speed busway network. It's grade separated and I use the bus only signs from the traffic control mod to prevent cars and trucks using it.
The network is working quite well, buses zoom up and down it.

I'd like to thank all the people who have put their time into the NAM. It's a great add on for sim city.

I have more fun trying out NAM then building cities.Is there plans for a Ground Rail to Subway connection?.

Those responsible for giving us NAM deserve a Award.This add-on has given this game new life and I'll never be able to express my gratitude enough for such a wonderful tool.Thanx so much

Tropod has allready six awards

Subway transitions are LOTs. You'll find some on the STEX and other SC4 sites.

The NAM does not and will not contain LOTs.

I have a PROBLEM with the new NAM:

I installed everthing necessary to get it to work but for some reason I can't plop the Ground Light Rail Puzzle Pieces. When I click on the Button there isn't anything to plop! Am I doing something wrong?

[GoaSkin 2]

It looks like if you have somwhere an old GLR MOD file in the plugins directory. This is nood needed anymore.

I thought about this but I deleted all old files, so this can't be the reason!

Thank you all for this very great job which give to simcity a new wave of technology and make our city like human anthill with thousands of ways which can now pass above or below or in diagonal of each other and THAT'S VERY COOL!!!

However I'm very disapointed because I was waiting for some little(I don't know very well if it is easy to make) improvements with the on-slope models for one-way and avenues(and I've seen this one in a thread)to make bridges horizontal.And I've also seen models for the EL-metro above road in the same or another thread.And a little other things which could be cool will be to make the ground to EL-Highway transition in diagonal.

So I'm still waiting for those things although this new versions bring us great things.I admire your work very much

 

PS Excuse me for my english I'm French

Thank you

kassarc16 its the road texture, the ingame one is different from the ATL mod one.
Its not that big of an issue though, with buildings around its less noticable.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

they are still working on the avenue and one way pieces. The el rail over road is already available here in the forums, do a search, i dont know exactly where it is, but i have it, had for a while too.

[garfiedude 2]

El-Rail over road is in the NAM, has been since the last update AFAIK.

[bewilder2 2]

Nice! My lucky day, I haven't played SC4 in a while and I decide to go through and find all possible updates/lots to download.

[GoaSkin 2]

By the way I read a forum on a french simcity page a few days ago. People discussed about photos of a strange Simcity extension what makes ped malls, tram networks and elevated roads possible. They were sure that it must be a new extension pack by Maxis which is not availlable in France...

rhrh

[bewilder2 2]

lol, typical french...

anyways, I'm already having a problem! The avenue turning lanes are on the left side of the road when they should be on the right side, and I didn't install that left side extension thing. What's going wrong?

[AJHAINC 0]

I have the same problem with the turning lanes too....heh


Take note of the trucks on the roadway...heh

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

because you guys did not remove the left hand feature out of the folder when you installed it, it has directions in a readme file ya know!

[AJHAINC 0]

I didn't have the left hand feature installed on my game...unless this NAM comes with it in the .dat files....If thats the case then thanks for the help then...

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

there is a file inside the folder inside the zip file, here :

 

NAM zip file

   -NAM Folder

        -Mod File

             -Left_Hand_Versions_Only

 

If you are in amaerica, you need to remove this file.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

Here is how to fix this :

 

Go into the file first :

Go here next

http://www.masoria.com/simcity.masoria.com/images/NAMdirections/2.JPG width=800 height=600>

delete the circled file call Left_Hand_Versions_Only

http://www.masoria.com/simcity.masoria.com/images/NAMdirections/3.JPG width=800 height=600>

[AJHAINC 0]

Well...That explains a bunch.(lol) thanks!

[tonkawom 1]

Does the latest edition of the NAM have the turning lanes, or is this something in beta that hasn't been released on the NAM yet?

[AJHAINC 0]

The latest version of NAM has turning lanes on the avenues, FYI! make sure to get rid of that left hand turning file if you live in America or anywhere that drives on the right!
If you want of course!

[Iknowu 0]

WOOT thank you guys

[thatmonkeysim 8]

well after some long trail and error... i got what i wanted done and its UDI acessible... so no problems so far to report!

[garfiedude 2]

He, AJHAINC, your avenue textures are all the same?

What about those turning lanes on diagonal avenue junctions, i say Jeronji had been working on them, is that a future add on?

[bewilder2 2]

In the instructions it only says don't install it if cars drive on the right hand side for you.

@Tropod: I just discovered that the sandstone pedmall puzzle piece with GLR tracks has a wrong label. It should read 0x580F4700 instead of 0x580F1700 in the RUL file. I already fixed this glitch in the NAM I uploaded to my site.

Noted & fixed. Thanks.

I've also edited my previous post regarding the Tutorial image file (must be stupid ISP playing up). I've decided to go ahead & put them all up in the Networks: Custom Content: How To's & Sample Pics   thread if anyone continues to have problems accessing them.

am i safe in assuming the latest NAM has the stack interchange?

The latest NAM has the stack interchange. I can verify this.
