The NAM celebrates its 4th birthday!

[NAM Team 867]

No, this is not an April fools that arrived a bit late, but the Network Addon Mod is celebrating its 4th birthday today! The NAM Team has been working hard over the last few weeks, and we were able to compile a new version of the largest and most popular mods for SimCity 4.  It includes some exciting new stuff, as well as updates of popular items, lots of visual improvements and countless bugfixes (for a complete list, see below).

As usual, please read the included readme file first, otherwise, things might go wrong. It is highly advised to uninstall your current NAM version, since lots of things have changed. For this, you can either use the uninstall feature, or the included BSC Cleanitol file.

Here's a list of changes:

• Double-height Elevated Rail and Monorail puzzle pieces have been added.
• GLR bridge has been added.
• New GLR-in-Avenue puzzle pieces have been added, including Avenue Roundabout with GLR crossing.
• New Rail Viaduct puzzle pieces have been added.
• Diagonal Highway on-slope puzzle pieces have been added, existing on-slope puzzle pieces have been revamped to eliminate shadow bug.
• All overpasses have been modified to eliminate the color shift of the network that crosses under another (both Maxis and custom overpasses).
• Elevated Rail to GLR transition has been improved visually.
• Double-decker puzzle pieces have been improved visually.
• Elevated Rail and Monorail over Elevated Highway overpasses have been improved visually.
• Various other overpasses and puzzle pieces have been improved visually.
• Diagonal Highway shift by one tile is now possible.
• Oneway-Road arrow removal plugin has been updated.
• Custom Menu plugins have been added to reorder icons in Rail and Misc Transportation menu.
• A new set of Traffic Simulator (Traffic Plugin) files have been added, outdated Traffic Plugin files have been removed.
• A variety of RUL, texture and pathing errors have been fixed.
• NAM Controller contains RULs for updated RHW (Rural Highway mod), updated SAM (Street Addon Mod) and new HSR (High Speed Rail) plugins (released separately).

Note: Due to the size, the NAM Team cannot upload the new NAM to the STEX - Dirk has been provided with the files and will update the download at the "Modds & Downloads" section as soon as possible.

Wow, you guys are quick! Looks awesome!

I am looking forward to using the double-height Elevated Rail and Monorail puzzle pieces as well as the new files. 

Give yourselves a pat on the back!   The NAM is the only reason why I still play SC4. 

Best,

@un1: Dirk has been provided with the new files and will update the June 2007 download at the "Modds & Downloads" section soon.

@njdevi66: The new NAM already contains the latest NAM Essentials, so you don't need to re-download them.

@all: Thanks for the birthday wishes, much appreciated.

HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY NAM TEAM!!!

Pull another stunt like this and I'll have a heart attack!  Seriously though, you just made a day for me that was otherwise quite bad...and no homework this weekend means I have time to use this mod like it should be used...all over the region!

[Jasoncw 11,933]

Happy birthday!!

[Fresh Prince of Wmbg 44]

Happy Birthday to our NAM Team! May you continue another 4 years!

[Dirktator 2,324]

Really sorry for the delay guys, it's up on Simtropolis.

Happy Birthday NAM team.

Where can I download it?

[hrme 0]

all right, forget it.

I've already found it

[knijn 0]

Hurray an update of this great mod!!!

But i think the download link for the pc is broken.

Or is it only me?

[SIMplMn9 0]

Nah.. I'm having problems as well.. and its not my PC, because I was able to get other things...

It would appear that the site is also in a state of shock... looks like the NAM birthday surprise was too much for it...

[dedgren 830]

It's always available at SC4D while ST sorts this out.
