Find old NAM settings? (Wanting to use them when updating)

[pauljs75 0]

I have an older version of the NAM installed (Jun 2007 I believe) and I was wondering if there was a way to find what the simulator settings are, etc. I actually like how it's currently running, but I've seen some neat features (like dataviews) that are included on the 2009 NAM. I haven't messed much with the plugins in a good while and I'd like to know if it's possible to update witout borking the old simulation settings.

Also I've been reading some stuff related to the NAM, so I figure I may need that Cleanitol app. The download at SC4devotion isn't working at all from what I can tell. If I need this, are there any alternative sites?

If your looking for the traffic simulator file, you can open the NAM folder, and you should see a file that starts NetworkAddonMod_Traffic_Plugin_ ... followed by the name simulator you have installed (PerfectPathfinding.dat, Standard.dat, etc.). I believe some of the earlier options still exist as options in the newest version of NAM, although they may have been tweaked a little.

As for Cleanitol, I don't think it's available any where else. I just tried the file from SC4D, and it seemed to be working. Are you registered and logged onto the LEX? It is a separate registration from the forums.

Hope this helps...

Hmmm... My last reply didn't work for some reason. (meh. I suspect the site's server is odd and doesn't like tabbed style browsing. Slow as it is, it gets real wonky when I do that.) Anyhow, trying again...

Looking at the one file, it's set to Traffic Simulator C. Is that the same as Z in the current release? I haven't seen simulator-C referred to much at all on the forums. And I still don't know where to get the info concerning road volume and travel distance settings under the simulator though. That would give an easier idea as to what the new setup should be in order to smooth the transition.

That's probably due to the fact that simulator C is the default Maxis simulator that everybody is trying to change.  If you did not make any changes to the NAM setup when you installed it, that's what you would have gotten. And it is definately not the same as simulator 'Z'.

Maybe this might help for simulators A and B... and this for Z...
