NAM compatible bridge installed...can't get it to appear in menu.

This is the bridge:

I saw in the comments someone else couldn't get it to appear...I played with bridging distances, but couldn't get the option to appear...I have 2 additional rail bridges installed:

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=18240

and

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=18242

both of which installed and run perfectly.

Any thoughts?

Hm. Try moving your copy of NetworkAddonMod_BridgesController.dat to SimCity 4\Plugins\NetworkAddonMod\zz_Bridge Controller.

[Jedimarine 119]

NetworkAddonMod_Bridges_Plugin_Controller.dat ?

I don't have NetworkAddonMod_BridgesController.dat

BTW...just updated NAM Essentials...no effect.

lol

I also don't have a "zz_Bridge Controller" folder.

Please use the edit if you wish to add.

Bridges_Plugin_Controller, yes.

And you have to create the folder.

Also, if this doesn't work, try using a shorter distance. The bridge looks like it has a tight tolerance in length.

bridge_plugin_controller.dat in zz_bridge Controller folder.

no success...several distances tested.

Moving to Modding - Transit Network forum since NAM related.

You wouldn't have happened to have downloaded one of fukuda's bridges from 2006 off the STEX at any point?  If so, you've got a 4-year-old Bridge INI sitting in your Plugins, loading after your NAM installation and preventing newer bridges from functioning.

Interesting...I do in fact have a bridge from Fukuda...Akashi Kaikyo Bridge...and it is rather old.

Gonna try extracting that .dat...I'm not seeing an independent ini file....that bridge is in a separate folder titled "Networkaddonmod" rather then "Network Addon Mod".

------------

If this does turn out to be the case, however, I'm in a tough spot, as I use Akashi Kaikyo extensively for long spans...I hope there will be a way to incorporate everything.

The LEX has fixed versions of his bridges, the STEX no longer has them (Fukuda took them down).

In any case, you can still use the bridge, just put it into My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\Akashi Kaikyo.Then it will load properly, etc.

[Jedimarine 119]

Wow...and issue has been found...and apparently there were NAM bridges I never knew I was missing.

Blue Lightning,

So are you saying I can use the .dat I have currently in in the Akashi Kaikyo folder, or I need to get an adjusted one from LEX and put it in the Akashi Kaikyo folder?

Update:

Bat works fine in new folder...all bridges now available.

Blue Lightning, Tarkus...thank you both for your assistance.

Follow up question...only slightly related:

Exploring the new bridges that have been properly revealed...includes some "level" versions of original SC4 bridges...but they do not appear to be level, and the approaches are broken. Anyone know what's going on with these bridges?
