Sunken Highway Off/On Ramps

[san_andreas_man 0]

First of all i'm not sure if i should of posted this in the bugs and technical issues board but it is transit networks related so...

When I build a sunken highway in simcity 4 (deluxe, just so you know).

It looks good.  I can build it decorate it put overpasses but...

I cant put on/off ramps it stuffs up the surrounding land and road/avenue here is a pic.

 

 

1: i build the highway.

2,3,4: i add on/off ramps and the land and road stuffs up

 

How can i get it to go straight up onto the above road/avenue etc. and off without the land and road/avenue messing up?

Plz help me out.

Use the on/off ramps which come with the Network Addon Mod (NAM). They work really well for sunken highways and don't cause the round to level out. If you don't already have it, grab a copy from my signature. (If clicking on it doesn't work, right click the writing HERE and click save target as)

It should also tweak the standard offramps (the ones that came with the game) so it doesn't level either but i'm not sure.

Um I AM using NAM!

Hey, that rymes.

Um (again)...

I installed BRF Tunnel Slope mod adn it work better.

BUT...

Now the highway stays good

but the land around it shapes around the on/off ramp.

 

How can i fix that.

Is there a mod or something.

So far I've only got the single-sided ramps to work properly, e.g. not deform adjacent terrain tiles. Which means if you want an on and off ramp together you'll need to lay down two single-sided ramps on each side of the highway. I usually put an avenue across the highway between them with the highway tunneling under the avenue. Comes out looking pretty good that way (IMO).

You're using the NAM pieces, but it looks like you're using the dual on/offramps.  Use the single-sided parallel ramps instead, placed one at a time.  They deform to fit the terrain, not the other way around.

 

I've had the problem you show in picture 2, but if I destroy it, level it out, and rebuild it...it stays flat.  I'm not sure why.

 

[edit: yeah, what he said. ]

Sorry for double posting...

I have a question, the terrain mod called Columbus terrain textures, or something like that.

Doesn't work on his homepage, I really want to download the file.

Where can i get it.

 

Thanx, (again)| |||
