Installing Nam on Snow Leopard

[Thinksamuel 5]

I am just going to ask what exactly I should do. I am installing my stuff in the plugins folder and in another attempt I made a NAM subfolder in the pluginfolder but when playing I always get the ##intersection placement string missing## message. I have installed the NAM various times and everytime I get this message. I have followed this tutorial but to no avail. Can anyone tell me how to do it? I put Sim City 4 Deluxe folder in my applications folder. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

 

I placed the SC folder in my documents folder and the intersection message is not appearing anymore. However, when building the canal, I get some kind of blue square, no boats at all. Also, I cannot drag tranway pieces. I have ti build them one by one. Any idea how to solve this?

I can't help with your first problem, but the for the canal, it should be a square, yet, I don't know why. It might've happened to many people, maybe everyone.

did you preform the NAM setup? It is a file when you zip the file. It should be in the plugins folder

I pretty much solved my problems:

1) put SC in documents, not in applications

2) put whole NAM folder in plugins and then delete the files you do not need

 

Now: I built a tramway and stations (stations from STEX) but no trams are driving although it is the only way to get to work. What do I do wrong

Canals: I downloaded Oppie Canal set but where do I have to put this folder/files.

I cheated a bit when I installed NAM 31, as I had a copy Crossover to use to install.  I would agree with the others that you may need to adjust your installation.  However, there have been reports of errors like yours in the NAM 31 Bug Threads here and at SC4D, so I wouldn't worry unless they appear once NAM 31.1 is available.  The Intersection and Canal problems are known as far as I'm aware, and will be fixed in NAM 31.1 (as I'm having the same problems in Mountain Lion, at certain zoom levels).

I installed Nam 30 as it is a smaller set than 31. I would not now where to start with Nam 31, there is so much stuff in there. But basically, I should not construct tramways and canals as they will not be working correctly yes?

The CAM (short for Canal Addon Mod) which comes with nam 30 i believe is a functional one...

Tramways do work in Nam 30, only watch out when u have a puzzle piece on your cursor and then swinging over an existing puzzlepiece will get you the very known CTD (crash to desktop) bug.

I just discovered that I need to build the canal in the parks menu, not in the transportation menu. I am going to try it out
