I assume that means you intend to include them in the next NAM, then?

Also, that "plain bridge" would be perfect for the RHWs, if that's at all possible....

Yup, that's right.

From what I've read, I don't believe it's possible to have two sides of the RHW right next to each other, though, that is most definitely in the works... it's possible, just not next to each other.

It might be possible to have the double-width RHW bridge in the game. When I was creating the Level Street Bridge, I had copied the Level OneWay Road Bridge exemplar and edited it. So it was an option when you drew an OneWay Road over water. So the double-width RHW may need to be keyed as an avenue or a ground highway bridge for the double-width to work. Just an idea....

You can't lay these "side by side" in game. They have to be 1 space between them..I tried already heheh. I actually designed a city using each of these new bridges just to see what they looked like. Very nice BTW. Great work to all!

Isn't it possible to handle the bridge MOD as standalone-MOD if the NAM oneway bridges become part of the bridge MOD?

[Kippis05 2]

these bridges are looking great! To bad the massive Tsing Ma bridge project had to be put on hold. (it looks so realistic!!)

[choco1 4]

Wow!  Thanks Simocrie and Jeronij!

These are a fantastic new addition, especially the old road bridge so thanks for making our game even better.

Cheers guys.

If the INI file doesn't contain other data but the necessary lines for bridges, this should be possible, I guess. The next NAM will be a bit more modular, where all files that are needed for the plugins (textures, path files and such for roundabouts, turning lanes) are included in the plugins, but not the main mod file anymore.

[metasmurf 705]

Can't wait to try these out

[GoaSkin 2]

What is about the bridges shown in earlier postings? The preview MOD does not include these.

[Glenni 1,444]

BUMP!!!!lol J/k anyway, i would like to make some bridges for ya,BUT i cant mod em for you,neither do i have the reader thingy.So if you just could give me those textures i could try making some for you

[jackel.22 3]

woah thi scame out of nowhere, i thought i was forgotten about after the switch. evidently not which is a good thing.

i really hope this works out.

Hello don't know if its too much to ask but I would love to see this bridge as an el-rail bridge it would look really good, but I have no idea how feasable that would be, so I shall leave it with you.

I always thought that type of bridge was better for an El rail or monrail...maybe even these bridges could be designed to work with the new High speed rail project?

[GoaSkin 2]

what happened to this one?

[smoncrie 43]

GoaSkin, the main file that needs to be modified to add new bridges also contains other things that are modified by the NAM.  This means that a mod that adds bridges can not be separate from the NAM.

That bridge picture was posted by Ill Tonkso.   I don’t remember why, but nothing happened with it.

Norbutt2001 and Cjah, new models would be needed for elevated rail and monorail versions of the modern rail bridge, because  the current models do not allow the rail texture to be changed and because monorail does not even use a flat rail texture.

As for double deck bridges, I have not solved the problem that causes the bridge to become congested if there is ANY passenger rail traffic.  I am also not yet sure how to make the mod compatible with all the different NAM installation options.

I was worried that there might be other bad side effects of the mod, but I have not seen any so far.

Hopefully you will be hearing more about the development of a new double deck bridge.

 

[norbutt2001 8]

monorail not so bothered about, but deffo for el-rail, the current bridge just isn't right

[Pixelrage 34]

this is incredible. Now, if only you could create lightbulbs at the tip of each bridge cable, I'd be ecstatic

[jeronij 13]

OK, I have been busy lately.... back to DD bridges....some work in progres....

By Day

By Night

There are several graphic giltches, which may or may not be solved. So far, this is very close to how it will finaly look like. Now comes the modding part, specially the connector pieces, which will be done by Smoncrie.

Your comments and suggestions are welcome !!!

(But dont expect me to change the blue colour  

Pixelrage, this would be posible, but way too much work... It took me a whole week to render and modd this bridge !!! ( and another two weeks to design it !!!) Volunteers are welcome

[tsjibbe 0]

that bridge looks fantastic.

I can't wait to see it in my own town.

keep up the good work

[hamsterTK 93]

wow! i thought you had scrapped that bridge? anyways, the blue is sorta funky but still its fine and i know how things take forever to render... I cant wait to see this one in the game! hows the double decker part going?

[mcarch 15]

*Speechless*

[Ryan B 35]

Holy mackerel! I'm speechless. I'd use the Nextel / Sprint Wheel of Adjectives, but that's uber-corny.

Nice job!

[sim1234 62]

Wow, that looks amazing jeronij!   I'm looking forward to downloading this and seeing it in game! Keep up the brilliant work!

[ILL Tonkso 1,237]

Ah, my bridge is ready to be done, not sure how i need to lod it though, PM me and we can talk about it

[DJGspinNhitz 7]

JRJ amazing work as always!
