NAM: Requests

[sjh123 0]

I would't mind seeing the type of highway interchange commonly seen all over New Orleans.

The highway elevates over the road with no kind of earth embankment to raise the highway like in most places and the ramps start before the bridge and follow beside the highway until they reach the street.

Some photos to give a clearer picture

ignore the flyover ramps in the 1st pic

Sorry if its too many pics...just trying to get a clear message across

Originally posted by: LP But simply ignoring the request topic will not help. I have not seen any periodic check-ins from anyone on the NAM team. I'm going to try and not act selfish here, but I feel as though I am the only one putting requests into retrospect and comunicating to them what can happen, can't happen, will happen, and did happen. I understand there is a severe shortage of BATers these days, but the current "no comment" standpoint i've seen coming from the NAM team as of late is simply unaceptable.

So, I'm just going to be quiet now. I feel nobody has the right to complain unless they are willing to take action. And right now... I'm really not in the mood.quote>

 

Well, I am part of the NAM team, not as a developer, but as translator for the German version, and now also for the installer and the new format of the readme file. I certainly understand the frustration that might come up when nothing seems to happen (including leaving comments in this thread), but on the other hand, what else could they say other than me? There are indeed many great (and probably also a good number of feasible) requests here, but obviously, with nobody actually trying to do someting we don't get anywhere.

[LP 1]

Mhmm. I think the general question coming up here as of late is when the heck the next version will be out. They're being told that they're requests are done, but being told that the only thing left to do is the install stuff and the readmes... yet its going to take another few months...

Iuno... anyway, that onramp was done by a japanese BATer. Don't know where, but I'm sure somebody around here does. It will also most likely be posible whenever the next NAM comes out.

this request is probably been mentioned and they have probably started to make the new NAM but a thing that i would love to see in the new NAM would be an avenue underpass that has little slip lanes that connect onto the road that has been passed. if thats hard to understand, please tell me. Those types of underpass are very common in Australia. Any replies would be greatly apreciated!

EDITED:Also, LP mentioned on the previous page that there was draggable GLR (when you were replying to Frankie-Groves requests). If someone could tell me where i could download that modd i would be extremely grateful!

thanks again

[LP 1]

You lost me with the whole slip lane thing.

And I only heard that there is a dragable GLR network in progress. It is not (to my knowledge) completed or ready to release. Last I heard of it was that it will not come out in the next version of the NAM, but most likely the one after.

If this hasn't been mentioned: A rounder for Avenues... and an OVAL (Like a rounder, 3 tiles across, by 2 tiles, oneway road)

[LP 1]

A loop, correct? The avenue splits, loops around, conects, and goes back on its way... is that what your talking about?

If so, its posible now. Just play around with one way roads at the end of an avenue and see what happens and go from there. Sure, it'll be a bit more of a box... but still, same concept.

[owenluby 1]

Thanks for the advice LP. Anyway, i will try and post a picture of what i am trying to explain. And i think ill try again:

the avenue goes under the road and has little exits (slip lanes) that join onto the road thats been passed. Hope that helps, if not, ill post a pic.

[Meastro444 1]

hello

my request is a elevated piece (straight only) for all types of networks, whcich has NO support collum.

i appreciate if this can be integrated into the NAM

thanks

well... an elevated highway-ground highway onslope peice would be good ^^

[topcliff 1]

I have just brainstormed something! Everyone knows about the WTC lot that was uploaded a couple of years ago, right? Well, there are certain textures on it for the avenue that goes by, and it has intersecting textures as well. Where this fits in is in CJ's that have their avenues wind at that angle. What I'm thinking is a complete texture overhaul for avenues. It seems pretty simple since all the textures have already been made. TopCliff

a Highway OnSlope piece has been finished, and will be in the next NAM. that's all I know.

[Haljackey 17,270]

Just one more highway request:  is the development of the ground/ground stack interchange still in the works?  It is really needed so you do not need to elevate the one highway and have the ramps unrealistically run below the elevated highway bridge.

It would be awsome to have a ground/ground stack here once this area develops.

[MaybeMemories06 0]

In the last NAM, there were some included ramps that went from El-highway to one way roads. Any way that we can get this for the Ground highway in a future release? I could really use it in the current city I am building

[LP 1]

Actually, I have to disagre. An intercahnge like that is very unrealistic. Simply because, in the real world they do not put ramps on slopes or curves, its just a general rule when making highways.

How do you figure that they don't build exit ramps on slopes or curves? That is the only way that I have ever seen. But besides that, I did not intend to put it on a slope or curve. I simply want a slip lane, so that my straight avenue can cross my diagonal freeway. The avenue is no problem, as it is done by puzzle pieces, however the ramps are more difficult as they do not work with that. Ill try to post pictures as soon as I can maybe that will help explain a little better. More like slip lanes than ramps, but same basic concept

[SHADD0W09 2]

Is there a chance of sunken avenue to road ramps so that wont have to use hichways

thanks

[zachos-prague 0]

I have one request: avenue roundabouts, are you going to release them in the next NAM update or in the future?

[owenluby 1]

this is what i requested earlier;

i hope it helps!

theyre a little like marrasts underpasses but with exit lanes.

[josefmayor 8]

Have they made one way elevated pieces to one way ground puzzle pieces?

[U3D 6]

i have a request! (ahem)

a no median avenue or a 4-lane road depending on how you look at it.

the one on the left is a normal avenue and the one on the right is with out the grass median

im not sure if this has been requested or anything but ive been wanting to mention this...

here's a IRL example of what im talking about...

[prince_of_sims 0]

there's a suicide lane mod out that could satisfy your needs. search the forum for the words "Suicide Lane"

thanks

[MaybeMemories06 0]

I believe a boulevard (Avenue sans Median) has already been requested. As far as I know it has been done and will be in the next release of the NAM, whenever that is.

[LP 1]

Theres also a mod that gets rid of the grenery all together. I belive it either leaves a grass strip, or fills it in with something else... I forget...

Stupid game still not playable, waiting for my new video card. *sigh*

[MaybeMemories06 0]

Cannot find 'Suicide Lane' on either STEX or Modds section. Anyone have a link to it? I searched both and couldnt find it.

[LP 1]

If I heard correctly its still in beta. Lets see now...

https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=124&threadid=69271&STARTPAGE=1&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear

Thats the thread. If theres a beta, it will be there. It apears to not have been released yet.

[prince_of_sims 0]

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?page=1&keyword=ryanb%5Fsc4&type=all

2nd one from the top.

[MaybeMemories06 0]

Ok thank you. I thought it was a full suicide lane for the avenue, as opposed to just the turn lanes. Unless I have that wrong, but the one I have just does the turn lanes and leaves the planters in the middle.

[prince_of_sims 0]

you need swamper's no avenue median addon. no clue where to find it, i thought it came with the mod
