NAM: Requests

[Mayor Zoidberg 0]

I apologize in advance if its been asked on here before, but what about HOV lanes, similar to the "closed off" types one sees in southern California?  I think that would really add a "real" ness to the freeway systems.

Also, what about curved ramps from a street or avenue as an onramp to a freeway, again, similar to what you see in southern California.  It seems like it'd be a good way to fit an interchange where you have limited space otherwise.

Just my two cents worth.  Thanks!

I'm not sure if this has been requested, but I breezed through the past fifty pages or so and didn't see it. If it had been requested (or if it already exists), I apologize.

When using the elevated rail/road pieces, what about stations built over roads (such as you see in places like Brooklyn or the Bronx)? And in similar fashion, what about elevated rail built over avenues, one way roads, etcetera? An example of what I'm talking about appears in New Utrecht Avenue, Brooklyn.

What about diagonal  bridges?

[hawkpride147 1]

@mebert...there are stations...stations are not part of the NAM though because the NAM team does not do lots for many reasons...

http://www.bripizza.net/sc4/index.html

check out that site for some cool stations...

[tgcela 0]

what about an avenue/blvd with more than just 2 lanes...like 3 lanes and then at an intersection add a fourth turn lane

[hawkpride147 1]

@tgcela it's called the network widening mod or NWM. you can find info on it at sc4devotion. it hasn't been released yet, and there is no timetable for release due to it being a volunteer project done during several members free time.

another note...the NAM team has moved to sc4devotion.com (a while back actually), so don't forget to check there for info and to make requests there...they are much more likely to be heard there than here.

hi

is it possible to make the Subway and Bus Stops became green when we are building them? (like schools and police departments)

in big cities this would be very helpful to know where we already have stops..

or there is already any mod to do this?

[phoenix7 3]

To everyone that asked, diagonal bridges aren't out yet and probably will never be made. Even maxis said it would take years.

[Edgware 0]

How about a stop sign editing tool. So that we can add or remove stop signs at intersections. Is this even possible?

[Hahayoudied 3]

I think NAM should add in a mod that allows us to view and bulldoze transportation buildings that are purely blocked by tall and huge buildings. It is pure hell to bulldoze small buildings that are completly blocked by huge and tall buildings.

Also, please add a mod that removes the monorail pollution bug.

[mcarch 15]

Regular Highways with more-different type of interchanges like the ones in Downtown Minneapolis.

[masssc4 3]

Is the NAM team working on curved overpasses?, like ones over sunken and ground highway. Like the overpass in the middle of this pic

[marshmanguy 0]

My request is to slow down trams on the glr. As it is the trams absolutely RIP it around 90 degree turns even on the slowest speed. I was wondering if there was someway to slow down their animation speed, not their actual transport speed.

[Jayster 7]

Maybe some 5 laned one-way roads would be a great idea.

And some 3 and 4 laned avenues.

Maybe some 4 or more laned ground or elevated highways.

These would be great in the NAM.

[jigsaw 227]

i would like to see double rail bridges.... like avenues are to roads, a 2x wide rail bridge

Seconded.

@jayster...check sc4devotion.com...all the stuff you requested is already in the works...

REPOST:

I have another request, I need a avenue puzzle piece that allows me to build vertical and diangonal elevated avenue over three diangonal railroads. I had to use a elevated highway to build over the diangonal railroads because I couldn't find a correct avenue puzzle piece. The elevated highway crossing the railroads is an eyesore to me.

Is it possibe to make the highway crossing the railroads as avenue puzzle pieces?

I think NAM should have a NAM function that allows us to view and bulldoze transportation buildings (such as subway stations and bus stops) that are purely blocked by tall and huge buildings from all direction. It is pure hell to bulldoze small buildings that are completly blocked by huge and tall buildings.

Also, please add a function in next version of NAM that removes the monorail pollution bug.

To my knowledge, a mod like that is not even possible.  And even if it were, those buildings are Lots, and the NAM does not contain Lots, so it couldn't be included. 

You could try using the Zone Data View.  It'll hide RCI buildings (though I'm not sure if it will if the buildings are plopped instead of growable)  There's also the option of just rotating views.  There is certain to be at least one view where you can see the transport buildings.

Is there any way to build double bridge for trains or road?

E.g:

l r l t l r l

l o l r l o l

l a l a l a l

l d l i l d l

l l n l l

[Skater_Jack2008 1]

id love to see better intersections, i hate the road and street and one way junnctions (even the multiple lane road ones) how about like an early road cut off for left turners for example with a small pedestrian island in between the other bit of road and the turn off lane?

[io_bg 249]

Can you make GLR in road puzzle pieces? (in this case the glr tracks will have to be on the road lane)

[hawkpride147 1]

@wilson124: highly unlikely...

@skater_jack2008: should be possible...make sure to suggest it at SC4devotion as that's where the nam team tends to lurk...i like the idea alot

@io_bg: yes it is possible...however it likely will be a long while until they are made (if ever) as the person who first discovered it is not around anymore to my knowledge...

[rainyday 2]

Double Decker Highways, if possible. They'd be so cool

[Skater_Jack2008 1]

another good idea (which i think has already been suggested) is on-road glr, like a regular road with glr tracks on top, you see it everywhere. In the city next to me - manchester, that is how their trams operate. Also, i think some cut off lanes should be made, what i mean is, for bus stops, subways and such you can make a 3-tile branch off lane or a sort of on road out-put, like in the uk, where a bus doesnt have to stop on road and it can go on a jutted out bit of road to let traffic pass. I also love that diagonal y interchange everyones talking about it looks awesome!

hawkpride147 - i think i might just do that!

I would like this bug fixed: When you place GLR, then add a GLR station, or vice-versa, you experience a CTD I would really like this fixed in the future

Bob56, it cannot be fixed

[Streetlight725 1]

How about this idea,You could build your own Bridge.You have to put the pieces together and it could be big or small.

Some One Should Make A Underwater Tunnel Or Make Land TRunnels Turn That Would Be Fresh
