NAM: Development

[owenluby 1]

Things are sure goin' slow...

I guess I just gotta keep waiting...

[Meastro444 1]

everyone is impatient, they know that. Andreas made a huge post concerning the development of the NAM, it is in one of the NAM threads, so please refrain of such comments.

I'm still finding things in the current NAM. Just a couple months ago for example I discovered road/avenue ramps. I've started experimenting with the elevated road puzzle pieces and the RHW since its currently lacking in on/off ramps, I'm making my own. Yes a new NAM would be nice, we all like new, but I prefer quality, and besides, RLS (Real Life Syndrome) sucks.

I know they really need time for this to work right and look good, but cmon! Its been forever, at least tell us what you guys are doing and not just speculate what we all think will be in the next NAM. If its going to take another year, tell us, thats fine. Not doing it anymore, fine, just tell us. Tell us something please.

[T Wrecks 10,209]

My god, how many more totally pointless posts like the last ~ 5 zillions are we going to read here?

THERE WILL NOT BE A RELEASE DATE, PERIOD.

Some stuff is half-finished, some stuff is almost completely finished and available, and it only needs to be amalgamated into a new NAM by someone who is capable of doing that, and these people are few, and they haven't been heard of for a long time. Other stuff is said to be finished and lying on the HD of someone who hasn't been seen for ages as well, and nobody knows when the important persons can get back to business. Hence nobody can estimate how far it will be to the next release date. And if they never do get back, it might be that a new NAM is cancelled, or that someone else is found who can fill the gap, but since nobody can see into the future, this is impossible to predict as well.

There, let me try something desperate.

Everybody who posts below this reply and asks for a new NAM release date, a progress report, and/or a confirmation whether NAM is being continued or not, is a sissy, dresses in pink, and plays with Barbie dolls.

Let' see if that helps.

Amen!    (I might just put the bold line in my sig . . .)

Besides, people . . . there are other great transit modding projects going on here this board . . . Ground Light Rail (GLR), High Speed Rail (HSRP), the Boston Central Artery/Big Dig project, the Rural Highway (RHW) project (which isn't just "rural" anymore, you know . . .).

There's some really cool stuff out there in the community that is being actively developed . . . go check that out instead of moping around like "Where's the next NAM?  When's the next NAM coming out?  Can you make this underground diagonal 10-lane avenue bridge for me last week?"

Gee freakin' whiz, people . . . give it a rest . . . there's more to life and SC4 than the next NAM . . . rest assured, it will eventually come out.   It may be 10 years from now, it may be next week . . . complaining about it will do nothing except endlessly annoy the people who are working on it.  If you want something done, learn how to do some of this stuff yourself, for cryin' out loud.  As far as I know, some of these "missing" people have been known from time to time to "lurk" around here . . . it's probably quite disheartening to them, to say the least.

Heed the mighty T Wrecks warning . . . do you really want to be known as a sissy, pink-wearing Barbie enthusiast?

Well, considering that I am a transportation nut, I think NAM is one of the most important projects going on right now. I have HSRP and it is awesome, great job on that! GLR is included in NAM, so I have that, but until the crash bug is fixed, I am more interested in other aspects of NAM. Boston Big Dig is also a great project that I am using. I congratulate everyone!

But, I made no requests of anything, except info on the status of the new NAM.  Anyways, thank you T Wrecks for the info.

[jplumbley 5]

When is the next NAM coming out?..... Its been so long...

LOL j/k.... I had too. Go Twrecks go!! You tell em boy! Ijust wish people would actually read back a page or two in some of these threads and they would know what the deal is... Unfortunately when this page turns over I will put $100 within the first 5 posts someone else will ask for the release date once again and then will be

[The Master 0]

is there a new NAM comming out soon cuz i heard a rumor that there was one comming out sunday.

[Sunil 3]

i heard so too

is it true?

[Rayden 7]

Looks like someone is being tagged right now

[Goin2Chicago 4]

there is a new NAM and some people even have it...

[The Master 0]

how do we get the new nam linkage please

[Goin2Chicago 4]

sorry, i don't have the link anymore.

[toxicpiano 125]

Isn't that for the testers? Just be patient dears... calm yourselves...

[edit] Btw, does the NAM website still exist?

[GoaSkin 2]

The new NAM is not only for testers. It isn't online because only Dirk can upload to the ModdingFiles section and he hasn't made that yet. The STEX allows only 10MB per upload. The NAM is 17MB.

There is replacement link for the NAM - only a few yousendit/filefront uploads for limited downloads per upload. There are no public uploads on the webspace of someone because people have to pair their traffic and the NAM may make lots of traffic. Please don't ask me for a link!

Why don't they just cut it in half and upload it then.

[Andreas Roth 607]

The NAM has never been on the STEX, and it never will be. As said before, the only one who can update the Modding Files section is Dirk, and he's probably on Christmas vacation at the moment. Of course there's also a Mac version, as usual.

[BigSlark 0]

Andreas, I just wanted to say that you're my hero for reasons that are beyond comprehension. As for this moment, your confirmation that a new NAM exists and is waiting for the god-like hand of Dirk to make it available to the common folk makes me idolize you.

With Much Respect,

A rather intoxicated BigSlark

here somescreenshots of the road/subrail dual-networking pieces...

... with the streetlights by ArkenbergeJoe ...

[MaybeMemories06 0]

Well, its a step in the right direction for Avenue with GLR. Good work. Is this sub-heavy or sub-light? cuz sub-light kinda already exists. But its still a cool effort.

[Meastro444 1]

it is sub heavy, you can see it by the orange arrows.

now goaskin, are going to make those puzzle pieces in a way that we could costumize them? like cogeo did with his suburban tramstops, and road top mass transit v3?

[AtkinsSJ_ 7]

Is that an edited network, or puzzle pieces? Because I thought residential doesn't work with puzzle pieces, unless I'm getting confused with transit-enabled buildings.

[GoaSkin 2]

That are puzzle pieces (dual-networking) - and that's the only way to bring heavy rail (or monorail) into underground.

Residental buildings grow up beside puzzle pieces as usual. They have only problems with ped mall pieces (no cars!).

The way to create a railway station for this is quite easy. You don't need to transit-enable anything. They must be configured like the standard SC4 vanilla station and placed beside. Yet, anything for heavy rail under roads is done. In future, I want to create curves and tunnels under ped malls.

GoaSkin....two little things...need to place a readme file outside of the EXE

and a second version non EXE for Mac users

[toxicpiano 125]

odd... I thought there were going to be avenue roundabouts in this release? It still rocks though!

[LivingInThePast 364]

Hee hee hee! I found the link! (insert the Zelda sound here)

Sadly, it did not seem to juice properly. I would PM you the link, but it might get people really mad at me. Sorry.
