 I just need help, everytime I build a puzzle piece, anything from the NAM, SC4 crashes. Explanation, NAM Team?

Moving to the NAM Discussion thread.

Did you install the NAM correctly?

Or are you hovering the puzzle pieces, especially the glr puzzle pieces, over a transit enabled lot. If this is the problem, this is normal, you have to try to avoid hovering puzzle pieces over these lots. If this is not the case, then I am not sure what the problem might be.

By the way, there is already a forum on NAM problems/issues that you might try..

To others who are reading this, Can someone move this to the correct forum?

Hi guys,

Still new to the STEX, so please help if you can!  I have SC4 Rush Hour for Mac (US Edition), and downloaded the NAM released in May 2010 yesterday (May 17) with the fixes from the original release on May 10th.  I have no problems with getting all the pieces... however the TULEP tool is making my streets, roads, and aves a left-hand drive mode, when before the original game (no mods) was in right hand drive mode.  I scowered the readme but could not find anything substantive as to why that is or how to change it.

Have any of you had the same problem, and if so, how do you change it?  Thanks,

BeaufortTiger

i have the UK version and selected LHD when I downloaded, which works fine all the cars drive on the left. But all the turning lanes are marked out for left turns, rather than right for LHD. Did I miss something in the set up as well?

[mission_City 0]

I have the exact same problem and was actually coming here to c if anyone else knew how to fix the problem

[BeaufortTiger 0]

To clarify my situation, I am having the same problem as Hatchet999, only reverse. The U-Drive It still has vehicles with right-hand drive, but the turning lanes are marked out for right turns, rather than left for RHD.

Any help is appreciated! Glad to see I'm not the only one.

I believe I solved the issue. In the NetworkAddOn folder, the last folder is "z_LeftHand Version Plugin"

If you delete the folder, it appears to go away. Can someone with NAM expertise confirm that this is the correct way to fix the issue? I've tried out TULEP since I did this, and it appears to be working fine... the left hand turn lanes using Right Hand Drive are back, and all seems good with the world.

Thanks again for the NAM and all you do... BT

Beaufort Tiger, possibly relevant, did you download the NWM or RHW in addition to the NAM?

I downloaded the NWM and updated RHW and NAM to the latest versions

[Gamma4815 4]

Did you accidentally instal the NAM with the Left hand mode box checked? If you did check that box when you installed the NAM, this is your problem. Try uninstalling the NAM and then reinstalling it. Just make sure that your do not choose the LHD left hand drive box, only check the boxes of everything else you want, except that box.

Yes, if you do not have the left-hand drive version of the game and use the manual (Mac) version of NAM, you need to delete the z_LeftHand Pfolder from the NAM folder. The same is true for the RHW and NWM addons if you install those.

And moving this to the NAM Discussion thread.

[Gamma4815 4]

Yes this is one correct way to get rid of this problem. Basically this is the doing the exact same thing as I stated above, rather without having to actually uninstall and reinstall the NAM, you just removed the actual file from the NAM folder. Great Job!!!

Ok guys,

What have I done wrong if I DO have left turn lanes, but have ticked the LHD boxes and want Right turn lanes instead?

Thanks for you help as always.

First, you need to be sure what version of the game you have. Check to see what side vehicles travel on without any mods. If they travel on the right, you need to install NAM with the Right-Hand Drive option (default) checked. If they travel on the left,you need the Left-Hand Drive option.

Also, if you install RHW or NWM, you will need to select the correct Drive-Side option. Suggest you might want to remove your entire NAM folder and re-install.

Cheers CaptCity.

I have the LHD UK version, I thought I may need a complete reload just to be on the safe side.

Update:  complete delete and reload of NAM/RHW & NWM and still cars on the left but painted marking for  left turn lanes. The cars even move into the middle of the road to turn right as they should, it is just the road markings that are wrong?

I have ticked all the LHD boxes, I may just give up now...

[z1 566]

Try demolishing the incorrect tiles and replopping them.

[Hatchet999 0]

Hi Z1

I tried that after the reload and it just came back as before.

I can't be the only person with the LHD version, so if it works for all of them I know its something I've done wrong.

I'm just darned if i know what it is :-(

Are those the only plugins you currently have installed? Also, did you ever try to switch your game to Right-Hand drive?

[Samness 104]

I have a problem... the NAM traffic lights and the RHW exits are all facing the wrong side. All exits go out to the left instead of the right. I need help!

[Hatchet999 0]

Problem solved.

I apologise NAM team, it wasn't anything NAM or RHW related. Just a carelessly overlooked (or rather well hidden) LHD tick box for the Euro road textures!

Thanks for all the help guys :-)

[greenbelt 2]

How can I cross one RHW-2 over another RHW-2? I couldn't find any puzzle pieces going over RHW-2, only for RHW-4. I could change the intersection to a road over a road but that would defeat the purpose of using RHW.

Thanks greenbelt

[Vahr 343]

ERHW-2 is planned for v4.x series.

I seem to encounter this problem when trying to apply the NWM roads.

Is it only the one piece or do others do the same? Are you sure you comletely removed any previous NAM files before installing the new version?

[kolnikov inc 1]

captcity do you think the next NAM release would include a condensed elevated roundabout interchange? that interchange is possible with NAM 4.0 but the scale it takes is too massive..it could be an addition like the D.D.I. and the S.P.U.I. puzzle pieces.

[CaptCity 4,896]

If I did know if that particular interchange is in the works for a possible NAM component, I would never divulge such secrets... 

Seriously, I do know that things are always being considered, depending on difficulty and need. You might ask about it in the NAM Request thread.

It is possible to make a similar interchange with the current pieces...

Not exactly the same, but close...

[the Fox 4]

the mod in Sim City 4 you add or take the place of existing objects present in the game?

Not sure what you are asking... If you want to use the NAM, you can find it here.

[shanghai kid 6]

@the Fox

the Nam only add's to the game nothing is taking over existing objects, though some adds to them like road turning lanes.

[Hiandby4 1]

Ok this has started happening just recently when I got the new nam.

My train tarcks are layed but this is the catch every tile of track two brown boxes po up and this happens with the train viaduct peices as well and the wide curves but el-train and monorail work fine. I even put the texture on maxis when installing nam and it still doesn't work. Please help.

[CaptCity 4,896]

Hiandby4...

Did you happen to have a catanery mod in your NAM folder that you may not have replaced with the new installation?
