Turning lane problem

[Deathtoall 28]

First i have searched the forums for turining lane problems and they haven't yeilded any results.

I have installed the nam, reinstalled over and over again with many different combinations of pugins and left and right sided driving. Yet i still seem to be missing the turining lanes. Both for roads and avenues. Any help would be apppreciated. I have the october 2005 Nam edition.

 

Thanking you in advance

Deathtoall.

As you are installing NAM, you have the option to select the turning lanes, but you must expand the tree to see them. [click the + in the box]

[Deathtoall 28]

I do tick the turning lane options for both. I probably forgot to mention that.

[zakuten 8]

There is one thing about it-- You need to repave all intersections to get the lanes. It confused me at first. Maybe that's it?

[Deathtoall 28]

i have tried that too. Thanks anyway for you input, both of you.

This might sound like a dumb question, but do you have Rush Hour/Deluxe versions of the game?

[Deathtoall 28]

Simcity 4 + Rush hour, any ideas?

It sounds like you have everything right, I can't think of anything that would keep them from working.

Sometimes you won't see the turning lanes until you build stuff near the junctions...

[JaWood 194]

Ok, just to make sure, you should have two files in your Plugins/NetworkAddonMod folder named NetworkAddonMod_TurningLanes_Avenues_Plugin_Beta.dat and NetworkAddonMod_TurningLanes_Roads_Plugin_Beta.dat. Doube check and make sure that they're there. If you checked the two options for tuning lanes in the install process, they should be there...

[Deathtoall 28]

JAWOOD- They are there

SCRUFFYDELUXE- I'll try that.

[antsel 841]

You know, I have the same problem. I used to have the avenue turning lanes from a previous version of NAM, but since I've downloaded and installed the October 05 version, they've all disapeared. I also found that I can't make the street roundabouts either, although I can make the road and the one way roundabouts. Wierd.

[tungston 19]

Since I have not had any trouble with either NAM I am not sure why things aren't working, unless there are some leftover dats from the previous NAM.

this might be off topic, but where do you get the NAM, and is it anti-average joe? I.E. is there a lot of technical mumbo jumbo involved in installing/using? Also, is it just download, install and it's ready to use, or do you have to download all the mods, junctions, transport options that you want?

It is self contained, and autoinstall for PC.  But there are quite a few instructions to read.  And some options to select.  After that it is just getting to know what it offers in the game.

 

EDIT:  The best way to know is to install it, and read the readme's.  You can always unistall it, with no damage to the game.

[Deathtoall 28]

So any other ideas or is it just not showing up?

Selles- that what has happened to me.

If you are sure you removed all of the previous NAM, then we need more information about your plugins.

[Deathtoall 28]

Besides nam i have no other know mods

for transit networks. Lot's of bsc and csx stuff. just mainly dependecies.

The bsc and csx lots are usually tested so they should not cause conflicts.  But I have seen problems with Athens2004 lots, mainly the Athens Olympic Stadium.

 

I would suggest doing a file search for Networkaddonmod, of the C drive, or whatever drive you have the game on, to see if you have more files than necessary.

 

I know I am being redundant about that but I keep thinking that is it.

[Deathtoall 28]

i have none of athens2004 stuff

i have no extra files for nam. Guess it could be different area codes or something.

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Hmm, interesting. Try reinstalling it. Remove all your plugins before reinstalling [also delete the NAM file]. Then try again.

 

Also, did you update your game to build 638? That's update 1 for RH. Build 640's for Update 2 [bAT]. It needs to be noticed that the game has to be updated to the latest version, for the NAM pieces to work properly. Can you see all the other NAM pieces?

 

 

[Deathtoall 28]

SHADOW- I don't know what you mean by 640 and 638's? All of my puzzle peices are working just the turning lanes aren't working.

Thanks for your replies.

[antsel 841]

Deathtoall, have you found that the RHW mod doesn't work for you either? The icons come up in the Highway menus but the parallel ANT doesn't turn into the RHW.

I did delete all previous files of the NAM, and still nothing doing. I guess I'll just have to go through my plug-ins folder to see what's causing the problem.

Oh, and please don't take my lack of posts as a lack of SimCity knowledge, because I've been around and for the most part I know what's going down.

Right-click on your EXE file in the Program Files directory, go to Properties and it'll tell you what version it is. That aside, have you tried moving your files around? Maybe this'll help: This is how my NAM plugins are set out:

NAM > NAM Core Files -- NetworkAddonMod.dat
|- NetworkAddonMod_ANT_Plugin_Beta.dat
|- NetworkAddonMod_Automata_Plugin_Standard.dat
|- NetworkAddonMod_Custom_Highway_Menu_Plugin.dat
|- NetworkAddonMod_DiagonalStreets_Plugin_Beta.dat
|- NetworkAddonMod_Roundabouts_OneWayRd_Plugin.dat
|- NetworkAddonMod_Roundabouts_Road_Plugin.dat
|- NetworkAddonMod_Roundabouts_Street_Plugin.dat
|- NetworkAddonMod_Traffic_Plugin_Radical.dat
|- NetworkAddonMod_Turning_Lanes_Avenue.dat
|- NetworkAddonMod_Turning_Lanes_Road.dat

Other non-NAM files such as RHW are put into seperate folders. eg: ZZ ANT Rural Highway, ZZZ Diagonal Dirty Streets Euro Rd Extended Version, and ZZZ Euro Roads and Highways. Any other NAM files that don't really belong in any of these folders are just thrown into the main NAM folder, such as the GLR-subway transition.

[antsel 841]

Deathtoall: I got it to work!!! I looked in my plugin folder and found that I still had my Diagonal streets alpha plugins. I deleted them, uninstalled the NAM files, and reinstalled them. I also structured my NAM folder the way that Shadow Assassin described. Now I have the road and avenue turning lanes, as well as the street roundabouts and the RHW is now functional. Thanks for the help SA, and I hope this helps you Deathtoall.

I do have the first update for simcity 4, not the second, could this be the problem?

 

At moment experimenting with different placement of files.

 

Also i don't know what you mean by EXE file. (I'm not the shapest crayon in the box when it comes to computers)

Isn't that the way it is in real life?  I can't help, though.

[Deathtoall 28]

TUGSTON-- I don't get any of them.
