Manual lane drops: a chore, but doable?

Looks more smooth than the majority of the train lines I've seen. 

[Koesj 659]

The smoothness of the curves is nothing special if you've figured out some curve tool tricks, and doesn't take much extra time, but cripes those merges/diverges. I'm really liking this centerline offset thing though!

Not sure how this helps NeEx development

I just noticed today that the tunnels for 2-way National Highway have walls   How did you do that? Can all tunnels get these?

I do believe we'll eventually have visible tunnels for every road type.

forgive me if i am asking in the wrong place but how exactly do i install this mod (obviously im not using a steam version of the game) i unzipped the file and put it in the "mods" folder assuming thats wat i had to do, but it doesnt work, so i figure i have them in the wrong folders, however im not sure of the correct folders or where to maybe find an install guide, i have done a quick search and it just shows spot light videos and such. could anybody maybe please help?

How is Tam coming along? I don't want to use Traffic++ knowing TAM is on its way.

[GC_Vos 714]

@krenemo Have you subscribed thru steam and enabled it? That's how we generally use it. Otherwise it goes into your local mods folder.

I wouldn't count on TAM any time soon. I am unsure what the coding guys from T++ are doing atm, but we have gone back to updating Next as we did some months back. Atm there's little difference between running tam beta or next with t++ (optionally), the code is all the same.

[Mr_Maison 2,426]

I hope this mod stays independent. It's perfect on it's own.

[boformer 3,169]

The 8L avenue with median was added to the TAM GitHub repository about one week ago.

The traffic++ performance issues were solved 2 days ago.

Improved AI was added 2 days ago.

 

[GC_Vos 714]

I think Next will probably remain as a standalone.

Yes 8L median is already in the game We all use the TAM git btw.

Koesj - I just found your interchanges on Steam. These are perfect looking interchanges! Good job! Could you tell me how did you pass the limit o 62x62 cells in editor? I tried building my version of Turbine interchange but I couldn't pass this limit. Thanks in advance!

[Koesj 659]

With the NoPillars mod! I used the No Collision function so I could pass the limit  

[wojtason 113]

Oh perfect  Thanks a lot!

My wish finally became true: 1-cell roads!

That's better than trams, and worth a 10$ donation

[Koesj 659]

Fantastico!!!!

[Turjan 1,048]

Excellent! I have been eagerly waiting for these.

[boformer 3,169]

There are a few problems related to 1-cell roads:

• Zone Grid Snapping (causes gaps in the zone grid)
• Zone Grid Offset (causes more gaps)

To fix both problems, I created a small mod that will soon be integrated in NExt, so I'm not going to release it:

I like the idea of Trams lets just hope that CO get it right, case of wait and see..  As for other things looks like they have been able to work out how to do Assymetrical Roads which will be even sweeter..

[hitzu 139]

Oh my gosh! Yes! Thank you, guys!

Do you mean single track? I doubt that C:S engine allows bi-directional single tracks, although I would be really happy to have them in the game.

[Avanya 2,605]

Wooo! Have been looking forward to these for a while.  Awesome work!

[hitzu 139]

Can we expect 1-cell zonable pedestrian roads anytime soon?

Later
-[In progress] Full support of Road Color Changer
-2 lanes Road with painted median
-2 lanes Rural Road
-2 lanes Suburban / Cobble Road
-4 lanes National Road with median
-6 lanes National Road with median
-6 lanes Avenues with median
-8 lanes Road with median [E/B/T]
-8 lanes Highway
-Assymetrical Roads (i.e. 3+2)
-Express Highways (very fast highways)

Yeah, I mean single track but oneway. I know there is a mod for oneway track but it's unrealistic. That would look great like in SC4.

What the purpose of the one-way single track? STR in SC4 are bi-directional, but this doesn't affect simulation, though sometimes automata (automatas?) crash into each other.

Great - just great!

Do you know how the single-cell roads work with the zoning toggler? I'm using this quite often now to diminish the negative effects of the vanilla zoning getting too many fragments.

Holy ...., that's such a simple (and clever) idea!!! Zone block fragmentation can be infuriating at times, never even thought about this!

O/t: what an amazing addition once more to an already fantastic mod! My Cims better brace themselves, I predict a massive redevelopment wave in my city

Yup, I'm gonna see if I can work 3+2 onto 4L/4LTL meshes.

[GC_Vos 714]

You can make some pretty sweet roundabouts and avenues with 1 cell...
