  1. Modd Ideas/Requests

    BackRoads replied to Livin in Sim's topic in Cities XXL Custom Content Creation

    Request: intersections for all roads that have four and two way stops, but at a minimum, make a four and two way stop sign intersection for two lane streets and roads with all other roads. Details: This game is simply not fun if there is a stoplight every 10 feet on a RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH NO ROAD LINES!!!! AND EVEN DIRT FARM ROADS WTF!!!!! (total nerd rage, I fail to understand how they could make two versions of this game without realizing 90% of their customer base is anal over stuff like this) Game Benefits: The game would be far more realistic if this simple mod was added. I don't even care if the cars treat it like a stop sign so as long as it cosmetically has one. -------------------------------- Request: The ability to name roads! And if you can't add this easily, give SOME way to label areas on the map, then I can create my own system, i.e. placing a labelled building near a road to designate the roads name. Details: see above. Game Benefits: The game lacks character and a personal feel when the roads have no names. -------------------------------- Request: Turning Lane Avenues Details: We have almost every road combination you can think of but this, would love to see a center turning lane added on two and four lane roads. Game Benefits: Nearly every American city has a turning lane on the majority of their major roads.

    Unless this game has a wide variety of road types, and REALISTIC ROAD LINES.... I mean WHAT ARE YOU THINKING WITH THE WHITE DOTTED LINES EVERYWHERE??? HOW THE HECK IS THAT REALISTIC??????? And if you're gonna add a ton of detail to the cars, make them look modern and realistic as well.
  3. Has anyone considered making a puzzle piece that is 2 tiles wide that would be a 4 lane RHW, that way you could make 8 lane highways? What is to stop someone from making a super long puzzle piece like that with the RHW textures, and then just connecting the normal RHW pieces or one way roads at either end?
  4. Alright, well I am definetly confused too.... those puzzle pieces for the onramps and stuff...is that in RHW 13?? If it isn't, when will that stuff be released? Also, what significant things have been added to RHW 13 other than allowing for avenues over RHW? Does RHW 13 have that glitch fixed when you try to make 4 lanes going one way and the turn into opposites?
  5. It would still be nice though if someone could make this texture as it would make the interchanges that use the one way streets look more natural. Heck, someone my as well make a texture mod that makes all the streets gray, and have each street mod in a separate .dat file so the user can choose which streets he wants to be gray, etc.
  6. Could someone make a patch that would change the texture of the one way roads to that of the RHW? That way you could run the one way roads paralell to the RHW to make a highway with as many lanes as you want and you wouldn't have to worry about the RHW glitch when you try to make an 8 lane highway. It can't be that hard to do, could someone make this??? I have tried myself but I am baffled as how to edit textures.
  7. Not that, I tried the tutorial but I could not get it to work completely. I am talking about when the RHW with a four lane road that is totally connected, meaning all four lanes are pathed and a car can switch between any of the lanes, not two 2 lane roads. Is this ever going to be released?
  8. Quick question, will the multi lane RHW, such as the RHW-8 be in the next release? That is what I am most looking forward to.
  9. for some reason it didnt replace the textures, can someone link me to the two lane RHW download in case i installed it wrong?
  10. One question, I downloaded the two lane RHW, basically the two lane road with the dotted yellow line. But how do I use it in game? The plug in is in the folder with the rest of the RHW stuff but how do I use it in the game????
  11. Im a little confused, I have the ANT on mine but I cant seem to draw 2 together to double the lanes, and they dont connect to any freeways or avenues, so what are they good for? Also, with this rural highway, will it have the option when you drag 2 side by side to have 4 lanes going in one direction?
  12. Yea if anyone near ann arbor michigan wants to have a party im game lol
  13. Is it normal on a brand new system with 512 RAM to take up to 20 minutes to save my large, 700,000 population city? It almost makes it not worth playing to have to wait that long every couple minutes.

  14. Turning Lanes - Feedback and Testing

    BackRoads replied to the7trumpets's topic in NAM & Transit Networks

    Date: 5/29/2005 8:01:49 PM Author: zdog720 Is there anyway to make the avenues look like this? Instead of having medians all the time? https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//ave2.jpg align=baseline> I was also wandering if it was possible to have streetlights on the side of the road instead of in the middle? quote> If someone can successfully modify these textures to look like that (except cleaner, and more phto realistic. no offense to whoever drew the example, i realize it was just for demonstration) that would be AWESOME. Everyone in America on this site would LOVE that. I know here in the midwest that is a very common road, and as I have always said, if you want the median, just run two one way roads next to eachother. This doesnt even have to be part of the final mod, but if someone could post a texture mod for this it would be GREATLY appreciated.

  15. NAM General Discussion Thread

    BackRoads replied to Tropod's topic in NAM & Transit Networks

    The categories for my NAM seem to show up (I have the newest version) but I am having the invisible problem, and not only that but it wont let me place to puzzle pieces, I can select them but the curser turns red when I select them and wont let me place them or scroll through them. What is wrong?
