Just an update, I have got the 3 .dat files I needed from a Mac download and placed them in my main NAM folder and it works ! I will have to use now for a period of time to see if there are any problems resulting from this, but so far so good.

Thanks for your help SuperBacon and MandleSoft. I will try and retrieve the file as suggested and I hope it does get re-implemented at some point as I do miss them !

Okay, yes, I didn't call them turning lanes just incase that wasn't the correct term (I'm quite new to this!!) So...what options do I need to check (or uncheck) in the NAM 31 install to get these to show up again when I join two roads? I do have options checked for TuLEPS as far as I can tell but that hasn't solved this. Note, this is not a junction that I create - they just automatically form like this (or used to) when I connected the roads together as shown in the picture. Could it be the UK textures maybe preventing these junctions forming?

Here is a picture I've just found. This is what I'm trying to get back into my game.

I have recently added NAM 31 overriding my previous NAM. I used to have some really nice junction road markings, but now I can't get the game to re-create them. I'll do my best to describe them in the hope that someone can tell me which option to install so they will show up. The markings apply to where two roads cross over, so a straight forward junction really. When I do this, the road just before the junction would create another lane so now there would be three and the bit I really liked was the diagonal lines creating a small curved tapered eliptical shape in the road (leaf shaped in a way), where cars are supposed not to enter. We are only talking one or two tiles here, not a whole length of road. This is using the euro road textures with white lines and left hand drive and I also have the RHW. I also have selected the UK textures. Please, what should I check or uncheck to get these road markings back? Thank you.

So, what about the two types of street lighting that I mentioned - very worthy editions I think, and quite iconic of the British 50's and 60's era. Could this be of interest to you?

Oh, okay.... Can I just clarify a couple of things then please. I wouldn't just want eg. German, or British, or USA etc. I do want to have the overides across my cities, but to have chosen some from each country for particular road type and wealth etc. So, if I go and use version 5, does this mean I will have to loose all the overides which I have in version 4? I'm guessing that V5 is fine if you just wan't one countries style lights only. Is this correct? Finally (for now), what do you think of my suggestion to have the swan neck side street lights from the UK 40's and 50's era, although some remain today; and also the large flourecent tube lamps of the 50's 60's era ? Would you like some pictures to work from as these really would add a new character to the streets and roads.

Version 5...didn't realise there was one until you mentioned it Mandlesoft ! However, is it a comprehensive set like version 4, or are they just individual packs of which ever country you want. (because I like to mix and match). It may well still leave room for my suggestions anyway. Always room for more! ;-)

Hello, I've only just picked up on this mod (the LRMv4 one) and it's a fantastic idea to add more variety to the cities. May I suggest, there are some really special designs of streetlights from the UK back in the 1950's and 1960's which would make a wonderful addition to your lighting. There are the swan neck side road lights and the large flourecent tubes, and sometimes on concrete posts. I would be happy to send you some pics/sketches for you or someone to work from. Trust me - they will add a new and quite different look to what you already provide. Thanka for all your hard work on this. (sorry if this is on the wrong forum topic, but I'm new here and still have to learn how to drive round the website!!)
