Hey Joey, you can go ahead and release that Freeway Ends sign on the STEX if you want. But if you did that, you should probably do like a package of generic signs like, just a thought.

Scipio. How did you do that!!!!! Very nicely done, I am trying to learn how to do this myself but am very confused. Would appreciate some tips on how to get started.

Upon closer inspection, that is a street lamp.

Hi everyone, I want to thank everyone who has helped me so far. Ok, now I did get the ligths to work on the signs, sort of. Someone explain this one to me. I created this sign, plopped it on 2 different ends of a freeway interchange at the same time (the game was paused). I turned on all day and then all night and this is what I got. Now remember, this is the same sign planed at the same time, they are NOT two different signs. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Model%2002%20-%20Problem%201.JPG align=baseline> As you can see, the light isnt working. However, if you go to the other side of the freeway..... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Model%2002%20-%20Problem%202.JPG align=baseline> Any ideas on why this is happening? To test it out, i laid out a whole bunch of signs in a box that was 3 signs down by 3 signs across. Some were lit and some werent. Ideas?

I thought maybe not enough power was being supplied, but the power is not an issue.

Hey Guys, I LOVE THIS THING. It is mega awsome. Here are a few pics I have of my city with it. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//RHW%20and%20GHSDP%201.JPG align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//RHW%20and%20GHSDP%202.JPG align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//RHW%20and%20GHSDP%203.JPG align=baseline> If done the correct way, your city can out to be a master piece. There are only a few comments I have: 1. Maybe in the next release, having some interchanges would be awsome. 2. Jug Handles (every visit new jersey?) 3. Interections with stop lights (IE: In the first 2 shots, I converted the RHW into an avenue and because it wouldnt put up stop lights when I ran the road over the top of it). Other than that, I would love to learn how to start making intersections for you if someone wouldnt mind telling me how. Also, Model 02 of the G.H.S.D.P (The overhead PA 434 North/South Signs in the first 2 pictures) has been finsihed and will be released next week sometime on the STEX. Model 03 - B, which will be tailored for the RHW project, will start right after that. Artforce 1 Team Leader, Generic Highway Sign Development Project

Dear RHW Team and Affiliates: All of us simtropolians are very greatful for the gift of finally being able to break away from the bounds of the in-game 3 lane freeway. As a gift, we here at the Generic Highway Sign Development Project team would like to present you with this: https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Gift%20for%20RHW%20Team.jpg width=807 align=baseline> This sign symbolizes the end of the dominance of the 6 lane freeway and beginning of the Rural, 4 lane highway. It is also the first sign with actual rear pannel textures instead of a solid yellow color (the new standard for all signs comming out after this one). We will not be posting this sign on STEX, but would rather be honored if you put it out with your release as a plopable lot. The gmax model will be sent to you as soon as you tell us who to send it to. Again, thank you for your hard work. Sincerely, Artforce1, Team Leader, Generic Highway Sign Development Project

Ok, its still not working. Here are the steps I have done so far: 1. Created a spot light to shine on my sign. 2. Changed the name of the lite to nitelitespot01. 3. Previewed it in Day and Night (It looks fine in both day and night, exactly how I want it). 4. I finish up the sign, bat it, and open it up in the plugins manager. 5. In the plugins manager, I set the light option to True and close the plugins manager. 6. In LEProp Editor, I set the power usage level to 1. 7. I start the game, play it in daytime mode/night time mode, and then switch between the 2 modes twice and wait one sim month. 8. The lights refuse to come on. I thought i Had the latest patches, but maybe I dont. Where are the latest patches that I need that are related to my issue. I checked the EA website and I dont see any specific light patches.

How long do I have to wait before the lights come on. Because I just did that and Im still waititng for them to come on. Should I play around in god mode with the day and night settings?

Hi Everyone, Excellent thread. I have read all of it and I think that my question might have some relevance. I have downloaded all the latest patches from the simcity site, I have RH, Gmax, the whole lot. I am just learning how to do this and I wanted some help. I created the lights for the following sign in the follow way: Create--Lights---Target SPot: But it was showwing up in the day time too. So I named the lights nitelite_1 and nitelite_2 and then I got this: So I got the lights to turn off in the day but not on at night. So then, I went and changed the settings in the plugin manager: I then re-plopped the sign in the same lot, saved, and then tried the game over again for a good half hour. It is still not working. What exactly am I missing? Pictures deleted due to being over the permitted ST picture limit. Please in the future keep all pics at 800*600 pixles , Superstar

I will personally hold an RHW Release Party at my appartment. I will have Miller Lite, Molson, and Smirnoff on ice with Bud on tap. Who wants to bring the pizzas?

Yea I was kinda wondering that myself, are there going to be RHW onramps and offramps?

I know, its a work in progress. Were aiming to get the signs to be at a maximum of 18 feet (or 6 meters) from the base of the sign to the road bed, since that is what an engineer from PennDOT said to me in an email I sent to the DOT asking about specific dimensions of all types of freeway signs. How will this translate into the game? The beauty of these signs are that they are completely customizable if you want to! You could scale it down to what your heart desires

To the RHW team, this is what we at the G.H.S.D.P are having in the works right now: This is a 20 minute work of what Model 03 will look like when it is released. This is NOT the final version. We are still working on some problems with our Model 02: ] With that model, we are working on the lighting problems and the lighting props for the sign. Once those are figured out, jeronji is helping out the most with Model 03, walking me through transit enabled props and what not. I am INSANELY tied up with 3 different school projects right now, so I am leaving most of the work in the capable hands of my team mates. However, the new update model 01 with 9 shields (US interstate, US Highway, NJ/Delaware/Iowa/Kentucky/Mississippi/New Jersey/Oklahoma Shield, Ohio Shield, Pennsylvania Shieldi, NY Shield, Trans-Canadian Highway 1 Shield, QEW [Canada] Shield, and Canada's interstate shield) is available on STEX. Go to the G.H.S.D.P thread to check out what thats about!!!!! qurlix, id really like to know what you think about the progress for Models 02 & 03. What do you want done and not done, PM me!!!

Thanks for the that one qurlix, my team and I are working on some lighting problems we are having with our model 02 sign. But, we will need this later!!! The sign for these roads probably wont be started until after its release anyway. Thanks again.

Oh, I didnt know that!!! Thanks for telling. Ok, tell you what people, if I get it, I can tell you where to get it! Much respect to budweiserman23, I wouldnt do anything without anyone's permission. Im looking for instructions on how to create my own sign. I used it once, made a house with 1 door and all orange and got frustrated after that because I didnt want to make a house, I wanted to make a sign!!!

The link does indeed work, but only to the main webpage. Beyond that, you can get the works in progress but to get to the hall of fame (which is probably where that file is), it wont work. I will try posting on the BSP page though. Thanks!!

Man the suspense is driving me up the wall!!!! Hahahaha. This would make an awsome christmas present though (please note: i hope its out before that!!!)

Yea, I know. I tracked down the independent websites for the 2 Barry Sanders Page and noone of them were working. If they were, I would suspect that I could find the Generic Exit 69 page there, but since they arent, does anyone have this gmax file so that I could get working on my own exit signs?
