No BB, ALL of the old Ploppable GLR Stations have been given the upgraded lots.  There is one download in which has ALL of the updated lots.  These lots replace the lots from the OLD GLR stations.  But due to the fact you are not allowed to upload other people's models without permission you are required to download the OLD GLR stations and then add the new lots for the Draggble GLR.

I have a problem where for some reason, no matter what I do, even with updating everything, the Millau Viaduct and Tsing Ma bridges won't show up under the Additional Bridges setup. Is there a way I can get around this, like zzzing the names or moving them out of the NAM section? I already had a Tsing Ma before but deleted that to get it compatible with the new NAM, and Millau I've never been able to use. I'm sorry I'm so untechnical about this, but I really know nothing about how the various plugins interact. Also, I did read the other thread about the Fukuda bridge problems, and nothing helped from that. I'm 100% sure I have it installed right.

All comments are welcome! (Hopefully someday I can re-splice 'em together, but we'll see)

Make sure to delete all old versions of the additional bridges you might have installed. Download the current versions from the LEX, these should work perfectly with the June 2007 NAM. I can't guarantee that the bridges that are available at the STEX are fully compatible, since I cannot update those. At the moment, you don't need to download the NAM Essentials if you want to use the additional bridges together with the NAM, since the same bridge controller file is already included. Only if you want to use the bridges without the NAM (this actually works!), or if new bridges are released in the future, you need to update the NAM Essentials as well.

Yes, I did download it all off the LEX. The other custom bridges work fine-- it's just those specific two. Even Akashi Kaikyo works(when I can make a big enough span...)

I just installed the new NAM (june 2007) and suddenly all my turninglanes dissapeared (roads) although i specified in the installer that I wanted them.
When browsing my plugins I can only find avenue turninglanes as .DAT file, I suppose there should be a similar .DAT file for the road turning lanes as well?
If it matter I use the Euro textures mod, but that didn´t affect the previous NAM.
Also a hint to Andreas and other NAM specialists: I first downloaded the NAM essentials, and when I used the link there to download the NAM installer I was directed to the old 2006 version of the installer...

Any help regarding the turning lanes would be much appreciated, thanx!

First, Start the reinstall process for the NAM.

2nd, when you get to the screen below, select the "Full Installation" (Select the Left Hand One if you drive on that side) where the blue arrow is pointing.  That will select both sets of turning lanes. (That's what the red arrow is pointing at.)



3rd, I personally recommend then going up to the "Click + to select Oneway Arrow Mods" and turning them both off.  The reason why you ask?  Well, some people have reported not being able to remake some types of transitions from the AVE to a pair of One Way Roads.  Now, this part is up to you.



Hope this helps ya out. ;)

Is that old 2006 NAM version still online? I thought jeronij fixed that a long time ago... Anyway, I will check the link (in the readme file, I suppose), so it points to the most current NAM. Most likely, the NAM Essentials will be updated soon, so I'll wait for this occasion.

Regarding the road turning lanes: I made them optional in the default NAM installation type, because not everyone might want them in his city, and they're also a bit more resource-intensive than other NAM items. I thought I made it absolutely clear how to select the individual NAM items by adding that "<- Click here to select..." caption, but apparently, this is still not the case.

well, the problem with the rtl is now solved, so thanx!
It appears I was in a bit of a hurry...

Bluebeard

Which goes first.Does the Core NAM go before the Essentials or is it Visa Versa?.
     See I'm just wondering has the Essentials screwed up my set up when I installed NAM.I don't want find myself driving on the wrong side of the road or worse blowing up my pc then having my wife cut me to pieces.Thanx

JoeST

You install it in this order:

Network Addon Mod June 07 (core)

NAM Essentials

RHW
Copperminds and Cuddleswarms

Bluebeard

Isn't RHW part of Essentials?.
   If not where does 1 go to download RHW and once download where will RHW show in the game menu?.Thanx

Oh so the Essentials didn't screw up the Core.

Jonathan

For the RHW:
The main NAM files contain the files which enable the ANT network, that the RHW uses
Essentials contain the RUL files which make the RHW textures "work" in game.
The RHW files contain the textures that are used by the RULs.


At the top of the Highway menu is where the RHW icon is..

Bluebeard

Thanx but 1 slight problem.
     The "Essentials" wiped out my "ANT" thanx to the Cleanitol.So are you saying to wipe "All" the NAM out and re-install and ignore the Cleanitol.?.Thanx

Andreas

Run Cleanitol before installing the NAM or any other current NAM plugin.
Andreas

Bluebeard

Um I did that Andreas.That is why I no longer have "ANT" beside of Cleanitol.

  Here is what I did:
     I had NAM already installed so I try this RHW but you need Essentials.So I download Essentials but before installing ran Cleanitol and removed what it asked.
   Now no ANT and I ain't sure how screwed up my Core NAM is.Thanx

Andreas

Andreas

Bluebeard

Well I must have because the Cleanitol found it.
    So if need "ANT" for RHW what would the Essentails Cleanitol tell you to remove it?.

The Cleanitol file will remove all outdated NAM files, regardless if the filename is the same or different than in the current NAM version. That's because you should run it first, so all old NAM stuff and other incompatible transit mods get removed. Please read the includede "ReadMeFirst" document that comes with the NAM for more information. :)
Andreas

Bluebeard

No disrespect Andreas but I did "Read" the "Read Me" and there is no outdated NAM.So the Essential Cleanitol removed a new ANT file.
   So since you havn't a clue and I apprecaite the attempt you made I'll just skip the RHW.Thanx

JoeST

He blatently said about 3 times that you run the Cleatnitol file before installing the NAM. If you do that and then install the both parts of the NAM essentials and then the RHW 13b installer, you should have no problem.

Though if you cant follow these simple tips then more fool you, your the one that will miss out on the great NAM addoon
