RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[jmvl]

That's awesome, Alex! It's definitely something that I would use in my region!

[just_a_guy]

Another very useful puzzle piece. It looks great! But i've thinking, isn't it possible to put guard rails right before the bridge section on those onslope pieces? Just for the sake of realism.

Hehe, a little more teaser, no?

Mightygoose: Models a letdown? See below.

Allan: see below too

Brian: Thanks

J-Dub: Well, look below too. Also, I am trying to rotate my model right now and RUL a diagonal piece, but that likely won't be for a while.

Pat: Well, its gonna get even more interesting.

grbac: Thanks, diagonals will come soon.

woodb3kmaster: Thats on the list

Anyhoo, teaser time!

First, the model:


Now, some ingame pics:




NOTE: The model is slightly off because of a LOD problem. I am re-rendering as soon as I can

Vince, awesome work there!  I'm glad to see all the RHW-FLUPs underpass pieces are working there!   

I just have one suggeston with the model--it's got a little bit of a gap there between the entrance and the ground RHW-4 roadway.  Relatively easy to fix.

Looks great Blue Lightning!

[Haljackey]

Looking better and better Vince!  Glad to see its fully functional!

FLUPs FTW!   8)

[woodb3kmaster]

Looks good, Vince (although I might make the concrete texture a bit darker)! This is just what I need! Thanks also for letting me know about those FLUPs I asked for. Keep up the great work!

[j-dub]

Awesome modeling 

[WC_EEND]

looks great, although I'd personally lose the traffic lights

[io_bg]

Looks much better now!

[metarvo]

Yes, I'm playing around with underpasses right now, so more options are always nice.  Good work, Vince! 

[Tarkus]

More ramp interface-y goodness.  Textures still need some work--darkening, namely--but the basic concept is in place.



And yes, there's some unusual stuff with the starters here.

That's great! Ramps of this type are really useful!

[metarvo]

This would be quite useful for me, Alex.  I recently ran into a situation where I needed to make a turn with a RHW-10 immediately after an exit.  Since the widest RHW that can go diagonal is RHW-8, I had to transition it to RHW-8 to make the turn, but the transition ate up valuable real estate.  This ramp gets around this limitation, so that's why I think this is a great idea.  Good job!

[nerdly_dood]

It looks to me like this will be an excellent new feature to allow for accel/decel lanes for RHW-8 and RHW-6S... 

[Blue Lightning]

Wow, that is SO gonna be useful! I think this is cool. Oh, having fun with starters i see? Hmm, but then how does the 6S inside turn into the inside of a RHW 8 without having a blocker or another starter?

Vince

[Tarkus]

Thanks, guys--glad to hear you like the new interfaces!

Hmm, but then how does the 6S inside turn into the inside of a RHW 8 without having a blocker or anotehr starter?

Good question.  There will be some new override code involved, though it only exists in my head at the moment.

Just what I was looking for.  Nice work, Alex, I love the new ramps!
