I've got another ramp interface here--RHW-6S splitting into two RHW-4s.  Texture still needs a little work. 

It's rather handy for creating Collector/Distributor lanes, as you'll see by this latest development screenie . . .



Since the RHW has switched entirely over to a new puzzle-drag mechanism, like the SAM and Draggable GLR, there's no fancy tricks needed to keep two adjacent RHW-4s going the same direction.  The old side-by-side method has been completely eliminated and will no longer work in v20.  ;)

Hope you enjoyed this screenie . . . back with much more very soon. ;)

Texture needs more work, though. It may also need an extra tile, at least to get rid of that kink in the lane merge.

You also might need to flip the line markings (just so you remember :P).

That's probably the best thing about this pending release for my taste.  I really have a hard time getting good separation between each 2-lane using the side-by-side.  Will the new RHW have 45 degree curves like the highways under the last NAM?

I'll believe it when I see it. The MIS is just like waiting for a goal during a Chelsea match- it always seems to be on the way, but never arrives. (Me being a proud Red Devil)

oooh belive me M1 the new RHW with MIS is on its way shortly!!! I have faith its soon and that is all one needs is a little faith.... BTW welcome to devotions and have a fun time here

Yes, I successfully got it last night, and hopefully I'll have an in-game screenie of it in the next couple of days. :)

It depends on how close you think. :D  We're not telling, either. $%Grinno$%  We like to surprise people . . .

We have a lot of those two lane splits for exits in Albany. They're great, because if you know it's there you can avoid the congestion of people in the outer lane, and zip right on past. For example, this one at exit 1 on 787.
Known as Embolalia in numerous other places.

Penguins, Python, and Programming, oh my!

Crissa

Those are really common in California, nearly all of our interstate interchanges work like that.  Exit-only lanes.

I haven't seen an expansion/contraction lane split yet, Tarkus.  How are you handling those?

Man, the anticipation is just killing me!  I've even prepared for the glorious arrival of the MIS with a short-term workaround:

I'm ready for the new RHW/MIS whenever it's ready!  ;D  Great work!  &apls

Edit : Please consider converting your png to jpg ~Wouanagaine~

Interesting XL2007.

On a side note XL2007, you should compress your JPG images.  900k+ for those images are just way too big.  Take a look at my signature for info on how to compress the images and keep the file sizes down to help out the dial-up users that are still out there.

Check out the 9/11/01 Car Set Checklist.

Take a look @ the JPG Compression tutorial.  A must read to help cut away unnecessary file size from 500k+ images to help dial-up users out.

loneranger: have ya checked out the SAM thread yet? there is a minireadme of the SAM and also at the very bottom there are instructions on how to install each mod. if ya havnt yet make sure to check it out i had to help someone install the whole package a few days ago and it works fine for them  ;)

Well, I finaly got it working and the solution was quite simple.
I renamed the NAM folder in my pluggins to Z_NAM and now I can finaly use the RHW. 
Since I obviously have some conflicting controller hiding somewhere in my "pluggins compressed" folder and the NAM folder was loaded before "Pluggins compressed".  &idea
Gonna take me hours to replace my highway network.  :D

I could allready place the RHW but not connect it to any other form of transit. [roads/streets etc]
Now my problems are over.  :thumbsup:

He has a point though especialy since imageshack is very slow. [took me 5 minutes to load those pics with my 21st century connection]
Besides, it's not so hard to convert to smaller .jpg's.  ;)

Andreas

It's also faster to convert a pic to JPG and then upload the smaller file with a 21st century connection than waiting forever due to the not-quite-as-fast ADSL upload. ;)

Ummm can you post jpeg pictures please not pngs, that are a bother to view regardless of dial up or otherwise....

Anycase Alex  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Although I did recovert my RHW Auckland Bypass back into standard maxis highways, reason, no cars used the RHW, but I got 7,000 as soon as the Maxis one was put back 5 years after the RHW was put in.  $%Grinno$%

Oh well great work as always
