RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[Shadow Assassin]

It could use some obscure voodoo magic. You never know.

The best kind....

That reference guide I just looked at will come in handy. Might print it out later when I need it. Keep Up The Great Work with this project.

I don't think I ever did say thank you for that guide yet, Ryan! It is an indispensable resource! Fantastic work and many thanks, my friend!

[Filasimo]

no problem Dustin! im just hoping RHW fans are putting it to good use! 

[RebaLynnTS]

I am slowly putting it to good use. I have started a new Region I called Four Cities. in each of the four corners is a city, with vast rural areas inbetween. I am finding if I use small cities for downtown, medium for suburbs, and large for rural, it works well.

Is there any WIP on touching up the base RHW gentle curve textures, they just don't mesh well.

Another question: I know at least with the Type-B ramps, the network changes to Road at the transition between drag and puzzle piece. It slows down the automata, but does it screw with network pathfinding?

The RHW is finally becoming a full-fledged highway network!

That's just a graphical glitch [and that's the old ANT network texture, by the way], don't worry too much about that. It doesn't screw with network pathfinding at all.

[kassarc16]

Ah, I might not have been specific enough. What I meant was, when you query over where the ramp puzzle piece and the draggable RHW meet, it comes up as road, not Rural Highway as the puzzle piece and rest of the network do. I'll try to post a pic later, my SC4 comp isn't hooked online ATM.

[Shadow Assassin]

Either way, it doesn't screw with the network pathfinding. The ANT network is unique in that while one particular tile may read as a different network, it may have the built in capacity and speed of the ANT network rather than the second network.

Time for me to steal some thunder from SA.

May I introduce you guys to the new version of the RHW-2 > MIS Splitter piece.

First, here's what the old one looked like made by Alex till I could get around to making my version:


Now, here's what the new one looks like:


So, how do you guys like it?

[Diggis]

very nice

[Meastro444]

  very good!

[Filasimo]

ddyyynnoooommitteee!!!!!! 

[Shadow Assassin]

Oh, so it is 2x2-ish like the old one. 


Anyway, wonderful job. Maybe you can get away with not needing new paths for this... lol.

[Haljackey]

Its a perfect match rickmastfan67, great job there!

Oh, and Shadow Assassin, your textures are looking awesome as well, everything lines up correctly!

Keep it up guys!  This is all fantastic work!

[Lollo]

Well done rickmastfan67! I always thought that piece had a strange shape... a beta-ish one... . Now it is much nicer..

[metasmurf]

Are you guys sure the road over rhw4 puzzle piece is working?
