NWM (Network Widening Mod) - Development and Support

[Wiimeiser]

This might even be for a similar reason to what causes them to instantly abandon if plopped. Right?

[Tarkus]

Whatever it is, R zones have always been the most particular in terms of developing.  I'd speculate with reasonable certainty that it's something to do with how the zoning system was accommodated in the executable.

Also, for those of you who have had the infamous Z-fighting issue with an nVidia card on the NWM Wealthified Puzzle Piece Transitions, you may want to check out this thread.  Wthrwyz appears to have found a solution.

Some new additions.

Nice. Have you got them all done yet. With the triple tilers could yo extend the pylons so they are on the footpath corners?

[jdenm8]

Actually, the plan was to only do the wider AVEs (AVE-6 is coded, but not Modelled or Pathed and the code for AVE-8 is in place) as that is a very long distance to go without a pylon.

Even with the pylons extended to the corners, it's still 40m or 130ft without a pylon. With the AVEs I can cut that down to 24m or 79ft but I don't have that safe harbour in the TLAs.

@jdenm8: You can make a T21 arch for wider network!

I have a problem.

It looks like some textures are conflicting. I didn't check the paths, but I'm assuming it's the textures. If someone could get me a patch or lead me to one, then that would really be appreciated.

Are you using the draggable transitions? If so, I've had the same problem before, so instead I use the ploppable transitions as a simple alternative.

I fairly certain I made a patch for that at some point--when it was initially reported a few months ago--but I'm not sure where it is.  I'll have to look.

Edit: It appears that for some reason, when the issue was first reported, I remarked that it would require repackaging the entire mod.  However, upon a further look, that doesn't appear to be necessary.  I've attached the 2.0.3 patch below, which includes everything from the previous patches (path fixes) merged into the .dat.  Just unzip to your Network Widening Mod folder.

Thank you Alex!

That is actually a mock-up, a cosmetic override of the AVE-6 intersection. Here you can see the massive distance issues that this network presents.

Hmm, isn't it "You must construct additional pylons!" ?

I believe Aldaris would agree with you.  Though, a nice cantilever truss would probably do the job even better.

I know, I know, but when I noticed the error (after saving and uploading the image) I couldn't be bothered re-cropping the original image. I have to err... use Paint now.

I found this inordinately funny...

[TEG24601]

Instead of additional pylons, why not a arch or other realistic feature to provide for the needed support. 

[io_bg]

This doesn't look any better

Of course, I'm not sure that there's not really much we can do there.  It's a draggable connection and we can't anticipate what the user will be doing on the other side.
