I doubt that this would be released at all since they have RL issues. dont get your hopes up on releasing it on new years day.

and please stop guessing. it only pushes them back even more.

Reverse psychology, eh?

Well, the mod's nearly done, and I don't have any major RL coming up.

And I don't really dictate the releases based on folks' guesses, either. Stuff just . . . happens.

RHW Day is imminent.

It doesn't stop for long though... Pretty soon people start guessing on the next version, lol.

Dec. 26th isn't Boxing Day here in the Netherlands, it's 2nd Christmas Day.

Let me guess... 31 December 2008

Best,

Imminent? That sounds good to me.

I know when RHW v2.0 becomes locked again and no longer supported then I will be excited!!! I will then know for sure RHW v3.0 will right around the corner for sure!!! Or at least I would hope soo hehehehe

Korot · December 26, 2008, 11:30:30 AM

Some months ago they closed RHW v2.0, and now you can download it again, so I don't think that a locked v2.0 should be considered a big marker of arrival.

j-dub · December 26, 2008, 01:24:22 PM

That lock on 2.0 was to prep for 3.0, but that was before stuff was changed at the last minute. Again though, don't expect an 08 release.

michl · December 26, 2008, 01:27:48 PM

I live the RHW-Mod. I hope, that it will be realised soon.

Couldn't agree more!

Tarkus · December 26, 2008, 04:51:58 PM

Just to clarify--I'm not relocking RHW Version 2.0. There will just be a straight transition from Version 2.0 to 3.0. The only indicator will be checking the "update" date on the LEX and STEX uploads--and any announcements I make here.

And I'm not giving an inch on the release date.

deathtopumpkins · December 26, 2008, 05:31:40 PM

Hey Alex, one quick question.
On the list of included components of v3.0, it says

QuoteElevated MIS/Avenue Intersection Puzzle Pieces (all orthogonal/orthogonal)

Are there also going to be pieces to intersect road, OWR, etc.? Those would be really helpful on some of my interchanges.

andreharv · December 26, 2008, 11:12:06 PM

In version 3 would it be possible implement a rhw4,6,8 etc neighborhood connection or will we need to make the loop intersection? This may have been asked before so I apologize in advance.

Tarkus · December 27, 2008, 02:28:07 AM

deathtopumpkins, to answer your question, it's not likely for Version 3.0. Version 3.1, however, most certainly.

andreharv, as far as the neighbor connections go, you'll still need Loop Connectors for the RHW-4, built as described in the FAQ. The same premise applies with the Wider RHWs, though they're a little bit simpler and less visually obtrusive to build.

Here's what a proper RHW-6S connector looks like:

Basically, you just need to connect the two tiles of the network with an RHW-2, so as to break the override, which creates the 2-way pathing at the city edge, which the game needs in order to read the connection as being passable by commuters.

Getting close still . . .

Really?

I consider that giving a centimeter -- probably not an inch

TheChosenOne · December 27, 2008, 07:32:09 AM

Hello Tarkus!
I have a question, the starter pieces will include the both directions for traffic? I mean, for example, the starter piece for the RHW-8 will be like the one for the RHW-4 in version 2, that we need to rotate in order to make two roads going in opposite directions? Thanks in advance!

If RHW v3 will be used in anything like the same way that RHW v2 is, then yes you will be able to use all puzzle pieces in all rotations. Keep in mind, though, that there will be rather limited diagonal functionality - much more than in v2, but still somewhat limited.
