RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[Shadow Assassin]

Yeah, FARR-MIS pieces.  Grin  You are doing great work. But will be puzzle RHW-4+MIS -> RHW-6, to make acceleration lines?

Technically, they're FAMIS-1 pieces.

And the ramp is a Ramp Type E :p

As for RHW-4+FAMIS > RHW-6... that is on the checklist. I want to get the FAMIS basic set useable (ie. transitions to normal MIS etc etc) before I continue adding new ramp types.

Daniel, that is an awesome surprise there !! The FAMIS is looking fantastic !!

(more surprise like that ?? )

[just_a_guy]

I like surprises! They're great, just like FAMIS. I would definitly use them!

Oh man!!!

  I'm speechless...

I wonder if there are plans to make some pieces so i can finish this 



Looking very good Daniel, and the rest of the team!

Well, first of all, I'd like to make an announcement--as you probably could guess, Daniel (Shadow Assassin) will be returning to the NAM Team and the RHW Project.  Welcome back--and excellent work on those new pieces!

And Blue, fantastic work on figuring that RHW-6C bridge implementation out!  That's a very nifty method you've figured out, and the model looks great, too!

And Jake (swat-medic), Hi-El-Rail over RHW pieces are on the list.  Should be relatively easy to add once I get a free moment--I've been wrestling the Orthogonal ERHW-4-over-Diagonal RHW-4 RULs.

Now that's music to my ears...

Good. What about the HSR and High Monorail pieces?

If I may chime in...

First of all, it is a delight to read upon the excellent progress made in this thread regarding RHW development every day!

As there has already been a wave of questions pertaining to needed pieces for the next RHW version(s), I could definitely use more basic pieces such as orthogonal / diagonal ERHW/EMIS pieces, smooth RHW/MIS curves (45°/90°/180°/270°).

Also I was wondering if it were possible to make curved ramp pieces for RHW? My imagination draws a 6x6 puzzle piece with a 90° curved ramp...

At any rate whatever you choose to release with next versions of RHW, keep up this splendid work!

Cheers,
U

Wow Blue Lightning, that bridge looks great!  I just have a question on functionality.  Since you said its two separate RHW4 bridges, will that mean it will only have capacity of RHW4 going each way instead of RHW-6C?  Either way its phenomenal work and looks great!  Also, are you working on RHW-8/10 bridges too?

HSR related questions should be asked in the HSRP topic

I learnt how to make puzzle pieces.  

Thanks to Blue Lightning for giving valuable help, particularly when making the actual S3D files.

So, you learnt how to make puzzle pieces? That's good news, and the puzzle pieces look very good as well. I also welcome your return to the NAM and RHW teams.

I wonder if there are plans to make some pieces so i can finish this 



Looking very good Daniel, and the rest of the team!

Ah, I have had that same feeling many times. RHW 3.0 cured most of my missing sections, but there are inevitably a few. I hope that the pieces you need will be included in 4.0, as I could use them myself  .

Technically, they're FAMIS-1 pieces.

And the ramp is a Ramp Type E :p

As for RHW-4+FAMIS > RHW-6... that is on the checklist. I want to get the FAMIS basic set useable (ie. transitions to normal MIS etc etc) before I continue adding new ramp types.

FAMIS? What a good acronym that is. You NAMers sure have a talent for it (but then, in my city journal at ST I have the "FTAI", so it might not be a rare talent, but I might just have it myself).

Very good to know!  Good luck on the creation process 


I tried a little retexturing myself.. didn't go as planned.

I have been working on a Cosmetic Mod to make RHW puzzle pieces look better.  It makes them a little better at zoom 5, a fair bit better at zoom 4, and a lot better at zoom 3.

This picture shows the puzzle pieces as they originally looked at zoom 4, and then as they look with the mod.

The mod improves many of the RHW puzzle pieces but not yet all of them.  I hope that it will be added to the next RHW version.

More to come soon.

Ouch...these last posts by SA & Smoncrie are hot! Look great both of you!

[swat-medic]

As you said Daniel.  Squee.

smoncrie: Looking very nice, a much ndeded improvement.

I'm in love with SA's intersection

[art128]

Excellent work, Daniel ! That intersection is fabulous !

More to come soon.

I hope that, I hope that....
