NAM Issues Thread - PLEASE POST YOUR NAM QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS HERE

I was able to duplicate the black by using #FFFFFF, so I'm certain that's the problem.  I might test the hardware / software thing when I get back home.

My guess is that this has to do with the rendering of the image itself.  I'm thinking if I do a test of a large block of white networks, it should prevent the aliasing, so I can get a screen shot and see what color is actually rendering.  (Does anyone know offhand if the region view image is modified after it is drawn with the colors in the DV/Region View array (that defines the region view colors to display?)

Also, while I'm on that line of questioning, does anyone know where to define zone view colors and RHW?  The exemplar I reference above only has a 14 variable array (actually 13 in my case, no zones defined)--which would preclude defining multi-zone views and RHW.

Hello, everyone!
Thanks for your hard work on the development of NAM.

I have discovered a minor path issue on OxO L1-road over Maxis Highway override. And it seems that it has not been reported since the release of NAM v32.


Is this problem caused by improper installation of NAM? Thanks for you help!

I don't think that this issue has been reported yet:



These are the 1-level Flex-HTs for AVE-4, and as you can see, they have no paths on the lowest two cells. Clicking on them with the avenue tool had no effect.

[Tarkus]

I just tried replicating that one, and I did have paths on that transition.  I remember that one being reported some time ago (not sure when), and it appears there's an updated copy of the Draggable Viaducts file in my Dropbox bugfix folder.  I'd try that file and see if it fixes things.

Judging from the pre-release archive, it was reported on December 20; given that the timestamp on my Draggable Viaducts file says December 19, it seems that bugfix didn't quite make it into the installer. I'd gladly install the bugfix, but unfortunately, the link you provided doesn't lead me to your bugfix folder; it goes to my own Dropbox home page instead.

[Tarkus]

Sorry for the incorrect link.  This should do it.  The time stamp on it is January 26th.

I am not sure if this was reported yet, but I am have been having a problem with SPUI interchanges.  It seems that after NAM 31, I am not able to build a SPUI interchange as with the attached L1 or L2 with both directions of traffic side-by-side.  I even tried using the Project Symphony slope piece and dragging and same effect.  I have no problem with placing a space in between both directions and when they are side-by-side as in the attached photo. What am I doing wrong as this a very typical configuration and there are situations where space does not allow the space conversion piece as in coming form bridges.  This also happens with RHW6S also.  Help.

Hi NAM team ans NAM fans,

I have an issue with railroads since v32. I can no longer create short curves between 2 intersecting tracks as depicted in the 2 attached pictures :
picture 1 shows a short curve with the 2 rail ends i just need to bulldoze
picture 2 show the result after bulldozing the 2 rails ends.  The nice curve vanished.
is it a bug or does v32 no longer allow these curves ?

FlexSPUI is in a bit of an awkward transitional stage at present, as it hasn't been fully adapted to the changes to the RHW system in the past couple releases.  There is no support for L1, if I'm not mistaken.  That's something I'm looking into addressing for NAM 33.

NAM 32 does allow those curves, but not if you're using the RealRailway (RRW) Plugin, which it appears you are.  That particular curve was deemed unrealistic by RRW specs, and was disabled accordingly with that plugin.

In fact, that sort of curve is indeed supported by the RRW and it looks much better than with Maxis Rail.

@jlpierro: Try to drag the curve directly, that is, without the switches. Dragging 45 degree curves is slightly more restrictive, if you use the RRW.

@Tarkus,@Memo :  Thank you for your comments. Knowing that it was feasible allowed me to do so ! I love the new railtrack texture.

Don't know if this has been picked up by other members but here goes. I've been using the Light Replacement Mod since it first came out a few years ago. It's been great not having Maxis' streetlights clutter up my streets. A few NAMs back, I noticed the Maxis streetlights had started to appear on some of my medium density/medium wealth residential side roads. Since installing the recent NAM, I've noticed the Maxis lighting has also now started to appear on low density/ medium wealth residential and commercial zoned streets. All other networks are fine. I have tried to click around, it helps to some extent but the Maxis lighting still appears on the street nonetheless. I've also tried reinstalling the LRM (most recent version) to see if that helped.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

Tarkus,

Thank you for the reply.  Yes indeed, it is L1.  I even tried L2 with the same configuration and no joy.  As you explained, yes indeed this has been an issue since NAM 31 and beyond.  Was really hoping a fix in NAM32 but am very thankful for all you and your team have done in NAM32.  Hoping for future capabilities.  Thank you again and please all you NAM team members keep up the fabulous work

Tarkus,

And yet another SPUI issue like I posted below since NAM31.  I even have a space in the middle on this one.  The lanes seem to cross when going over with RHW4 slope pieces.  There seems to be no problem with RHW6S.

Sorry, I encounter a bug here & not sure is there any fix for it:
There is no path for the junction between OWR-3 & street/road (See the picture attached)

Thanks if anyone can show me the solution 

[woodb3kmaster]

Unfortunately, intersections with any diagonal NWM network (such as the OWR-3) are currently unsupported. I don't know if the NAM team is planning to add support for them in NAM 33, but I sincerely hope so.

Draggable FAR3 to ortho curve doesn't want to play nice. Says 'land not suitable' while it's perfectly flat. Draggable FAR2 to ortho curve has no problems. 


This is with a fresh NAM32 install. Anyone an idea what's going on?!

I selected the autobahn textures for RHW...but I've got the american textures coming through.

This turned out to be an installer bug that was created by a change in another part of the installer.  The fixed files are too big to attach here, but here's what you can do to get around the bug:

• Run the installer in the Custom Installation mode.  For the Main Road Texture Style, choose one of the top two American-style textures.
• Under "Options for American-Style Road Textures", open up the RHW Options and select either of the two options.
• Run the installer to completion.
• In the folder "z___NAM\Road Textures\Euro Cosmetic Re-Texture Mod\RHW", you will find a folder called "0_Standard".  Move this folder and its contents to someplace outside your Plugins folder.
• Run the installer again, choosing the options you want.
• Move the "0_Standard" folder and its contents back to where you originally got them.

The American textures should be gone now.

Hi,

I have the same problem. I installed the RHW Euro (Dutch) Texture, but seems the RHW American texture (with Yellow line inside) in the game.
I have tried your workaround (see above), but it seems not to work. When installing the American road style, I can't find a "z___NAM\Road Textures\Euro Cosmetic Re-Texture Mod\RHW" folder. So I can't remove the folder called "0_Standard". Is this a know error?

That curve needs to be dragged different than the FAR2 curve. You'll find a picture in the Readme. It's been like that since its introduction.

Well well, do I feel silly now. Especially since I actually had the pictures open alongside to get a hang of all these patterns. 

Can you tell I never used it before?!
