NWM (Network Widening Mod) - Development and Support

[wallasey]

Yeah they look good!

As far as lighting goes, I have found mrtnrln's models, particularly the most recent set to compliment the AVE6 well. Would some of these be able to be incorporated through some means?

Personally, the AVE 6 works really well for routes running into town through inner city areas....really creates a inter-urban feel!

One key thing to remember: It's theoretically possible to T21 any prop onto any network, even puzzle pieces. For my T21, I'm just using the Maxis props to retain the Maxis feel while also having it dependency-free. It doesn't mean that someone won't be able to make a different T21 using different props, or in your case, lights. (Aligning them is a different story...)

I've noticed that the OWR-5 diagonals don't work, even though they were advertised in the Readme.  Whenever I drag out the OWR-5 using the method described in the Readme, it reverts to two OWR-2s immediately after the curve.  This is quite similar to the problem the RHW-8S dragabble diagonals had in RHW 4.0.

Try dragging 2 OWRs in a row in a diagonal right next to each other, then connect it with the stater piece.

I tried it that way, but no dice.

[Tarkus]

I tried it that way, but no dice.

It's on a split tile setup (the one shown on the left) rather than the shared tile setup (as seen on the left, which is the method for constructing OWR-4 diagonals).  The only thing I could think of--are you by chance using the OWR Arrow Reduction Plugin from the NAM?  If so, it changes the IIDs for One-Way Road orthogonal and diagonal pieces, and there does not appear to be code in place to override the OWR ARP Diagonals for the OWR-5 diagonals.

[metarvo]

Yes, I was using the ARP at the time.  I've removed it, and the diagonal OWR-5s work perfectly now.  Thanks!

I'm not sure if somebody already reported this already but the AVE-6 & TLA-7 Networks don't like it when you make them the end of a T-Junction:



This also happens with one-way roads, streets & avenues. Haven't yet tried with interface with fellow NWM Networks yet, but will do in a few minutes.

That's because they're not supposed to, especially with two-lane networks. (Have you ever seen three lanes of traffic have to end at such a bottleneck? That's three lanes diverging off into two, so where does the third one go?)

And with the case with the AVE-4, an AVE-6 could theoretically end at a T with an AVE-4, but apparently it's not supported by the RULs.

It won't work with any single-tile networks (see GDO29Anagram's comment above for the explanation, though theoretically, ARD-3, OWR-3 and NMAVE-4 could make sense), but dual-tile and triple-tile NWM networks will work in that situation.

@Tarkus & GDO29Anagram: I guess my citizens would kill me if I did make an intentional choke point like that 

Thanks for the explanation

[kanedo]

Beam me up Scotty!

Not sure what is going on here.. My sims have found a new method of transportation.. teleporting!!
posting here cos it only happens with the MWM roads, using the standard medium transit simulator.. any ideas chaps?

[Tarkus]

That typically happens when the MAVE-6 network is being used.  From what our research has found thus far, it's more of a graphical oddity than an actual problem.  Your commuters, in all likelihood, are not actually "teleporting".

-Alex

[kanedo]

Thanks.. i figured it was just a graphic hiccup as nobody was quitting work or getting lost.. but i thoight i better post it anyhoo..   just looks confuzzling!

Anyways.. great job on all the recent projects

Hey, I just realized that on jdenm8 & j-dub's NWM Tutorial videos their road sections both have Cul-de sacs at the roads' ends. Is that due to the NAM Cosmetic retexture mod for NAM29or is it from another cul-de sacs mod?

That's the NAM Cosmetic Retexture Mod Cul-De-Sacs there in those videos.

Thanks Tarkus, I really thought with the newer NAM30 that mod would no longer be supported. I better re-install it then

[Ramona Brie]

I ran into the same issue with creating MAVE-4 diagonals. I should try the shared-tile setup next time.

[Nanami]

Is the NWM 2.0 work with Euro Road Texture mod that work for NWM v 1.1?

[jdenm8]

For the most part, yes.
All functionality that was present in NWM v1.1 will still show the euro textures.
The new content (Dual-Tile network curves and diagonals, triple tile networks, so on) however will not.
