RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[Kitsune]

For some reason... putting MIS under flex fly on one end will make the guard rails disappear.... but it'll still be fully functional. The opposite end does not have this issue...

I don't know if this is a problem specific to me or not, but I have no paths on the diagonal RHW-8 to RHW-6 exit that lets traffic "in" to the highway:


Also, the MIS lanes have mismatched widths....

[Tarkus]

That issue has been more than fixed in the coming Version 5.0 release--we've completely replaced the entire texture set.

Ah, I see, thank you, Alex.

Although, while we're on the topic of weird pathing... is this pathing intentional? It doesn't really follow the actual layout of the lanes, so much so that traffic merges far before the actual pavements merge.

While were on the subject of pathing issues, Putting an orthogonal street in between two diagonal RHW-4 gets you flashing Red arrows AKA a pathing error.

Those paths date from RHW Version 2.0 when those paths were added.  The alignment of the textures changed a bit in later releases, but the pathing didn't, leading to that.  That particular piece was repathed for Version 5.0 to conform to the new textures--most other instances you'll find of that phenomenon have also been fixed.

Heh . . . first time I've ever actually seen someone use that intersection.   I've replicated your issue and will begin fixing it.  I probably won't release a patch given the proximity to the next release.

How about diagonal RHW-4 starters? Would come in handy. Sure you can use filler pieces, but they don't have lights on them with the RHW light mod.

Actually, one kind already exists as part of the Diag RHW-4 Type A Ramp (and the other kind as part of the new Diag RHW-4 Type B Ramp).

Demolish most of the piece and there are two little Diag RHW-4 stubbies there. 

[jondor]

Actually, the diag starters don't have the same bulldoze fix that the ortho starters do, so you'll need to draw out the network before demolishing the ramp.

I see

Is there any mod that enables two RHW bridges (or OWRs) on adjacent tiles? Thanks!

[jdenm8]

No. It is a limitation of the game.

[marsh]

It might be possible actually. Rather than use 2 separate bridges, make 1 bridge using a maxis highway as the network for it with the base being that of a RHW. (Someone did it with a suspension bridge)

[the7train]

Thanks for your responses. I thought I read someone say it was possible somewhere on the site so figured I'd ask.

[jdenm8]

BLueLightning made it, though it has no public LHD support (LHD support files were made, but they were never included).

[pimmapman]

Where can I download that Bridge?

[jdenm8]

Ta dah!

Is there a chance that bridge could be included with the v5 release, along with LHD support?

[Tarkus]

Come to think of it, I don't know why that bridge even requires separate LHD paths aside from the fact that there's lines in the Network INI in the UK Path Remapping section that are forcing the issue.  The bridge carries two-way traffic on a dual-tile network and there's no weird directionality issue like on the one-way RHW bridges (like the unreleased Maxis Highway-based RHW-8S and 10S bridges) that should require special paths.  I may just comment out/delete those lines in the Network INI and see if that works.

I thought the light mod was outdated by a few versions??

Getting by with using the ploppables!
