I noticed the nam cleanitol removed my hole diggers / raiser lots, is this because there is a new one burried somewhere in my menus?

Yup, there should be in the Misc Transit menu.

[Swordmaster]

With a standard installation, the hole diggers are in the Misc. Transit menu beneath the stations. There's also a self-destructing hole digger/raiser piece in the road menu if you select it in the custom installation.

EDIT: This samerton guy is wicked fast

It looks like the Avenue 90 degree curve was fixed so it's more symmetrical. The previous one was awkwardly wide on one end of the curve.

Yeah, that's been done by me when I had figured out how to create smooth curve textures. I am delighted that you noticed.

Also, there is another goody related to avenue curves.

I actually had to do a custom install to get the hole diggers - both of them.

Happy Nam-Day everyone! 



Well Done Nam Team

I've noticed that the geometry on pretty much every smooth curve piece has been improved and it looks very good.

[Wiimeiser]

Click in the middle of the crossing using the Rail tool. (Yeah, due to interference with Draggable FAR, we made the RTL "selectively activatable".)

Which I like, as it conflicts with the NWM as well.

This is splendid.  Well done, team!

**Favorite new feature**  The included .pdf manuals -- honest to Kibo. I <3 these very much.

Am really enjoying the new menu layout -- the biggest obstacle to competence with these powerful mods was the sheer volume of icons, I really appreciate the clearer icons in the Highway section, and the included underpasses are gorgeous.

I'm so glad my favorite games have such wonderful communities supporting them.

The included .pdf manuals

You mean the manuals that weren't supposed to be included because they weren't done yet?

[elhefebonito]

Still a great idea, and one that's making my transition easier

Let's just say it's an undocumented feature

Except when it contains information that not only is supposed to be kept from the public, but if exposed to the public, will lead to misinformation.

Yeah, noticed a few oddities when reading through.

One thing is that the Symphony ramps have starter overrides whereas I just get RHW-2...

[z]

Ditto this, cleantol was searching for my plugins in mydoc instead of Steamapps....

By default, Cleanitol searches both Plugins folders in the disc version of the game.  I keep my plugins in the Program Files version of that folder, so I know it works there.

However, Cleanitol does not know about Steam, and it should.  I will talk to its developer about this.  In the mean time, could you (or anyone) please let me know what folder structure Steam uses for SC4?

Is it also possible to change the textures from time to time?

Yes, whenever you want.  If you have installed textures separately from the NAM, you should uninstall those, though, and use the NAM version.  (This will be automated soon.)

Do I need to run the installer again then?

Yes, but it's a simple process.  Just choose the "Custom" installation, and the installer will start out with all your current options checked, and nothing more.  So the only changes made to your installation will be ones that you make yourself on the Components page.

Design choice. The ramps for Symphony don't have starters to allow tight interchange construction.
