RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[Pat]

That's an spectacular interchange you've got there, Alex.  RHW Day will be a great day, if I do say so myself.

I second that one!!!!

I have a feeling that it is tomorrow...

The sun will rise, we'll climb into cars . . .

I have a feeling that it is tomorrow...

Whenever it is, it has to be soon.  This new CMT coincides with an RHW-related issue that is going on in a certain popular SC4D thread. 

[jmvl]

Will RHW version 3.0 be able to connect RHW-4s and wider RHW networks to a neighbourhood city witch cars can use?
Will RHW version 3.0 include a RHW-10 to RHW-4 and RHW-6 splitter, like this?

1.I'm not sure but I think there won't be neighbour connections.
2.Yes, there will be. Look on page 185 (the second picture).

[Tarkus]

Actually, io_bg, it's the other way around.

jmvl, to answer your questions:

1.  Yes--it'll be possible through the loop connector technique.  You can already do that with the RHW-4 and RHW-6S in the current Version 2.0 release.  I have a link to the tutorial in the FAQ stickied at the top of every page.

2.  No, not yet.  The thing that io_bg was referring to is actually an RHW-8 to Dual RHW-4 Splitter.

And for those wondering about my Custom Text . . . it may mean something, it may not.    (If anyone can guess where that line actually comes from . . .)

Right now, I'm working on getting a last few things stabilized RUL-wise with the Draggable RHW-over-RHW stuff.

Although I think this song is where the text comes from, I have no idea what it all means.


Artist: Wilco
Album: A Ghost is Born
Song: Spiders (Kidsmoke)

Spiders are singing in the salty breeze
Spiders are filling out tax returns
Spinning out webs of deductions and melodies
On a private beach in Michigan
Why can't they wish their kisses good
Why do they miss when their kisses should
Fly like winging birds fighting for the keys
On a private beach in Michigan

This recent rash of kidsmoke
All these telescopic poems
It's good to be alone

Why can't they say what they want
Why can't they just say what they mean
Come clean, listen and talk
Hello private callers, IDs blocked

The sun will rise, we'll climb into cars
The future has a valley and a shortcut around
Who will wear the crown of drowning award
Hold a private light on a Michigan shore

You fool me with a kiss of kidsmoke
From a microscopic home
It's good to be alone

I'll be in my bed
You can be the stone
That raises from the dead
And carries us all home

There's no blood on my hands
I just do as I am told

Hey Tarkus! Awesome work in those interchanges! 
Where can I find that Z simulator? Thanks!

[jmvl]

Thank you for the fast answer!

1.  Yes--it'll be possible through the loop connector technique.  You can already do that with the RHW-4 and RHW-6S in the current Version 2.0 release.  I have a link to the tutorial in the FAQ stickied at the top of every page.

I've read on page 190 that j-dub had discovered how to make neighbourhood connections without the loop connector technique. My question was actually: will this possible in the new version of the RHW? A neighbourhood connection without a loop connector looks more realistic.

[nerdly_dood]

The only thing I can get out of that song is the line just after the one Tarkus has as his custom text - "The future has a valley and a shortcut around" but I can't think of much more of a connection between the RHW and the song than that.

WOW! I can't wait for this to come out man. And for me, my little brother ruined his Christmas because of a Wii remote accident. He was playing baseball on it in my room. Then he forgot to wear that strap, he swung, and the the remote smashed my computer. Then broke it . He had to pay $100 in order to fix it.

As you can see, that WiiRemote and or other WiiRemotes can do some serious damage.

Can't wait for the next update Tarkus, the RHW Pics are getting better and better 

[Patricius Maximus]

The sun will rise, and then we will climb into cars, sailing to our destination on a brand-new RHW-10.

Yes, but which sunrise will it be?

Hopefully not the Alaskan one....

jmvl, the thing in j-dub's pic is still a loop connector--it's just been covered up by text.  I'm looking at ways to somehow "disguise" or "camouflage" the loop connector--I might have something that works by one of the next couple releases.

TheChosenOne:  Simulator Z can be found attached to this post.

MonorailMaster: Sorry to hear about your computer--glad to hear that it sounds like it's been fixed, though.

Owaen:  You did indeed find the correct reference.    I do listen to a fair amount of Wilco . . . "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" being the most played song on my iPod right now.    (In fact, I've been known to listen to it while modding. )  Whether or not there's any significance to my custom text change . . . we'll see.    

More pics in a bit, methinks.

Awww I am getting more impatient and excited by the day 

[Monorail Master]

Tarkus: Well, it happens

Well I wonder. I forgot what I was going to post.  Oh yeah, how is the progress on the RHW tunnels?


Wow. Exactly three days till Christmas. I wish 3.0 can come out that day.

[sim-al2]

RHW tunnels are impossible without modifiying the .exe...  ...which is illegal. Any other questions have been answered in the sticked post at the top of the page.

[Tarkus]

Oh yeah, how is the progress on the RHW tunnels?

Well, there's nothing we can really do with the tunnels--the issue there hardcoded, unfortunately, as sim-al2 pointed out.  I am looking at possibly implementing that workaround we came up with back when we were discussing the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, though--I'd like to get that in place in a near future version.

Is that a teaser?
