RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[thundercrack83]

Is there a possibility of Making a Transport Map that shows the RHW's?

See the FAQ in the stickied post at the top.

Why doesn't the RHW show up on the Region Transport Map View in-game?  Can this issue be fixed?

This issue cannot be fixed.   

The RHW Network is based on a road network which Maxis left hidden and unfinished, but was revived by the NAM Team.  As such, it was not programmed to show up on the Region Transport Map, and it appears this functionality is locked into the .exe, and thus, there is nothing we can do.

There is, however, a workaround, using the "DrawPaths" cheat from Buggi's SC4ExtraCheats.dll file (found here).  Run the cheat in game, and then save the tile.  Upon exiting the city tile, all transit networks will be visible.  (RHWs and Maxis Highways will appear green, while surface streets will appear blue.)  The one (and only) drawback is that these new path lines are visible in both the Satellite and Transport views.

No surprise here....
We all know you're releasing it on the 3rd anniversary....

[Tarkus]

Not necessarily.   There's plenty of noteworthy dates coming up in the next . . . oh . . . few months.  (That's all I'll give you. )  Of course, it might be too obvious if I release it on a noteworthy date. 

I could really be mean and post a poll, too . . . 

More teasers coming in a bit.

cant wait

[metarvo]

Teasing, yet pleasing.  I await the next teaser, that's for sure.

[nerdly_dood]

"Teasing yet pleasing", eh? I MUST claim this as a new often-quoted phrase... it's ELOQUENT and ¡me gusta mucho!

Awaiting updates.

[Tarkus]

Finally, the teaser arrives . . .

Reintegrated this . . .



(I have an MIS-RHW-4 transition textured, too, and just need to get it in-game--it'll be puzzle-piece based rather than draggable.)

And more elevated stuff . . .



I have a fairly good idea of what all is going in now, too . . .

Back with more in a little bit.

That's amazing, Alex!  Stuff like this definitely has a place in Orleans County.

Very nice! 

[Sheep49]

I see some great updates here! Everything looks nice indeed

[metarvo]

I will never get tired of this.   I heard something, though:

(I have an MIS-RHW-4 transition textured, too, and just need to get it in-game--it'll be puzzle-piece based rather than draggable.)

Does this mean that the MIS-OWR transition is draggable?

[Patricius Maximus]

I can hardly take it anymore -- draggable EL-MIS, MIS-OWR transition that's draggable; what a tease you are. I trust it is closer to release... or is that wishful thinking?

[Tarkus]

Does this mean that the MIS-OWR transition is draggable?

Yes, indeed, the OWR-MIS transition is indeed fully draggable.  As is that MIS overpass.

I trust it is closer to release... or is that wishful thinking?

It is indeed closer to release.  Can't say how close, but I do have a fairly clear idea as to what all is going to be included now. 

I would also advise that if you don't have the current RHW, but want to play with it before Version 21 comes out, download it now.  More than likely, just as I did last release, I'll lock the current files shortly before the release of the new version, to prevent potential conflicts.

I think I have a good idea as well. I'm glad it is closer to release.

Hmm... Big hint there *reads recent history*

[Tarkus]

I made good on my threat and posted a "prediction" poll . . . 

It's the season for teasin' . . .

I think time is coming......
