NAM: Development

[Tarkus]

Speak of the devil . . .



Just passed it over to the rest of the team.  The new RHW documentation is basically finished, too.

Oh my...

A big giant Thank You to you guys putting all the work you do into this mod.

I can't wait to see it.

Cheers, tiger

Oh man! This is exciting

Is there gonna be a Mac installer for this version?

[Tarkus]

Thanks for the support everyone--it's been a long journey, for sure, and it feels good to have this build together now.

Is there gonna be a Mac installer for this version?

The Mac situation will likely be identical to how it was for NAM 35.  We'll run a Wineskin wrapper over the Windows installer so it'll also run on macOS.  Mac-specific tech support will probably remain pretty limited on our end, unfortunately.

... sorry for the crazy idea but have draggable tunnels ever been considered? As in, it would have a "ramp" like the height pieces, but instead would go x meters below ground, and then viola, a rhw tunnel.

[woodb3kmaster]

We have indeed given that idea some thought before. However, due to all our other projects taking up so much of our time, we have yet to work out the kinks that our earlier testing revealed. That's about all I can say about it without spoiling anything.

[Wiimeiser]

Obviously you wouldn't be able to put lots on top of draggable tunnels, right? I'm aware of the game's limitations, unless there's something I'm missing.

On the other hand, it's good to see the NAM update is happening soon, it's been a while.

@Wiimeister: Actually I guess you can, just need to do some little tricks on the models. I think noachlem made some experiment what he showed in his Siljoki thread. It's quite exciting
But yepp, dragable underpass tunnels?? Well that would be something really awesome! After that what is next? Dragable Pedmalls?

Thanks for the whole NAM Team all those efforts what they have done and will do in the future!

OK, good to know. Thanks.

That very much depends on which network the draggable tunnels use.

Unless I'm mistaken, Noah's tunnels are a result of some clever terraforming, not something the NAM would do. There are a couple of ways to use terraforming to make fake tunnels, and I've forgotten which one he used.

He made offset props from the buildings (which has modelled base) and put them onto tiny 2x2 or so lots so they are overhanging. Quite smart.

A minor issue I've noticed with the NAM 35 installer.  When it runs to determine what is already installed, it never seems to flag real railway.  I always have to go through the list & manually check it.  Don't know if it has been mentioned before, but you may want to check it out during NAM 36 testing.

almost.. there...

[Tarkus]

Not for public release, eh?  I have a feeling that won't be the case for much longer . . .



One could even say it's . . . imminent . . .
