RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[RebaLynnTS]

I gave this a lot of thought before i voted. It seams to me that most people would be working with one lane set at a time (4, 6, 8) and grouping them by lanes means a simple tab or shift tab (Yes shift tab works) through the ring. Sems it would be better than, click menu, tab (for ramp), click menu, tab (for starter piece), click menu, tab (for whatever)...

Of-course this depends on if you plan ahead or not, if not, it don't matter a lot.

Nice work there indeed alex

Now then to sort planning out for the roll out of V21 then amongst other things

One small step forward for NAMkind.



Yes, that is what you think it is.  It doesn't have lane-separation striping on it yet (these are very early prototype textures I worked up).
I've got the false intersection to initiate the override working, but it's not facing the correct direction for a diagonal RHW to drag out of it (the direction it allows dragging is where the RHW-2 is coming out of it).

And to answer everyone's questions regarding the new button arrangement for v21, here's what I'd like to propose:

-1 button for transition pieces
-5 buttons, 1 for each RHW lane width/type (MIS, RHW-4, RHW-6S/C combined under one, RHW-8S/C combined under one, RHW-10)

The transition pieces are under their own button, as they could fit in either/or with the lane widths, so I thought I'd make things "neutral" by doing it that way.

I am also proposing placing the El-RHWs under the respective width buttons (i.e. El-RHW-4 would go under the RHW-4 button).

How does that sound?

I'm lovin it there Alex and that sounds like a total winner!!!

[mightygoose]

cool

[RebaLynnTS]

Looks good! Sounds good! It'a all good!

[JoeST]

Yes, that  is what you think it is.

I am having a total and complete blank, what is it?... LOL

Variable-width diagonal RHWs.

Anyways, that looks great Alex! And I like the idea of the transition pieces under their own button and the el-RHWs under the regular RHWs.

can't wait for El-RHW...I sense something great being brewed by the NAM team.

Brilliance, Alex! Sheer brilliance, my friend!

This just gets better and better..

I think its just amazing what you can do with this network!

Best,

This is definitely an exciting development. I like the work that you do! Also, I like your proposal for the button layout. All of this is improving the transit system in SC4 hundredfold.

I prefer the 5 button configuration.  That would be A LOT better than the current so-called "organization."

Also, I propose for version 22-or-so (i don't think it will make it into version 21) a SAM-type texture variation mod for RHW-2 that has the same sort of theory as the RHW-4 <-> RHW-6S transitionpiece that will allow for a single dashed line, a dashed line next to a solid line, and a double solid yellow line.  This would make the ()-turn and RHW2 <-> MIS transition textures blend better, and also allow for more realism, because in RL (at least where i live) there are a lot of stretches of rural highways with stretches of those types of lines down the middle. (always yellow) that restrict or allow passing in certain areas.

can we get a picture please?

[yoshiisland2]

I voted for "number of lanes", simply because (IMO), it's easier to work with when using one lane setup at a time.  But your work here is fantastic so whatever the hell you put into each puzzle-piece group is fine with me!

For dashed lines (not dashed/solid double lines) the reflectors are placed one between every two dashes.


Please make requests in the aforementioned thread linkie: http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?board=164.

It's unfortunately not possible to do that, because of the way the game works.

Even if it was done SAM-style...
