RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[Tarkus]

Haljackey, to answer your question, and elaborate on what Swamper and SA said, the answer more or less will be yes.  There are a few IIDs I had to change in order to fix the "texture artifacting" glitch that shows up on some of the puzzle pieces (namely the RHW-4-to-6 transition), but that's more or less it.  SA and I generally are in touch on a regular basis to discuss RHW development, so everything will be fine.  
And he has access to the new Alpha Build for Version 21 . . .

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks for all the kind words on the new RHW-2/MIS Ramp interfaces, everyone.  I'll have more to show in a little bit . . .

That looks awesome Tarkus!

I must say, I'm loving the new textures!!

[pilotdaryl]

Tarkus, maybe you could introduce some sort of mod similar to 'SAM' so that you can switch between texture sets like 'American concrete', 'american asphalt' and 'european.'  That a good idea?  Only problem would be that it could increase amount of puzzle pieces, filesize, size on menu and not to mention hard work...

Here we go again with RHWAM. This wouldn't be the first request, even though it may not happen anytime soon, its a cool concept.
And Mrtnrln I don't know what happened, but it seems that the right lane on the RHW 6 is now cut off with the guard rails in the middle of the lane line, see on the bottom in the middle there? None the less, your creation is appreciated for the rhw creation

... and it only takes a few seconds to change... yay.

But seriously, it shouldn't take long at all to get out a texture update when 20a comes out. I might add a few new things, RUL-wise, too.

[Such as the MIS/OWR transition...]

[BigSlark]

What's that? Alpha v21?   

I've got good eyes!

Cheers,

But wait, there's more . . .





pilotdaryl:  Well, the subject's been brought up before (recently).  j-dub more or less summed up what's going on, and to quote the FAQ (stickied at the top of every page of this thread):

13.  With multiple texture sets possibly being completed in the near future, what is the possibility of creating a SAM-type setup for the RHW?

The idea of incorporating multiple texture variations for the RHW networks has been considered, however, it is considerably more difficult to do this for the RHW than for Streets, mainly due to the way in which the RHW is generally used.  While a nice idea, it is quite unlikely that such a project would come to fruition any time soon.

Personally, I think it would be better to focus on getting the Wider and Elevated RHWs, as well as more MIS interfaces before even thinking about doing texture variations.  It won't be happening soon, if ever.  Besides, I don't want to contribute to the overpopulation of -AM acronyms. 

Kevin (BigSlark), your eyes must be playing tricks on you.    (Of course, the sticky post has also had some . . . interesting changes. )

Back with more here soon . . .

This shouldn't be a problem. I also see that the RHW is wrong (A RHW-4 Instead of RHW-6). Maybe that is the thing what causes the problem.

EDIT: Great! MIS Smooth curves.

[Shadow Assassin]

MIS gentle curves... finally.

Hi everyone, I've been playing around with the RHW and SA's textures in the last few days and they're superb! However, I noticed a bug yesterday when I created the following layout:



Obviously the intersection works fine in one direction, but not in the other! Thought you might like to know

[Shadow Assassin]

It's a RUL thing, not my fault. 

It's hard to explain, so it'd be better for Alex to explain it, LOL...

[edit]

Okay, I found a cool picture of a Super-2 expressway setup that could be used for the RHW-2's Euro mod MIS interchanges

[Shadow Assassin]

*whistles innocently*

Haven't you ever wanted to do this?

[Alfred.Jones]

 

You have no idea

[MandelSoft]

  (Completely stunned)

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

[el_cozu]

good lord..... how did you know that?? XD... lol........ jk....... awesome!

[Haljackey]

Thanks everyone for answering my question!

Tarkus:  Very nice work with the MIS curves!   

Shadow Assassin:  No way!  A avenue and OWR MIS transition both in one photo?  That's amazing!  Awesome work!   

Best,
-Haljackey

well... that is actually just OWR MIS transition... since that avenue already converted to 2 OWR... then each were converted to MIS...

but yes...... it is definetly (is that spelled alright) awesome

Fantastic work there on these textures, SA and Tarkus!

[Tarkus]

(freedo50):  What you've run into is indeed a RUL issue.  It looks more or less like that intersection needs a bit more in the way of stability RULing. It is indeed not SA's fault.

SA, it's great to see you jump into the RULing game now!  A most excellent job on those.

Another new concept for the MIS ramps:



And thanks for the compliments on the MIS curves . . . more coming soon.

Well Done Alex and Daniel! 

I'm really looking forward to v21...
