You guys love to put out major modds at the end of months. Is that not true? i.e. NAM, RHW... so I predict a release for Halloween. And this is for your hard work.

I gaurentee a release before Halloween 2008.

Never predict the release dates... LOL You will only ever be disappointed. I wish that was the case also

But yes I also do appreciate your work greatly... it was the only thing that got me into playing SC4 again

Tarkus said sooner than you think...so it'll be a great treat to put in your trick or treat bag if it comes out on Halloween...I'm patient enough to never get disappointed...the modds make SC4 even grander to play though.

Filasimo · October 29, 2007, 01:45:17 PM

if thats the case Alex will release it 2009.....

Tarkus · October 29, 2007, 02:09:29 PM

Sooner than you think? I said that?

Oh wait, I did.

Define "sooner".

Thanks for the compliments debutterfly, glad you're enjoying what you've seen here. Unfortunately, nothing on the RHW or TLA is far enough along for a Halloween 2007 release--RL's been beating up on me pretty badly the past week. It's not quite that soon. I was thinking 2011.

Besides, I haven't even begun my usual teasing cycle.

@Alex so i guess your term of sooner means later

Tarkus · October 29, 2007, 02:26:45 PM

I guess it does, Ryan. I need time to properly "ramp up" my incessant teasing, if you know what I mean.

The good news is, I'll back with some TLA development screenies later. And by later, I mean sooner than "sooner". In the next couple of days, depending on RL.

2011?? I think anything sooner than Halloween 2015 would be a pipedream with all the textures I still need to do for the RHW system. lol.

jplumbley · October 30, 2007, 05:12:55 AM

Hmmm...

I dont know where people are thinking we will be releasing a new NAM on Halloween (Tomorrow), we havent even got the TLA fully working, RHW MIS is "almost" ready for pre-BETA, I havent even gotten to the SAM textures I have been given to add and... well, ArkenbergeJoe just made a poll yesturday saying which one would you like first? Then we still have to package and compile everything together. We cant do all that work in the next 24 hours.

Shadow Assassin · October 30, 2007, 05:14:11 AM

We can release a ghost of the NAM on Halloween.

jplumbley · October 30, 2007, 05:31:22 AM

Hey now thats an idea... Trick or Treat NAM ghost. Almost like DTs April Fools Vault.

nerdly_dood · October 31, 2007, 12:14:14 PM

Exactly WHAT would a NAM ghost be? Replacing the Euro interchange model with a skull?

A joke. A release in which had nothing in it just to play a joke. hehehe...

People have been trying to predict a NAM on Halloween, but it just isnt happening. As I said the other day in the SAM thread, there is still work to be done and it will be a consolidated release of NAM/SAM/RHW, so you guys will be happy.

We would like to participate in the SC4D B-Day Bash... but that has yet to be determined, there is no release date.

Haljackey · October 31, 2007, 12:47:06 PM

Well, whenever it comes, Christmas, New Years, next years New Years, I am sure we will all be happy about it

Keep up the excellent work!

The one issue with the AVE-6 is that actually putting props in the median like the normal Avenues will be extremely difficult.

That's not a bug, it's a feature.

Nicely said, mott. I couldn't agree more...

Tarkus · October 31, 2007, 03:58:01 PM

Well, I may be able to work up some sort of new median setup for the AVE-6 and AVE-2, if people are interested. I'm thinking cycledogg trees . . .

-Alex (Tarkus)

Shadow Assassin · October 31, 2007, 04:56:41 PM

Why not use the default Maxis props? I quite like them, especially the medium wealth ones in residential areas.

Hey Alex, I have made a prop family in the NHP Prop Pack Vol 1 for Cycledoggs, single trees. It might be useful for ya.

Well, you could use the prop family that I created for the SFBT Street Tree Mod. This means you have one prop family, and you can decide which trees show up by installing one or more style plugins. It's basically the same technique that Pegasus used for the "One Flag, Many Nations" mod.
