RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[Korot]

From that I conclude that these overpasses haven't been made, yet. As for El-RHW 6,8 or 10: I don't know if they're going to be made, but, as all of these are 2 tiled networks, and only 2 of them have the capacity of 2 RHW-4's, you could just use 2 RHW-4 side by side.

[Tarkus]

Could we have working El RHW over RHW? My network underneath converts to RHW 2 when it passes over. Even if it is only a puzzle piece for he overpass could we still have one?

If you're talking about Orthogonal ERHW-over-RHW, it should be fixed if you've got the March 2009 NAM and RHW 3.2.  If you're referring to any sort of diagonal combination, those haven't been done yet.

That being said, I've considered making puzzle pieces for some of these overpass setups, though, as a "failsafe".

every time I try to make an elevated RHW 4 over RHW 6 or wider, the highway below becomes 2 RHW 2s.
Also, I really could use Elevated RHW 6,8, and 10. Are there going to be Elevated RHW 6,8, and 10??? 

ERHW-4 over Wider RHWs haven't been created yet.  As I've mentioned at least a few times in the past three pages of the thread, ERHW-6, 8 and 10 are planned, but it might be some time.

So, um, when are you going to be releasing these completed pieces?  I have some places I could really use them.

They'll be in the next RHW release.

And Maarten, thanks for pointing that glitch out . . . I'll get it fixed.

Thats what I meant. I need ELRHW-4 over the wider networks.

You can use one-way roads instead of RHW 4

Whenever I do that, I always get improper pathing

[io_bg]

Don't worry, the paths are the same with other pieces of that kind One way over X. This "method" just saves space in the menus because there's no need for two pieces (one in one direction and another in the opposite direction).

[Blue Lightning]

That is normal. It saves room in the RUL rings and also reduces the amount of work the user has to do. Traffic will flow.

Thanks for the heads up.  Whenever I build anything involving the RHW, I always use the drawpaths cheat to make sure I did it correct, and always seeing that made me always just use tunnels when intersecting a wider RHW

Hi,

I keep getting these with diagonal RHW, is this going to be fixed in the next version?

Thanks!


btw sorry about the people, apparently there's a big event

[Tarkus]

bob56, to answer your question, yes.

I have noticed that RHW digs pretty deeply into hills, can you have an optional version that has a bit more slope tolorance?

The RHW mod itself actually doesn't modify the slope of the network in anyway. 

A long time ago, the mod did include a modified Network Tuning Parameters Exemplar, which was designed to speed up network draw before the end stubs had paths on them, but that was taken out in the Version 2.0 release in January 2008. 

Unless you've got a Slope Mod installed, it's going to be using the default Maxis settings from SimCity_1.dat, which are just like the default Maxis settings on other networks--extremely tolerant. 

If it's digging in, you've got a slope mod installed somewhere in your Plugins that modifies the RHW slope.  The best solution would be to experiment with other slope mods until you find one you like.

Becca: You might want to try out Adam's (Ennedi) slope mods, which are available on the LEX.

[RebaLynnTS]

I do have a slope mode (x2), but I think it was made before RHW. I never thought it might be the problem, thanks everyone.

[metalheadfromny]

I cant get a screen shot of this, for whatever reason it's not working. However, sometimes when I place a diagonal exit on the RHW4 it digs an infinitely deep hole on one tile. The paths still work properly, it just looks really bad. Any input on this?

[deathtopumpkins]

It's a known problem. Just plop a road tile next to where you're going to place the ramp then bulldoze the road tile after.

[metalheadfromny]

Oh, simple fix. lol, Thanks a lot.

[debutterfly]

So I got back from Europe like a week and a half ago and noticed the traffic lights in Germany, Austria, and Czech Republic signal like old U.S. Trafic lights when going from red to green. Anyway, Alex, I like how you've been up-to-date on bug fixes. Hope this doesn't sidetrack you from other projects.

Are El RHW 2s gonna be possible?

[dragonshardz]

More likely than not. It's just a reskin of the ELRHW-4 support pillar models and a new starter piece.
