Just wondering, are the files included in the NAM Essentials included in the Mac version of the NAM?

Yes, they are. The only reason the NAM Essentials has been mentioned so much is for people who downloaded the main NAM file before we fixed an issue with one of the RUL files. If you were to go onto the LEX and download the Mac version right now, the files would be updated.

Thanks for the quick reply, and that's what I figured. I had had the Essentials Filejuiced and installed previously, just in case, but it seemed a bit weird that there would be no zip file upload of the Essentials to go with the Mac version of the NAM.

That's a good idea, in fact.

The NAM Essentials use the Clickteam installer, so you should be able to use FileJuicer. Or is that one of the downloads that doesn't "juice" properly? Then a separate ZIP version could be made.

Someone could always make an osx installer package. I have OSX, so does goaskin and a couple of others. Thing is I don't know if you can have checkbox options like with the click team installer. I think if you couldn't, a zip file would be better than going through file juicer.

i'm confused.

..Is the new HSRP part of the NAM, available, or not yet released. If its out, where do you find it?

Thanks in advenced!!

Thanks

Jonathan · January 16, 2009, 11:35:26 AM

There isn't really a new HSRP, only a updated one of with a maor bug fixed (see HSRP thread) and the HSRP hub that was released alongside the HSRP last year, that will now work.

It "juices," but not entirely properly. The dats comes through fine (they work in the game), but all the file names get changed to the name of the installer with a bunch of numbers afterwards, so if there are multiple dats in the installer, it's hard to tell what each individual file does. The only place where this has been a real issue for me was with the SFBT rail texture mod, where I couldn't tell which files were for dirt, concrete, grass, and just darkening the rail texture (I figured it out through trial and error).

Andreas · January 16, 2009, 06:03:43 PM

Ah, I see. Well, that's an issue if you're trying to extract a specific file indeed, but for the NAM Essentials, I guess it is sufficient to extract all three files, and compare the filesizes with the controller files (NetworkAddonMod_Bridges_Plugin_Controller.dat, NetworkAddonMod_Controller.dat, NetworkAddonMod_IndividualNetworkRULs.dat) that come with the NAM - they should be nearly identical if there was an update posted. In any case, if you encounter a NAM or SFBT installer where it doesn't work properly, simpy send me a PM or e-mail, then I'll provide you with a ZIP file.

skyliner · January 16, 2009, 06:13:54 PM

Thanks for the great release. Any upcoming T-RAM stations?

jpj_starfleet · January 16, 2009, 06:51:45 PM

The new NAM is fantastic! I'm going to rethink an entire city because of the new T-RAM and new GLR Ave grass textures which are the coolest thing yet, also the flexible road tunnel and rail curves basically everything is great! I'd be playing it right now if it wasn't for the Battlestar Galatica marathon and premiere

mrbisonm · January 16, 2009, 07:24:11 PM

May sound stupid..........but I have just one question, maybe I have overlooked it somewhere, but I can't seem to remember seeing it. Do we have to uninstall the older version of the NAM or is this January 09 version only an update or add-on?

Please don't shoot me now. Thank you.

Swamper77 · January 16, 2009, 07:31:22 PM

Mr. Bison,

It would be best to uninstall the older version first to avoid conflicts with the new version. This version is a complete release, not an update or addon. The RHW and SAM V3 mods will still work with the new version of the NAM.
