I made a valley by lowering the terrain and placed a canal along it.. I want to bridge a railroad track across the canal. Is that possible? I'm new to all these mods and I'm just getting back into SC4. any help?
Also, how do I attach screen shots of the game.. I think I could get more help if I attach a picture so you know what I'm dealing with...
It's absolutely possible. If it's the game's water, just drag the track to the other side and you should be prompted to build a bridge. If it's a custom canal set, you'll need the name and need to build an elevated rail line across the area, and then use the canal under-bridge pieces to fill in the gaps. It'll take some time your first time through until you get used to the pieces, but if you have any questions beyond that, feel free to ask.
Welcome to SC4D by the way.
First, what kind a canal are you using...??
And wait a sec, an elevated rail is a puzzle pieces and i never heard an elevated rail across canal puzzle pieces before. So technically you could never make one (correct me if i'm wrong)
But, there's a simple solution.....first, you need to make one tile gap between the canal and then put an elevated rail puzzle piece across an empty ground within the gap you made...although it's not exactly what you want, but that's the only way to do that, i guess. %wrd
To post pictures, click the "Insert Image" button in the Post Reply editor (right below the Italics button). Then paste the URL of your image (you need to upload it to Image Shack or Photobucket, etc) in between the [img] thingys. Please make sure you save the images in .jpg format first, because SC4 saves them as .PNGs which are really, really slow to load on the internet.
Anyway, you need to look for the under-bridge pieces in your canal set. If it doesn't have any, find a better canal set. These pieces should have overhanging water that will fit under NAM Rail Viaduct pieces.
