Title: Suggestion of new pieces for Elevated networks
Post by: gn_leugim on October 31, 2017, 08:22:29 AM
Hello people,

I was seeing the latest developments by Eggman121 (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=17809.msg521516#msg521516) on elevated networks, namely SAM's, and I had a idea.

First, is there a 7.5m to 15m on slop transition?? (see picture) it is currently missing IIRC, and would be a good addition to most, if no all, E-networks.

But then it remind me of other idea.
would it be doable to add more eighths so we could use E-networks to make custom (yet small) bridges? like have a road cross a small valley, with curves or with other networks underneath for example.

PS: how do you embed a imgur pic?  %confuso

On your imgur page, when you go into images and select a pic, you should see a list of links on the edge of the screen.  One of them should be a BBCode link.  Copy that link into your post in place of the link you posted and you should be good to go!  :)

I think the idea is very good. I've had the problem a few times where I needed a transition type for the RHW as you quote, gn_leugim. I think the missing part is feasible (almost everything is achievable with SC4), but for that it is necessary that an expert answers! :thumbsup:

There is another piece(s) I was hoping for and that is RHW6S dual (like with MHM) with elevated curves dual.

As it happens, the RHW FlexOnSlope L0-L1 transition can be overridden to the L1-L2 transition you're requesting. You just have to drag a L1 RHW network into its lower end, as with all the other FLEX overrides. I don't remember offhand if the same is true for the one-level FlexOnSlope transition for the Draggable Road Viaducts, but since it's based on the RHW transition, I wouldn't be surprised if it can be similarly overridden.

Yes, I've have just checked that out. but, what about those situations you are not using draggable elevated networks, or you can't use them and you need to use static puzzle pieces instead?

Well, we no longer make static puzzle pieces, so your best bet is probably to build the FLEX transition and plop starters on either end of it in a situation like the one you described.
