NAM 32 Pre-Release -- Discussion, Support, and Bug Report Thread

[titanicbuff]

Im sure this has been answered already but is there not a texture for the New Railroad crossings yet? As in like road and street crossings. They are just blank right now.

not blank for me- mine show the original rail

Two more bugs I have seen...

_____________________________________________________________

This has been around since the inception of the NRD-4.

[jdenm8]

The diagonal RHW-6C A1 ramp is missing its barrier

It would be, it was made over a year ago.

Also, why is it called an "A" ramp?

I don't know about that. When I made it I'm sure I labelled it correctly as a Type B ramp. Chances are the original LTEXT file was lost and it was mixed up with another ramp or the LTEXT was just copied form the Diagonal RHW-4 Type A ramp and just had the width designation changed.

This has been around since the inception of the NRD-4.

I'm sure we fixed that at one point. Looks like the fix has been lost though. Now Issue #197.

Now Issue #198.

Just an issue I've been having, I tried to install Euro/UK textures for my LHD version of the game, however for some reason the RHW networks still have US textures, and the puzzle pieces have Euro textures, e.g.



I assume this is an issue with the installer, however it could also be I've mucked something up. Is there any way to check easily?

[Geometry123]

Two more... Both since NAM 31...

'Shared tile' diagonal RHW-2 has missing paths...



RHW-6S C1 Diagonal ramp has wrong pathing...

[Tarkus]

RHW-6S C1 Diagonal ramp has wrong pathing...

Fixed that one already.

Edit: The other one with the shared tile RHW-2 diagonals is now Issue #199.

The easiest way is for me to check things out in the installer.  LHD is used much less than RHD, so it is certainly possible that this is an installer bug.

OK, would it be useful for me to try a fresh install and, if the problem persists, post my installation summary here? Will also post any other bugs I find for LHD here when/if I find them

Not yet; I should be able to take a look at this tomorrow, and tell you what I find.

Will also post any other bugs I find for LHD here when/if I find them

That would be very helpful, as we don't have many LHD testers.

On LHD note, nearly all FARHW half-diamond pieces lack paths, and one has an incorrect preview model that displays both halves of the intersection. Also, the Parclo Inner Loop's preview model is offset one tile, you might want to take a look at that.

[trabman11]

I've noticed that with the new RRW, the arrows for the track switches do not show up any more . I don't personally see this as a major issue, but I just though I'd let you know about it .
Sorry! I should have posted this at the RRW forums !

This may have been previously reported, but I can't spare the time to scan 7 pages of stuff so here goes:

Somehow the NAM modifications to the Road Traffic Volume Data display has been lost.  Currently with 32Pr1 you get the original Maxis blue lines thus:



I rather miss this feature and hope it has not been dropped.

[Swordmaster]

Not reported so far. Are you certain you checked the item during installation (I assume you are--just making sure). There have been no modifications to this part as far as I know, so I'm mystified.


Cheers

[Kitsune]

I too noticed this issue..

[droric]

Hmm odd it works fine for me.  For the record I completely removed my 2 old NAM folders before installing not sure if that made a difference.  I also was sure to check the box for Regional Transit View.

No, you're the first one to report it.

Don't worry - we would never drop it!

Ah, two people have reported this, so it must be a real bug.

The NAM Traffic Volume Data View is a mandatory part of the NAM, just like the traffic simulator; it is always installed.  There is no way in the installer to disable it.  Furthermore, nothing in the installer even remotely related to the NAM Traffic Volume Data View has been changed.

However, a new version of the Traffic Simulator Configuration Tool has been included with NAM 32.  This version was supposed to fix some bugs, but it seems likely that it is deleting the needed file when an upgrade is made, but not replacing it if something goes wrong.  This is only a theory, as I have not been able to duplicate this bug.  But the TSCT is the only place where this bug could be, and I'm pretty sure that both of you gentlemen have used it.  Therefore, I have rolled back the TSCT to the previous version (which you can find here), which should not have this problem.  Please try installing this version of the TSCT over your existing one.  Then run it, temporarily change the main network capacities (e.g., to High), and then see if your volume view comes back.  If it does, you can then set your network capacities to whatever you want.  If it doesn't, please report back here.  (Actually, if you could report back here if you have success, that would be greatly appreciated too.)

LHD matter is now Issue #200.  As far as the Parclo Inner Loop QuickChange, the preview model works properly for me.

it seems that "normal" (avenue T avenue) turbo roundabout has the same texture (edit: or is it itself the same) of turbo roundabout avenue T ARD3.
is it intended?

I have run the installer with these settings, and everything looks fine on my end.  Could you please do the following:  First, tell me what options in the installer you checked to get the configuration you wanted.  Second, please list the contents of the "z_Left Hand Plugin" folder, which is in your main NAM folder.  Third, in your z___NAM folder, please list the contents of "Euro Cosmetic Re-Texture Mod\RHW" and any subfolders.  Thanks!

PM-d you the info, since it'd only serve to waste a lot of space here
