[relics8801]

### Edited
This agenda was already settled at 18, Feb, 2014.
MAXIS Default Ground-Highway PROP data (zip) is attached in my post(link).

Thanks to all for your helps.



Hello all
I trying to create some Tunnel-Lot. (Highway(Road) <-> Subway)
About a part of the Ground-Highway version,
I want to add a part of default-Ground Highway(orthogonal) in a Lot.(as follow pic)


Is it possible?
I did try to find S3D of this part in simcity_1.dat to ..._5.dat and Exemplar-files included them.
but I could not find them well in few days.

Do you have any advice?
Let me know IID of this or some works which using this technique if you know please.


Thanks for any helps.

Hi! I don't have any knowledge on this, so in this matter I can't help you. But I do have a sugestion. How about you make a piece like that, or a set of them, that wouldnt be transit enabled but just overhanged pieces, and have the RMIP textures on top of it, so you could plop them and have a tunnel that goes under the airport structures carrying either roads or rails.
That would be awesome to have. And the model right here does look awesome for it..

relics: sure it's possible. The ID is 0xC0FFF514. You can find all IDs of network props in  z____NAM/z Props and Models/EL Network Props.dat file.

Thank you for reply quickly, both 
and as you understand my unskilled English as well.

Thanks for suggestion and good word too 
I'm sorry to didn't write details of my plan, I want to make LOT 2x1 - TransitEneble.
and this model is a test-prop which made in few minuts
It might be more detailed model if it uploaded.


to Magneto
Oh, I see   I'll check NAM' file, and try to do it soon.
Thank you so much for ID too.
I'm beginner yet about BAT and MOD, I'll try to do my best.


Thanks

Result here　

Yes!! It was succeeded with using a PROP including in NAM thanks to Magneto  Great!
I like and satisfied for this result so much personally.

However,
In this method, It can not used right my Lot without the NAM.
and PROP is different a little from Default-GHW in some shapes
(about a height of Road-barrier and more)

If it possible, I want to used my Lot for many users whom not using the NAM too.
(of course, I love to use the NAM  )


Please continue to give me some advice or help to my demand.
Thank you.

You can reference this file as dependency instead, which is an older version of the file that's now in the NAM, but it contains the same ground highway prop. The difference is that the new version contains more props (which you don't require anyway).

Or, you could make your own prop using the correct s3d model (that is, 0x0A001504 from SimCity_1.dat) to overcome the barrier discrepancy.


Edit: If, however, the Lot is indeed intended to serve as a tunnel entrance, it would indeed make sense to create a Lot with an overhanging prop. As a side effect, you would save the trouble to properly transit-enable the Lot, such that it doesn't inadvertently impact the traffic flow.

Thank you for help and LINK too 
But this is dependent with NAM's data, It can not used without NAM too.
(Because Model-data are not included in it at all)

I'll learn, study and try to make PROPs from S3D.
I understand it is not easy , in this case, I'll upload my work with NAM's PROP as you said.


Thank you again all for your big helps.
I'll do the best.

You could also look at the NDEX Old Post Office by Ardecila, which has the same type of ground highway tunnel that you're using, and does not require the NAM.

Oh, Thank you Z for LINKs.
I'll check it and consult his technique, or still it if I can.

I'm just fighting with big walls of MODing, S3D, DS3, MATing and some problem with LOTing.....

Hello again ALL 
I could make PROP which I wantted thanks to you whom was give me some advice 
Especially, I greatly appreciate MAGNETO to your big help for a PROPing 
He gave me a permission to upload, so I attach a zip with them in this post.


MAXIS Ground Highway PROP - 8m and 16m
*It's not same PROP as the "Elevated Highway PROP"
*It can worked right without NAM
*It's compatible with Highway Road Retxture MOD (as NAM's one as well)



How to use PROPs on the Lot Editor
Please use them like pic as following. I don't know why they were displayed PROP rotated 180deg in LE 
Let me know a way to solve it if you know please.






Thank you again all for your helps!
