HRS (Highway Re-Styling) Project

[FrankU]

Ah, yes, I see.
In the meantime I noticed that the filenames are identical, but that the separate texture file is newer and larger.... Usually means: it is an update.
But these files are indeed the last versions?

Thanks Maarten!

Wow yall, such hard work and dedication to such a powerful and good looking project deserves a round of applause and a medal of architectism (I hope its a word somewere in the world), to all those working on this project. It is making sim city 4 a much more realistic and fun game.

I really like what you did here. This is great to get rid of the nuisance of the maxis textures and highway lots.  I would like to discuss with you some special needs I have for my specific highways and the style in which I play. I started a thread over on Simtropolis to try and gather some ideas. If you would be kind enough to just take a peek I would be grateful. I think you will find that I have a little different approach that what most people would call a normal style. Thanx for the time and effort you have given this texture rich project.

So, is this project dead? I hope not, as I think that it's a really good idea. I personally still use the maxis highways. Mainly in dense metro areas because they take less room than the RHW. Well anyways, hopefully this is still going.

Well, it's on hiatius for a while, mainly because I'm busy with other cool stuff (like the RHW). But maybe, just as the NWM, it will be continued. And you all know what happened to the NWM, right?

It was released?

[MandelSoft]

Yes, you can still find v0.3 on the STEX. But a next version will have to wait.

[Therealslimshady]

sorry to bother you but will this work with the NAM v29? or will it just make the computer crash when the two come together?

[j-dub]

They shouldn't, because its a cosmetic plugin that does not effect the simulator. Anyway, I still have been using Mrtnrln's mod since the last NAM release.

This won't work for me

I made sure that it is the very very last thing loaded (the ASPHALT part), and all my highways are still concrete.

However, parts of some highway transitions are asphalt.



What gives?

[MandelSoft]

Do you see the HRS concrete textures, or the Maxis concrete textures? If it's the last, the mod probably loads before the NAM does.

I think I see the HRS concrete ones because they look different than the Maxis ones.
I'll screenshot my plugins folder so you can see

[MandelSoft]

Can I see what you have inside the zzz_HRS directory? You might forgot to install the asphalt mod anyway.

Hmmmm... that's strange. I think the game doesn't like multiple texture overrides, I guess (and sometimes it looks like it occurs to me too, quite annoyingly). Then I don't know why it works for me in the first place. Sorry that I can't help you any further. To me it's also a mystery, I'm afraid  ...

[j-dub]

l would experiment temporarily renaming your existing plugins folder and make a new plugins folder & put JUST the highway restyling in there, then do a new city 2 c if the mod now works, if it works ok then u got a conflict in the existing plugins.

[mapaly]

I just tried that, no mods except HRS and the highways look like the HRS ones, but are still concrete.

Hi,
the HRS is a nice Mod, but i miss this Highway Triangle



(i have the newest version installed)

thx

[MandelSoft]

Strange, it should be supported...

Check if it loads after the NAM. That might work...
