NAM: Development

[roadgeek]

[...]
One idea that has crossed my mind is placing tutorials in the public space on how new content is made these days. The old way was churning out puzzle pieces but that became impractical when you consider all the functionality that has to be incorporated. One person that has been my mentor, inspiration and has led the way in the tools he has created is Memo who sadly has been inactive for quite a while. I have picked up many skills and would like to pass down his teachings in the NAM world. I wonder if that is an Idea that would interest anyone?

I for one would love to have some modding tutorials to learn how to make draggables. There are good puzzle piece tutorials out there, but they are really limited since many of the online tools have gone down. I can't promise any great products, but I'd love to use some tutorials to try out making draggable things.

I second that motion. All in favor, ....

Me! I can't imagine what designs others have got going on in their heads.

I definitely think it would be great to have a tutorial that covers all the minutiae of coding in RUL1, RUL2, INRULs, etc. - essentially, everything we use to make draggable content these days. A nod to newer dev tools wouldn't go amiss, either.

I would like to show my sincere appreciation for all those marvelous imaginative creators out there that has made and and continues to do so in SC4 that really energizes and makes me want to continue playing SC4.  I have personally put in over 13 years of SC4 playing and hard to hang the hat.  THANK YOU again coming from the bottom of my heart for keeping the game alive and well.  Really excited to see the future teases for the game which again really makes SC4 the TOP city building game out there.

[Seaman]

yes, I can second that! thx

[dyoungyn]

I realize it has been a little bit of while since the last post, but I just want to thank the entire NAM Team for creating this beautiful gentle curve.  Without you all's creative thinking, this would have NEVER been possible.  Thank you again.  BTW, all draggable

A recent RHW-related project went a little tangential, and turned into some updates for the draggable Elevated Road/One-Way Road/Avenue Viaducts.

WOW!

[gn_leugim]

very exciting! 

[dyoungyn]

Agreed, amazing; and wow, what can be done with this 13 year old game that was once thought impossible.  My only complaint about "Elevated AVEs/roads/oneways always looks funny in the region view.  Understand about the limitations of the Region capabilities.  This is the reason, I have been very selective on the use of "Elevated NAM components.

Draggable viaducts are looking great

Thanks, Gugu, gn_leugim, dyoungyn, and Noah!  Here's a little more where that came from, with a look at the Road/OWR viaduct intersections:

but did I say something??

We all know that the new NAM will come "soon", while "soon" might vary between 14 days and 14 months or so.

[woodb3kmaster]

The correct answer is always "The next NAM release is imminent."

We all know that the new NAM will come "soon", while "soon" might vary between 14 days and 14 months or so.

So the number to know here is 14..hmmm :p

Jokes aside, I know very well the policy of NAM release dates, so let's wait

Hello!

After MGB made his RRW tunnels (the DTR and now the STR version too) a thought came into my mind. When I installed the NAM last time (and probably into some previous versions too) I saw the option between CAN-AM with SimGoober canals OR SG-CAL canals. At this moment the whole CAN-AM thing is important to me due to the canal FLUP pieces. I was wondering how about other canal types? Like PPond/PEG Pond or Paeng's Urban Recreational Canals (URC) etc... I know the whole FLUP system will be revisited at some point in the far future (because all of them Puzzle Piece based and that technology obsolate), but would it be hard work to make some under canal transitions for URC and/or PPond? (oh and I know, there's some custom flup piece for PEG Streams made by the SFBT Team, I guess.)

Thank you for any answere in advance!
