mm and a really really sneak peak at the nmave-4 ......

Very nice as always. Love the new look. The previous NWM logo was very hard to reproduce, so a new one will be nicer.

I think the below quotes explain well everything I experienced while watching this vid

OMG!

At the risk of sounding bathetic, these draggable transitions without having to hunt for puzzle pieces will be, er, useful.

U r great!!!!!

rushman5 · August 13, 2011, 09:49:31 AM

you should run for congress, because development like this makes the future even easier.

I'll Have such fun

Jack_wilds · August 13, 2011, 03:46:05 PM

exceptional, fantastic, clever, a real well done

an enthusiastic slap on the collective back of the NAMTeam particularly for this nam-nwm tech advance

Well done guys

that secret weapon made my life... at least on the sc4 side

Pure awesomeness.

A friend has gone a whole year since the last release cycle NAM. Yesterday I saw a video of Alex with the new weapon for NWM and I am shocked. Incredibly good idea and a great application. But I wondered about the technology that is used to create this weapon? Its purpose is to remove / pointless puzzle pieces that were used as transitions to different networks of NWM. I have some doubts that Alex has used this same technology in version 4.1 of RHW allowing construction of an extensive network of routes making them MIS, through technology dragable. So then defeat many puzzle pieces on the outcome of RHW and guess what I saw now that the technology developed in quite an advanced stage - I'm right ?

And if I'm right I guess that in the future will be introduced and the transitions between different networks RHW.

Best regards,
Ivo

There's actually a slight problem trying to use the same trick with the RHW, namely that the DirtRoad (RHW) network auto-connects just like the street network, so it is difficult, if not impossible in most cases, to drag two stubs end to end, the game automatically connects them up. However, Alex has another trick up his sleeve for implementing draggable RHW transitions that looks promising.
