SAM - Street Addon Mod

[Diggis]

Alex,  the textures in SAM at the moment show the traffic for the road - street 4 way and T intersection where the road goes straight through in the manner you descripe.  The simulator may not however.  The textures don't tell the traffic where to stop.

I apologize if I've overlooked this subject somewhere (I did actually look), but I have just discovered that the PEG Dirt road texture seems to be the only one without a rail crossing texture. Is this true, or did I miss something when installing? 

[Andreas]

I haven't looked at the textures, but it's quite possible that some textures are still missing (esp. for the dirt road textures). But no worries, the NAM Team is working on it.

[Diggis]

It is there.  I'm pretty sure it workes for me.  Have you updated to SAM V2?  I think it was missing in an early version.  I think we have all the intersections for ground networks done.

[EDGE4194]

yes, I am using SAM v2. I've reinstalled all NAM components just to make sure I have the latest of everything. If it's just me, then any help trying to identify what I'm missing would be appreciated. (I get a totally blank square where the crossing should be.)

[RebaLynnTS]

It seems to me I noticed that one RR crossing texture was missing as well, will have to go back and double check.

[Diggis]

I've just checked the files and it appears that the new textures are missing from this set... 

It looks like we haven't updated that set when we released V2.    The are done... I think....

*wanders off to check*


Edit:  Yes they do exist.  Will be in the next update, promise.

No worries, just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page

Thanks guys for verifying that it wasn't just me.

Question. I just got a new street mod from Heblem. Just like SAM it added a new network, but not puzzlepieces, but also not dragging. When you plop a default road down, and don't drag, its a parking lot, then more can be plopped next to each other that traffic will travel across it. It was amazing that cars actually go across and turn into the parking spaces, similar to the ATL when theres commercial around. So the ? is would it be possible if  PEG's spaces could do that as well with simulating the parking, now that this other mod has been made?

  I don;t really get your meaning...but i could probably say SOMETHING helpful if i knew what it was you wanted to say...

In short, Yes, however, you would only be able to use one mod at a time (to my knowledge).

I dont understand what you are asking about...  We could make custom paths for the Parking Lot Textures, but it wont physically make the cars stay in the parking spots, they will disappear when they get to thier job.  By using T21s you can make randomized parked cars, they wont be the ones you see "pulling into" the spot using the custom paths, but its the closest your will get.

Once again we get into the function before asthetics business.  I would rather have something functioning properly and let others deal with the asthetics, so at this current time I will not be doing something like this, because it is too much physical time to do with no in-game progress on functionality.

[dragonshardz]

yeah jp, you can always release an update with T21 cars on the parking spots AFTER everything works CORRECTLY.

[RebaLynnTS]

You could wait until everything is finished (bugs and all) and release it in 10 years like EA does

You know I am kidding right?

[j-dub]

My SAM already has aesthetics, so t21s are not the issue here, I just never saw cars turn off a path by themselves before, Heblems new parking lot network, they just turn off the path and drive into the buildings. Now, if you look at the pic, this is NOT a lot, nor puzzle piece, but as you can see the cars are coming off the parking tile, its hard to tell from the jam, they will turn off the parking tile to whatever. I don't know what Heblem did here exactly to do this, I just thought it was interesting.

[DFire870]

If I'm not mistaken, I think all Heblem did was reskin the road/street tile to look like a parking lot. It still functions the same way as before.

So wait, traffic could travel across the default tiles With Out being connected to each other before? THAT i have to see. I thought they talked about it, and it accepts traffic now, the way its modded. I didn't think that was the case before.

[Diggis]

If I recall correctly heblem retextured the single tile road (or street i forget...) to show the parkign lot texture.  I don't know about the functionality of it, but seeing as there is a texture set in SAM for this I don't see the point really.

[Pat]

What has happend there is a complete whoopsie but it works as it is, I do agree with Diggis why would they duplicate a parking texture they allready have for SAM??? The only diffrence is Heblem used Walkingsnake and SAM used Peg i think?
