Making Models for Transit Networks: Some General Specifications

[mtg]

Thanks Alex it worked!

[mtg]

just a picture of the progress I'm making 



Still have to do:
-Underpasses
Avenue
Maxis highways (not that anyone should use them any more but well let's get them in there anyway  )
EMIS
RHW6
RHW8
RHW10
ERHW4
All diagonal underpasses
All underpasses with 3 networks (p.e. HEMIS over EMIS over MIS)

-Most of the paths

-Wide radius curves

-Something I didn't think about, but you probably will tell me 

-I'm also thinking about a transition that elevates to 30m and does a 90 degree turn over RHW4 (I hope you guys understand what I mean!?) but I need some new textures for that one I think! maybe that's a project that I will start around Christmas 2013

Sounds like a FLEXFly/WAVERide department thing


Anyhoo, wow, brillant work! You've come really far

Thanks, I did come far already! but still have a long, long way to go. And for some stuff I don't even know where to begin jet. Like the 3 network overpasses, witch RHW2IID should I use?

[Blue Lightning]

3 Network overpasses are multiple tiles and require compound overriding.
To help figure out whats what, draw an ortho RHW-2, then draw the other two RHW-2's crossing it in one spot. Then you'll see what'll be overriden into what.

[Jonathan]

wow
Your so fast
You could probably rewrite the entire NAM

Though wait until you get to the underpasses which involve diagonals, that will probably slow you down a bit

I think you're quite right! I was trying to do the ortho over road, and I can't find a S3D at least I think it's a S3D
5de22200 I think I need it? (looking at the RUL for EMIS)

[mtg]

hmm I guess diagonals are coded different? but how? 

[Jonathan]

No they are coded the same except the rotations and flips get complicated.
All networks that aren't flat use , so you are looking for an S3D.

[mtg]

Is there a logic involved in the ordering of the S3Ds in diagonal overpasses?
Because I can't find them

Because I can't find them 

Many of the EMIS diagonal overpasses don't exist yet in the current Alpha Build.  They will in the next one.

I really thought they where in there! well at least I can stop searching for them 
Let's create them  Thanks Alex!

[mtg]

Hmm I'm a bit confused on the diagonals?
To be more specific confused with FSH I want to override in the ortho-HEMIS/diagonal-Road crossing.
Should I use the Maxis 0x00003900 or the RHW 0x5e003900 or the other RHW 0x5e003a00
To be honest I tried all of them with no result
Maybe it's in the Rul

Well something works 



Although drawing the road from south-west to north-east doesn't work jet, and I think I have to try an other roadtexture in my model

[mtg]

success 

[mtg]

I must say diagonals are criminal!  But I'm hanging in there. I managed to do the road, rail and avenue!
Some times I have to redraw the avenue though,to get rid of that out of order piece!. I bet you guys know how to fix this!



and after drawing the avenue again (+ the rail)

[noahclem]

I love this thread! It's really cool to see how rapidly you progress. Do you plan to release any of these networks as part of RHW 4.0 or the RHW 4.x series? Awesome work! 

[mtg]

Thanks for the support noachlem. I hope everyone how visits this thread enjoys it!
This will not be included in RHW4.0 maybe in a successor! ( it still needs a s#*%t load of work  ) 

[mtg]

Hey all,

Just a sign that I'm still here  . Couldn't do allot these day's because off RL. 

[Nego]

Wow. I just popped into this thread to see what was inside and I'm amazed to see all of this. The double-hight MIS progress really amazes me. I can now see how much work really goes into all of this stuff. I hope to see more soon. Nice work.
