...And the next NAM is very, very close--can't give a release date, though.   

Oh, Alex! How you tease us so! I'll be waiting patiently...but not too patiently!

Well, you won't have to be too patient, fortunately.  If that gives you any idea . . .

Let me guess, it's going to be released on Memorial Day (tomorrow).  Am I right? LOL.

Almost . . . almost.  I can tell you the NAM is not coming out tomorrow.  I can also tell you it won't be Tuesday either.

Looking at that seven lane road made me think of a fake Aston Expressway - a unique stretch of motorway in the UK as it spends a couple of miles as a seven lane single carriageway.

Of course, in the real version, the configuration is usually 3+1+3 (with the centre lane restricted to all traffic, thus the road behaves like a six lane dual carriageway), but during mornings and evenings, tidal flow sets in, whereby overhead gantries change the arrangement to 4+1+2 or 2+1+4.

Somehow, I doubt that would be possible in SC4 without a major rewrite of the traffic simulator (a coding nightmare!) and probably several hundred lines of EXE code as well - so beyond the scope of even the most dedicated BATters.

Alex,
You're frustrating. The Other NAM'ers just lounge around laughing at the peons while you taunt us! No more, no less, despite the fact your modding skillz amaze me.

Cheers,
Kevin

Hey Kevin-

I am indeed frustrating.    People accused me of taunting quite awhile ago with RHW Development, so I just kind of got in the habit of it.  It's all meant in jest, of course.  To quote sportscaster Chris Myers [linkage], "I kid because I care."  In truth, I'm probably just as excited about these mods as you guys are. 

And to tease again (I can't help it ), you really don't have long to wait until certain things happen.  It's "Down at the edge, round by the corner", so to speak [linkage].   

And just to take the edge off the teasing, here's a somewhat old pic, which hints at some future developments:

Darn you, Tarkus !!!

Bless you, Tarkus !!!

You rock Tarkus.  Hit me up on MSN tonight if you can.

[thundercrack83]

Well, this is quite interesting! I can't wait to see where this is heading. Great work, Alex, as always!

:cross fingers: please make ramps for those pieces please plase plase!!!

:cross fingers: please make ramps for those pieces please plase plase!!! 

I have this very strange feeling you're going to get your wish.  I don't know anything for sure (Tarkus doesn't let on much ), but I have a feeling it's gonna be possible.

[BigSlark]

Darn you, Tarkus !!!

Bless you, Tarkus !!!

Indeed.

So, when are RHW traffic circles/roundabouts coming? 

Cheers,
Kevin

This thread hasn't seen an update in a little bit . . . so here's a sneek peek at some of the textures that may make it into the TLA:

[BigSlark]

Excellent work! Can't wait to see what's next.

A quick question...are there going to be any reflectors with TLA?

[Pat]

Sweeeeeeeet so is TLA close or still far off from a beta?

Very nice!!  But I would suggest first fixing the street intersection.
