[kilman2841998]

They need to upgrade the servers for Simtropolis... every time I go on the website it says "Server over capacity"....Nuff Said

[germankid21]

hey, 1.) ive downloaded the NAM and RHW mod and they dont seem to open when i play the game ive extracted them to plugins in my simcity 4 folder using winrar but while all my other lots and downloads work these two don't. and 2.) what is the

The BRF Tunnel and Slope Mod?

I have no clue what its purpose is and i dont know what to open it with. winrar doesn't open it PLEASEEEEEEEE HELPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THX!

[XboxHerO3467]

When i try to make the road go up like on part 2:02 2:08 it won't work can you help me?

[Asteconn]

@XboxHerO3467 :: try dragging from the other side. SC4 is a bit weird with its slopes.

[TheNecropolis20]

@XboxHerO3467 is there anyway to use hole diggers to make railroads? im not trying to make a bridge though its tunnels. becasue theres a place in my city in real life where theres a portion of a subway line that shows though the surface near the corner of prosfect and superior in cleveland ohio. i already downloaded the rail to subway feature. thing is in one of these ends the subway does not go into a hillside it goes into a building called "tower city" it was called "new union depot" c.1940s

[sedontane]

can I ask what plop tool your using (blue square thingy)?

[sedontane]

never mind, mabye worth mentioning that the blue arrow is only visible at max zoom

[soykarlooosfull]

you are amazing with the rhw, thanks for your videos.

pd. how old are you?

[Asteconn]

@soykarlooosfull

I am 26

[Mitchd03]

You sound like James May. This is a good thing.

[Jet390]

I like the terms you use, like motor way. It makes more sense than "highway"

[zangalus2005]

Would you mind telling me what terrain mod you're using? It looks really good.

[Asteconn]

@zangalus2005

The CBF slode mod. The only downside is that it doesn't have any RHW slopes. I use railway to create the gentle slopes.

[Asteconn]

@eselocote21

Because the RHW is something resurrected from a half-finished network, its bridges are a bit random. You have to either: have 1 square between the carriageways, or use an avenue bridge. I usually use avenue bridges personally.

[BabaChriss]

01:48 That's the highest level of excitement I've ever heard from a SimCity player!

[midguardz]

Also Im really just interested in the on ramps so u have the option of the road joining the highway if it wants to this should be made available 90% of the time as u then have the option of not disturbing the highway cars by avenue intersections joining them by either gridlock traffic lights crossways or roundabouts. Where are all the on ramps and will these just happen automatically if you draw the road over the highway? I haven't seen it much. I fluked it a couple of times but how did i do it?

[Asteconn]

@midguardz

Yep - they're the original maxis highways.

The reason that the bridges can't happen automatically is that it's hard-coded into the game. If the modders knew how to, they'd have fixed it a long time ago.

On-ramps should be in their own menu button - press tab to cycle through them.

[midguardz]

Ive seen bridges build automatically the moment to place roads of highways maybe they are the original maxis ground highways and you dont need to build embankments nor play around with hole digger lots or worse still fiddle round with those terrible little puzzle pieces which have a million little different things to them including your mentioning yellow and white lines difs nicely explained by u but this sucks as a concept why cant you just get bridges automatically w/o wasting time doing this

[Guitarlover762]

How do u get the roads with the white dashes? Please tell

[Asteconn]

@Guitarlover762

Which roads with white dashes? The Highway or the Road?

[91BROWNIE91]

I know this is irrelevant to this video but can you connect rural highways to regular highways?

[Asteconn]

@91BROWNIE91

Yep!

[Superduperhog]

The bridge road texture doesn't correspond with the Euro road texture :(

[Asteconn]

@Superduperhog Yeah I know >.< That's the fault of the euro texture though. If I knew how to make textures, I'd fix it myself.

[garlic287]

Is that how you really talk; Or are you speaking into a microphone? Or, did you use some kind of voice editing thing. Because when I speak into my bluethooth my voice sounds different than how I really sound. Anyways, I like how your voice sounds when you're explaining everything in your video's.

[Asteconn]

@garlic287 Nope. That's actually how I sound.

[twilightrocks56789]

for some reason when i try to use the special highway tool mine has a red arrow what does it mean???

[1166925]

@twilightrocks56789 it means you have'nt downloaded the network file or the newest update for rhw

[Asteconn]

@twilightrocks56789

You've got a conflict somewhere. The best place to ask is the RHW thread at SC4devotion

[Searchingforsunrise]

Thanks for the tutorials! They were very helpful.

[OM3N1R]

Wow. I have been playing SC4 for years and always wondered how people used the NAM so well. Thanks for this!

[patchbowen]

that's gonna be pretty useful for me...

[YpsilonIV]

where can i find hole digging lots?

[Asteconn]

@YpsilonIV

See the sidebar

[texashouses]

your good man

[TruckerMC]

ty, great , going to try it now as soon as i finish downloading monorail stations ;)

[jshawn777]

its weird when i place a hole diger lot and then when i drag a road onto it to dig a hole it says unsuitable grade for construction.

[Asteconn]

You might have something nearby stopping it from operating properly. Remember that you need to leave a tile space between the road and the hole digger. Also; try flattening the area out with individual street tiles.

[639426]

Amazing but hey where do I download all of those roads and all that stuff u have please help me

[Asteconn]

@639426 See the sidebar =]

[monkey93222]

What is the road with the white dashed line? The only road that i have that looks like that is the one way road.

[Asteconn]

It's the Rural Highway, part of the Network Addon Mod. Youtube is rubbish and won't let me link to them directly. I'll send you a link in PM, but in the mean time, just google "SC4 NAM" and "SC4 RHW". Be sure to install the NAM first though ;)

[monkey93222]

I got the NAM and RHW mods but the road you have in the video looks different than the one in my version of the game.

[Asteconn]

Ahhh I think you might mean the Euro Road Markings mod? Yours has a yellow line down the middle yes?

[monkey93222]

Yeah that must be it! Thanks.

[partydude9999]

Yay first comment! Great tutorial,and thanks for the help! =D
