Namdoc:Introduction to the SAM

The Street Addon Mod (SAM) is a plugin which uses Starter Piece technology to add texture variants of the Street network. These variants also support (as appropriate) many of the same features as the base Street network, including support for the NAM's Diagonal Streets Plugin and Wide-Radius and Multi-Radius Curves.

To install the Street Addon Mod in its entirety, simply select the "Street Addon Mod" box under the "NAM Networks and Network Expansions" section of Custom NAM Installation. The "Networks and Traffic Simulator" and "Complete Standard Installation" preset options will also install the SAM by default. If one wishes to only install specific SAM override networks, clicking the "+" next to the "Street Addon Mod" box will expand the options, and allow one to select or deselect each network.

The Street Addon Mod includes a total of 11 different Street-based override networks.

   SAM 1 - Parking Lots (Original Base by Pegasus)
   SAM 2 - Herringbone Streets (Original Base by ardecila)
   SAM 3 - PEG Dirt Streets (Original Base by Pegasus)
   SAM 4 - PEG Gravel Streets (Original Base by Pegasus)
   SAM 5 - trolca Dirt Streets (Original Base by trolca)
   SAM 6 - Klinker Streets (Original Base by squidi and jplumbley)
   SAM 7 - Asphalt Streets (Original Base by Heblem [formerly Hableurg])
   SAM 8 - Cobblestone Streets (Original Base by xannepan)
   SAM 9 - Brick Streets (Original Base by JosefBrisko135 and ScruffyDeluxe)
   SAM 10 - Japanese Streets (Original Base by moonlinght)
   SAM 11 - Industrial Streets (Original Base by mgb204)

Each override network is initiated by first placing the appropriate Starter Piece (all SAM Starter Pieces are found under the Street Addon Mod button on the Roads menu), and then dragging the Street network through the Starter Piece. This process is shown below.
