Before your run off in excitement and install the new NAM version, please make sure to read this (short) document first and then take action, otherwise some things might go wrong. Uninstalling the previous NAM version Since many things have changed compared to the last version of the NAM, it is highly advised to uninstall the current version first. The original NAM download comes with an uninstaller, which is either available via an entry in the start menu, or by double-clicking the "uninst.exe" file in the NAM installation folder. If you have modified the NAM files for yourself, please make sure to backup them to a safe place, so you can apply the changes to the new NAM installation later. Using the BSC Cleanitol TM File wouangaine developed a tool that can remove outdated files from your plugins folder before installing a new download. Simply load the Cleanitol_NetworkAddonMod.txt in BSC Cleanitol TM and scan your plugins folders. BSC Cleanitol TM will move all files to the location you specified. This includes outdated NAM files, as well as beta versions and other outdated transit mods that might conflict with the NAM. However, it will not remove the outdated NAM readme files. Do not use the Cleanitol file after you've installed the latest NAM, or you will have to install it again. If you're unsure what to install, pick one of the predefined profiles that are available via the drop-down list at the top of the components list. "Recommended" contains a selection of the most useful plugins. Installing the new NAM Don't simply click 'next' a few times, but take your time to actually read the NAM installer pages carefully. The installer features an optional components selection page, where you can select optional plugins or different versions of a plugin. If you have installed (and used) optional components in the last version of the NAM, make sure to select them again. If you forgot to select a component, simply hit 'back' until you get to the components selection, or run the installer again. Installing optional plugins Usually, you can install optional plugins at any time, but as a general suggestion, they should be installed after you performed a NAM installation/update. If a plugin was released after the current NAM version, it might require an update of the NAM Controller, available in the NAM Essentials. Please check the release dates in order to make sure you have the latest NAM Controller files. The NAM contains the most recent NAM Controller files that are available at the release date, so you won't need to download the NAM Essentials if you want to upgrade the Rural Highway Mod (RHW), Street Addon Mod (SAM), High Speed Rail Project (HSRP), Rail Addon Mod (RAM) or additional bridges plugins that are released together with or shortly after the NAM. |
