Back to Installing Instructions Note: The Automata Plugins are also referred as Automata Controllers, like other NAM files where only one file can be installed at a time. The “…_Automata_Plugin_...” files have a naming scheme according to the following below: [IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ONLY USE ONE OF THE “…_Automata_Plugin_...” FILES, & ONE ONLY]. “…_Standard” = Default Maxis values, except: It has been slightly modified to take into account the ANT network’s speed. It has been changed to give more of an accurate representation of the speed the vehicles are travelling at on the ANT network, compared to the other networks. Nothing else in this file is changed. “…_Automata24_...” = Automata, of most kinds, is displayed for most of the 24 Hour Sim day. “…_Radical_...” = The following changes [increases/decreases]:
Spawn/Recall for:
Note: Spawn/Recall is the percent chance/capacity at which more automata are added/removed for/from a tile. First set of numbers represents the percent chance at the specified capacity at which automata will be added; the second set is the percent chance at the specified capacity at which automata will be removed. Notes The file names explain what files contain what changes & are all based on the “…_Standard” file above. If a file name contains two [or more] of the above names, then that means it contains those changes as detailed above. You do not actually need/have to use any of the “…_Automata_Plugin_...” file if you do not want to. It is not really imperative to the Network Addon Mod that a “…_Automata_Plugin_...” file is used. If you choose not to use one of the “…_Automata_Plugin_...” files though, then the Automata on the ANT network will not be represented fairly/accurately as intended. Automata: Automata are basically animations; a “visual” representation. So while they represent the underlying Traffic happening [to some degree only really], they are only animations, and as such any of the changes made above do not actually change any functional aspects of networks capacities/speeds/commutes.
