The Network Addon Mod (NAM) is a mod improving and expanding upon the functionality of the game's Transit Networks, produced by the NAM team. The most recent version was released on April 24, 2008, the project's four-year anniversary, and marks the twenty-third iteration.

There are also several separate, optional NAM Components available, including the Rural Highway Mod, Street Addon Mod, and High Speed Rail Project.

History

The NAM project was founded by redlotus, the7trumpets and Tropod, part of Modd Squad Transport (now the NAM Team) in 2004, with Version 1 being released on April 24, 2004.

Tropod headed up most of the early development on the project, earning him the moniker "Mr. NAM", up until the Version 19 release in October 2005. The project remained dormant for over a year, but was revived by several SFBT members, including memo, Andreas, GoaSkin, and ArkenbergeJoe, along with a few other prior team members, resulting in the release of Version 20 in December 2006.

With the June 2007 release (named "Version 1.0"), the NAM was "modularized", separating the main RUL Files that made the mod function out into a separate NAM Controller file. This was done in order to prevent various conflicts that had occurred, and to allow for easier updating of NAM Components. This also marked the start of the NAM Optional Components program, beginning with Version 13b of the Rural Highway Mod being released concurrently with the June 2007 NAM, and the first release of the Street Addon Mod in September 2007.
