The include bank read every .inc of the scenery directory on the first use, on the main thread: opening the
switch panel or selecting a switch stopped the editor until all of them were read, which on a large scenery
directory under Windows takes long. The bank now starts looking as the editor starts, in the background,
and the main thread only reads the descriptions once the files are read.
- the switch drives, turntables and signals are read again from the bank when it changes; the panels show
"Looking for the templates..." meanwhile, only the edits which need the templates wait for them
- the sweep tool takes the templates from the bank instead of looking through the scenery directory again
- a folder linked into one of its own subfolders no longer leads the walk in circles
- the log tells how many templates were found and how long it took
Labels:
- every button, field, tooltip and message of the editor reread for a beginner: short nouns for the fields with the
sentence in the tooltip, the less used options under More settings, one glossary (field of work, template, track,
grade), sides told from directions, degrees and per mille as signs, messages built from one format string
- plural forms through STR_P; the last entry of a po file is read too, and the Polish plural rule is in the header
- lang/editor_pl.po: the code pass entries merged, 391 entries no code uses and 3 duplicates dropped
- roads: the notes and errors naming a road translated; the build options and the layout fold the texture length,
kerb sizes, traffic share, roundabout part, height over the ground and junction speed limit under More settings, the
lanes start folded
Grade lines fitted to the terrain model (NMT), a line or the whole scenery at once:
- fit_ground: a robust fit on nodes 5 m apart; the ground parting from the line (a bridge, a viaduct, a wall) is gone
past rather than followed, the bends keep off the switches as far as their curves reach, a run of bends the same way
is one point of intersection, a curve with no room is as sharp as the room lets it be
- the ends of the line and the other paths of its switches leading into lines fitted already bound the line by what
the tracks between can climb; ends meeting in the plan, laid apart in height by hand, are joined before the run
- apply_profile: the paths are split where split_path takes the parameter (a straight was cut in the wrong place, into
pieces of a few centimetres the game takes for zero length), no piece shorter than the margin; the paths off the
ends of the route are brought to its height
- Bytom: 1600 lines, grade breaks at the joints 89 -> 20; Tarnowskie Gory: 848 lines, 223 -> 3; no step over 2 cm
- the switch tool asks what to place: a switch, a slip switch, a crossing or a connection of tracks (crossover, double,
scissors, ladder), with the templates and the options of that kind only and one line of how to place it with the mouse;
the bar of hints says the same, the wheel keys of a connection included; panel in its own editormodeswitchtool.cpp
- templates are listed by their names, the lengths a and b and the rest of the label in the tooltip
- the panel of a selected switch shows its length, its type and its drive; the name, number, rail, kilometre and angle are
under Details
- one toolbar: the tools are no longer drawn a second time down the edge of the view; the track tools show select, lay,
plan, switch and parallel, the others behind More, which starts closed again (setting track_tools_all)
- the infrastructure tool has no button nor key
- the gizmo options start closed, the node bank isn't drawn in the track mode
- no drive models: said in plain words
- self-test switchkind
- Terrain work mode shows a browser of the textures folder in place of the
node bank; textures/materials can be dragged onto the palette entries
(replacing the material), the material field and the water material field
- Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y for heightmap terrain changes: a brush stroke or an
operation is one step of the editor history
- Ground conversion reads only the files of the terrain directives
(.txtf with origin/rotate, or .btf without text), paints the chunks with
the materials of the triangles, drops only the shapes of those files
- Fix: ground grids converted out-of-range floats to int, so whole-scene
queries returned the triangles of a single cell (shifted chunks)
- Fix: terrain layers copied from textures already uploaded without their
data stayed grey
- Fix: ImGui ID conflict between terrain tool radios and section headers
- Fix: layers of terrain .txtf files named with the scenery/ prefix and
could not be saved
- Editor selftest commands for the terrain
