A switch (rozjazd) is a relation on a through niweleta, not a niweleta - the
through track is never split. It marks the theoretical point on the through
centreline; two tangent lines cross there (the through heading and that heading
turned by the crossing mark 1:n), and the internal diverging curve is fitted to
round the corner between them, reusing the same GapFitter the gap fits go
through. So the curve is free: a plain arc, or a łuk koszowy right inside the
switch. The theoretical tangent lengths and the curve length follow from it and
are read off, not set.
The branch niweleta's leaving straight is now locked to the frog: it starts at
the frog and runs along the frog heading every solve, only its length is the
user's. That enforces tangency no matter what is drawn, and because the first
straight is pinned tangent, any fit in the branch's first gap - including a
basket - meets the switch tangentially by construction.
solve_layout solves the niwelety and the switches together in two passes: solve,
read each frog, pin the branches, solve again. Switches serialize as an ejuncs /
ejunc section; older files without it still load.
Typical Polish turnouts (rozjazdy zwyczajne) are offered as templates that set
the crossing mark and radius together; the length each spans is computed from
them (arc = R*atan(1/n)) and shown, so how long the switch is is known.
The location picker now shows the real topographic map instead of a
hand-drawn outline, fetched as one WMS image for whatever box is on screen;
the schematic border is gone and only the city list remains, to jump the
view somewhere recognisable. Under the plan itself a georeferenced map gets
the orthophoto, tiled through the layout library's own EPSG:2180 grid and
cache.
What a native build was missing is here: the download (WinHTTP, on worker
threads), the decode and the texture. Finished transfers are handed back on
the thread that drains them, so both the library's cache and the graphics
API stay on one thread. The imagery service turns down browser user agents
and fails the odd request even for a plain one, so requests go out as curl
and are retried a few times.
Starting a new map now drops the loaded scenery and comes back on empty
ground, instead of leaving the previous scenery's contents under a plan that
has nothing to do with them. The reload is deferred to the top of the frame:
taking the editor off the mode stack while it is drawing its own panels
would pull the ground out from under them.
"New map" now asks what is being started. A fictional scenery keeps its own
frame, where coordinates mean nothing outside it. A real one pins the
scenery's zero to a point picked off a map of Poland, so the plan is drawn
in EPSG:2180 - the frame the layout library already works in, and the one
Geoportal serves imagery in.
The projection is the standard transverse Mercator series for PUWG 1992 on
GRS80. Checked against known values: the central meridian comes out at
easting 500000 exactly, Warszawa at 637382/486757, Krakow at 567614/244588,
Gdansk at 477038/720937.
The map behind the picker is a schematic border outline plus the larger
cities, projected from geographic coordinates on first use. It is coarse on
purpose - it is there to point at a region, not to measure against - and the
dialog says so. No network is involved.
A "Plan" panel, opened from Track layout in the editor's menu bar, draws a
niweleta the way the web frontend did: click to lay chained straights, drag
a corner to move it, and pick a fit for each gap between them. The geometry
is entirely maj0sted's - the panel gathers the input, hands the document to
solve_project and paints the rails that come back, coloured by whether they
came from a straight, an arc or a clothoid. Scenery nodes are untouched.
A fit the library cannot produce is simply absent from its answer, so the
gap is labelled as not fitting rather than left looking as though its
parameters took effect. Save/load go through the library's own document
format, so a project written here opens in the same state.
Also translates the comments added with -editor into English, matching the
files they sit in.
Drop-in copy of C:\Users\maj00r\Projects\maj0sted-master minus its web/
directory - the WASM frontend is not being ported, the editor drives the
same C++ API natively. What is left is plain C++20 with no dependencies:
domain model (niweleta, plan and profile geometry, fitting, parallelism),
project serialization, rail sampling and the editor document.
src/web/ribbon.cpp was missing from the library source list; added, since
without it the ribbon symbols never make it into the archive.
Squashes the last five commits: migrate to Python 3.14 (CMake, AppVeyor, Azure, README), vcpkg/setup-ci fixes, CMake adjustments, remove bundled ref/python 2.7, and related scripting/static file updates.

The loading screen has been significantly changed:
- The background image is now properly picked randomly instead of taking the `textures/logo.bmp` file, prepended by an external program such as Rainsted/Starter.
- The progress bar has been moved from a floating window to a thin green line at the bottom of the loading screen.
- The log window is now hidden by default. It can be turned on by setting `loadinglog` to `true` in `eu07.ini`.
- There is an animated wheel icon on the loading screen, and a trivia text is displayed.
New translation key:
- `"Did you know"`
TODO:
- Load trivia from a separate file.
