The side sway from the lateral acceleration now goes off only on a track with a sideways value, and the random jolts on one with a vertical or a sideways value. Dips at the rail joints and cross level alone replace neither. On a switch it goes by the path set and what its joined tracks allow.
An edit in the editor also rebuilds the other switches of a joined group with the tracks they meet, and the tracks of a rail run whose joints moved. Removing a track does the same. While dragging, the tracks further off wait until the drag ends.
The clatter of a bogie's axles was right: the followers stand at the pivots and the offsets are the places of the wheel sets. The misleading name goes.
Also what Sonar had left: a parameter as a span, a const method, a struct and its member apart, commented out code, and a function of the grading tool split, with the same output.
A plain file like baltyk/mod/grass.scm was taken for a plant and never read,
which lost about a quarter of the plants on Baltyk, so overgrown tracks came
out better than they are. The grading is also split into steps.
Usage:
python tools/track_uneven_grade.py scenery/lk357.scn --out graded
python tools/track_uneven_grade.py scenery/baltyk_skm1.scn --out graded --route -107,2300 -4120,2491
It follows the includes from a .scn, .scm or .inc, and takes the state of
each track from what the scenery shows: ballast and rail textures, grass
on the track, curves, speed and road crossings. The originals stay as they
are, copies of the files with tracks go to --out, and with no --out it
only reports. Values stay under what a pantograph can follow on those
tracks, by simulation, the rise of the wire itself not counted.
Tracks in .inc files taking parameters are skipped and rotate blocks not
applied, the report says so. See track_uneven_doc.md.
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
- a press on the mast of a selected signal grabbed the gizmo, whose up axis runs along the mast, and lifted the signal
instead of moving it along the track; the gizmo gives way over a signal and while one is dragged
- dragged beside its track, off every track, the signal follows the nearest place of the track it stands by instead of
staying put
- a drop away from any track, and a signal in a file the editor doesn't change, say so instead of doing nothing
- a template without a //$e description of its own takes it from editor/templates/<its path in the scenery folder>; the
header scripts write there with --sidecar, leaving the templates alone, so a check of the game files by the store
doesn't take the descriptions away (the descriptions written into the templates on 8.10 and 11.10 were gone, and with
them every signal and drive the editor knew)
