- In the top view of the tracks work area, the renderer's reach is the half diagonal of the screen. It used to be three extents, which cut wide windows short.
- Cells far from the camera no longer draw only their tracks: the terrain shapes are drawn too. Models keep their own ranges.
- In that view, the heightmap streamer loads chunks as far as the corners, up to 50 km. The detail comes from the size of a pixel, not from the distance.
- The walk over the chunks around the camera is skipped while it would ask for nothing, so a wide reach costs little.
- A setting, kept in the editor settings, leaves out the ballast of the railway in the top view, so the ground under the tracks shows. It is in the View menu and next to the extent slider.
- Self-test: ortho <extent> [noballast|ballast], orthophoto off.
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
- 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
