The terrain model was made once around the camera when a new scenery
took it; tracks laid on past it went over nothing. While a track is laid
or dragged out, the chunks missing within 400 m of the cursor are now
made from the model too, the nearest first, in a scenery with the
heightmap terrain placed on the map. The formations aren't made anew
after such chunks. A chip in the terrain panel turns it off.
- The plot draws the ground of the terrain model (NMT) as measured, before any earthworks. The squares under the route are fetched in the background. The tooltip gives the grade line's distance from the model.
- Applying a profile lays the formation of the changed tracks anew, or reshapes the route's earthworks when there are any, so the heightmap terrain follows the new grade line. The terrain step is joined to the track step: one undo takes both back.
- In 3D and in the top view, the camera shows the part of the route the plot shows once the plot stops moving. It keeps clear of the floating plot window. A toggle turns this off.
- nmt_shape_tracks can shape only the given tracks, removing the modifiers of their paths that are gone.
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
With the lay tool on, a scenery with no tracks nor terrain chunks gets the offer of the terrain model and the aerial photos
around the camera; without a place yet it asks for the PUWG 1992 coordinates of this point, as geoportal.gov.pl gives them,
and keeps them as the place of its orthophoto. The offer can be turned off (editor setting terrain_offer). Self-test
nmtoffer.
- editorNmt: squares of 500 m of the NMT at 1 m from the WCS service of geoportal.gov.pl, as GeoTIFF, fetched in the
background, kept in editor/cache/nmt and sampled in the coordinates of the scenery, placed as its orthophoto is
- the terrain panel's Terrain model section: Fit to the tracks moves the model up or down by the median of the
differences to the formation of the tracks (Biała Podlaska, built at 0: -145.73 m, 0.28 m around it); Along the tracks
and Around the camera make the chunks as the model comes in; each path gets its formation and slopes 1:1.5 as a modifier
of the terrain, laid over each other into one corridor, bridges and tunnels keep the model; the orthophoto is turned
on and laid onto the new ground
- the http client of the orthophoto in editorHttp, shared; fill_from_nearest in editormodeshared.h
- after the generator of Hirek (MaszynaTerrainGenerator): the WCS requests, the cache of squares, the corridor by envelopes
- self-tests nmtfit, nmtmake, nmtwait
