New Route Editor

[eric]

Is your satellite imagery creating terrtex, or just rendering in the editor?

[GokuMK]

Just rendering, for now.

- snapables works 100% like in MSTS
- tracks and snapable snap when moved using mouse too
- objects are transffered between tiles when moved using mouse ( clears UNDO history! )
- "snapableOnlyRot = true/false" stick to track property in settings.txt
- minor fixes

Good work Goku.

I think this is definitely moving to a point where it is becoming a viable alternative to the MSTS Editor, particularly as mine has currently gone into sulk mode... (subject for another thread).

Google overlay excellent and will add similar functionality to that enjoyed in Trainz (with Transdem) or RW/TS20xx with the Google Earth plug in. I think that would probably be the limit though as using actual satellite imagery on a finished route could raise copyright issues.

I have just started making a new route to test TSRE5 with. I have picked Goa in India which is broadly covered already by the Braghanza Ghat route. There are however parts of that route I do not like, hence this attaempt with TSRE%.

First impressions are that the editor is very easy to use, once you know which key does what. No need for the RGE or Demex, all of that is done with the editor. Not tried the Google overlay yet, not sure how to generate the required key.

A question from one unlearned:

Is a route created and built with TSRE5, or an MSTS route MODIFIED using TSRE5 still compatible with MSTS/Bin? Or must such a TSRE5 created/built/modified route be run in OR only?

Thanks.

[GokuMK]

It is compatible with MSTS/Bin.

[Coonskin]

Thank you Goku for your reply.

I am watching the development of your route editing software with great interest.

Thanks for the super editor. I wanted to test the "create terrtex from map" function, but I only get so far as to "wait". In the log it says "The provided API key is invalid." Where and how do I get a valid one?

[GokuMK]

If you want to download only small amount of maps, remove this line from settings.txt
googleMapsKey = sdsdsdasdasasd

If you want your key: https://developers.google.com/maps/d...pt/get-api-key

- create and edit multiline sound regions and speedposts
- support for ORTSUserPreferenceForestClearDistance in TRK file ( Forests are avoiding tracks when placing trees)
- tile water level fix
- set opacity (Alpha) for map layer (use it before loading or downloading maps; use opauge maps only for terrain texture edition, NOT for object placing etc)
- google maps replaced with universal URL in settings.txt. If you want to use google satellite, set:

imageMapsUrl = http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center={lat},{lon}&zoom={zoom}&size={res}x{res}&maptype=satellite&key=

Wow, cool stuff being added in your latest versions. Thanks Goku, very much.
I'll admit, I have not used it yet, but keep downloading the latest version. When I have time, I look forward to learning how to use the latest and greatest version.
