MX Simulator

Been thinking about a bunch of random ideas for the editor, Could the thread clean and have everyones ideas for the in game editor to be posted in here.

----
Would it be possible to have a x/y axis lock for statues ? (easily placing straights with banners/fencing )

Adjustable Cursor Shape ? Maybe square variations ?

Console command to reload terrain.pngs without closing game and relaunching ?

Billboard placing similar to decals as in the drag/flow and spacing settings ?

Console command to view only certain files in game then edit ? I would love to edit disp just through shading.ppm ( /load shading or shadingx2 )

I wouldnt mind having a flow and random mode for statues.

An external editor with import/export i'd be glad also some folder where you should put ur objects then they would show up in a tab ( that should be in the new editor) like a ''menu''

When I'm testing tracks I made in Photoshop and I go back in game to test it again the terrain.hf gets lowered,and the terrain is quite a bit smaller.Is there a way that this could be fixed?Not sure if this really fits the thread,hopefully it does.

yes thats bugs the shit out of me, any solutions ?

Only thing is to place a white dot and a black dot. Since the game needs a 100% white and a 100% black to read the .hf properly that seems to be a hard one to fix.

I forgot you were supposed to do that,but I didn't know it fixed this problem.Thanks,Puma.

Yeah, I like this better. Feels better.

ooooh!
goddamn!
i thought that i was crazy, that´s why my track feels smaller now huh?

Scale doesn't change but highscale does when you save it then import it again from ps ( because when you save your terrain got black background)

Was doing some stuff (adding new decals ) and thought about this.

Is it possible to Highlight or go to the Latest decal or line of entry into the file.

Ex: Just added new grass decal, it would highlight X color in editor mode under decals, to kinda make it easy to find.



Also fixing the statues clickable thing with shaders on, you have to play with zoom to get the object not to show black.

Being able to 'lock' which decal you are using would be a nice feature. So annoying when you click on another decal and place them everywhere accidentally.

DJ asked me to add the decal placement modes to the statue placement a long time ago and I forgot about it. It's on my TODO list now.

When I add a decal I usually put it on the edge of the track so it's easy to find.

If you use 'd' instead of clicking it won't change decals. The placement rules are different in that case though.

What would be really awesome, is a pulldown selection menu for statues decals and billboards so you don't have to screw around with putting things off to the side of the track, or hunting around trying to find the right billboard (which you can't tell what it looks like in editor mode....) etc etc

Would these things be added into the regular editor, or would they be put in a external editor?
