MX Simulator

Hey guys! I'm releasing an application that allows you to scale tracks to your liking, with options for either entering in your own multiplier or scaling to a specific terrain.hf scale. I hope this will be useful for some track creators, or people who just want to have some fun




Installation

• Download the Zip and extract both the application and the BetterFolderBrowser.dll
• Start MX Simulator Track Scaler.exe

Usage

1. Choose a folder
2. Select all files that you would like to scale
3. Choose whether you'd like the number you entered to be a multiplier of the original size or a new terrain.hf scale
4. Enter a decimal or integer number into the textbox
5. Choose any extra options you would like
6. Scale!

Notes

• Statues whose origin points aren't at the 'ideal' center of an object will more than likely be moved incorrectly. In the case that you have a few objects like this, you'll have to manually move them.
• You cannot scale jm's of objects, so all objects will remain the same size.
• Javascript objects that move with hardcoded coordinates will not be moved.
• Here's the GitHub repository for anybody interested!

FAQ

• What do 'Scale by Factor' and 'Scale to terrain.hf Scale' mean?

Scale by Factor multiplies your inputted scale by the original scale of the track.
Ex. Input -> 2 | The track will be 2x it's original size with this method.

Scale to terrain.hf Scale takes your input and sets it as the new terrain.hf scale number.
Ex. Input -> 0.6 | The track will be scaled to terrain.hf scale value 0.6 with this method.

• What does the 'file does not exist in application directory' error mean?

It means that you checked a checkbox for a file that does not exist in selected folder
OR does not have the standard name for the file type. If you have a file named
'billboards2' and you check scale billboards, it will throw the error.

Thanks bro!

Appreciate it, I might eventually rework it to add jms and shp files so it scales those as well. If it's highly requested and I got free time I'll do it.
