All A-BART

This update was suppose to be more of a content update, but I got sidetracked (npi) by technical stuff.

The stuff that most people will be interested in is the addition of BART cars in three sizes and multiple-unit support. MU support means you can couple multiple engines in the same train and changing the throttle or brake force in one will change it for all of them.

Then I got distracted implementing batching support which has the potential to improve performance in certain situations, but has yet to be proven. You can toggle batching from the toolbox. I'd love to hear if it makes the game run smoother for anyone.

  • Added multiple-unit train support
  • Added 3 sizes of cabbed and non-cabbed BART cars
  • Added table with tunnel entrances so that trains can actually get underground
  • Adjusted height of passenger car
  • Added handles to boxcar doors and removed open lever (you can just pull them open now)
  • Fixed up some holes in the trolley mesh
  • Added toolbox hide button to toolbox (press the menu button to bring it back)
  • Added support for static and dynamic batching to reduce draw calls
  • Fixed pinch to zoom scaling to the wrong position when the room is rotated
