The editor UI update is now ready for beta testing! Participate by opening your Steam client and right-click on the game, then select Properties from the pop-up menu. From the properties window go to the Betas tab and choose "beta" from the drop-down menu (no password required).
This version is intended to improve the user interface of the train, route and timetable editors. Some new minor features are also added.
Timetables, trains and routes saved with the beta version are incompatible with the current release version.
Please first make backups of any files you're going to work on using the beta version!
Common changes
- Changed zooming in 2D-views to zoom where the mouse pointer is rather than the centre of the screen
- Added sidebar to train and timetable editors (but not to the route editor yet). You can now left-click on stuff in the main view to show its properties in the sidebar
- Fixed length and position fields to accept comma as the decimal separator if the operating system is set to use it
- Added undo (CTRL+Z) and redo (CTRL+Y) for train and timetable editors (but not the route editor yet)
Route editor
- Fixed node elevation and pitch calculation when branching off from a non-level node
- Added missing new ModelNode creation option for 3D-model template editor
- Added min curve radius and max gradient soft constraints (track section is shown in red when it exceeds the constraints, but can still be placed)
- Added option to make automatically added track end buffers invisible
- Added option to make a platform invisible
Timetable editor
- Fixed test runs to actually run
- Added options to disable one or both scenario types for a template. Disabling both scenarios makes the template AI-only
Train editor
- Clarified vehicle tare and axle mass calculations
- Changed axle definition positions to be displayed relative to the centre of the vehicle rather than the front. This makes it easier to get the axles right since the majority of vehicles are symmetrical
The following translation keys were added (if translators wish to update their language files):
- KeyRedo
- KeySaveChanges
- KeyUndo
There will be at least one more beta version before the official release.
