@Pie42 wow, you were very quick with that, thank you!

It would be nice to be able to move layers forward/back. Currently, creating a new layer puts it behind the default layer, and the easiest way to change the order is by moving around sections of the track code.

Also, I found a bug:

The base layer clips over my current layer while I draw lines over it, making my current layer hard to see in some spots. (pink lines are on top layer, gray are second layer)

@Ponjoja lifesaver

@Ness (and isekeb) thank you for the script, it works great.

I tried the track again and it worked just fine, so it must've been an error by me.

I was messing around with Triip's "Gate III" track in the editor, which uses some fancy portal technique to essentially lock an area of the track behind a portal, and I noticed that in fr.app editor it's broken, while in the frhd editor it works normally. Is this a difference in game physics?

As a related suggestion, could portals be visually connected in the editor by a line (like when you are placing them), even after they are placed? This would help keep track of which portals link to each other and where they go.

@Ponjoja the picture you posted. Those are fun to draw and color in.

@Ponjoja these are fun to do

@Sir__Human that wall looks pretty cool, is it supposed to be coming over rolling hills?

One thing I'd adjust is the line under the battlements on the backside, and maybe making the lines smoother/follow the curve better.

@SomeRandomNoob said in Track Editor suggestions:

its kinda annoying for me to count how many tiles there are

You can see how many units long a line is in the editor by holding down CTRL as you are drawing the line (it also shows more info).

Example:

You can use this for precise sizing instead of counting the units.

good question, that's very annoying

Trace things if you want, just be honest about it and give credit if needed.

@Pie42 this is fantastic, congrats and thank you for creating this. I've found some bugs, of which you may or may not already be aware.

Bug: When using the select tool to move a line with "visible layers" selected, pressing undo will add that line to the current layer instead of its intended one. When I try this with "all layers" selected, it seems to break the editor. I can't zoom anymore, and lines start to disappear and glitch. The visible area also shrinks.

Possible bug: the "visible layers" erase option doesn't work. I tried with layers hidden as well; the eraser won't erase anything when that option is selected.

This is the track code I was playing with if that helps, you can see the colors changed where I ran into oddities.

As an idea, would it be possible to change the opacity of layers based on hierarchy besides changing their individual colors? For example, it would allow me to see a physics line in my current layer despite there being physics lines behind it. Normally they would be indistinguishable. I may have explained that poorly, sorry.

Still this is awesome, I am grateful for your hard work.

Rest In Pete

@Pete are you secretly Tplacella?

is Pete actually grok no way

@Grok is this true?

@Volund thank you, I'll try to get it to you before then. If not it's no big deal, there's always next year... or is there?

couldn't finish this in time

next year

Congratulations on your graduation

That’s a pretty neat feature
