Update Track Creator Updates ( Eraser and Curved Line Sizes & Snap Preview )

Hey guys,
Yesterday , we pushed out some new changes to the track creator. First off, the tool selection is highlighted now, and provides betters feedback as to what tool you are currently on. Secondly the Eraser and Curved line tool now have set different sizes ( S , M , L )
This should help those who want more control over their tools. Please provide feedback!

Eraser ( Radius )

Small - 2px
Medium - 5px
Large - 10px​

Curved Line ( Break Point )

Small - 5px
Medium - 10px
Large - 30px

Small


Large



EDIT (new feature)
Snap To Preview
We just added a feature that allows for much easier line placement. Snap to preview line. This will show you where your line will be place upon click.



Try it out.

I like the new features!
Edit: The changing size of the eraser doesn't seem to do anythting.

 

Hmm... check again

 

Char I love this update! not only do I not use any of these new features, but the changing size of the eraser gets in the way! JK

 

BLEGH!

 

I see now

 

No any? Not even the eraser?

Also, Char, is their any shortcut key for this?

 

hey JK means just kidding :/

 

Oh sorry, I didn't notice the "jk" at the end.

 

No shortcut at the moment, Will throw it on the list.

 

NP! JK! ok JK about that!

 

Love it Thumbs up! EDIT* I really like the small curved lines and big eraser

 

Nice. I think we really needed this. Still though, the canvas rider editor allowed you to change the size of the eraser by holding 'e' and scrolling. Same with curved lines by holding 'a' and scrolling. It was 's' and scrolling to change scenery curves. This allowed for a much larger range of sizes and it was also a lot easier to change them. There's just too much clicking in this editor. Few other things that I think need to change (and others have mentioned):
-to be able to zoom in farther
-to be able to preview line without holding down click (CR was just hold down 'q' (line tool) instead of shift+click)
Snapping tool is nice but you still have to hold down click which is inconvenient because if you let go you make a line
-separate key binds for curved and straight line tool
-to zoom in and out based on cursor position (zoom in to and out from cursor as if it were the center of the screen)

That's just my honest opinion. There's still some things I like about FRHD editor a lot more like the powerup angles, grid and snapping. It's just very different and will take some getting used to I guess. I have been using the Canvas Rider Offline Editor, though. That's what I used to make my campaign track entry. Overall the FRHD editor is better, it just needs some vital adjustments in my opinion.

 

I agree with everything he just said ^^ DOn't want to be overwhelming but these changes would make the editor much better

 

I would say
1. Zoom
2. Shortcuts w/o shift+click
3. Scrolling to change line/eraser size (comes with the separate keys)
4. Separate keys
5. zoom in and out on cursor

So yeah you pretty much got it right. And remember this is my personal opinion. When the CR editor came out I still used the FR2 editor until I got used to the removal of WASD panning haha. I think I got used to using the 'zoom in to mouse' feature instead of this. It would be awesome to see these implemented though.

 

iTzChuckNorris , I just added the snap to preview now .

 

That's good. Maybe add a shortcut to toggle snapping. That really doesn't save any keys though because the CR editor would just have you hold the button instead of toggling it. This way is probably better though.

 

You can toggle it by pressing shift

 

o cool
