Import and Export Tracks as Files (New Editor)

lol, no didn't draw it.

I think you guys could figure out a way to use it for collaborations. If you guys draw a scenery outline of the track, technically two people could work on a track at the same time, assigning different parts, and then merge them. And since the new eraser has type selection, you can erase all of the scenery lines outlining the track. One issue with the current implementation of track merging is that it if you merge the same track twice, it will layer the lines ( and we know layered lines mess up the physics ) . I am hoping to eventually solve this by doing a diff on the track importing, and only import different parts.

Just a thought, in track creation in general, you can do an outline in scenery and erase it later with the new eraser.

 

I was thinking maybe you should have a convert brush as an extra feature. So you can turn your already existing scenery or physics lines into their opposite. It's probably not a feature worth spending time on, but I think it's kinda cool.

 

I could definitely find use for this. Plus simultaneous collaboration, sounds awesome!

Look in the trackcode, press control g, and search #. The first hashtag you see in the track code seperates scenery lines from physic lines, everything before the hashtag is physic lines and everything after is scenery, you can move the hashtag around or delete it or add multiple ones. Yeah this would make a good feature though.

edit; Never mind I tried adding multiple ones and it just deleted my track lol

 

Yeah, I could do this easily. Might be something we implement after the editor is out. I am doing my best to get something out for you guys by tomorrow night.

 

As cool as that sounds (the conversion) there's problems and implications to that in a dense setting.
