============================================================ Author: Paul Hoad I'm adding a new feature into the editor that will allow these objects to be seen correctly when you get a description. (i.e. listtree etc..m editing box) I would also like to be able to interpret the names into meaning full icons using a simple bit of reserved word identification. Firstly I need to get something straight, as to how objects are defined... so here goes... objects are defined in a track section by the 0x80 command this take 2 arguments 1) a distance from the beginning of the sector and 2) a offset The offset is actually a pointer to what I call a TrackObjectDefinition (an instance of a particualr object, including distance from road center, orientation,height) This TrackObjectDefinition also has two fields called ID1 and ID2 these are the true object identifiers.... so how do these work.... well ID1 is the main chappy! here point to number from 0 -> ~ 50 or 60 depending on the track... these ID correspond to A) External Objects (0...17) (those defined in the gp2.exe) B) Internal Object (18....) (those specific to the track file!) now many people have started to produce list of the offsets verses the name of the object this is fine for the time being and I have made an import facility to change my object definition to definitions stored in files similar to those below.....but if someone changes the TrackObjectDefinition at one of these offset then the object will change! but the description will not.... So what I'm looking for is a track specific list of object names but not for the offsets but for the ID1 and ID2 of the form ID1 - ID2 - Description for example ---------cut here---- 5 - 122 - Bush 5 - 123 - Tree 32 - 0 - Stand 33 - 0 - Bridge over troubled water ---------cut here---- this kind of thing.... it will be easy to do as you simple double click on all of the track object definitions and make a note of what they are... simple eh! of course 0 - 17 should remain constant.... so I can encode these directly into the editor so only put descriptions from 18 onwards, but send me the id's of number below 18 so I can put them into the editor... I need some of you to do this to help me cut down on time spent making txt files and more time on development... Now how about this... I'll suggest a number of reserved words (you can suggest other!) that the editor can use to pick up an icon, this way when we show the correct objects we can show the correct picture.... therefore here is my list of reserved words bridge stand no roof stand with root marshall craneadvert tree trees bush bushes flyover starting light pit building large pit building ... please add your own please send me your ID1 ID2 lists and they will become part of the editor releases...
