Version 0.1.16 is now published. This version has mostly bugfixes. The most important one is that balises on other tracks are no longer triggered. An error message is now also shown in the add track tool when nodes are to close for curves to fit.

For translators there is only one new phrase, "Nodes are too close for given radius.".

Finally a new version is published!

I haven't had as much time as before to work on this project because I'm back to architecture school now after the summer break. However I've added a feature I think is really neat. You can now tell a train to automatically drive towards a given destination and switches will be changed accordingly. You can also tell a train to be switched randomly.

This video is made in the JPods version of the plugin that will soon be published separately but it also works for conventional trains.

I don't have time to play with this, but I hope I get to see what you do in architecture someday. You have to be some sort of creative genius!

Haha, thanks

I haven't had the time to create a proper portfolio but you can download my last project before the summer break here if you are interested:) : http://eneroth.port0.org/files/ronnen.html

I would like to add a request.
I would like all the top faces to be split into quads so it would be possible to get textures to follow the curve of the road/rail.
As it is now the side faces are split but top faces are not, resulting in a long linear texture that doesnt line up with the curve.
Possible?

This would be quite complicated to implement and I have other changes that has higher priority for now. However I've been thinking for quite a long time about completely rewriting the extruder code which is the oldest, by far ugliest and perhaps some of the slowest and least efficient code in the whole plugin. If I do I'll definitely consider this.

For now you can try making the profile slope just a tiny tiny bit to divide it to quads and have it look flat.

For the first time in a long time there's finally a new version published. This time I've mostly fixed bugs and glitches and optimized. I've also put a lot of work in the methods and documentation for creating custom content, such as track types and rolling stocks.

One notable completely new feature though is the library mode of the Add Track tool. A group of tracks and other geometry can be saved and placed altogether, e.g. a complete turntable including the roundhouse or a station including switches, platforms and buildings.

The save format and location for custom content (track types, structure types, signals and rolling stocks) has changed. If you already have made own custom content run "EneRailroad::Templates.convert_old" in console to move and convert it.

I haven't updates the translation template with the new strings or added the translate code under the hood for them. So far the older parts of the user interface can still be translated but I might drop the translation support completely for the next version since the translations don't seem to be used very much, unless anyone really wants to keep it.

I'm also hoping the next release can be the "official" one with the version number 1.0.0. I'll try to get the plugin into the extension warehouse so if anyone finds a bug please tell me!

I've found a fix for the switch bug and will upload a new version as soon as another bug I'm working on now with track ends sometimes not updating when placing from library is solved.

No vacation, just a lot of things to do in school.

eneroth3

New version uploaded with a fix for the switch tool bug, a bug with tracks not connecting properly when drawn from library and a bug with saving rolling stocks' data on model save.

Thanks for the bug report, Dean!

UI Changed a lot，can't use the language file ？

There are some problems with this update on OS X 10.10.2 & SU 2015:

1. I can't select a different train to default in the Add Rolling Stock window, the icons and the input field Filter don't work.
2. If I have selected a track, the Track Properties icon in the toolbar is off (I know that I have access by right click or Menu > Plugins > Railroad > Track Properties).
3. No more support to translation to the other languages, for me and I think to the other people it's a good solution to have the plugins in their language.
I understand that it's a hard work give support for translations but I can help you with this if you give me the rules to introduce the codes corresponding in the different files, this isn't problem for me.

Thanks for your efforts to make the plugin better!!

That's odd. Can you still place the already selected one? Is it possible to write in the filter or can't it be focused at all? Is anything written to the console when activating the add rolling stock tool?

I removed the properties icon from the toolbar quite a long time ago since it got really big with all the new tools. However you should be able to right click the track directly and open the window from there.

I think I can add the translation support to the new mode of the add track tool but wait with doing anything to the system for creating and editing custom tracks, signals etc since that part may be changed and perhaps isn't used by most people anyway.

It is not the best solution, close session on OS X, run bootcamp to use one plugin only in Sketchup
When I need Railroad plugin I'll use the last version of the plugin with translation support.
