Track/Street Menu Manager

(was: Track/Street Menu Reducer)

You've loaded numerous mods with hundreds of track and road types, can't see through the menu entries anymore, and then settings windows and dropdown menus are lagging as well? This mod provides a remedy by hiding all unused track and road types or at least creating separate filters for them. It also makes the data available to other mods for their own purposes. And not only that: It also numbers the entries so that they are unmistakable and provides very long names with line breaks, which then appear in all menus - even for bridges and tunnels.

Functions are explained if you touch the settings items with the mouse pointer without clicking.

Important notes:

- BY ALL MEANS, PLEASE DO NOTE: In the loading order, the Menu Manager must be placed before the mods for which menu reducing/numbering is to take place, i.e. possibly at the beginning - but NOT before mods like 'Street Fine Tuning' from Lollus, which clone already numbered types and thus their numbers.
- The data is updated even without saving when a map is closed and reset - if desired - after starting the map. All changes only take effect after restarting.
- Track/street types subsequently removed from a map are retained in [COLLECT] mode. Collecting also works across savegames. It is thus possible to create a 'library' of preferred track/street types by laying short pieces of track/street in a separate map. Before its creation the Menu Manger is installed with [PASSIVE] setting and before building the actual gameplay map with [ACTIVE].
- The assigned numbers change depending on the installed mods. They are not identical to the repository IDs.
- The mod does not contain its own tracks or streets and can easily be removed again.

Kmown issues:

- The line break function does not take the character width into account. In rare cases, this can lead to the permissible line length being exceeded.

Individual settings - SettingsSaver compatible!

Individual changes can be made in <mod ID*>/res/scripts/wktsr_settings.lua with little scripting knowledge. Types that should NEVER be shown can be entered in the blacklist. The whitelist contains the vanilla types that should not be removed. But it can be expanded to include types that should ALWAYS appear. In 'usedlist' nothing may be entered manually! However, as a side effect, this list can be used to determine all track or street types used. To protect your settings against overwriting by later mod updates, the 'SettingsSaver' mod is recommended. External settings files can be imported into <mod ID*>/config/ and have priority over your own settings without destroying these or their backups.
