Track/Street Modifier

Changes the appearance or direction of tracks or streets along already laid sections.

This mod is something of a magic wand++. While the original has severely limited functionality, more is possible with the Track/Street Modifier:

- Conversion of longer sections, also across different track or street types
- Mirroring (path reversal) - segment by segment or continuous - to change sides of masts etc.
- Add or remove bus and tram lanes as well as bridges and tunnels without reselecting
- Replacing bridges without annoying shortenings by 'landslides'
- Replacing normal embankments by bridges and vice versa
- fast variant testing
- collision-free handling possible
- 'Restore' function

Important notes:

- The 'Marker Start/End' mod from version 1.4 (preferably from 1.9) must be installed.
- Special information on the individual settings is available as tooltips in the 'Assets' 'Settings' dialog: Simply touch the corresponding elements with the mouse cursor!
- Processing always runs in the direction of the marking arrows.
- The preview segment is only a template for the subsequent conversion and cannot be installed anywhere. A yellow segment means that the existing type will not be changed.
- If the preview segment touches collision-protected higher objects, it is not possible to trigger the construction process. In this case please click somewhere else. The preview can also be moved using the [M], [N], [,] or [.] keys.
- The use at streets in built-up areas can lead to the destruction or displacement of the adjacent AI buildings.
- Signals, waypoints, shelters and loading stations are retained and do not change sides when the path is reversed.
- There must not be any intersections, constructions (stations, rigid segments or switches) or interruptions within the marked section.
- To continue editing a marked section with another tool or to try out variants, you can switch off 'Auto-delete markers'. Then the markers are retained.
- The section length is limited to 50 segments.
- The arrangement of the track and street segments can be made visible in the debug mode of the game by pressing [ALT GR] + [L].
- To avoid conflicts with the AI and to speed up processing, it is advisable to only carry out construction work in pause mode.
- The mod can be removed again. But loading the savegame the next time, a warning for missing resources appears. You can ignore it, see 'Known issues'.

Known issues:

- The markers remain active when selecting assets such as the eraser or groups of trees sending no feedback when toggled.
- After changing segments with stops or waypoints, the assignment to lines gets mixed up or broken.
- After removing the mod and reloading the savegame, the yellow tracks and streets for the preview are regarded as used for construction although they are only temporarily used and deleted again. The appearing warning, being permanently stored in the savegame, is a flaw of the game.
- If normal embankments are replaced by bridges, the pillars are missing. Workaround: replace the defective bridge once more by the same type.
