Parameters to give in the build menu
Many of these values are probably off...

For example: base height, I set it to 10m but, one cannot drag a bridge from that height, it needs to be higher.

I don't know what behaviour to set when both tracks are higher from base height, should I ...
1. Set them both as bridge type, if I do then the track will not terraform terrain.
2. When the tracks are below the surface, use tunnel, I have problem knowing whats ahead of the track, if the terrain is complex it produces unsatisfactory results.
3. Set alignTerrain = false in the code, and not use existing bridge type (which I am working on)

Shall I also provide more gradient choices ? If I provide too many options, will the user get overwhelm with choices ?

The existing gradient choices were trying to fit the purpose, such as 150m length with 7% gradient so the end points can cross, etc etc. It might be overly too steep compare to real world.

10.5 or 11m will enable dragging a bridge. My idea is some basic patterns as a whole object

For the love of whole numbers I will do what you did, apply multipliers, so will be keeping 10 20, but with multipliers of [1.05X] [1.1X] to produce your suggested numbers. Cheers for the info Enzojz

I thought I could do curves, but after attempts at formulating I couldn't get proper curves. I initially thought that the matrices were describing bezier curves, and that the second tuple suppose to mean control points... now I have no idea... I have came up with some numbers that looks like proper curves but I can't derive formulas for them

If any1 worked out how to code lua to detect whether some1 is using prerequisite mod, please share !!!

It's not bezier, it's trait and arc, simply paramtered by start point end point, start vector and end vector. using makelanes to get it.

In real railways, only trait and arc are used, if you want to get perfect symmetric arc, write a script of your own to generate the start point and end point ands vectors, it should be easy work with some basic math knowladge
