Hey Trackmaniacs! Buckle up because we’ve got an update that’s faster, smarter, and a little egg-ceptional (🥚). Get ready to zoom through with the new, crazy fast, Fill (Ctrl+F), now turbocharged to support items, free blocks, and even macroblocks!

And wait, there’s more! Meet The Gizmo — just Ctrl + Shift + Click on any block or item to fine-tune its position and rotation like a pro. 😉

Feeling creative? The new Item Placement Toolbar lets you quickly toggle flying mode, autorotate, grid size, and so much more for any item -- it's never been faster or easier to place checkpoints and gates at the exact ... perfect ... angle! 💫

Don't forget to dive into the Custom Cursor Tab to check out the new Freeblock Clips Viewer and set your Snap Radius. Oh, and ever thought about placing water blocks at any rotation? Now you can! 💦

General Tweaks & Fixes

• Add a sweet 1-click enable button on the editor++-editor-plugin-is-disabled window.
• Picked block indicator got a facelift — say hello to a shiny new 3D yellow dot.
• Fixed that pesky issue where nudging items reset their skins.
• No more forced macroblock color when placing via API (looking at you, Map Together!).
• Custom selection already active bug — gone!
• Updated patterns for the latest game version.
• Handy item placement helper added to the Custom Cursor Tab (also already under Next Placed).
• Toggle the the cursor's quads and lines on the Custom Cursor Tab — disabling quads is useful when placing a block with reference to a 3d line, e.g., via Editor Trails/Route (assuming they're updated...)
• Change map color palettes from Map Props tab

Crash Fixes

• Copying meshes causing a meltdown? Fixed.
• Exiting the editor mid-inventory scan? Also fixed.
• Some rogue MT Editor E++ tab accessing null pointers.

Devs, this one’s for you:

We’ve added a whole bunch of methods and tools in the Editor namespace to streamline your workflow, like exporting draw instances, new constructors for creating macroblock, block, and item specs, and a handy function for refreshing items. Be sure to ask in the E++ support thread for help or examples!

• Editor::DrawLinesAndQuads::
  • exported DrawInstance@ GetOrCreateDrawInstance(const string &in id)
  • see E++ support thread for example
• Editor::
  • add MacroblockSpec@ MakeMacroblockSpec(CGameCtnMacroBlockInfo@ mb)
  • add BlockSpec@ MakeBlockSpec(CGameCtnBlockInfo@ blockInfo, const nat3 &in _coord, int dir)
  • add BlockSpec@ MakeBlockSpec(CGameCtnBlockInfo@ blockInfo, const vec3 &in position, const vec3 &in pyrRotation)
  • add ItemSpec@ MakeItemSpec(CGameItemModel@ itemModel, const vec3 &in position, const vec3 &in pyrRotation)
• Editor::MacroblockSpec: add
  • NewMbParts@ AddMacroblock(CGameCtnMacroBlockInfo@ macroblock, const vec3 &in position, const vec3 &in rotation),
  • AddBlocks(BlockSpec@[] blocks)
  • AddItems(ItemSpec@[] items)
  • AddMacroblock(MacroblockSpec@ macroblock)
  • array<MacroblockSpec@>@ CreateChunks(int chunkSize)
• Editor::BlockSpec: add methods:
  • SetCoord_AlsoPosRot
  • SetPosRot_AlsoCoordDir
  • setters for isGround, isFree, isGhost, and add void SetToNormal()
• BlockSpec & ItemSpec: mat4 GetTransform()
• Export Editor::ReloadItemsAsync(string[]@ paths) for refreshing items

• EXPORTS:

  • CGameCtnAnchoredObject@ DuplicateAndAddItem(CGameCtnEditorFree@ editor, CGameCtnAnchoredObject@ origItem, bool updateItemsAfter = false)
    • Use this to add an item to the map. When the item is returned, it will not yet have been loaded into the map unless updateItemsAfter was true. Suggestion: unless you are adding 1 item only, keep updateItemsAfter as false.
  • SetAO_ItemModel(CGameCtnAnchoredObject@ ao, CGameItemModel@ itemModel)
    • Use this to set the item model of an anchored object. May crash the game if the item is not loaded and used arbitrarily. Intended to be paired with DuplicateAndAddItem so you can change the item model. This is a beta feature and might change in future.
  • void UpdateNewlyAddedItems(CGameCtnEditorFree@ editor)
    • Calling this will load items that have been added via DuplicateAndAddItem. This SHOULD ALWAYS be called after adding items (ideally you batch them). The game might crash at some point in the future otherwise.

• add current game version as safe
• try to make refresh / update things a bit more forgiving
• show inventory/map cache loading status in menubar
• probably some stuff i forgot

• Next Placed: Added randomization for moving item phase offset
• Next Placed: Added randomization for next placed macroblock phase offset

• Add "Misc" tab for misc editor things
• Improve item spectators manipulation UI / functions
• Fix bug with mesh replacement picker where some nods would not be available for selection.

• Add editing support for GmSurf (only works with material IDs on Shapes). can be used to create bumpers and boosters with interesting new properties.

If, after nullifying the EME, you try and save an item model and EntityModel is null, then you need to reload the item and possibly remove some meshes (in MM), save, and nullify the EME, save again.
  • For example, this can be used like so:
  • Place platform ice red booster block
  • Turn into custom item
  • In mesh modeller, remove the side bits
  • Save
  • Nullify EME
  • Save again
  • It's now not a crystal (and probably isn't editable in MM anymore)

• Add some more tabs and info for SIG_DEVELOPERs

• Other minor fixes and polish

• Add apply phase offset tab (like apply color)

• Fix several bugs with callbacks that should be fired upon loading the Editor (fixes missing inventory cache)
• Add window for the Item Editor: placement params and animation parameters for custom moving items
• Add documentation tab with editor some controls (kb shortcuts etc)
• Add 'exclude CPs' option for randomizer (altering a CP resets linked status)
