New Effect Layer Tools
Here's a summary of the new tools and functionality:
- Bulk Paint ground textures under a spline (e.g. add ballast under a track throughout the whole route or section of the route)
- Bulk Add effect layers to existing ground textures (e.g. add turffx or clutter to a specific ground texture)
- Choose from a range of presets to quickly create new effect layers for your current route
- Turffx presets are named "tfxp - xxx" and clutter presets named "cltp - xxx"
- Create and Edit custom preset effect layer assets (and share your assets via the DLS or .cdp)
- View effect layer configuration changes in a new preview window
- Set up "masks" to prevent effect layers from appearing under water, on a slope or above/below a certain height
- Mask effects to only appear on specific textures
- Use the Get Effects tool to find out which layers are present in an area
