Hi,

thanks for your congratulations

The big height is due to the "style" tools.

I feel that I could add a main vertical toolbar to display all the tools, without modifying too many things.
I will think about that, but at the moment, I have not a lot of time to look at that
Il will report you as soon as I have a solution.
should you continue enjoying SD

Thank you very much for your quick answer!

I think SD needs both vertical and horizontal toolbars to display everything... Take a look!

This is my standard configuration, with the Application Bar on the left side. As you can see, the entire SD window is messed up, with hidden parts and, also, without horizontal scrollbar for the track area... SD doesn't like the vertical Application Bar!


Instead, this is a standard configuration with the Application Bar at the bottom. Things looks better, but still there are hidden items on the bottom and lack of the horizontal scrollbar for the track, even if I go fullscreen.


Actually I can't use SD until the next update... Hope you may work on it soon! ^^
Many thanks, anyways!

What about changing your resolution?

I can't! Auto-quoting myself...

Doesn't maximizing the window work?

Unfortunately, no... The result is the same identical to the second screenshot. The lower part of the software remains hidden!

Thanks for the clear screenshots
I didn't know the issue due to the application bar
I feel that an horizontal scrollbar won't be the solution: in fact, the tool group is translated outside of the application. I have to analyse that.

Don't you have translation issues while moving the kerb control points, with a vertical application bar? (x-translation too)

You're welcome.
I tried to pull up the window as most as I can, and I also noticed that the horizontal scrollbar for the track window is hidden too... Take a look:


And this is the maximized window. No matter if I use vertical or horizontal Appbar, the left side of the options is always hidden!


I think that, in order to get SD working correctly on Netbooks, the entire window should be resized a bit...

Uhm, no, when I move the kerb control points, the SD window remains as it is.

I'm using a Netbook as well and although my native resolution is in fact 1024x600 I can switch it to 1024x768 which doesn't flatten the image, but expands the desktop vertically, so when I move my cursor to the bottom of the screen it scrolls down to view the rest of the SD window. Maybe you could look for updated drivers for your graphics card to get the same option?

im having trouble understanding this. can you just drag and drop or something?
can you write like a simpleton help file?

i just want to make a nice track!

Frankly speaking, I agree with SassPD22. It's complicated for a newbie. I don't know even half of SD features. And I did read that readme many-many times. Would be great to have a tutorial about SnakeDitor with step by step pictures like Gustavo Marques did in his tutorial.

Same here. I still don't know how to use this, and Halama's tutorial doesn't help me at all...

Also, one more problem. I can't seem to understand the Layout tool. When I tried to add a segment, I can't seem to make it correct, it always messed up the layout.

When will we get a new version? I currently have to do a load of Armco barriers on a curve manually.

That's the skill of TrackMaking

Hi

I just want to tell everybody that I start to write some tutorials.
You can find the first tutorial (about HMap) in the tutorial thread

I hope this can help some of you

I plan to update SnakeDitor to be compliant with the new GeneRally version. It will contain also some minor modifications around objects: I do the most I can to improve the precision, but I am not sure it will be enough for the "specialists".
Perhaps a delivery between a month.

I just tried out v1.31. What I can see of it looks very interesting. Unfortunately, the controls under the tabs are shifted to the left, halfway out of the window. A second problem is that when at the standard zoom level, doing anything with one scroll bar makes the other disappear. When there is no need to scroll, they should probably be hidden anyways.

EDIT: The pics in that earlier post didn't load earlier, but now that I see them, I have that exact same problem (I have my taskbar on the left, as it makes so much more sense )

I will have a look at it, but it seems that you work on windows 7, and some functions on this OS seems to return to SnakeDitor some bad values.
I don't know if I will find a solution because I don't have windows 7, but I will try

I use Windows Vista, not win7. What OS do you use, curveo?

Oh I didn't recognize windows Vista
For my part, I use the very windows XP

Curveo, when i roll my mouse wheel up, the bar goes down. Could you fix it?

You are right: it's a mistake
I will solve it
